CIMSERVER NOT RUNNING

[SKR_1]

Hi All,

After rebooting my HP-UX server i am getting below error in syslog, please help me out why these errors are coming in syslog.

Jun 8 01:35:33 XYZ cimserverd[2503]: cimserver[1529] not running, attempting restart
Jun 8 01:35:38 XYZ cimserver[3057]: Listening on HTTPS port 5989.
Jun 8 01:35:38 XYZ cimserver[3057]: Listening on local connection socket.
Jun 8 01:35:38 XYZ cimserver[3057]: Started HP-UX WBEM Services version A.02.00.11.


Thanks in advance

How many cimservers do you have running? I.e. is there a particular one that aborts?
What does "ps -fp 3057" show? (If it hasn't aborted.)
What does "uname -a" show?

Hi Denis,

Have you given me correct command, i am not getting any output with ps -fp 3057.

And this is itanium box, OS b11.23 is running on it.

Only on this server, i am getting this cimserver not running error.

Thanks.

>Have you given me correct command, I am not getting any output with ps -fp 3057.

This indicates you have provided an old syslog entry, so PID 3057 isn't there. You probably have a line like:
...: cimserver[3057] not running, attempting restart

You need to do:
ps -ef | grep cimserver
and compare to your last entry like your above, in syslog.

Hi Denis,

This process ID is changing again and again, because it is attempting to start frequently.

root@XYZ[/root]# ps -fp 1434
UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME COMMAND
root@XYZ[/root]# ps -ef | grep cimserver
root 2503 1 0 Jun 8 ? 0:06 /opt/wbem/sbin/cimserverd

I was thinking only one type of cimserver may be restarting. I only see this tree:
root 1718 1 0 11:08:08 ? 0:05 /opt/wbem/lbin/cimserver
root 1719 1718 0 11:08:11 ? 0:00 /opt/wbem/sbin/cimservera

I don't know if you'll get more info with this:
UNIX95=1 ps -Hfu root -x | grep cimserver

You don't see anything logged for 3057 or 1529?
Or now 1718, 1719?

Hi Denis,

I just came to that we dont have any cimserver in our environment, i think somebody started the cim service on this box. So now can you please let me know how should i disable the cim service on my box.

Thanks

Thanks Denis.

Issue has been resolved. I have disabled the service.
