Installation Manual

Installing the CIM Extension for Sun Solaris276
valid Solaris 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 Solaris 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 Solaris user name.
NOTE: You can enter multiple users by separating them with a colon. For example
-users myname:jsymthe.
3. Save the file.
4. Restart the CIM extension for your changes to take effect.
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.
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]/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.
4. Restart the CIM extension for your changes to take effect.
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.
Adding a New Port Number to Discovery
If you change the port number, you must include the new port number in your discovery. If you
have not already done so, discover the host. See ”Discovering Applications, Backup Hosts and
Hosts” on page 297 for more information, and then select Options > Protocol Settings > System
Protocol Settings, and select the host you discovered as a target. On the System Protocol Settings
page, enter the port number for the host under the WBEM section.
