request encoded in XML according to the DMTF Specification for the
Representation of CIM in XML.
•Message: Invalid XML request
Correct the XML request, and re-issue the command. Refer to the
text following the message for more specific information about the

•Message: Timed out waiting for response
You can change the timeout value with a wbemexec command option.
The request may require more processing time than allowed by the
specified or default timeout period. Specify a timeout value longer
than the value previously specified or longer than the default.
Check syslog for possible errors or problems with the CIM Server or
providers. An error may have occurred in the CIM Server, preventing
the CIM Server from responding to requests. (A list of syslog
messages is in this chapter.)
If necessary, stop and re-start the CIM Server. Re-issue the wbemexec
command.
•Message: wbemexec: Failed to connect to CIM Server
First, read the text that follows this message, for more information
about the problem.
—Enter ps -ef|grep cimserver. If the cimserver process is not
running, you must start it. Do one of the following to start it:
HP-UX: cimserver (no options)
Linux: /sbin/service pegasus-wbem start
After this, the log file should record an attempt to start cimserver
and a confirmation that cimserver started.
