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 SYS$SPECIFIC:[OPT.APPQCIME.CONF] by entering the following command:

SET DEFAULT SYS$SPECIFIC:[OPT.APPQCIME.CONF]

2.Open the CIMEXTENSION.PARAMETERS file in a text editor, and enter the following line:

-on 127.0.0.1,192.168.0.1

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 CIMEXTENSION.PARAMETERS file whenever it is started manually or when the host is rebooted.

The -on parameter may include a port specification. In that case, the CIM extension listens on the indicated port of the indicated NIC, rather than the default port, for example:

-on192.168.2.2:3456

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 Port Number to Discovery” on page 254.
