3. Save the file.
4. Restart the CIM Extension for your changes to take effect.
NOTE: The CIM Extension looks for parameters in the cim.extension.parameters file
whenever it starts, such as when it is started manually or when the host is rebooted.
Discovery from HP SIM
If you change the port number, you must include the new port number in your discovery. If you have
not already done so, discover the host. See ”Adding an IP Range for Scanning” on page 65 or
”Adding a Single IP Address or DNS Name for Discovery” on page 66 for more information. Then,
select Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings and select the host you
discovered as a target. On the System Protocol Settings page, provide the port number for the host
under the WBEM section.
Discovery from HP SE
If you change the port number, you must make the management server aware of the new port
number in the Add Address for Discovery page (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home >
Discovery > Setup > Add Address). In the IP Address/DNS Name field, type a colon and then
the port number after the IP address or DNS name, as shown in the following example:
192.168.1.2:1234
where
• 192.168.1.2 is the IP address of the host
• 1234 is the new port number
If you have already added the host to the discovery list (Tools > Storage Essentials > Home >
Discovery > Setup) on the management server, you must remove it and then re-add it. You cannot
have more than one listing of the host with different ports.
