A method and system for employing Common Information Model (CIM) resources within a data processing system. A request is received for an operation with respect to CIM resources, and a determination is made as to whether the request can be fulfilled locally or remotely. In response to a determination to fulfill the request locally, the request is delegated to local CIM object manager (CIMOM) functionality to obtain result data, e.g., from a local repository or from a locally managed provider. In response to a determination to fulfill the request remotely, the request is delegated to the one or more remote CIMOMs, and the result data is aggregated from a plurality of remote CIMOMs. The result data is then returned to the originator of the request.
