cimcli ei -n root/PG_Interop PG_ProviderModule
Step 3: Configure OpenPegasus on the Server

Table 13-3.
CIM server must be started before running cimconfig, and must be restarted
for configuration changes to take effect.
Enable Authentication
You must set the following OpenPegasus properties as described in this section.
Otherwise, the QLogic CIM Provider will not work properly. Ensure the following
are set before launching QCS and connecting to the provider.
Start CIM server if it is not already started. Then, set the following:
cimconfig -s enableAuthentication=true -p
cimconfig -s enableNamespaceAuthorization=false -p
cimconfig -s httpAuthType=Basic -p
cimconfig -s passwordFilePath=cimserver.passwd -p
cimconfig -s forceProviderProcesses=false -p
NOTE
For OpenPegasus compiled from source, PEGASUS_HOME must be defined
when you start CIM server. Otherwise, CIM server will not load the
repository properly. Consider setting PEGASUS_HOME in
