Overview:
The Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is a new method of managing computers
in an enterprise. The main component of DMI is the Management Information
Format Database, or MIFD (the DMI Pool Data). This database contains all the
information about the computing system and its components.
At times, some systems may experience hang conditions after partitioning,
formatting and initial bootup of a hard drive. The message, "Verifying DMI
Pool Data" appears and the system hangs. This condition may continue after
the drive has been removed.
