Problem with WBEM subscription for EVA SMI-S Provider

[Paul Kratz]

We installed the Command View for EVA (CV4EVA) and the SMI-S Provider on a ProLiant Server with W2k3 SP1. Then we went to Options - Protocol settings – Global Protocol settings - Default WBEM settings and add the User “administrator” with the password “administrator”.

CV4EVA works fine and SIM discovered the EVA6000 and shows there data and status.

Then we went to Options – Events – Subscribe to WBEM Events and run the task to the Server where the SMI-S Provider is installed. The subscription failed with the error message:

Create Subscriptions for:

dephbghhc1ms1ts

FAILED to create indication subscription.

No valid path to talk to CIMOM for

What’s wrong?

Hello,

I had this same issue on variosu Linux boxes and the fix was to open the TCP ports for WBEM. The port numbers are

5988 tcp wbem-http WBEM HTTP
5988 udp wbem-http WBEM HTTP
5989 tcp wbem-https WBEM HTTPS
5989 udp wbem-https WBEM HTTPS

Hello Donald,

thanks, but there is now firewall or other port blocking software involved in this communication.

Any other idea?
