This bug is lacking a little specificity.  It's supposed to be for specifically enabling/disabling the firewall port for the CIM server which is port 5989/tcp (wbem-https)

Changing $subject to be more accurate

Do we need a UI component for this as well? or just a command line option?

For now let's just open the port in the default firewall rules.

We'll have discussion upstream about how to handle switching controlling management framework while keeping others usable in read-only mode and in the meantime RHEV-H 6.2 core image RHEV will be main management, libvirtcim optional in read-only mode.

The port is open but is the service running by default?

No, the service is not currently running by default

Patch

Add the libvirt-cim firewall port to the default firewall for ipv6, ipv4 for both upstream and rhev builds

Note:  patch does require previous patch to include upstream firewall

I was mistaken,  the service is currently configured to run by default.  It doesn't run successfully currently, but it tries to (bug 727532)

This is being reverted as per bug 757532 Comment 2 and deferred to 6.3
