Chapter 4 Modifying IPM Components

Setting New IPM Server Process Timeout Values

Setting Server Timeout Values in Solaris

To set server timeout values in Solaris:

Step 1 On your IPM server, use a text editor to open the ipm.conf file. In Solaris, the default directory for the ipm.conf file is /opt/CSCOipm/etc.

Note The default directory for installing IPM is /opt. If you installed IPM in a different directory, specify that directory instead of /opt.

The data collection server’s timeout value is defined in the following line in the file:

DataCollectionServer R MessageLogServer,SNMPServer /opt/CSCOipm/bin/CWB_ipmData_colld

-ORBagentPort,44342,-PMCserverName,IPMProcessMgr,-PMCname,DataCollectionServer,-MLCserverN ame,IPMMsgLogServer,-MLCname,DataCollectionServer,-N,IPMDataCollectionServer,-R,/opt/CSCOi pm 120

The configuration server’s timeout value is defined in the following line in the file:

ConfigServer R MessageLogServer,SNMPServer,DataCollectionServer /opt/CSCOipm/bin/CWB_ipmConfigServerd -ORBagentPort,44342,-PMCserverName,IPMProcessMgr,-PMCname,ConfigServer,-MLCserverName,IPMM sgLogServer,-MLCname,ConfigServer 120

Step 2 To change the timeout definition for one or both servers, change the number 120 at the end of the appropriate line. For example, to change the timeout value for configuration servers to 240 seconds:

ConfigServer R MessageLogServer,SNMPServer,DataCollectionServer /opt/CSCOipm/bin/CWB_ipmConfigServerd -ORBagentPort,44342,-PMCserverName,IPMProcessMgr,-PMCname,ConfigServer,-MLCserverName,IPMM sgLogServer,-MLCname,ConfigServer 240

Step 3 Save your changes and close the file.

Step 4 Log in as the root user.

Step 5 Restart the IPM servers by entering:

#cd /opt/CSCOipm/bin

#./ipm restart

When the IPM servers start up, they use the new timeout values.

Setting Server Timeout Values in Windows

To set server timeout values in Windows:

Step 1 On your IPM server, use a text editor to open the ipm.conf file. In Windows, the default directory for the ipm.conf file is c:\Program Files\Internetwork Performance Monitor\server\pmconf.

The default directory for installing IPM is c:\Program Files\Internetwork Performance Monitor. If you installed IPM in a different directory, specify that directory instead of c:\Program Files\Internetwork Performance Monitor.
