NAME
       cimprovider  - disable, enable, remove , list or display status of reg‐
       istered CIM providers or CIM provider modules

SYNOPSIS
       cimprovider -d -m module

       cimprovider -e -m module

       cimprovider -r -m module [ -p provider ]

       cimprovider -l  [ -s | -m module ]

       cimprovider -h

       cimprovider --help

       cimprovider --version

   Remarks
       The -l option for this command can be  executed	by  any	 user(s).  All
       other options require superuser permissions.

       This  command  disables, enables, or removes one CIM provider module or
       CIM provider at a time.

DESCRIPTION
       The cimprovider command provides a command line interface  to  disable,
       enable,	unregister,  and  list	registered  CIM	 providers.   If a CIM
       provider is disabled, the  CIM  Server  rejects	any  requests  to  the
       provider.   If  a  CIM  provider	 is  enabled,  the CIM Server forwards
       requests to the provider.  And if a CIM provider is  unregistered,  the
       CIM Server will no longer have any information about the provider.

       In  order  to  use the cimprovider command, cimserver has to be running
       and the specified provider module (a grouping of providers in the  same
       shared library) or provider has to be registered with WBEM Services.

       The  first  form of cimprovider disables the specified provider module.
       When a specified provider module is in  the  disabled  state,  any  new
       requests	 to the providers that are contained in the specified provider
       module will be rejected.

       The second form of cimprovider enables the providers that are contained
       in  the specified provider module.  The providers that are contained in
       the specified provider module are now ready to accept new requests.

       The third form of  cimprovider  removes	(un-registers)	the  specified
       provider	 module	 and  all  of its contained providers or the specified
       provider in the specified provider module.  Once removed, a provider or
       provider	 module must be re-registered (typically by loading its regis‐
       tration schema via the cimmof command).

       The last form of cimprovider lists all the registered provider  modules
       and  module  status or all the providers in the specified provider mod‐
       ule. To list all providers in all modules, issue a cimprovider -l  com‐
       mand, followed by cimprovider -l -m for each listed module.

       The following provider module status values are defined:

       OK	      The provider module is enabled.

       Stopping	      The provider module is in the process of being disabled.

       Stopped	      The provider module is disabled.

       Degraded	      A	 failure  was  detected	 in an out-of-process provider
		      module.  Disable and re-enable the  provider  module  to
		      ensure  any  active  indication  subscriptions are being
		      served.

       Error	      An invalid registration instance	was  encountered  upon
		      CIM Server initialization.

       Specifying no options with the cimprovider command displays the command
       usage.

   Options
       The cimprovider command recognizes the following options:

	      -d	     Disables the specified CIM provider  R  module  .
			     If	 user(s)  try  to  disable  a  module  that is
			     already disabled, an error	 message  is  returned
			     and no action is taken.

	      -e	     Enables the specified CIM provider R module .  If
			     user(s) try to enable a module  that  is  already
			     enabled  or  try  to enable a module that is dis‐
			     abling, an	 error	message	 is  returned  and  no
			     action is taken.

	      -h, --help     Display command usage information.

	      -l	     Displays all the registered provider modules.

	      -m module	     Specifies the provider module for the operation.

	      -p provider    Specifies the provider for the operation.

	      -r	     Removes  the specified provider module and all of
			     its contained providers.  If provider  is	speci‐
			     fied, removes the specified provider in the spec‐
			     ified provider module (not	 affecting  any	 other
			     providers in that module).

	      -s	     Displays the status of provider modules.

	      --version	     Display CIM Server version number.

EXIT STATUS
       When  an	 error	occurs,	 an  error message is written to stderr and an
       error value 1 is returned.  The following return values are returned:

	      0	     Successful completion
	      1	     Error

USAGE NOTES
       The cimprovider command requires that the CIM Server is running. If  an
       operation  requires  more  than	two  minutes to be processed, the cim‐
       provider command prints a timeout message and returns an error value.

EXAMPLES
       Disable provider module "OperatingSystemProvider" and all of  its  con‐
       tained providers (placing them in a stopped state).

	      cimprovider -d -m OperatingSystemProvider

       Enable  provider	 module	 "OperatingSystemProvider" and all of its con‐
       tained providers (placing them in an OK state).

	      cimprovider -e -m OperatingSystemProvider

       Remove (un-register) the "OperatingSystemProvider" provider module  and
       all of its contained providers.

	      cimprovider -r -m OperatingSystemProvider

       Remove  (un-register) the "PG_OperatingSystemProvider" provider that is
       contained in the "OperatingSystemProvider" provider module.

	      cimprovider -r -m OperatingSystemProvider -p PG_OperatingSystem‐
	      Provider

       List the registered provider modules.

	      cimprovider -l

       List  the  registered  provider	modules	 and their status (such as OK,
       Stopping, Stopped).

	      cimprovider -l -s

       List the registered providers which are contained in the "OperatingSys‐
       temProvider" provider module.

	      cimprovider -l -m OperatingSystemProvider
