A Practical Approach to WBEM[s]CIM Management

Once all this compilation and loading is complete, the WBEM server, cimserver , is ready to be started. Type:

cimserver [ [ options ] [ configProperty=value, ... ] ]

where the options include:

• -v to display the CIM server version number

• -h to print a list of options

• -s to shut down the CIM server (you must be logged in as root to enter this command ” otherwise use the kill command)

• -D [home] to set Pegasus home directory (which is not needed if the environment variables given above are set)

• configProperty=value to set a CIM server configuration property (for a list of the keywords which may be used here, run cimconfig -l )
