Maintaining the Repository
HP WBEM Services keeps definitions of the data about managed objects
and their providers in its repository.
The repository files located in /var/opt/wbem/repository/ for HP-UX
and /var/cache/pegasus/repository/ for Linux are created as a
by-product of the HP WBEM Services installation. They should never be
deleted or moved.
Four namespaces install with HP WBEM Services. Others may be added
by clients and providers. The four that are automatically installed are:
• root: The root namespace exists to conforms to the DMTF
specifications.
• root/cimv2: The standard CIM schemas go here. Also, the schemas
for the bundled providers.
• root/PG_Interop: This is for provider registration. This space is
reserved exclusively for providers, and all providers must register
here. (See cimprovider man page.)
• root/PG_Internal: This space is reserved for use by HP WBEM
Services only.
It is important to schedule frequent backups of the repository directories
and files. If the repository is moved or lost or it becomes corrupted,
restore the files you backed up.
If you cannot restore the files, the init_repository script will restore
the files to the way they were when you first installed HP WBEM
Services. The three providers that installed with HP WBEM Services
will be intact. However, any managed objects, providers, or namespaces
that you added since you first installed HP WBEM Services will be gone.
You will need to re-register (perhaps reinstall) all the added providers.
To run the script, enter the following commands:
1. Shut down the CIM Server.
For HP-UX: cimserver -s
For Linux: /sbin/service pegasus-wbem stop
