WBEM Services Release Notes (5900-1625, April 2011)

HP WBEM Services for HP-UX Version A.02.09 is based on the Open Pegasus 2.9 source base
and CIM Schema 2.17.1.
HP WBEM Services Version A.02.09.08 supports an enhancement for Insight Remote Support
(IRS) for HP WBEM Services. With this enhancement, you can perform WBEM operations using
non-root user privileges. For more information, see the HP WBEM Services for HP-UX System
Administrator Guide.
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.
• The wbemassist tool supports an option —i to get the debugging and tracing information.
