Troubleshooting the SMI-S Provider
Table 4-1 lists some of the common issues and their resolutions.
Table 4-1. Common Issues and Resolutions
Issue
The following message is displayed if
SMI-S Provider is installed on a system
that previously did not have the SMI-S
Provider installed:
cimserver not started: Bind
failed: Failed to bind socket
on port 5989: Address already
in use (error code 125).
CIMOM default port in use is not
reported in the Microsoft Windows
operating system.
Service Location Protocol Service Agents
(SLP SA) in multi-CIMOM
environments.
Recommended Action
This issue occurs when there is a port
conflict. To resolve the conflict, remove
the application that is using the port or
select a different port.
To select a different port:
Stop the CIM server.
1
Set the new ports using the following
2
commands:
cimconfig -s httpPort=<HTTP
PORT> -p
cimconfig -s httpsPort=
<HTTPS PORT> -p
Start the CIM server.
3
In Windows, if the default ports 5988 and
5989 are already in use during the SMI-S
Provider installation, no message is
displayed to state that the ports are in use.
To resolve the conflict:
Edit the cimserver_current.conf and
1
cimserver_planned.conf files.
Specify the open ports.
2
Start the CIM server.
3
Only one SLP SA per individual server
can be active because SAs require the
fixed port 477.
NOTE:
If the operation started on a non-
standard port, dynamic SLP discovery of
the CIM service is not be possible.
