HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.14 Release Notes (5900-2444, September 2012)

defect fixes and enhancements. For information on the defect fixes in this release, see Table 4 (page
17). The enhancement in this release is:
• Strong ciphers enabled in cimserver by adding new config property i.e. sslCipherSuite.
Following are the key differences between the HP WBEM Services Version A.02.07 and A.02.09:
• From this release, the CIM Repository (/var/opt/wbem/repository) is a database instead
of a file-based repository. This is done to increase the robustness of the CIM repository.
• wbemassist - A command-based troubleshooting utility to identify problems related to HP
WBEM Services on the managed nodes. This utility is used to troubleshoot configuration or
installation problems and to determine if the CIM Server is working correctly. This utility can
be used to conduct basic tests to determine if HP WBEM Services is configured correctly, and
runs as expected.
This utility is part of the WBEM-TOOLS fileset, and is located in the /opt/wbem/sbin directory.
• WBEM Assist enhancement:
This enhancement provides new feature to wbemassit to enable or disable tracing in wbem
services. The following commands can be used to enable or disable the tracing in cimserver
through wbemassist tool.
◦ wbemassist -te
◦ wbemassist -td
• The wbemassist tool supports an option —i to get the debugging and tracing information.
• Starting from HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.08 and later, support for Insight Remote
Support (IRS) for HP WBEM Services is enabled. With this enhancement, you can perform
WBEM operations using the non-root user privileges. For more information, see the HP
WBEM Services for HP-UX System Administrator Guide.
