Installation Manual

HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 Installation Guide 207
NOTE: The CIM extension looks for parameters in the cim.extension.parameters
file whenever it starts, such as when it is started manually, or when the host is rebooted.
The -on parameter may include a port specification. In that case, the CIM extension listens on the
indicated port of the indicated NIC, rather than the default port, for example:
-on
192.168.2.2:3456
The CIM extension listens only on the NIC that has the IP address 192.168.2.2 on port 3456.
The management server assumes the CIM extension is running on port 4673.
If you change the port number, you must make the management server aware of the new port
number. See ”Adding a New Port Number to Discovery” on page 206.
Additional Parameters
The following table describes additional parameters that can be specified in the
cim.extension.parameters file:
Table 14 Parameters for CIM Extensions
Parameter Description
-port <new port> The CIM extension uses port 4673 by default. Use this
command to change the port the CIM extension will access.
See ”Changing the Port Number” on page 206.
-on <ip address of NIC
card>
Use this command to configure the CIM extension to listen on
a specific network card (NIC). You can also specify the port
you used. See ”Configuring the CIM Extension to Listen on a
Specific Network Card” on page 206.
-user The user defined in this parameter must be a valid existing
user for the host. Only the user needs to be defined. The user
name and password are provided from the management
server during discovery. The user does not need to have root
authority. A colon-separated list can be used to specify
multiple users.
-credentials
<username from the
management server>
:<password>
The credentials defined by this parameter must match the
values entered from the management server during discovery.
They are not used as authentication on the host itself.
-mgmtServerIP
<ip address>
This parameter restricts the CIM extension to listen only to a
specific management server IP address.
