Configuring CIM Extensions

Configuration information is stored in a configureable text file that is read by the CIM extension at startup. The unconfigured file is named cim.extension.parameters-sampleand is located in the [Installation_Directory]/conf directory on the host. This file contains samples of available parameters that will modify the behavior of the CIM extension and can be used as a template.

To manage the CIM extension using the parameters file:

1.Open the cim.extension.parameters-samplefile and save a copy renamed as cim.extension.parameters to the same directory.

2.Edit the cim.extension.parameters file with the desired settings. See Table 22 on page 277.

3.Save and close the cim.extension.parameters file and then restart the service for the CIM extension by doing the following:

a.Enter the following to go to the tools directory:

-cd /<Installation Directory>/tools directory b. Enter the following to stop the service:

-./stop

c. Enter the following to start the service:

-./start

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 Solaris host, but you do not want to provide the password to the root account. You can provide the password to another
