Abstract
Systems and methods for extending and controlling access to a Common Information Model (CIM) are presented. According to an embodiment, access requests for a CIM object manager (CIMOM) pass through a CIM file system (CIMFS) where each access requested is authenticated. The CIMFS maintains and manages a hidden file system representing CIM classes and a CIM class hierarchy on a volume of storage. The structure, metadata, and values for the CIM classes, CIM object, and CIM providers are maintained in a hidden directory on the volume. This information is accessible via the CIMFS to use existing file system management operations.
