Purpose

Use the cimconfig command to manage CIM server configuration properties. You can get, set, unset, or list these properties. See CIM server administration for more information.

You can use the cimconfig command to set the current or planned configuration properties of the CIM server.

Current configuration properties:

You can update the current configuration properties only while the CIM server is running. After a restart of the CIM server, these changes will be reset to the planned or default configuration values. For making permanent changes, you must change the planned configuration values.

Planned configuration properties:

Planned configuration properties can be modified even if the CIM server is stopped. If the planned configuration properties are changed when the CIM server is running, those changes do not take effect until the CIM server is restarted.

For using the cimconfig command, a user needs to have CONTROL access to profile CIMSERV in class WBEM.
