To start the CIM extension, enter the following in the /opt/APPQcime/tools directory, where /opt is the directory into which you installed the CIM extension:

# ./start

The following is displayed:

Starting CIM Extension for Tru64...

How to Determine if the CIM Extension Is Running

You can determine if the CIM extension is running by entering the following command at the command prompt:

# ./status

The CIM extension is running when the following message is displayed:

CIM Extension Running: Process ID: 93

where 93 is the process ID running the CIM extension.

Configuring CIM Extensions

Configuration information is stored in a configuration text file that is read by the CIM extension on start-up. The file is named cim.extension.parameters and is located in the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory on the host. This directory also contains a file named cim.extension.parameters-sample. This file contains samples of available parameters and can be copied into the cim.extension.parameters file and used as a template.

Restricting the Users Who Can Discover the Host

The -usersparameter provides greater security by restricting access. When you use the management server to discover the host, provide a user name that was specified in the -usersparameter.

For example, assume you want to use the management server to discover a Tru64 host, but you do not want to provide the password to the root account. You can provide the password to another valid Tru64 user account that has fewer privileges, for example jsmythe. First, you would add the user to the parameters file. You would then log on to the management server, access the Discovery page, and provide the user name and password for jsmythe. Only the user name and password for jsmythe can be used to discover the Tru64 host.

Follow these steps to add a user to the parameters file:

1.Go to the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory.

2.Open the cim.extension.parameters file in a text editor, and enter the following line:

-users myname

where myname is a valid Tru64 user name.
