What’s in This Version
HP WBEM Services for HP-UX version A.02.07 is a major update to the HP WBEM Services
A.02.05 currently released with HP-UX 11i v1, 11i v2 and 11i v3.
HP WBEM Services for HP-UX version A.02.07 is based on OpenPegasus 2.7 source base and
CIM Schema 2.13.1.
The following are key differentiators from HP WBEM Services A.02.05 to A.02.07:
• Audit Logging - Provides a mechanism from which auditors can use to track various
WBEM client operations and provider usages. The audits include access, activity, and
configuration changes on the selected CIM server for the WBEM client(s).
A dynamic configuration property, enableAuditLog, is used to enable or disable audit
logging at run time. By default, enableAuditLog is set to false. You will need to run
cimconfig to enable audit logging:
# cimconfig -s enableAuditLog=true -c
By default all the audit messages are written into the system log file
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log. Each system log file entry (e.g. in the syslog file) has a
well-defined tag (e.g. cimserver audit) to distinguish an entry made by audit logging.
NOTE Only those CIM "Write" events are logged, along with the timestamp.
Sensitive or private data and method parameters are not logged. The only
exception are "schema-related" parameters, such as class names and
qualifier names.
• Repository Archive (cimreparchive) - Provides a mechanism to create an archive copy
of the CIM Server repository without stopping the CIM Server. Refer to the man page for
more information.
The administrator can explicitly issue lock and unlock repository update commands,
while the repository archive is being created. Keeping the "lock" and "unlock" operations
within the same command ensures that the repository will not be accidentally left in a
locked state.
