1. Go to the /Altix directory on the CIM Extensions CD-ROM by entering the following at the
command prompt:
# cd /cdrom/Altix
where /cdrom is the directory where you mounted the CD-ROM.
2. To install the software, do one of the following:
IMPORTANT: If you receive a message saying there is not enough room in the temp
directory to perform the installation, set the IATEMPDIR variable to another directory. The
installation uses this directory to extract the installation files. Refer to the documentation for
your operating system for information on how to set this variable.
• Interactive Installation (Without X Windows or telnet terminal session) - You
must type -i console; otherwise, you are shown a NoClassDefFoundError message. Enter the
following at the command prompt:
# ./InstallCIMExtensions.bin –i console
• Interactive Installation (With X Windows) - Enter the following at the command
prompt:
# ./InstallCIMExtensions.bin
• Silent Installation (X Windows not required) - Enter the following at the command
prompt. Then, go to Step 4. You cannot change the installation directory.
# ./InstallCIMExtensions.bin –i silent
The CIM Extension is automatically installed in the /opt/APPQcime directory.
3. During the installation you are asked for the installation directory. Choose the default installation
directory for best results.
4. Go to a directory other than one on the CD-ROM.
5. Unmount the CD-ROM by entering the following at the command prompt:
# umount /cdrom
where /cdrom is the name of the directory where you mounted the CD-ROM
6. Use chkconfig --list appqcime to verify the installation.
7. Start the CIM Extension. See ”Starting the CIM Extension” on page 167.
You must restart the CIM Extension after you have rebooted the server. This is because there is
no support for /etc/rc scripts, which the CIM Extension uses to start.
Starting the CIM Extension
The management server can only obtain information from this host when the CIM Extension is
running.
Keep in mind the following:
• You must have root privileges to run the CIM Extension. The CIM Extension only provides the
information within the privileges of the user account that started the CIM Extension. Only root
has enough privileges to provide the information the management server needs. If you do not
start the CIM Extension with root privileges, the management server will display messages
resembling the following: Data is late or an error occurred.
