Interface Description
WinRM tool sets a default response timeout of 60 seconds for all WSMan commands it sends
out. WinRM does not allow varying this timeout interval.
Using “winrm set winrm/cong @{MaxTimeoutms ="80000"}” does not change the timeout
due to a bug in the WinRM tool. Therefore, it is recommended that WinRM is not used for
commands that may take more than one minute to complete execution.
The use of libraries that create SOAP-XML packets is recommended since users can congure
the timeout duration using these libraries.
For client connection using Microsoft WinRM, the minimum required version is 2.0. For more
information, refer to the Microsoft article, <support.microsoft.com/kb/968929>.
NOTE: CMC default user name is root and the default password is calvin.
