NOTE: While re-installing HP WBEM Services, any existing repository in the
/var/opt/wbem/repository is moved to the /var/opt/wbem/prev_repository before
building a new repository.
HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09 upgrades the existing repository to CIM schema 2.17.1 by
recreating the schema extensions from the old repository (/var/opt/wbem/prev_repository)
into the new repository (/var/opt/wbem/repository) that has been initialized with the new
version of the schema.
Running the CIM Server
After installation, the HP WBEM Services CIM Server process (cimserver) is active. To restart it,
first stop CIM Server with the cimserver -s command. Use the cimserver command, with
no options to start the cimserver daemon on the system where the command is issued.
Once the CIM Server has been installed, the CIM Server automatically starts as part of the system
reboot process.
When starting the CIM Server using the cimserver command, the <configProperty=value>
syntax can be used to set configuration property values to be used by the CIM Server. The values
specified in the cimserver command apply only to the current CIM Server process that gets
started. The cimconfig command can also be used to set configuration property values to apply
each time the CIM Server is started.
To see if the CIM Server is running, use the following command to check for the cimserver
process: ps -ef | grep cimserver. You will see the following processes: cimserver,
cimservermain, and cimserverd. The cimserverd process is a daemon process that monitors
cimserver to ensure it remains available.
WARNING! HP recommends not to disable cimserver at startup. Doing so, will impact other
HP products such as; iCOD/iCAP, HP SIM, VSE, and System Fault Management, as these HP
solutions depend on HP WBEM Services (cimserver) to be running.
