Hi Armin,

So finally I have concluded to do below , if it happens again:
=============================================================
1) stop cimserver by using below command:

#cimserver -s

2) Kill old running cim processes as below:

#ps -ef | grep cim*

We will kill all running cim* processes:

kill -9


3) start the cim process by using below command:


#cimserver

==========================================================

Here I have one more query ,

I didn't find any entry related to "cimserverd" in "/etc/inittab", Let me know How can i proceed for this?


Thanks in Advance,

Regards,
Vijay Sabinkari.

I assume that when you used "cimserver -s" the entry was removed from inittab.

More info:
http://docs.hp.com/en/B8465-90017/ch05s03.html

Note: We are talking about belts and suspenders here. There is cimserverd that checks to see if cimserver is running. Then there is init(1m) that checks to see if cimserverd is running.

I tried "cimserver -s" and it did not remove the cim entry from inittab.
Mine looks like:
cim1:3456:respawn:/opt/wbem/lbin/cimserverd

My 2 cents,
Armin

Vijay,

You can copy the line in Armin's post verbatim and put it into your /etc/inittab without any modification. The order of the lines in this file should not make any difference, so you can put it anywhere in the file as long as it is on a new line by itself.

I wonder why this entry is not there... please run swverify \* and take care about any errors and/or unconfigured packages.
You can simply add the line I posted and issue an "init q" to ask init to re-read the inittab.

My 2 cents,
Armin
