By default, the CIM extension uses port 4673 to communicate with the management server. Verify the network port is open. If you need to use a different port, see ”Changing the Port Number” on page 254.

Installing the CIM Extension

This section covers the following CIM extension installations for OpenVMS:

•”Installing the CIM Extension on a Standalone Host” on page 251

•”Installing the CIM Extension on a Cluster” on page 252

Installing the CIM Extension on a Standalone Host

Keep in mind the following:

•The CIM extension on OpenVMS needs to be installed locally on each of the required hosts.

•You must be logged in using the “SYSTEM” account on each host to install the CIM extension for OpenVMS.

Follow these steps:

1.Log in as system.

2.Verify that the required ECOs and patches are installed; enter the following at the system prompt:

$ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUT/FULL

See ”Prerequisites” on page 250 if needed.

3.The management server is only compatible with host bus adapters (HBAs) that support the SNIA HBA API. The SNIA HBA API support for OpenVMS (Alpha) 7.3-2 and 8.2 and OpenVMS IA64 8.2-1 is part o the following FIBRE_SCSI ECO kits:

•OpenVMS Alpha 7.3-2 - DEC-AXPVMS-VMS732_FIBRE_SCSI-V0900 or later

•OpenVMS Alpha 8.2 - DEC-AXPVMS-VMS82A_FIBRE_SCSI-V0900 or later

•OpenVMS IA64 8.2-1 - HP-I64VMS-VMS8211_FIBRE_SCSI-V0200 or later for OpenVMS (IA64) 8.2-1.

NOTE: The SNIA HBA API library is shipped along with the operating system for OpenVMS Alpha 8.3 and OpenVMS IA64 8.3.

To verify the HBA supports the SNIA HBA API, check the OpenVMS host for the following files in the path specified:

$ DIRECTORY SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]HBA_VMS.EXE

$ DIRECTORY SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]HBA.CONF

4.Verify that the PIPE driver is installed by running the following command:

$ MCR SYSMAN IO SHOW DEVICE
