Starting the CIM Extension Manually
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.
• To configure UNIX CIM Extensions to run behind a firewall, see ”Configuring UNIX CIM
Extensions to Run Behind Firewalls” on page 309.
To start the CIM Extension, type the following in the /opt/APPQcime/tools directory, where
/opt is the directory into which you installed the CIM Extension:
# ./start
