2. Type the following command to start the CIM Extension.
$ @sys$common:[opt.appqcime.tools]start
The following message displays:
STARTING OpenVMS CIME...
Finding the Status of the CIM Extension
You can check the status of the CIM Extension by entering the following in the
sys$common:[opt.appqcime.tools] directory.
$ @status
The CIM Extension is running when the following message is displayed:
CIM Extension is running. Process id :001B0AEE
where 001B0AEE is the process ID running the CIM Extension.
Configuring CIM Extensions
Configuration information is stored in a configuration text file that is read by the CIM Extension on
start-up. The file is named cim.extension.parameters and is located in the
[Installation_Directory]/conf directory on the host. This directory also contains a file
named cim.extension.parameters-sample. This file contains samples of available
parameters and can be copied into the cim.extension.parameters file and used as a
template.
Restricting the Users Who Can Discover the Host
The -users parameter provides greater security by restricting access. When you use the
management server to discover the host, provide a user name that was specified in the -users
parameter.
For example, assume you want to use the management server to discover a OpenVMS host, but
you do not want to provide the password to the root account. You can provide the password to
another valid OpenVMS user account that has less privileges, for example jsmythe. First, you
would add the user to the parameters file. You would then logon to the management server, access
the Discovery page, and provide the user name and password for jsmythe. Only the user name
and password for jsmythe can be used to discover the OpenVMS host.
Follow these steps to add a user to the parameters file:
1. Go to the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory.
2. Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and provide the following line:
-users myname
where myname is a valid OpenVMS user name.
NOTE: You can provide multiple users by separating them with a colon. For example
-users myname:jsymthe.
3. Save the file.
