Pegasus command-line utilities

The open source Pegasus implementation includes a set of command line utilities that you can use to control or change the Pegasus environment.

The i5/OS™ version of Pegasus includes these commands, with several changes to support running Pegasus on i5/OS. During normal use, administrators should rarely need to use these commands.

The commands include:

• cimmofl
• cimconfig
• cimprovider
• ssltrustmgr

For the i5/OS implementation, the cimmofl, cimconfig, and cimprovider commands require *IOSYSCFG and *ALLOBJ special authorities. The ssltrustmgr command requires *SECADM and *ALLOBJ special authorities.

All of the command-line utilities need to run from a QSHELL command-line, which requires that the QSHELL product (SS1 opt. 30) be installed on the system. You can run these commands from /QIBM/UserData/OS400/CIM.

• cimmofl usage information
  Use this command to compile provider registrations and to compile CIM class descriptions (using the Managed Object Format [MOF] language) into the class schema stored in the repository.
• cimconfig usage information
  Configure the startup options for the CIMOM with the cimconfig command.
• cimprovider usage information
  Enable or disable a registered provider, primarily during testing with this command. The CIMOM must be running to use this command.
• ssltrustmgr usage information
  This command provides a command-line interface to manage X.509 certificates in a trust store or a Certificate Revocation List (CRL).
