• 192.168.1.5 is the IP address of the host
NOTE: Depending on your terminal type and processor speed, the message, “CXWS x.x.x.x
on /192.168.1.5 now accepting connections,” may not display all the network interface
IPs on the host. Use the
/opt/APPQcime/tools/cxws.out file to view the output from the CIM Extension.
Changing the Port Number
The CIM Extension uses port 4673 by default. If the port is already used, use the
./start -port port_number command to change the port the CIM Extension will access. For
example, if you are running a J2EE server, such as BEA WebLogic or IBM WebSphere, the J2EE
server might already be using port 4673.
IMPORTANT: The steps provided in the section provide information about temporarily changing the
port of the CIM Extension. If you want to permanently change the port the CIM Extension uses, see
”Permanently Changing the Port a CIM Extension Uses (UNIX Only)” on page 249.
To change the port, enter the following:
./start -port 1234
where 1234 is the port the CIM Extension will listen on for all available network cards
You can tell the port is in use by entering the following at the command prompt:
netstat -a | grep 1234
The management server assumes the CIM Extension is running on port 4673.
Discovery from HP SIM
If you change the port number, you must include the new port number in your discovery. If you have
not already done so, discover the host. See ”Adding an IP Range for Scanning” on page 37 or
”Adding a Single IP Address or DNS Name for Discovery” on page 38 for more information. Then,
select Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings and select the host you
discovered as a target. On the System Protocol Settings page, provide the port number for the host
under the WBEM section.
Discovery from HP SE
If you change the port number, you must make the management server aware of the new port
number in the Add Address for Discovery page (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home >
Discovery > Setup > Add Address). In the IP Address/DNS Name field, type a colon and then
the port number after the IP address or DNS name, as shown in the following example:
192.168.1.2:1234
where
• 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of the host
