NOTE Introduction Management interface options • WBEM SSL Certificate (cert.pem file) The WBEM SSL Certificate file resides on the system that is being managed and contains the local WBEM server's certificate. On a Windows system, the WBEM SSL Certificate file is in the location specified by the sslCertificateFilePath entry in the %PEGASUS_HOME%\cimserver_current.conf file, and is usually %SystemDrive%\hp\sslshare\cert.pem. • WBEM Trusted Certificate Store (known_hosts.pem file) The Trusted Certificate Store file resides on the system from which WBEM remote management commands are issued. On a Windows system, the WBEM Trusted Certificate Store file resides in the %SystemDrive%\hp\sslshare directory. • Partition Manager Trusted Certificate Store (parmgr.keystore file) The Partition Manager Certificate Store file resides on the system from which Partition Manager is run. It is used by Partition Manager to validate server certificates. On a Windows system, the Partition Manager Trusted Certificate Store file resides in the %SystemDrive%\hp\sslshare directory. In order for remote WBEM SSL connections to succeed, the WBEM SSL server certificate from the remote system you are connecting to (the WBEM server) must first be imported into the trusted certificate store(s) on the system where the remote WBEM commands are issued from (the client system). For a description of how to do this, see "Configuring for secure WBEM communications" on page 40. Managing nPartitions using WBEM Using WBEM, you can manage remote nPartitions indirectly, via an existing nPartition on the server. You cannot use WBEM to manage nPartitions remotely if none of the nPartitions on the target server have been booted or configured yet, or if the nPar Provider or MP device driver components have not been installed yet. To use WBEM, install the WMI Mapper and the nPartition commands software on your management station. After you install the tools, enable secure WBEM communications by referring to "Configuring for secure WBEM communications" on page 40. You can then use Partition Manager or the nPartition commands to manage your remote nPartitions. Running Partition Manager using WBEM You can run Partition Manager with WBEM in one of two ways: • If running Partition Manager on an nPartition: 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. To merely display information about the target complex, specify any user defined on the remote nPartition. To make changes to the target complex, specify a user with superuser privileges on the remote nPartition. Chapter 1 19

Introduction

•
WBEM SSL Certificate (cert.pem file)
The WBEM SSL Certificate file resides on the system that is being managed and
contains the local WBEM server’s certificate.
On a Windows system, the WBEM SSL Certificate file is in the location specified by
the
sslCertificateFilePath
entry in the
%PEGASUS_HOME%\cimserver_current.conf
file, and is usually
%SystemDrive%\hp\sslshare\cert.pem
.
•
WBEM Trusted Certificate Store (known_hosts.pem file)
The Trusted Certificate Store file resides on the system from which WBEM remote
management commands are issued. On a Windows system, the WBEM Trusted
Certificate Store file resides in the
%SystemDrive%\hp\sslshare
directory.
•
Partition Manager Trusted Certificate Store (parmgr.keystore file)
The Partition Manager Certificate Store file resides on the system from which
Partition Manager is run. It is used by Partition Manager to validate server
certificates. On a Windows system, the Partition Manager Trusted Certificate Store
file resides in the
%SystemDrive%\hp\sslshare
directory.
In order for remote WBEM SSL connections to succeed, the WBEM SSL server
certificate from the remote system you are connecting to (the WBEM server) must first
be imported into the trusted certificate store(s) on the system where the remote WBEM
commands are issued from (the client system). For a description of how to do this, see
“Configuring for secure WBEM communications” on page 40.
Managing nPartitions using WBEM
Using WBEM, you can manage remote nPartitions indirectly, via an existing nPartition
on the server.
NOTE
You
cannot
use WBEM to manage nPartitions remotely if none of the nPartitions on the
target server have been booted or configured yet, or if the nPar Provider or MP device
driver components have not been installed yet.
To use WBEM, install the WMI Mapper and the nPartition commands software on your
management station. After you install the tools, enable secure WBEM communications
by referring to “Configuring for secure WBEM communications” on page 40. You can
then use Partition Manager or the nPartition commands to manage your remote
nPartitions.
Running Partition Manager using WBEM
You can run Partition Manager with
WBEM in one of two ways:
•
If running Partition Manager on an nPartition:
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.
To merely display information about the target complex, specify any user defined on
the remote nPartition. To make changes to the target complex, specify a user with
superuser privileges on the remote nPartition.
