Starting the CIM Extension by chkconfig

After installation, appqcime chkconfig is on by default. This means the appqcime service starts automatically after the host is rebooted. The appqcime service must be running for the management server to obtain information about the host. You can disable the appqcime service so that it does not start automatically after a reboot.

NOTE: You can only disable appqcime from starting automatically after a reboot if you are at run level 2.

To check the appqcime chkconfig status, enter the following at the command prompt:

# chkconfig grep appqcime

If appqcime is capable of starting after a reboot, it is shown to be on, as displayed in the following output:

appqcime on

To disable appqcime from starting after a reboot, enter the following at the command prompt:

# chkconfig appcime off

If you have disabled the automatic start-up of appqcime, and you want to enable appqcime so it will start after a reboot, enter the following at the command prompt:

# chkconfig appqcime on
