cimserver not starting

[paabhi]

Hi All,

We have builded BL 860c servers with hp-ux 11.31.we have done user migration from our old server which is running with hp-ux 11.11.
We have restored /home ,/etc/passwd & /etc/group from the old server to new server.Since the user cimserver was not present in old server, we have added the entry in /etc/passwd & /etc/group on new server.Since there was a clash in UID of cimsrvr with one of the old application user, I have changed the UID &GID of cimsrvr to 111 .

Also changed the permissions of files "/var/opt/wbem " with cimsrvr and now we are facing issues with starting of cimsrvr

Please any one help me

What errors are you getting when you try to start it? Any helpful messages in syslog?

Were you ever able to start it with original UID or did the original conflict prevent that?

Due to known bugs in earlier releases of I just updated my diagprodcollection, wbem, sysmgmt base, etc this morning on one of my 11.31 machines.
Does your /var/opt/wbem directory look like:

also any errors in either syslog or /var/opt/wbem/install.log? What version of wbem are you using? Lastly what exact error are you getting when running cimserver command?
