HP Command View for Tape Libraries v.3.7 SMI-S Provider Installation Instructions (390736-009, December 2013)

NOTE: The order of installation is not relevant as long as both Command View EVA and Command
View TL are upgraded.
Starting and stopping the Command View TL Provider
You can manually start and stop the Command View TL Provider by starting or stopping the cimserver
service from the Services applet.
However, stopping the cimserver service causes all of the Pegasus CIMOM providers that are
installed to be stopped. It is not possible to stop a single provider without disturbing all of the other
installed providers. Restarting the cimserver service causes all SMI-S providers to be reinitialized.
To start or stop the cimserver service:
NOTE: Stopping the cimserver service causes all of the Pegasus CIMOM providers that are
installed to be stopped

3. Click Start or Stop.
