Installing Ws-Man Or Cim-Xml On Linux Server; Step 1: Install Openpegasus - Broadcom NetXtreme BCM57 Series User Manual

NetXtreme User Guide
If the client uses:
• WMI = Windows Management Instrumentation.
• WS-MAN = Web Service-Management. WinRM is a Windows-based implementation and OpenPegasus is
an open-source implementation of the that operates on Linux.
• CIM-XML = An XML-based version of OpenPegasus.
If your network includes a mix of Windows and Linux clients accessing Windows and Linux servers, then WS-
MAN is a suitable choice. If Linux is the only OS installed on the servers, then CIM-XML is an option. If the
network includes only Windows servers and clients, WMI is an option. WMI is very simple to configure but is
supported only on the Windows OS. (See
instructions on installing and configuring the Windows protocols.)
BACS installation includes installing the provider component on the managed host and the client software on
the management station. The installation process differs based on the combination of operating systems
installed on the client and managed host and on the selected communication protocol.

Installing WS-MAN or CIM-XML on Linux Server

Step 1: Install OpenPegasus

On the Red Hat Linux OS, two installation options are available:
• From the Inbox RPM (Red Hat Only)
• From Source (Red Hat and SuSE)
On the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES11) OS, you must use the source RPM.
Note: The Inbox RPM does not support the WS-MAN communication protocol. To use WS-MAN, you
must install OpenPegasus from source.
From the Inbox RPM (Red Hat Only)
In Red Hat Linux, an Inbox OpenPegasus RPM is available as
1. Use the following command to install tog-pegasus:
rpm -ivh tog-openpegasus-<version>.<arch>.rpm
2. Use the following command to start Pegasus:
/etc/init.d/tog-pegasus start
Note: On SuSE Linux, the Inbox OpenPegasus RPM is not available. OpenPegasus must be installed
form source, as described in the following procedure.
Note that in inbox Pegasus, HTTP is not enabled by default. After Inbox OpenPegasus is installed successfully,
if no further configuration is required, then follow the instructions in
enable HTTP, see Enable
