Verify WMI Mapper service with HTTPS connection This set of commands verifies that the WMI Mapper service is running and properly responding to client requests by secure HTTP. Note that running the nPartition commands with the -g option (to connect remotely to the Management Processor on the partitionable system) does not go through the WMI Mapper service, so this test does not apply for those cases. The following test uses HTTPS/SSL connections to the service, which assumes the default WMI Mapper configuration for HTTPS/SSL connections. See the installed file %PEGASUS_HOME%\ConfigREADME.txt for instructions on how to configure the service. Open a Command Prompt window and run the following commands: set CIM_HOST=localhost set CIM_USER= set CIM_PASSWORD= The current directory must be where the known_hosts.pem file resides (either the PEGASUS_HOME or the HP_SSL_SHARE directories) so enter the following command: cd %PEGASUS_HOME% Finally, run the wmiop command: wmiop ei Win32_ComputerSystem 142 Chapter 6

Troubleshooting
Checking component installation and operation

The output should be the same as in the previous test. If an error occurs, ensure that the
WMI Mapper service is started. If not, start it and repeat the test. If it is running, you
should uninstall and then reinstall the WMI Mapper component.
If you see the following error:
Cannot connect to localhost: 5988. Connection failed.
the most likely cause is that the server is not configured for HTTP connections.
As noted above, the default configuration is for HTTPS connections only. To configure
the service for HTTP connections, open the
%PEGASUS_HOME%\cimserver_planned.conf file and add/edit the following entry:
enableHttpConnection=true
Then restart (or stop, then start) the Pegasus WMI Mapper service from the
Services
control panel applet for the change to take effect.
Verify WMI Mapper service with HTTPS connection
This set of commands verifies that the WMI Mapper service is running and properly
responding to client requests by secure HTTP. Note that running the nPartition
commands with the
-g
option (to connect remotely to the Management Processor on the
partitionable system) does not go through the WMI Mapper service, so this test does not
apply for those cases.
The following test uses HTTPS/SSL connections to the service, which assumes the
default WMI Mapper configuration for HTTPS/SSL connections. See the installed file
%PEGASUS_HOME%\ConfigREADME.txt for instructions on how to configure the
service.
Open a Command Prompt window and run the following commands:
set CIM_HOST=localhost
set CIM_USER=<domain\username>
set CIM_PASSWORD=<password for user, above>
The current directory must be where the known_hosts.pem file resides (either the
PEGASUS_HOME or the HP_SSL_SHARE directories) so enter the following command:
cd %PEGASUS_HOME%
Finally, run the
wmiop
command:
wmiop ei Win32_ComputerSystem
