Installation and Configuration Guide

Chapter 3: Configuring Devices

1. Make sure all partitions have version A.02.09.08 or later of WBEM installed. This is critical

because the following steps assume that the defect QXCR1001089629: "According to the

DMTF standards, the WBEM namespaces are not case sensitive, but the cimauth command

processes namespaces as case sensitive." has been fixed. Reference the HP WBEM

Services Version A.02.09.08 Release Notes, located here:

http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c02791433/c02791433.pdf.

For HP-UX 11i v3 partitions, it is strongly recommended that the latest version of the WBEM

Management Bundle for HP-UX 11i v3 be installed. It can be downloaded here:

https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=WBEMMgmtBundle.

This bundle includes the HP WBEM Services core product as well as WBEM providers which

are required by PPU. All of these software components have been tested together and have

been verified to be compatible with each other.

2. Add a non-root user account ("wbemuser" in the example). Make sure the password for this

user account is the same on all OS instances. Verify that you can login to this account with the

password on all systems.

3. Log on to each partition as root and run the following commands:

Note: All of the WBEM commands are located in /opt/wbem/sbin. If this directory is not in

your $PATH, you should add it.

# cimconfig -lc

The following parameters need to be set differently than the default:

sslClientVerificationMode=optional

enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=true

enableNamespaceAuthorization=true

b. To change the parameters, enter the following commands:

# cimconfig -s sslClientVerificationMode=optional -p

# cimconfig -s enableSubscriptionsForNonprivilegedUsers=true -p

# cimconfig -s enableNamespaceAuthorization=true -p

c. Restart the cimserver:

# cimserver -s

# cimserver

d. Add authorizations to the indicated namespaces for the non-root user account:

# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/cimv2 -R -W

# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/PG_InterOp -R -W

# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/PG_Internal-R -W

# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/cimv2/npar -R -W

# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/cimv2/vpar -R -W

# cimauth -a -u wbemuser -n root/cimv2/hpvm -R -W

e. Verify that the authorizations were added correctly:

# cimauth -l
