Upgraded to iManager 2.5 and attempting to use the Storage Plug-in to manage NSS volumes.

The NSS software may not currently be running on this server.

Resolution

To install OpenWBEM, download the NetWare 6.5 SP3 Products Overlay CD from https://support.novell.com
Be sure and get the PRODUCTS CD and not the OS CD.

You may have OpenWEBM install but not configured.
Look for a /system/cimom directory.
If there try starting with step 4 below.
For NetWare 6.5 SP3 servers which don't have OpenWBEM installed, do the following:

1. Insert the NetWare 6.5 SP3 Products Overlay CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Browse to the PRODUCTS\OPENWBEM folder. Copy the CIMOM.ZIP to the root of the SYS: volume
3. Unzip the CIMOM.ZIP file to the root of the SYS: volume on the server.
4. At the NetWare console - type: BASH and press enter
5. Generate a certificate for use by openwbem. At the Bash console shell, type the followingl:/system/cimom/etc/openwbem/owgencert
6. At the Bash shell, type EXIT.
7. At the Server Console prompt, enter the following command,openwbem.
8. Add the following line into AUTOEXEC.NCF: Load OPENWBEM.NCF
