DMI defines a set of properties that can be used within a single system.
The DMI property set consists of:
The DMI-SP must provide a ``Management Interface'' (MI) for management applications, and may optionally provide a ``Component Interface'' (CI) for manageable (instrumented) components.
Remoteable management applications interact with the DMI-SP through the RPC mechanisms supported by the operating environment. Remoteable management applications are implemented with RPC support layer support, so that they can open remote sessions to any DMI-SP available across the network, and use the procedural MI of the connected DMI-SP to manage its components; for more information, see ``Remoteable DMI service users''.
