HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.12 Release Notes (5900-2121, March 2012)

Following are the key differences between the HP WBEM Services Version A.02.07 and A.02.09:
From this release, the CIM Repository (/var/opt/wbem/repository) is a database instead
of a file-based repository. This is done to increase the robustness of the CIM repository.
wbemassist - A command-based troubleshooting utility to identify problems related to HP
WBEM Services on the managed nodes. This utility is used to troubleshoot configuration or
installation problems and to determine if the CIM Server is working correctly. This utility can
be used to conduct basic tests to determine if HP WBEM Services is configured correctly, and
runs as expected.
This utility is part of the WBEM-TOOLS fileset, and is located in the /opt/wbem/sbin directory.
The wbemassist tool supports an option i to get the debugging and tracing information.
Starting from HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.08 and later, support for Insight Remote
Support (IRS) for HP WBEM Services is enabled. With this enhancement, you can perform
WBEM operations using the non-root user privileges. For more information, see the HP
WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide.
