Function What it does Command Target (see paths in Command targets)
Display CIM subscription destination Displays destinations for the CIM subscriptions used by the Lenovo XClarity Administrator or Flex System Manager software. cimsub
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Display CIM subscription status Displays detailed information about all CIM subscriptions used by the Lenovo XClarity Administrator or Flex System Manager software. cimsub -v
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.
Clear CIM subscription Clears one or all of the CIM subscriptions used by the Lenovo XClarity Administrator or Flex System Manager software. cimsub -clear identifier

where identifier is:

  • all to delete all subscriptions.
  • a single destination URL identifer contained within double-quotes. Valid subscription identifiers can be seen by running the cimsub command with no arguments or the cimsub -v command.
This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Chassis configuration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Primary CMM:
  • mm[p]
  • mm[P]
  • mm[x]
  • where x is the primary CMM bay number.

Example:

To display CIM destinations for the primary CMM, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent environment, at the system> prompt, type 
cimsub -T mm[p]

To display CIM status for the primary CMM, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent environment, at the system> prompt, type

cimsub -v -T mm[p]

To clear the CIM subscription with an identifier of http://9.37.64.50:8080 for the primary CMM, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent environment, at the system> prompt, type

cimsub -clear "http://9.37.64.50:8080" -T mm[p]

To clear all CIM subscriptions for the primary CMM, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent environment, at the system> prompt, type

cimsub -clear all -T mm[p]

The following example shows the information that is returned from these commands: 

system> cimsub -T mm[p]
Destination = "http://9.37.64.50:8080"

Destination = "http://9.37.64.50:8080"
