HP WBEM Services Version A.02.07 Release Notes, March 2009

• 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.
• Indication Subscription Management (cimsub) - Provides a command line interface to
manage CIM indication subscriptions on the local CIM Server. Refer to the man page for
more information.
The new command would support enabling, disabling, or removing a subscription, display
of selected subscription information, as well as removal and display of filters and handlers.
• IPv6 Enablement - Provides support for IPv6.
