Storage Essentials 5.00.01 Installation Guide 133
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 HP-UX user name that must be used to discover this HP-UX host.
For example, assume you want to use the management server to discover a HP-UX host, but you do
not want to provide the password to the root account. You can provide the password to another
valid HP-UX user account that has less privileges, for example jsmythe. You would log into the HP-UX
host as root and start the CIM extension by using the following command:
./start -users jsmythe
where jsmythe is a valid HP-UX user name.
You would then logon to the management server, access the Discovery page. Then, provide the user
name and password for jsmythe. Only the user name and password for jsmythe can be used to
discover the HP-UX host. This is because you used jsmythe 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:jsmythe
One of the names listed (myname or jsmythe) must be used to discover the HP-UX host
(Discovery > Setup on the management server). Other user names and passwords, including root
will not work.
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.
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.
