Customizing the CIM server environment for third-party providers

• _ To enable the CIM server to locate the provider module, extend the CIM server's search list for provider directories by setting the providerDir configuration property, such as

  providerDir=/usr/lpp/wbem/lib:/usr/lpp/wbem/provider:/usr/lpp/myProd/provider

  More information: CIM server configuration

• _ To locate the provider dependent libraries, extend the library search path (LIBPATH) for the CIM server.
  • The default library search path for the CIM server is defined in the file /etc/wbem/cimserver.env for the started task CFZCIM. Add your installation directory to the LIBPATH, for example:

    LIBPATH=/usr/lpp/wbem/lib:/usr/lpp/wbem/provider:/usr/lib:
    /usr/lpp/myProd/provider

  • If you run the CIM server and tools from the UNIX System Services shell, extend the LIBPATH of the shell.
