Auto-start CIM Server
Following significant updates are introduced in 5770-UME V1R4M0.
5770-UME V1R4M0 CIM server is configured as an auto-start service when doing scratch install of IBM i 7.2, which means the CIM server can be started without any manual setup, as long as licensed program 5770-UME V1R4M0 is successfully installed. Successfully installation of licensed program 5770-UME V1R4M0 indicates all pre-requirements are met, so CIM server can run correctly. As a result of this, 5770-UME V1R4M0 CIM server will be automatically started along with every system start, such as IPL.
For systems which do not have licensed program 5770-UME V1R4M0 pre-installed, no matter whether it has been removed or not, CIM server does not start automatically after installation or re-installation of licensed program 5770-UME V1R4M0. It can only be started by running command STRTCPSVR *CIMOM manually, or starts along with restarting of the IBM i system.
- From IBM Navigator for i, select Network > Servers > User-Defined Servers.
- Right click CIMOM, then select Properties (on the popup menu), enable/disable the auto-start feature by check/uncheck the item Start when TCP/IP is started.
