Rolling Over the Logs
The logging information for the CIM Extension is contained primarily in the cxws.log file, created by
default in the <Installation_directory> directory. The cxws.log file rolls over once it
becomes more than 100 MB. The information in cxws.log is moved to cxws.log.1. When the logs
roll over again, cxws.log.1 is renamed to cxws.log.2 and the information that is in cxws.log is
moved to cxws.log.1. The numbering for the files continues sequentially, for example, cxws.log.3,
with there being a maximum of three backup logs.
• cxws.log - contains the latest logging information
• cxws.log.1 - contains logging information that was previously in cxws.log
• cxws.log.2 - contains logging information that was previously in cxws.log.1
• cxws.log.3 - contains logging information that was previously in cxws.log.2
The wrapper.log file contains some logging information, such as the CIM Extension starting, which
is recorded in case something unexpected happens with the Java Virtual Machine. The CIM
Extension appends starting/stopping/unexptected error conditions to the existing wrapper.log file.
Configuring the CIM Extension to Listen on a
Specific Network Card
Follow these steps to configure the CIM Extension to listen on a specific network card (NIC):
1. Go to the [Installation_Directory]\conf directory.
2. Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and provide the following line:
-on 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.1
NOTE: If you want to configure the CIM Extension to listen on multiple NICs, use a comma
to separate multiple addresses.
3. Save the file.
4. Restart the CIM Extension for your changes to take effect.
-credentials
<username from the
management server>
:<password>
The credentials defined by this parameter must match the
values entered from the management server during discovery.
They are not used as authentication on the host itself.
-agentnic
<ip address>
Restricts the CIM Extension on multihomed systems to listen only
on the designated IP address.
-mgmtServerIP
<ip address>
Restricts the CIM Extension to listen only to a specific
management server IP address.
