and configuration tool, and can be used for the following tasks:
Formatting a hard drive.
Deploying a software image on one or more new PCs.

Flash."
Configuring the system BIOS settings.

3.3.1 HP Client Management Interface
HP Client Management Interface (HP CMI) provides an interface to simplify the integration of
business computers with popular industry system management tools (including Microsoft
Systems Management Server, IBM Tivoli Software, and HP OpenView Operations) and custom
inhouse developed management applications. Using HP CMI, systems management tools and
applications can request in-depth client inventory, receive health status information, and manage
system BIOS settings by communicating directly with the client computer, reducing the need for
agent or connector software to achieve integration.
Some scripts are needed to access the HP CMI interface.
