How to Determine if the CIM Extension Is Running
You can determine if the CIM extension is running by entering the following command at the
command prompt:
# ./status
The CIM extension is running when the following message is displayed:
CIM Extension Running: Process ID: 93
where 93 is the process ID running the CIM extension.
Configuring CIM Extensions
Configuration information is stored in a configuration text file that is read by the CIM extension on
start-up. The file is named cim.extension.parameters and is located in the
[Installation_Directory]/conf directory on the host. This directory also contains a file
named cim.extension.parameters-sample. This file contains samples of available
parameters and can be copied into the cim.extension.parameters file and used as a
template.
Restricting the Users Who Can Discover the Host
The -users parameter provides greater security by restricting access. When you use the
management server to discover the host, provide a user name that was specified in the -users
parameter.
For example, assume you want to use the management server to discover a Tru64 host, but you do
not want to provide the password to the root account. You can provide the password to another
valid Tru64 user account that has fewer privileges, for example jsmythe. First, you would add the
user to the parameters file. You would then log on to the management server, access the Discovery
page, and provide the user name and password for jsmythe. Only the user name and password for
jsmythe can be used to discover the Tru64 host.
Follow these steps to add a user to the parameters file:
1. Go to the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory.
2. Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and enter the following line:
-users myname
where myname is a valid Tru64 user name.
