The following error message is displayed if you attempt to install CIM extensions before they have been copied to the management server:

CIM Extensions directory: ..\Extensions is missing or incomplete

IMPORTANT: Do not install the CIM extension on the Management Server. A built-in CIM extension is automatically installed on the Management Server during the installation process. If you install a standard CIM extension on the management server, the management server will not operate correctly. You must uninstall the management server software and then re-install.

To copy the CIM extensions installation files onto a Microsoft Windows server:

1.Go to disk 1 of the CIM Extensions CD-ROMs.

2.Double-click CopyExtensionFiles.exe.

NOTE: Do not change the default directory if you are copying the CIM extensions to a Storage Essentials server. You can select any directory if you are copying the CIM extensions to an HP SIM server.

To copy the CIM extensions installation files onto a Linux management server:

1.Log in as root.

2.Mount disk 1 of the CIM Extensions CD-ROMs and change directory to where you mounted it.

3.Run ./CopyExtensionFiles.sh.

NOTE: Do not change the default directory if you are copying the CIM extensions to a Storage Essentials server. You can select any directory if you are copying the CIM extensions to an HP SIM server.

Creating Default Logins for Hosts

You can create a default CIM extension login for each type of host on which you intend to install CIM extensions (AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows). This eliminates the need to use the local OS user/password database for credential verification. The login username and password are known only to the CIM extensions and do not identify real users on the host systems.

To create default logins for hosts:

1.Create a text file named cxws.default.login with the following format:

-credentials <userid>:<password>

2.Place the cxws.default.login file in the following directory on the management server:

%JBOSS4_DIST%\Extensions\[Platform]

where [Platform] is the host type.
