HP WBEM Services is not installed appropriately on systems that use NIS • What is the problem? While installing HP WBEM Services, the configure phase creates the cimsrvr user and group in the passwd(4) and group(4) files. But when you upgrade to HP WBEM Services, as part of a custom bundle, on a system that has NIS configured, and the custom bundle requires a restart, the configure phase is run before the NIS services are up and running.
