HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.10 Release Notes (5900-1767, September 2011)

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. 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, use the following command to check for the cimserver
process: ps -ef | grep cimserver. You will see the following processes: cimserver,
cimservermain, and cimserverd. The cimserverd process is a daemon process that monitors
cimserver to ensure it remains available.
WARNING! HP recommends 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 depend 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 WBEMServices
When there are providers in your environment that have a dependency on the file sets of HP WBEM
Services, then this command results in an error. In such cases, run the following command to remove
HP WBEM Services:
swremove -x enforce_dependencies=false WBEMServices

Defects fixed in A.02.09.10
This defect is fixed in the current release.
The WBEM configure script is modified
to ensure that when the swverify
command is executed with any options,
it does not change any file permissions
or affect CIM Server start up.
When the swverify(1M) command is
executed with the (-x fix=true) option,
CIM Server becomes unstable. Subsequent
CIM Server start up fails.
