Installing the CIM Extension for HP Tru64 UNIX204
Installing the CIM Extension on a Cluster
The installation of the CIM Extension on a cluster is similar to the installation of the CIM Extension
on a standalone node. However, on a cluster it is required to run the install script on only one node
of the cluster. By default the install script (tru64_local_install.sh) starts the CIM Extension
automatically on all nodes of the cluster after an installation. To install the CIM Extension on all
nodes of the cluster, repeat the steps found in ”Installing the CIM Extension” on page 203.
To install the CIM Extension on just the current node:
1. Go to the /cdrom/tru64/ directory, as shown in the following example:
# cd /cdrom/tru64/
2. Run the command ./tru64_local_install.sh –curnode at the command prompt:
#./tru64_local_install.sh –curnode
3. You must start the CIM Extension manually as described in ”Starting the CIM Extension
Manually” on page 204.
Starting the CIM Extension Manually
The management server can only obtain information from this host when the CIM Extension is
running.
Keep in mind the following:
• You must have root privileges to run the CIM Extension. The CIM Extension only provides the
information within the privileges of the user account that started the CIM Extension. Only root
has enough privileges to provide the information the management server needs. If you do not
start the CIM Extension with root privileges, the management server will display messages
resembling the following: Data is late or an error occurred.
• To configure UNIX CIM Extensions to run behind a firewall, see ”Configuring UNIX CIM
Extensions to Run Behind Firewalls” on page 309.
To start the CIM Extension, type the following in the /opt/APPQcime/tools directory, where /opt is
the directory into which you installed the CIM Extension:
# ./start
The following is displayed:
Starting CIM Extension for Tru64...
Keep in mind the following:
• 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
