To install the CIM extension on just the current node:

1.Go to the /cdrom/tru64/ directory, as shown in the following example:

#cd /cdrom/tru64/

2.Run the following command at the command prompt:

#./tru64_local_install.sh –curnode

3.You must start the CIM extension manually as described in ”Starting the CIM Extension Manually” on page 264.

Verifying SNIA HBA API Support

The management server can only talk to host bus adapters (HBAs) that support the SNIA HBA API. The hbatest program lists the name and number for all HBAs that support the SNIA HBA API. In some instances hbatest may report it cannot find an HBA driver even though an HBA driver is installed. Try installing a different version of the HBA driver that is SNIA compliant.

IMPORTANT: The Emulex driver does not contain the required library that is required by HP Storage Essentials. You must install Emulex HBAnywhere software so that HP Storage Essentials can discover hosts configured with HBAnywhere and hbatest can detect the Emulex host bus adapter.

To run hbatest:

1.Verify that you have installed the CIM extension.

2.Go to the /opt/APPQcime/tools/hbatest directory on the host where you installed the CIM extension.

3.Enter the following at the command prompt:

./hbatest

The program runs its diagnostics.

Starting the CIM Extension Manually

The management server can only obtain information from this host when the CIM extension is running. When you start the CIM extension, you can restrict the user accounts that can discover the host. You can also change the port number the CIM extension uses. See ”Configuring CIM Extensions” on page 265 for more information. You can also access information about these topics by typing the following:

/start -help

Keep in mind the following:

•You must have root privileges to run the CIM extension. The CIM extension only provides the

information within the privileges of the user account that started the CIM extension. Only root has enough privileges to provide the information the management server needs. If you do not start the CIM extension with root privileges, the management server will display messages resembling the following: Data is late or an error occurred.

•To configure UNIX CIM extensions to run behind a firewall, see ”Configuring UNIX CIM Extensions to Run Behind Firewalls” on page 389.
