1.Go to the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory.
2.Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and enter the following line:
where 1234 is the new port for the CIM extension
3.Save the file.
4.Restart the CIM extension for your changes to take effect.
NOTE: The CIM extension looks for parameters in the cim.extension.parameters file whenever it starts, such as when it is started manually or when the host is rebooted.
Adding a New Port Number to Discovery
If you change the port number, you must include the new port number in your discovery. If you have not already done so, discover the host. See ”Discovering Applications, Backup Hosts and Hosts” on page 297 for more information, and then select Options > Protocol Settings > System Protocol Settings and select the host you discovered as a target. On the System Protocol Settings page, enter the port number for the host under the WBEM section.
Configuring the CIM Extension to Listen on a Specific Network Card
Follow these steps to configure the CIM extension to listen on a specific network card (NIC):
1.Go to the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory.
2.Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and enter the following line:
NOTE: If you want to configure the CIM extension to listen on multiple NICs, use a comma to separate multiple addresses.
3.Save the file.
4.Restart the CIM extension for your changes to take effect.
NOTE: The CIM extension looks for parameters in the cim.extension.parameters file whenever it starts, such as when it is started manually, or when the host is rebooted.
The
The CIM extension listens only on the NIC that has the IP address 192.168.2.2 on port 3456. The management server assumes the CIM extension is running on port 4673.
If you change the port number, you must make the management server aware of the new port number. See ”Adding a New Port Number to Discovery” on page 196.
