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

Installing the CIM Extension for SGI ProPack for Linux124
1. Before starting the CIM Extension, make sure PCP is enabled by executing the following
command:
ps -ef | grep pmcd
This should display a message resembling the following:
root 2699 1 0 14:42 ? 00:00:00 /usr/share/pcp/bin/pmcd
root 2831 1988 0 14:44 pts/1 00:00:00 grep pmcd
The first line above indicates that pmcd is running. If not, execute the following commands:
chkconfig pcp on
service pcp start
These commands start the pmcd daemon and also ensure the pmcd daemon starts whenever the
system reboots.
2. To start the CIM Extension, type the following at the command prompt:
# ./start
The following is displayed:
Starting CIM Extension for ALTIX
..........
The CIM Extension is ready to be contacted by the management server when it displays a
message resembling the following:
Thu Jan 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
Keep in mind the following:
• 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. You can also access information about these topics by typing the following:
./start -help
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 the 4673 port.
