Installation Manual

HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 Installation Guide 285
NOTE: You do not need to upgrade the CIM extensions all at once. Keep in mind,
however, that CIM extensions from earlier versions do not return all information; for
example they don't return FSRM data. It is strongly recommended you upgrade your CIM
extensions on Windows as soon as possible.
3. Perform a discovery in HP SIM (Options > Discovery) for a re-discovery of the upgraded hosts.
See ”Discovering Applications, Backup Hosts and Hosts” on page 297 for more information
about discovering hosts.
4. Run Discovery Data Collection in HP SIM (Options > Storage Essentials > Discovery > Run
Discovery Data Collection).
5. Refresh reports to update report data.
Configuring CIM Extensions
Configuration information is stored in a configureable text file that is read by the CIM extension at
start-up. The unconfigured file is named cim.extension.parameters-sample and is located
in the [Installation_Directory]\CimExtensions\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, do the following:
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 23 on
page 288.
3. Save and close the cim.extension.parameters file and then stop and restart the CIM
service by rebooting the host or restarting the AppStorWin32Agent service from the Services
window.

Changing the Port Number
The CIM extension uses port 4673 by default. If this port is already in use, follow these steps to
change the port the CIM extension will access:
1. Go to the [Installation_Directory]\CimExtensions\conf directory.
2. Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and enter the following line:
-port 1234
where 1234 is the new port for the CIM extension.
3. Save the file.
