Troubleshooting Checking component installation and operation The output should be the same as in the previous test. If an error occurs, you should uninstall and then reinstall the WMI Mapper component. If an SSL certificate problem is suspected, try deleting the entire %PEGASUS_HOME% and %HP_SSL_SHARE% directories after uninstalling and before reinstalling. This deletes all of the installed certificates, causing the certificates to be re-generated during installation. Verify WMI nPartition Provider registration To check if the nPartition Provider is properly registered in WMI, open a command prompt and run the following commands: set CIM_NAMESPACE=root/cimv2/npar wmiop ecn The output should appear like this, indicating the nPartition Provider is properly registered in WMI: Classes in namespace [root/cimv2/npar]: __SystemClass __NAMESPACE __Provider __Win32Provider HP_DecoupledProvider __ProviderRegistration __ObjectProviderRegistration __InstanceProviderRegistration __ClassProviderRegistration __PropertyProviderRegistration __MethodProviderRegistration __EventProviderRegistration __EventConsumerProviderRegistration __CIMOMIdentification __IndicationRelated __Event __ExtrinsicEvent __SystemEvent __EventDroppedEvent __EventQueueOverflowEvent __ConsumerFailureEvent __NamespaceOperationEvent __NamespaceCreationEvent Chapter 6 143
