Start and stop the CIM server

The provider is now properly installed and ready to use. To use it, you have to start the CIM server. To start the CIM server, enter: cimserver To stop the CIM server, enter: cimserver -s

While the CIM server is running, requests against DFSMSrmm can be done by a CIM client (for example, wbemcli under Linux, or cimcli under z/OS).

Note: cimcli comes with Pegasus. wbemcli has to be installed externally. See wbemcli CIM command line client for Linux for instructions on how to install it and also some sample invocations of how to obtain data with the DFSMSrmm CIM Provider.
