HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide

1. Find the Process Identification Number (PID) of the cimserverd daemon.
ps -ef | grep cimserverd
2. Terminate the processes.
kill -9 <PID>
The cimserverd daemon is automatically re-spawned by init(1M) because it has an entry
in the /etc/initttab file.
NOTE: The cimserverd daemon automatically restarts the CIM Server when it fails on a system,
but not in cases where the CIM Server is manually halted.
Using the cimconfig command
The cimconfig command manages properties that are used to configure the CIM Server. The
configuration operations are executed on the CIM Server running on the local host. Use the
cimconfig command to view, set, or clear the CIM Server property values. Use the -l c (list
current) option to view all the properties and the current values.
An operation on a property using the cimconfig command with the -c (current) option takes
effect immediately. An operation on a property using the cimconfig with the -p (planned) option
takes affect only after the CIM Server is restarted with the cimserver command.
Dynamic properties can be set with either the current or planned property. Non-dynamic properties
must be set using the planned property. Modifications made with the cimconfig command remain
in effect until they are changed again with the cimconfig command. HP WBEM Services must
be up and running prior to using the cimconfig command.
You can temporarily modify property values when HP WBEM Services is down by entering options
as a propertyname=value pair at startup on the cimserver command line. However, these
modifications last only as long as the CIM Server is running. At shutdown, you can temporarily
modify just one property value, shutdownTimeout, by entering a value on the cimserver
shutdown command line. The timeout value can be changed dynamically. The value of other
properties cannot be changed dynamically. For all other properties, you must use the -p parameter
to indicate your change, after which you must stop and restart the CIM Server.
IMPORTANT: Do not edit the configuration files directly. Always use the cimconfig command
to change the values of the properties in the files. If you manually edit the configuration files, then
cimserver will not be able to identify the changes made to the properties.
Using the cimtrust command
Use the cimtrust command to list, add, or remove x509 certificates in a PEM format to or from
the trust-store. Ensure that the CIM Server is running, before using this command.
NOTE: This command only performs these actions on the trust-store of the local system.
TIP: To view the list of certificates in the trust-store of the local system, use the cimtrust command
with the -l option. You can filter the list of certificates based on the issuer, along with either the
serial number or the subject.
To add an x509 certificate of a specified type to the trust-store, use the cimtrust command with
the -a option. You also need to specify a username, using the certuser option, to be associated
with the certificate in the file. If no user is specified, then the certificate cannot be used to authenticate
a user.
To remove an x509 certificate from the trust-store, use the cimtrust command with the -r option.
This option removes the x509 certificates that matches the specific issuer and either the serial
number or subject from the trust store.
