Paper Title
Out of Band Based Remote Management Using DMTF Specifications
Abstract
This paper presents a review on the solution for out of band based remote management using Distributed
Management Task Force (DMTF) specifications. DMTF provides a standard for secure remote management, including outof-
band management, of desktop systems. DMTF defines standards that support interoperability among system management
tools and managed computer systems. Desktop Management Interface (DMI), Common Information Model (CIM) and Alert
Standard Format [5] (ASF) are some of the specifications provided by the DMTF.DMI and CIM interfaces [2] are used for
the remote management when theOperating System (OS) is present on client systems. Remote control and alerting interfaces
provided by the ASF are used for management when OS not present on client systems.
