The Celerra SMI-S Provider and ECOM (CIMOM) are installed by default when the base NAS software is installed in the directory/celerra/wbem on the control station. The Celerra SMI-S provider, both the CIMMON and the provider do not run by default on the control station for releases 6 and 7. This section will cover enabling ECOM and Celerra SMI-S provider on the control station.
Release 6 offers two different methods for enabling ECOM and the Celerra SMI-S provider. For Release 6, use only one of the following two methods for enabling ECOM and your SMI-S provider:
To permanently enable and manage the daemon that monitors all running processes, uncomment the following lines in the nas_mcd.cfg file by removing the # at the beginning of each line:
# daemon "cim server"
# executable "/celerra/wbem/bin/start_cim_server"
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nas stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nas start
Run the following script (not persisted after Control Station restart)
/celerra/wbem/start_cim_server to start ECOM
/celerra/wbem/stop_cim_server to stop ECOM
Execute the following script:
/celerra/wbem/start_cim_server
