Storage Essentials 5.00.01 Installation Guide 161
• 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
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 Tru64 user name that must be used to discover this Tru64 host.
For example, assume you want to use the management server to discover a Tru64 host, but you do
not want to provide the password to the root account. You can provide the password to another
valid Tru64 user account that has less privileges, for example jsmythe. You would log into the Tru64
host as root and start the CIM extension by using the following command:
./start -users jsmythe
where jsmythe is a valid Tru64 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 Tru64 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 Tru64 host. 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
