Installation

This topic describes how to install the CIM server, how to migrate the CIM server to the current release, and how to fall back to a previous CIM server version.

• _ Use SMP/E to install z/OS CIM for the first time or to migrate z/OS CIM as a replacement of a previous z/OS CIM version. 

  For details on installing a product using SMP/E, see z/OS Program Directory.

  After successful installation, the components of z/OS CIM are located in the following hierarchical file system directory.

  Table 1. Default SMP/E installation directories for z/OS CIM

  Directory	Description
  /usr/lpp/wbem	Base hierarchical file system directory
  /usr/lpp/wbem/bin	CIM server executables
  /usr/lpp/wbem/lib	CIM server libraries
  /usr/lpp/wbem/install	Sample profile
  /usr/lpp/wbem/provider	CIM provider libraries provided with z/OS
  /usr/lpp/wbem/provider/schemas	IBM® z/OS instrumentation MOF files
  /usr/lpp/wbem/msg	CIM message files for NLS
  /usr/lpp/wbem/schemas	DMTF CIM schema files (MOF)
  /usr/lpp/wbem/repository	CIM schema master repository
  /usr/lpp/wbem/jclient	CIM client for Java
  /usr/lpp/wbem/IBM	SMP/E target library path

  The modules CFZENF09, CFZENF27, and CFZENF33 are located in system image SYS1.LPALIB. These modules are needed by the Common Event Adapter (CEA) for the life cycle indications defined for the storage management instrumentation.

  If you migrate to z/OS 2.1, the new master repository is located in /usr/lpp/wbem/repository. Previous versions of the repository are backed up as /var/wbem/repository/repository_old_<timestamp>, where <timestamp> is the current time.

• _ If you migrate the CIM server to a new z/OS release, it is recommended that you replace the environment variable file cimserver.env located in /etc/wbem with the new sample installed in directory: 
  • /usr/lpp/wbem

  If you do not intend to replace the environment variable file cimserver.env with the new sample, make sure that the following directories are included in the LIBPATH defined in cimserver.env:

  • /usr/lpp/wbem/lib:/usr/lpp/wbem/provider:/usr/lib
