Enabling CIM/WBEM functions
When HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition has been installed as a new installation, the
CIM/WBEM functions are enabled. If you want to enable the CIM/WBEM functions again after
having disabled them, you need to specify environment settings as described below.
Operations to complete in advance
• Log in as a user with Administrator permissions (for Windows) or as a root user (for Linux)
• Register the storage system in Device Manager.
When registering a storage system that is to be managed, use the account of an administrator for
the entire storage system. Do not use the account of an administrator who only has permissions
for part of the storage system.
• Check port numbers.
Check whether any port numbers exist that are used by both the CIM/WBEM functions of Device
Manager and programs other than Device Manager. If such port numbers exist, change the port
number assignments so that the CIM/WBEM functions of Device Manager use unique port numbers.
• Set the language tag (when using the service discovery function)
When starting the CIM client, set the language tag (locale) for the service discovery function to
English (en).
To enable the CIM/WBEM functions:
1. On the Device Manager server, in the server.properties file, set the server.cim.support
property to true.
2. Restart the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition product services.
When an external storage system is connected to P9500, XP24000/XP20000 or
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200, if there is a large number of LDEVs managed by Device Manager,
it might take time for the services to start.
3. Refresh the storage systems registered in Device Manager server via the Device Manager GUI
or CLI.
CAUTION:
• If you delete a storage system while disabling CIM/WBEM functions, perform step 2 in the following
order to restart the services.
1. In the server.properties file, change the server.logicalview.initialsynchro
property to true.
2. Restart the HP XP7 Command View Advanced Edition product services.
3. In the server.properties file, change the server.logicalview.initialsynchro
property back to false.
• If you use CIM/WBEM to perform an operation for resources (such as LDEVs and parity groups)
that have been reserved by the setup operation from the Device Manager GUI, the setting might
be changed or the resources might be deleted.
