Configuring CIM Extensions
Configuration information is stored in a configureable text file that is read by the CIM extension at
startup. The unconfigured file is named cim.extension.parameters-sample and is located
in the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory on the host. This file contains samples of
available parameters that will modify the behavior of the CIM extension and can be used as a
template.
To manage the CIM extension using the parameters file:
1. Open the cim.extension.parameters-sample file and save a copy renamed as
cim.extension.parameters to the same directory.
2. Edit the cim.extension.parameters file with the desired settings. See Table 22 on
page 277.
3. Save and close the cim.extension.parameters file and then restart the service for the
CIM extension by doing the following:
a. Enter the following to go to the tools directory:
- cd /<Installation Directory>/tools directory
b. Enter the following to stop the service:
- ./stop
c. Enter the following to start the service:
- ./start

not want to provide the password to the root account. You can provide the password to another
