Verifying the CIM Agent Connection on Windows
During this task, the CIM agent software connects to the storage unit that you
identified in the configuration task.
If you are managing an ESS, perform the following steps to verify that the
configuration file for the ESS CLI (CLI.CFG) is set correctly and that you have
a connection. If you are not managing an ESS, skip to step 4 to verify that
you have a connection.
1. Verify that you have network connectivity to the ESS from the system
where the CIM agent is installed. To do this, perform the following
steps:
a. Open a command prompt window.
b. Issue a ping command to the ESS; for example:
ping 9.11.111.111
where 9.11.111.111 is the ESS IP address
c. Check that you can see reply statistics from the ESS IP
address. The following is example output:
Pinging 9.11.111.111 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 9.11.111.111: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255
Reply from 9.11.111.111: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255
Reply from 9.11.111.111: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255
Reply from 9.11.111.111: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=255
If you see other messages that indicate that the request has timed out, see
your Network Administrator for help on establishing network connectivity from
the system where the CIM agent is installed.
2. Verify that the ESS CLI is operational and can connect to the storage
unit. To do this, perform the following steps:
a. Open a command prompt window.
b. Issue the following command:
esscli -u essuser -p esspass -s 9.11.111.111 list server
