Known problems and workarounds
Following known problems and workarounds are for this release.
Issue with enabling, disabling, and enumerating provider module
What is the problem?
While enabling, disabling, and enumerating instances, the provider module sometimes changes
to OK Stopping state. At this state, it is not possible to enable and disable the provider.
What is the workaround?
To recover from this state, run the following commands in the order listed, in the context of SFM
Provider module:
1. cimprovider –rm SFMProviderModule
2. cd /opt/sfm/schemas/mof/
3. cimmof -nroot/PG_InterOp SFMProvidersCommonR.mof
SFMProvidersHPOnlyR.mof
4. cimmof -nroot/PG_InterOp SFMProvidersHPOnlyIaR.mof
This is applicable only for IA. This mof will not exist if the machine is other than IA.
5. cimmof -nroot/PG_InterOp EvmCimProviderR.mof
This is applicable only for systems running HP-UX 11i v3.
Users and groups of HP WBEM Services conflict with users and groups of NIS, LDAP and other
network services
What is the problem?
During installation, HP WBEM Services creates a user cimsrvr and a group cimsrvr. If you
are using Network Information Services (NIS), Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol (LDAP) or any other network service for managing user and group accounts, there is
a possibility that the user ID (UID) and the group ID (GID) created for HP WBEM Services is already
in use by other users. The duplication of user and group IDs results in a change in file ownership
and can stop applications working correctly.
IMPORTANT: This issue is only applicable for HP WBEM Services A.02.07 and later versions.
What is the workaround?
For systems using LDAP or other network services, before installing HP WBEM Services, you must
manually add a local cimsrvr user and group using a unique UID and GID. You must first
determine the available reserved IDs for the group (for example 130) and for the user (for example,
