Hello, Michelle.

Nick (who I've copied) was able to install Aperi successfully (so
we now have the one machine with Aperi installed and the other with
the Simulator installed).

Nick managed to get the SRM installed, but when he tries to add a CIMOM
agent,
he gets the following error:

Error --
Server: localhost           Status: 12

6/19/08 2:04:25 PM GUI8101I: Connection test to CIMOM SAN FAILED due to
Unreachable

Nick has tried localhost, 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.3, 68.56.47.17, and 
c-68-56-47-17.hsd1.fl.comcast.net
as the hostnames.  He has tried using port 5989, which comes up by
default, and 5988, which is in the video.

And yes, the server is started.

Do you have any suggestions for us?

Thanks!
