Enabling and Disabling the CIM Server for HP 3PAR
By default, the CIM Server is disabled and must be manually enabled on each HP 3PAR array by an administrator before it can be used. For HP 3PAR, the CIM server runs on the HP 3PAR array. The CIM Server is not necessarily a Linux server. The user must have the Service role or Super role.
Enabling the CIM Server
To enable the CIM Server via the console on the HP 3PAR array, issue the startcim command:
# startcim
CIM server will start in about 90 seconds.
Disabling the CIM Server
To disable the CIM Server via the console on the HP 3PAR array, issue the stopcim command:
# stopcim –f
CIM server stopped successfully.
Without the -f option, you are prompted to confirm your intent to disable the CIM Server.
Displaying the CIM Server Status
To display the CIM Server status information via the console on the HP 3PAR array, issue the showcim command.
# showcim
-Service- -State- --SLP-- SLPPort -HTTP-- HTTPPort -HTTPS- HTTPSPort PGVer CIMVer
Enabled Active Enabled 427 Enabled 5988 Enabled 5989 2.9.1 3.1.1
The showcim command shows the overall status of the CIM Server; the status and ports used for the HTTP, HTTPS, and SLP; the version of the internal Pegasus CIM Object Manager; and the version of the CIM Server. Note that 3.1.1 is the supported version.
