Storage Essentials 5.1 Installation Guide 195
Finding the Status of the CIM Extension
You can check the status of the CIM Extension by entering the following in the
sys$common:[opt.appqcime.tools] directory.
$ @status
The CIM Extension is running when the following message is displayed:
CIM Extension is running. Process id :001B0AEE
where 001B0AEE is the process ID running the CIM Extension.
Restricting the Users Who Can Discover the Host
You can restrict the user accounts that can discover the host when the CIM Extension is started.
$ @sys$common:[opt.appqcime.tools]start -users user_names
The @sys$common:[opt.appqcime.tools]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:
@sys$common:[opt.appqcime.tools]start -users myname
Where myname is a valid OpenVMS user name that must be used to discover this OpenVMS host.
For example, assume you want to use the management server to discover an OpenVMS host, but
you do not want to provide the password to the system.You can provide the password to another
valid OpenVMS user account that has less privileges, for example jsmythe.
You would log in to the OpenVMS host as system and start the CIM Extension by using the following
command:
@sys$common:[opt.appqcime.tools]start -users jsmythe
Where jsmythe is a valid OpenVMS user name.
You would then log in 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 OpenVMS host. This is because you used jsmythe in the start -users command.
Manually Starting the CIM Extension to
Specify Multiple Users in a
Colon-separated List
Another variation of the start command lets you provide multiple users in a colon-separated list, For
example:
@sys$common:[opt.appqcime.tools]start -users myname:jsmythe
One of the names listed (myname or jsmythe) must be used to discover the OpenVMS host. Other
user names and passwords, including “system” account will not work.
