CDM – Common Diagnostic Model
The CDM is an architecture and methodology for exposing system diagnostic instrumentation through the Common Information Model (CIM) standard interfaces. Standardization of these interfaces means that clients, providers, and tests gain a certain degree of portability and, in many cases, need only be written once to satisfy multiple environments and platforms.
CDM creates diagnostic instrumentation that can be utilized by platform management applications, and its tight synergy with the other models in CIM enables further integration of diagnostics into critical management functions.
Via CDM technology, Independent Hardware Vendors (IHVs) will no longer need to develop unique diagnostic solutions for their various customers, reducing their diagnostic development investment. In addition, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) will benefit by having a single vehicle to deliver adaptive software systems, and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) will benefit by having an improved level of support from their vendors.
