Storage Essentials 5.00.01 Installation Guide 125
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
• 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.
