Recommended Action
The following message is displayed if
SMI-S Provider is installed on a system
that previously did not have the SMI-S
Provider installed:
cimserver not started: Bind
failed: Failed to bind socket
on port 5989: Address already
in use (error code 125).
This issue occurs when there is a port
conflict. To resolve the conflict, remove
the application that is using the port or
select a different port.
To select a different port:
1
Stop the CIM server.
2
Set the new ports using the following
commands:
cimconfig -s httpPort=<HTTP
PORT> -p
cimconfig -s httpsPort=
<HTTPS PORT> -p
3
Start the CIM server.
CIMOM default port in use is not
reported in the Microsoft Windows
operating system.
In Windows, if the default ports 5988 and
5989 are already in use during the SMI-S
Provider installation, no message is
displayed to state that the ports are in use.
To resolve the conflict:
1
Edit the
cimserver_current.conf
and
cimserver_planned.conf
files.
2
Specify the open ports.
3
Start the CIM server.
Service Location Protocol Service Agents
(SLP SA) in multi-CIMOM
environments.
Only one SLP SA per individual server
can be active because SAs require the
fixed port 477.
NOTE:
If the operation started on a non-
standard port, dynamic SLP discovery of
the CIM service is not be possible.
