Dell OPENMANAGE 7.6 User Manual page 10

For example, a management console in the WMI application layer requests
the available free space on the client system hard drive. The WMI application
layer makes the request over the network to the CIMOM (in the Dell WMI
provider layer) on the client system. The CIMOM routes the request to the
appropriate WMI provider, which, in turn, routes the request through the
data router layer to the disk data provider in the data provider layer. The
information is then returned (through the same path in reverse) to the
management console.
NOTE:
OMCI 7.6 and later versions will not be supported by Dell OpenManage
IT Assistant (ITA) 8.x.
