HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 Installation Guide 241
• Depending on your terminal type and processor speed, the message CXWS x.x.x.x on
/192.168.1.5:4673 now accepting connections may not display all the network
interface IPs on the host. Use the /opt/APPQcime/tools/cxws.out file to view the output
from the CIM extension.
• When you start the CIM extension, you can restrict the user accounts that are allowed to
discover the host. You can also change the port number the CIM extension uses. See the
following topics for more information. You can also access information about these topics by
entering:
/start –help
Restricting the Users Who Can Discover the Host
The ./start -users command provides greater security by restricting access. When you use
the management server to discover the host (Discovery > Setup), provide a username that was
specified in the -users parameter in the start command, for example:
./start -users myname
The variable myname is a valid NonStop username that must be used to discover this NonStop
host. For example, assume you want to use the management server to discover a NonStop host, but
you do not want to provide the password to the superuser account. You can provide the password
to another valid NonStop user account that has fewer privileges, for example jsmythe. You
would log in to the NonStop host as superuser and start the CIM extension by using the following
command:
./start -users jsmythe
The variable jsmythe is a valid NonStop username.
Log in to the management server, access the Discovery page (Discovery > Setup), and click Add
Address. In the Add Address for Discovery page, provide the username and password for
jsmythe. Only the username and password for jsmythe can be used to discover the NonStop
host. This is because you used jsmythe in the ./start -users command.
Another variation of the start command lets you provide multiple users in a colon-separated list, for
example:
./start -users myname:jsmythe
One of the names listed (myname or jsmythe) must be used to discover the NonStop host
(Discovery > Setup) on the management server. Other usernames and passwords, including root,
will not work.
Changing the Port Number
The CIM extension uses port 4673 by default. If the port is already used, enter the./start
-port port_number command to change the port that the CIM extension will access.
