Backing Up or Restoring the IPM Database

Backing Up or Restoring the IPM Database

The IPM database is backed up automatically every day at 1:00 a.m. If your database file is corrupted, you can restore the data in the IPM database from the previous day’s backed-up data.

To restore the IPM database from a previous back up:

•In Solaris, enter:

#cd /opt/CSCOipm/bin

#./ipm dbrestore

•In Windows, enter:

cd c:\Program Files\Internetwork Performance Monitor\server\bin

ipm dbrestore

When you are installing IPM on Windows, you have to select the option to automatically backup the database. On Solaris, the database backup is automatic.

Note This command can take several minutes to complete.

Warning Do not interrupt this command. Doing so can corrupt your IPM database.

NVRAM Settings

If you have configured collectors through IPM, you do not see the SAA instances that get created at the selected sources corresponding to these collectors in the running configuration. However, you can see the SAA instances that you configure at the command line interface of the router in the running configuration.

To see the IPM Collector SAAs in the running configuration follow these steps:

On Windows systems:

Step 1 Edit the file ipm.env in the C:\Program Files\Internetwork Performance Monitor\Server\etc folder Step 2 Change the value of IPM_NVRAM_ENABLE to 1(default set to 0).

IPM_NVRAM_ENABLE=1

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

Step 3 Restart the IPM server by entering ipm restart at the command line.
