“Part of the normal operation of the HP Storage Essentials Common Information Model (CIM) Extension is to gather information from HP Data Protector for display in the HP Storage Essentials user interface and reports. The HP Storage Essentials CIM Extension performs this by periodically running a background collector responsible for gathering information from the HP Data Protector software. When the CIM Extension is installed and running on an HP Data Protector Cell Manager, the HP Storage Essentials CIM Extension can generate sufficient load on the HP Data Protector Cell Manager to slow down or disrupt HP Data Protector functionality if the Cell Manager processes a large number of backup sessions per day and the hardware on which the Cell Manager is running is minimally configured.” – HP Storage Essentials Common Information Model
