HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09 Release Notes, First Edition, September 2009
NOTE: While re-installing HP WBEM Services, any existing repository in
/var/opt/wbem/repository is moved to/var/opt/wbem/prev_repository before
building a new repository.
HP WBEM Services version A.02.09 upgrades the existing repository to CIM schema 2.17.1 by
recreating the schema extensions from the old repository (/var/opt/wbem/prev_repository)
into the new repository (/var/opt/wbem/repository) that has been initialized with the new
version of the schema.
Running the HP WBEM Services CIM Server
After installation, the HP WBEM Services CIM Server process (cimserver) is active. To restart it,
first stop cimserver with the cimserver -s command. Use the cimserver command, with no
options to start the cimserver daemon on the system where the command is issued.
Once the CIM Server has been installed, the CIM Server will be automatically started as part of
the system reboot process.
When starting the CIM Server using the cimserver command, the <configProperty=value>
syntax can be used to set configuration property values to be used by the CIM Server. It is
important to note that the values specified in the cimserver command apply only to the current
CIM Server process that gets started. The cimconfig command can also be used to set
configuration property values to apply each time the CIM Server is started.
To see if the CIM Server is running, issue the following command to check for the cimserver
process: ps -ef | grep cimserver. You should see the following processes: cimserver,
cimservermain, and cimserverd (cimserverd is a daemon process that monitors cimserver
to ensure it remains available).
WARNING! It is recommended not to disable cimserver at startup. Doing so, will impact other
HP products such as; iCOD/iCAP, HP SIM, VSE, and System Fault Management, as these HP
solutions rely on HP WBEM Services (cimserver) to be running.
Removing HP WBEM Services
Before removing the software, back up any files that you want to retain, such as the repository,
log files, configuration files, and certificate files. If these files are removed or overwritten during
the re-installation, you cannot restore them.
To remove HP WBEM Services, run the following HP-UX command:
# swremove WBEMSvcs
When there are providers in your environment that have a dependency on the file sets of HP
WBEM Services, then this command may result in an error. In such cases, run the following
command to remove HP WBEM Services:
swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false WBEMSvcs
