Taken from the OpenLMI Trac:

It would be advantageous to avoid running the CIMOM on a system unless it is actually engaged in communication with a client. We can do this by modifying tog-pegasus to support socket activation when used on a system running systemd as its init system.

The advantage here is that we would not be using memory or CPU time if there are no clients. It would make it easier to justify installing the CIMOM and making it available by default.
