SCOM 2007R2 Cross Platform Agent – Unknown

There are times when the deployment of the CPA works fine but the server never comes online in SCOM fully. This can be due to the pid and socket file being corrupted.

$ /opt/microsoft/scx/bin/scx/bin/tools >./scxadmin – start-all

Failed to start child process ‘/etc/init.d/dcx-cimd’ errno=13
RETUN CODE 1

OK this can normally be fixed by:-

$ cd /var/opt/microsoft/scx/tmp
$ rm cim.socket
$ rm scx-cimd.pid

Note: This may require elevated privileges.
