How to Determine if the CIM Extension Is Running
You can determine if the CIM Extension is running by entering the following command at the
command prompt:
# ./status
The CIM Extension is running when the following message is displayed:
CIM Extension Running: Process ID: 93
where 93 is the process ID running the CIM Extension
Configuring CIM Extensions
Configuration information is stored in a configuration text file that is read by the CIM Extension on
start-up. The file is named cim.extension.parameters and is located in the
[Installation_Directory]/conf directory on the host. This directory also contains a file
named cim.extension.parameters-sample. This file contains samples of available
parameters and can be copied into the cim.extension.parameters file and used as a
template.
Changing the Port Number
The CIM Extension uses port 4673 by default. If the port is already used, follow these steps to
change the port the CIM Extension will access:
1. Go to the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory.
2. Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and provide the following line:
-port 1234
where 1234 is the new port for the CIM Extension
3. Save the file.
4. Restart the CIM Extension for your changes to take effect.
NOTE: The CIM Extension looks for parameters in the cim.extension.parameters file
whenever it starts, such as when it is started manually or when the host is rebooted.
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 65 or
”Adding a Single IP Address or DNS Name for Discovery” on page 66 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 >
