HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Configure Wbem Services for OpenVMS Optional

NOTE: Do not attempt to explicitly remove SSL from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for SSL although there appears to be an option to remove SSL. SSL is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Attempts to remove it might not work as expected and can create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:

%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP I64VMS SSL V1.3 is referenced by HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.3-1H1

The two products listed above are tightly bound by a software dependency. If you override the recommendation to terminate the operation, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing product will have an unsatisfied software dependency and may no longer function correctly. Please review the referencing product’s documentation on requirements.

Answer YES to the following question to terminate the PRODUCT command. However, if you are sure you want to remove the referenced product then answer NO to continue the operation.

Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

7.8.5 Configure WBEM Services for OpenVMS (Optional)

WBEM Services for OpenVMS is installed automatically with OpenVMS. As with other similar products, an OpenVMS upgrade does not automatically include WBEM Services for OpenVMS if it is not already installed on the target system disk. In this case, you must install the product separately using the PCSI PRODUCT INSTALL command. If you do not plan to use WBEM Services for OpenVMS or any products that depend on it, simply do not configure the software; if you have already configured the software, you can choose not to start it.

You must configure WBEM Services for OpenVMS to obtain the services provided by HP SIM (Version 5.2 or later) and products such as Instant Capacity, Pay per use, and gWLM. To provide services over the network, HP recommends using TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS and SSL (for security purposes).

Before configuring WBEM Services for OpenVMS, configure TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. (For information about configuring TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, see Section 7.7.5 (page 122).

To configure WBEM Services for OpenVMS on a system on which WBEM Services for OpenVMS has never been installed and configured, follow the steps described in “Section 7.8.5.1.” If you are configuring the product on a system on which it has been configured previously, see Section 7.8.5.2 (page 129).
