How to talk to CIM provider (which is inside host) from vcenter server ?

[Srini3012]

Hi all,

  I wanted to know how to talk to CIM provider (which is inside host as a vib file) from vcenter server ?

I am new to programming in vmware web client sdk.It would be helpful if i can get some information as how to start ?

My understanding till now is,have to use custom java service and data provider adapter to get data from objects other than vsphere objects.

My requirement , my plugin inside vcenter should get data from my custom CIM provider which is installed on host as a VIB file and i want to display the data in html file.

Regards

hi Srinivas,

This is a question more suited for the vSphere Web Services SDK and ESX forums.  Please search those other communities for answers.

From a Web Client point of view you can use vSphere Web Services to connect to any object managed by vCenter.
