Solaris WBEM Developer's Guide

Upgrading the CIM Object Manager Repository

If you have upgraded to the Solaris 9 platform from a previous version of the Solaris software, you must update any proprietary custom Managed Object Format (MOF) data to the new repository format that is used in the Solaris 9 software. Any CIM and Solaris MOF data that you modified prior to the upgrade is destroyed by the upgrade. As a result, you will either need to recompile your MOF files or merge the WBEM data after you upgrade.

Caution – Caution –

Failure to recompile or merge the modified data results in data loss.

Use the following table to determine whether to recompile or merge the WBEM data after you upgrade to the Solaris 9 operating environment.

Table 2–1 Determining Whether to Recompile or Merge WBEM Data

Environment Before Upgrade 

Recompile Proprietary Managed Object Format (MOF) Files? 

 

Solaris 8 (Solaris WBEM Services 2.0)  

Solaris 8 6/00 (WBEM Services 2.0)  

Solaris 8 10/00 (WBEM Services 2.2)  

Yes 

 

Solaris 8 1/01 (WBEM Services 2.3) 

Solaris 8 4/01 (WBEM Services 2.4) 

Solaris 8 7/01 (WBEM Services 2.4) 

Solaris 8 10/01 (WBEM Services 2.4) 

Solaris 9 5/02 (WBEM Services 2.5) 

Solaris 9 9/02 (WBEM Services 2.5) 

Solaris 9 12/02 (WBEM Services 2.5) 

No. However, you need to merge the data into an upgraded repository. 

 

How to Recompile Your MOF Files

  1. Upgrade your system to the Solaris 9 operating environment.

  2. Become superuser.

  3. Change directory to the location of your proprietary MOF files.

  4. Use the mofcomp command to compile each of your proprietary MOF files.


    # /usr/sadm/bin/mofcomp root root-passwd MOF-filename

    Note –

    For more information on the MOF compiler, see mofcomp(1M).

  5. Stop the CIM Object Manager.


    # /etc/init.d/init.wbem stop

  6. Start the CIM Object Manager.


    # /etc/init.d/init.wbem start

    The CIMOM adds repository files that contain the converted data to the directory /var/sadm/wbem/logr/. This directory was created when you upgraded your system to the Solaris 9 operating environment.

How to Merge WBEM Data

  1. Upgrade your system to the Solaris 9 operating environment.

  2. Become superuser.

  3. Stop the CIM Object Manager.


    # /etc/init.d/init.wbem stop

    Caution – Caution –

    Failure to stop the CIM Object Manager before you run wbemconfig convert might corrupt your data.

  4. Merge the original data in the previous Reliable Log with the data in the Solaris 9 Reliable Log.


    # /usr/sadm/lib/wbem/wbemconfig convert

    Note –

    The wbemconfig convert command successfully converts any proprietary custom MOF data, but not any CIM or Solaris MOF data that you have modified. CIM and Solaris MOF data that you have modified is destroyed. To recompile any modified CIM or Solaris MOF data in the new repository, use the mofcomp command to compile the MOF files that contain the class definitions.
