Storage Essentials 5.00.01 Installation Guide 179
The CIM Extension is ready to be contacted by the management server when it displays a message
resembling the following:
Thu Sep 21 14:46:47 EDT xxxx
CXWS x.x.x.x on /192.168.1.5 now accepting connections
where
• xxxx is the year.
• x.x.x.x is the version of CIM Extension
• 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.
When you start the CIM Extension, you can restrict the user accounts that can discover the host. You
can also change the port number the CIM Extension uses. See the following topics for more
information.
Restricting the Users Who Can Discover the Host
The ./start -users user_name command provides greater security by restricting access.
When you use the management server to discover the host, provide a user name that was specified
in the -users parameter in the start command. The following is an example of the command:
./start -users myname
where myname is a valid Solaris user name that must be used to discover this Solaris host.
For example, assume you want to use the management server to discover a Solaris host, but you do
not want to provide the password to the root account. You can provide the password to another
valid Solaris user account that has less privileges, for example lesspriv. You would log into the
Solaris host as root and start the CIM extension by using the following command:
./start -users lesspriv
where lesspriv is a valid Solaris user name.
You would then logon to the management server, access the Discovery page. Then, provide the user
name and password for lesspriv. Only the user name and password for lesspriv can be used
to discover the Solaris host. This is because you used lesspriv in the ./start -users
command.
Another variation of the start command lets you provide multiple users in a colon-separated list,
for example:
./start -users myname:jsmith
One of the names listed (myname or jsmith) must be used to discover the Solaris host. Other user
names and passwords, including root will not work.
