On a Windows system, the SSL Certificate file is in the location specified by the %PEGASUS_HOME%\cimcerver_current.conf file; in this file the sslCertificateFilePath entry specifies the SSL Certificate file location. • client.pem - WBEM Trust Certificate Store file The Trust Certificate Store file resides on the system from which WBEM remote management commands are issued. On HP-UX B.11.23 systems, the Trust Certificate Store file is the /var/opt/wbem/client.pem file. On a Windows system system, the Trust Certificate Store file is the %HP_SSL_SHARE%\client.pem file, where %HP_SSL_SHARE% specifies the directory where the file resides. To remotely manage a server, the Trust Certificate Store file (client.pem) on the local system must contain a copy of the CERTIFICATE data from the SSL Certificate file (server.pem) on the remote server. The CERTIFICATE data includes all text starting with the "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----" line through the "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" line. By default the Trust Certificate Store file contains a copy of the CERTIFICATE data from the SSL Certificate data for the local system. nPartition Commands Support for Remote Management Using WBEM Two options supported by the Enhanced nPartition Commands result in remote management using WBEM. These options are: • -u username The -u option specifies a valid username on the remote nPartition. For the parstatus and fruled commands any user defined on the remote nPartition can be used, but the other commands require the username to be a user with superuser privileges on the remote nPartition. • -h hostname | IPaddress The -h option specifies either the hostname or IP address of the remote nPartition. When you use the -u... -h... set of options, the specified command sends the appropriate WBEM requests to the remote nPartition where the requests are handled by the nPartition Provider using /dev/ipmi to communicate with the service processor in the target complex. Partition Manager Support for Remote Management Using WBEM Partition Manager Version 2.0 supports remote management using WBEM in either of two ways. • Run Partition Manager Version 2.0 on an nPartition and then select the Switch Complexes task from the Tools menu. In the resulting dialog enter the hostname or IP address of the remote nPartition, and supply a username and that user's password. If you will use Partition Manager only to display information about the target complex, then you can specify any user defined on the remote nPartition. However, if you will use Partition Manager to make changes to the target complex then you must specify a user with superuser privileges on the remote nPartition. • Run Partition Manager Version 2.0 on a system that is not an nPartition, and Partition Manager will immediately display the Switch Complexes dialog.

On a Windows system, the SSL Certificate file is in the location specified by the
%PEGASUS_HOME%\cimcerver_current.conf
file; in this file the
sslCertificateFilePath
entry specifies the SSL Certificate file location.
•
client.pem — WBEM Trust Certificate Store file
The Trust Certificate Store file resides on
the system from which WBEM remote management commands are issued.
On HP-UX B.11.23 systems, the Trust Certificate Store file is the
/var/opt/wbem/client.pem
file.
On a Windows system system, the Trust Certificate Store file is the
%HP_SSL_SHARE%\client.pem
file, where
%HP_SSL_SHARE%
specifies the directory
where the file resides.
To remotely manage a server, the Trust Certificate Store file (
client.pem
) on the local system
must contain a copy of the
CERTIFICATE
data from the SSL Certificate file (
server.pem
) on
the remote server. The
CERTIFICATE
data includes all text starting with the "-----BEGIN
CERTIFICATE-----" line through the "-----END CERTIFICATE-----" line.
By default the Trust Certificate Store file contains a copy of the
CERTIFICATE
data from the SSL
Certificate data for the local system.
nPartition Commands Support for Remote Management Using WBEM
Two options supported by the Enhanced nPartition Commands result in remote management
using WBEM. These options are:
•
-u
username
The
-u
option specifies a valid username on the remote nPartition.
For the
parstatus
and
fruled
commands any user defined on the remote nPartition can
be used, but the other commands require the username to be a user with superuser privileges
on the remote nPartition.
•
-h
hostname
|
IPaddress
The
-h
option specifies either the hostname or IP address of the remote nPartition.
When you use the
-u... -h...
set of options, the specified command sends the appropriate
WBEM requests to the remote nPartition where the requests are handled by the nPartition
Provider using
/dev/ipmi
to communicate with the service processor in the target complex.
Partition Manager Support for Remote Management Using WBEM
Partition Manager Version 2.0 supports remote management using WBEM in either of two ways.
•
Run Partition Manager Version 2.0 on an nPartition and then select the
Switch Complexes
task from the
Tools
menu. In the resulting dialog enter the hostname or IP address of the
remote nPartition, and supply a username and that user's password.
If you will use Partition Manager only to display information about the target complex, then
you can specify any user defined on the remote nPartition.
However, if you will use Partition Manager to make changes to the target complex then you
must specify a user with superuser privileges on the remote nPartition.
•
Run Partition Manager Version 2.0 on a system that is not an nPartition, and Partition
Manager will immediately display the
Switch Complexes
dialog.
