The Windows service ibm director wmi cim server runs, by default, on IBM servers and prevents the start of
Operations Manager service-level view. You need to stop this service and change the startup type to Manual
before the installation (Figure 3).
The recommended version of IBM Director is 5.10.1. This is incorporated in the OS build for Communications
Manager 2000.4.3.

Windows/MCS SNMP Service
As a part of the standard IP telephony OS installation, the SNMP service on the Media Convergence Server is
installed, but community strings are not specified. For Operations Manager to manage the device, the device (that
is, the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unity, and so on) must have a proper SNMP read
community string defined for the SNMP service.
To define the SNMP read community string, do the following:
Step 1. On the MCS, go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
Step 2. Select the SNMP service.
Step 3. Double-click the service and select the Security tab.
Step 4. Under the Security tab, you can define community strings and assign them read permission. (This is not
the read community string).
On the same tab, you can also specify which servers (IP addresses) can make SNMP queries to the
MCS. In that section, make sure that you add the IP address of Operations Manager as an authorized
server to make SNMP queries to the MCS (Figure 4).
