Service Discovery and CIM Indications
This chapter explains how to discover the CIM server embedded within your library, and how to use CIM
indications to help you monitor the status of the library.
Setting up Authentication and Privacy
To use the CIM server embedded within your library, the CIM server must be enabled and your CIM clients
must connect to it using the appropriate credentials.
Enabling the CIM Server
The CIM server uses port 5988 for HTTP and port 5989 for HTTPS. To enable the CIM server in your library,
HTTP and/or HTTPS must be enabled. By default, HTTP port 5988 is enabled on the Scalar i500 and Scalar
i2000 library, while the HTTPS port 5989 can be selectively either enabled or disabled on both libraries.
Enabling HTTP or HTTPS also enables the Service Location Protocol (SLP) service. The SLP service is
also enabled by default. SLP is disabled if both HTTP and HTTPS are disabled.
If you disable the CIM server and need to enable it again in the future, refer to the library’s User’s Guide .
CIM Clients
CIM clients can connect to the library only by using the admin user and appropriate password on both the
Scalar i2000 library and the Scalar i500 library. The interop namespace is
root/cimv2
.
Both the Scalar i500 and Scalar i2000 libraries support Secure Socket Layer (SSL) 3.0 authentication. To
use SSL, however, you must have an SSL certificate key. The SSL certificate key for SMI-S clients is
provided in the
.pem file on the library’s Documentation CD . For more information about the SSL certificate
key, refer to the library’s User’s Guide .
Note
You can disable the CIM server by disabling HTTP and/or HTTPS.
On both the Scalar i2000 and the Scalar i500, you can disable both HTTP and
HTTPS (which also disables SLP). For more information about performing this
task, see library’s User’s Guide.
