CIM and OVO!?

[Tschibo]

Hi!
Currently, i'm trying to find a concept to integrate CIM into our infrastructure, which is mainly monitored by OVO.
What i know is, that OVO/W uses WMI internally for some submodules. And it seems to be possible to query the agent for WMI data.
But is something similar (using CIM) possible on the Unix agent?
Is there any OV module, that supports CIM in terms of providing a CIM interface, where i can query data?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx
Christoph

There's an OVO Smart Plug In (SPI) that integrates OVO with CIM; one of my customers is installing it at the moment - without my help :-( ah well... Mike

Is that a haiku?

Thanks Mike,
just to be sure, i'm not talking about the Compaq Insight Manager but about the Common Information Model.
For the Common Information model there is a SPI?
What is this SPI able to do, e.g. data export, data import?
Does the SPI work like a CIM Provider?
Thanx
Christoph

Oh, i forgot:
Do you have any links/docs about this SPI?
