There are few documents in folder  "pegasus/doc"  that you can  refer,
specifically  look into    Admin_Guide_Release.pdf

Hello  Van enkat
  I tried this by adding a  new line in drivers/etc/service file but I
don’t see any change in behavior.
Is there anything else required other than this change?
Please can you point me to any documentation around this.

Thanks in advance.
Veeresh

Veeresh,

The CIMServer administrative commands does not work if standard ports are
changed on Windows. On UNIX systems, these commands connects to CIMServer
through local domain socket and changing the port number is not a problem.
Since there is no way to specify port number to these commands, either
CIMServer should run on standard ports or etc\services file can be updated
with the non standard port number on Windows. Its weird that you are
observing the CIMServer crash instead of  error message saying  "The CIM
server may not be running". Provide stack trace or open a bug with details
to analyze the problem further.

Venkat

Hi
  On a windows setup I have cimserver configured to with non-standard port.
The service will crash as soon as I execute cimprovider –ls or cimconfig
–lc commands.
This does not happened if its configured to default ports like 5988 and
5989..
This is observed both in 2.10.0 and 2.11.0 versions.
Any clue ?

Thanks
Veeresh
