VMware Update Manager is installed, the port number 8084 for the plug-in must be changed from the
default to an unused port number.

of the system the installer is running on. Click Next.

To verify that the application server was installed successfully, run the services.msc command, and
verify that the cimserver service was installed and that both the cimserver service and the Jetty6-Service
service have started.
NOTE: After the application server reboots, the name of the CIMOM service changes to Pegasus CIM Object Manager.
NOTE: In the event one of these services crash or is stopped, the CIMOM service must be started before the Jetty service or
no updates/modifications will occur.
