HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide (5900-1624, April 2011)

Four namespaces are installed with HP WBEM Services. Others can be added by clients and
providers. The four namespaces that are automatically installed are:
• root: The root namespace exists to conform to the DMTF specifications.
• root/cimv2: The standard CIM schemas go here. Also, the schemas for the bundled
providers.
• root/PG_Interop: This is for provider registration. This space is reserved exclusively for
providers, and all providers must register here. Fore more information, see the cimprovider
manpage.
• root/PG_Internal: This space is reserved for use by HP WBEM Services only.
You must schedule frequent backups of the repository. If the repository is moved or lost or corrupted,
you must restore the files you backed up. To take backups, HP recommends that you use the
cimrepoarchive command.
If you cannot restore the files, the init_repository script will restore the files to the way they
were when you first installed HP WBEM Services. The default providers that installed with HP
WBEM Services will be intact. However, any managed objects, providers, or namespaces that
you added since you first installed HP WBEM Services will be removed. You will need to re-register
(or re-install) all the added providers.
To run the init_repository script, enter the following commands:
1. Shut down the CIM Server.
cimserver -s
2. Move the repository directory.
mv /var/opt/wbem/repository
/var/opt/wbem/repository.bak
3. Start the CIM Server.
cimserver
4. Run the init_repository script.
/opt/wbem/sbin/init_repository
