The following list summarizes the steps you need to take to install MDM. You must complete these steps in the order that they are presented.
A DOS prompt displays a list of registered CIMOMs, for example:
service:wbem:https://N8A6755C:5989,65535 service:wbem:https://n054196c:5989,65535 service:wbem:https://9.37.241.108:5989,65535
Each line consists of a service registration and has the following syntax:
$service:service-type:url
$ slptool register service:wbem:https://myhost.com:port
adduser defaultsuperuser and defaultmdmsupw
