HP Storage Essentials V5.00.01 installation guide (T4283-96011, January 2006)

Installing the CIM Extension for IBM AIX116
• 1234 is the new port number
If you have already added the host to the discovery list (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home >
Discovery > Setup) on the management server, you must remove it and then re-add it. You cannot
have more than one listing of the host with different ports.
Specifying the CIM Extension to Listen on a
Specific Network Card
You can specify the CIM Extension to listen on only on a specific network interface card (NIC) by
using the “-on” command line option in the start command, for example:
./start -on 192.168.2.2
The CIM Extension listens only on the NIC that has the IP address 192.168.99.37.
The “-on” command line option may be repeated as often as desired to direct the CIM Extension to
listen on multiple NICs, for example:
./start -on 192.168.2.2 -on 192.168.1.1
The CIM Extension listens only on the NICs that have the IP address 192.168.2.2 or 192.168.1.1.
The “-on” command line option may include a port specification. In that case, the CIM Extension
listens on the indicated port of the indicated NIC, rather than the default port, for example:
./start -on 192.168.2.2:3456
The CIM Extension listens only on the NIC that has the IP address 192.168.2.2 on port 3456.
The “-port” command line option may be used in conjunction with the “-on” option. Any “-on”
arguments that do not specify an explicit port number use the “-port” option argument as the port
number, for example:
./start -on 192.168.1.1:3456 -on 192.168.2.2 -port 1170
This command tells the CIM Extension to listen on the following ports:
• Port 3456 on the NIC with the IP address 192.168.1.1
• Port 1170 on the NIC with the IP address 192.168.2.2
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 >
