CIM Server Properties
After HP WBEM Services is installed, you can configure these
properties, using the cimconfig command. You must have privileged
user (root) capabilities to modify properties.
It is good practice to regularly backup the two property configuration
files:
For HP-UX:
• /var/opt/wbem/cimserver_current.conf contains the current
values that are not defaulted.
• /var/opt/wbem/cimserver_planned.conf contains planned
values, not yet in effect and that are not defaulted.
For Linux:
• /etc/pegasus/cimserver_current.conf contains the current
values that are not defaulted.
• /etc/pegasus/cimserver_planned.conf contains planned values,
not yet in effect and that are not defaulted.
NOTE Do not edit configuration files directly! Use the cimconfig command to
change the property values in the files.
At startup, you can temporarily modify property values, by entering a
propertyname = value pair on the cimserver command line, However,
these modifications last only as long as that execution of the CIM Server.
At shutdown, you can temporarily modify just one property value,
shutdownTimeout, by entering a value on the cimserver shutdown
command line.
The timeout value can be changed dynamically. The others cannot. For
all the other properties, you must use the -p parameter to indicate your
change, then you must stop and restart CIM Server. The -p parameter is
explained in the cimconfig command summary below.
