This command will list the version number of CIM Server that is running.
3. Verify the WBEM providers are running by typing the following command:
cimprovider -ls
This will list all of the registered CIM provider modules and their status.
If you are having problems adding a partition, run the following command from the meter or anywhere that
WBEM Services is installed:
osinfo -h <hostname> -s -u <login>
You will be prompted for a password. <hostname> is the name of the server, and <login> is the login
you entered into the Utility Meter GUI dialog. If this command fails, the problem is not on the meter. It is on
the partition that is being added.

5.4 Fixing a Disconnected Device (with Red Box)
A device that is not correctly configured in the Utility Meter appears in the Managed Devices Tree with
a red box next to the Command View (CV) server's IP address. See Disconnected Device for an example.
There are at least six situations that may cause a device to be incorrectly configured in the Utility Meter:
• The Utility Meter application was started and the Utility Meter GUI was used shortly thereafter to add
a storage device.
• A disk array was currently manipulated by some other application (for example, Command View or
SVP) while you attempted to use the Utility Meter GUI to configure storage.
• A value is incorrectly typed into the Add Device dialog box during the device's entry into the Utility
Meter.
• There is a connection problem with the EVA or XP Command View server.
• The SAN switch is powered down or unreachable.
• The SMI-S Agent is down, unreachable or misconfigured.
The following figure shows a disconnected device in the Managed Devices Tree.
