HP StorageWorks Command View XP Advanced Edition Device Manager Server Installation and Configuration Guide (December 2005)

Appendix A Overview of CIM/WBEM 136
Just by specifying the type of service, SLP clients can obtain information (such as URLs) about
how to access the available services, and information about service attributes.
In Device Manager, the Device Manager server uses the SLP to report information about the
WBEM Service.
A-3 Preparations for Operating the CIM/WBEM Features
CIM/WBEM features are disabled by default in the Device Manager settings. To use the CIM/WBEM
features, you must specify the following settings after installation:
• Basic settings required to use the CIM/WBEM features
• Modifications to the port numbers used by the CIM/WBEM features
• Settings required to use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) in the CIM/WBEM features
For details on the settings, see
6-4 .
A-3-1 Basic Settings Required to Use the CIM/WBEM Features
To use the CIM/WBEM features, you must first enable them.
To enable the CIM/WBEM features:
1. Change the setting in the Device Manager server property file.
Change the setting of the server.cim.support property in the property file
server.properties from false to true. The server.properties file is stored in the
following location:
<Device-Manager-installation-folder>\HiCommandServer\config
NOTE: The default installation folder for Device Manager is as follows:
C:\Program Files\CVXPAE\DeviceManager
2. Stop any service that uses a port having a port number used by the CIM/WBEM service.
The table below shows the port used by each CIM/WEB feature.
Table A-2 Port Number Used by CIM/WBEM Features
Feature Port number used
Objection operation feature 5988 (default)
Service discovery feature 427
If any service program that uses the default port 5988 (usually another WBEM service) is
running, the objection operation feature will fail to start and an error message is output to the log
file upon startup of the Device Manager service.
If any service program that uses port 427 (usually another SLP daemon) is running, the SLP
daemon for Device Manager fails to start.
3. Set up the SLP daemon, and then start it.
To enable the service discovery feature, set up the SLP daemon. For details about how to set up
this feature, see section A-5.
4. Start the Device Manager service.
In the Services window, select HiCommandServer to restart the service.
NOTE: When upgrading Device Manager from version 1.0 to version 1.1, first check the httpsd.conf file.
If this file contains a description that enables SSL functionality in the CIM/WBEM features, remove the
description before performing the upgrade. The httpsd.conf file is stored in the following folder or
directory:
