Pywbemtools is a collection of command line tools that communicate with WBEM servers. The tools are written in pure Python and support Python 2 and Python 3.

At this point, pywbemtools includes a single command line tool named pywbemcli that uses the pywbem package on Pypi to issue operations to a WBEM server using the CIM/WBEM standards defined by the DMTF to perform system management tasks.

CIM/WBEM standards are used for a wide variety of systems management tasks in the industry including DMTF management standards and the SNIA Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S).

Pywbemcli provides access to WBEM servers from the command line. It provides functionality to:

  • Explore the CIM data of WBEM servers. It can manage/inspect the CIM model components including CIM classes, CIM instances, and CIM qualifiers and execute CIM methods and queries on the WBEM server.

  • Execute specific CIM-XML operations on the WBEM server as defined in DMTF standard DSP0200 (CIM Operations over HTTP).

  • Inspect and manage WBEM server functionality including:

    • CIM namespaces

    • Advertised WBEM management profiles

    • WBEM server brand and version information

  • Capture detailed information on CIM-XML interactions with the WBEM server including time statistics and details of data flow.

  • Maintain a file with persisted WBEM connection definitions so that pywbemcli can access multiple WBEM servers by name.

  • Provide both a command line mode and an interactive mode where multiple pywbemcli commands can be executed within the context of a WBEM server.

  • Use an integrated mock WBEM server to try out commands. The mock server can be loaded with CIM objects defined in MOF files or via Python scripts.

Installation

Requirements:

  1. Python 2.7, 3.4 and higher

  2. Operating Systems: Linux, OS-X, native Windows, UNIX-like environments on Windows (e.g. Cygwin)

  3. On Python 2, the following OS-level packages are needed:

    • On native Windows:

      • choco - Chocolatey package manager. The pywbemtools package installation uses Chocolatey to install OS-level software. See https://chocolatey.org/ for the installation instructions for Chocolatey.

      • wget - Download tool. Can be installed with: choco install wget.

    • On Linux, OS-X, UNIX-like environments on Windows (e.g. Cygwin):

      • wget - Download tool. Can be installed using the OS-level package manager for the platform.

Installation:

  • On Python 2, install OS-level packages needed by the pywbem package:

    • On native Windows:

      > wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pywbem/pywbem/master/pywbem_os_setup.bat
> pywbem_os_setup.bat

    • On Linux, OS-X, UNIX-like environments on Windows (e.g. Cygwin):

      $ wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pywbem/pywbem/master/pywbem_os_setup.sh
$ chmod 755 pywbem_os_setup.sh
$ ./pywbem_os_setup.sh

      The pywbem_os_setup.sh script uses sudo internally, so your userid needs to have sudo permission.

  • Install the pywbemtools Python package:

    $ pip install pywbemtools

For more details, including how to install the needed OS-level packages manually, see Installation.
