The LSI Logic CIM Solution is a Common Information Model compliant management
application for LSI Logic Mass Storage Elements. This tool allows you to
connect to remote computers on a TCP/IP based network and manage the storage
elements attached to them. The managed elements include Fibre Channel host
adapters (acting as SCSI controllers), SCSI peripheral devices, and SCSI device
drivers installed on the computer.

The LSI Logic CIM Solution consists of two separate software components:
   
    o An LSI Logic CIM Browser, and

    o An LSI Logic CIM Provider

The LSI Logic CIM Browser provides a means of connecting to any computer on a
TCP/IP based network, and manages the storage elements attached to them. The
LSI Logic CIM Browser may be installed on any machine that you wish to
manage your storage elements. It is possible to install a single LSI Logic
CIM Browser and have it manage multiple computers on the network. The managed
elements include Fibre Channel (FC) host adapters (acting as SCSI Controllers),
SCSI peripheral devices, and SCSI device drivers installed on the computer.
You launch the LSI Logic CIM Browser as a Java application by using the Java VM
(Virtual Machine) that the installation package installs.

The LSI Logic CIM Provider is a Windows service that runs on the computer being
managed. It provides information about the Fibre Channel, SCSI controllers and 
devices connected to the FC SCSI controllers on that computer. You must install
the LSI Logic CIMSolution on every computer that you wish to manage.

The LSI Logic CIM Solution may run on Windows NT, W2K, XP and Server 2003 operating
systems.

*************************** Installation Requirements ***********************

The LSI Logic CIM solution is a Java-based application and requires the Java
runtime environment. The CIM Solution installation package will automatically
install the Java runtime environment along with LSI Logic CIM Provider and 
LSI Logic CIMBrowser.

In order to perform management, even local management, of a computer system, 
you must configure your computer system with TCP/IP based networking.
