Chapter 4 Modifying IPM Components
Setting the Baseline
To change the IP address:
Step 1 Select Edit > IP Address from the IPM Main Window.
The Change IP Address window (Figure 4-8) appears.
Figure 4-8 Change IP Address Window
Step 2 In the Old IP Address field, enter the old address you want to change. This must be an IP address; it
cannot be a host name.
Step 3 In the New IP Address field, enter the new IP address.
Do not enter an IP address that already exists in the IPM database. If you do, IPM issues an error message
and does not change the old IP address.
Step 4 Click OK.
The IP address is changed throughout the IPM database.
The IPM client can seem unresponsive while the IP address is being changed. This is due to the high
volume of messages being received by the client during this time.
If you change an IP address, you must wait until the change is complete in the IPM database before
making another IP address change.
When you change the IP address of a device, IPM performs two checks. IPM first checks whether the
same IP address is used by another device in the IPM database.
For more detailed information about the Change IP Address window, see the “Change IP Address
Window” topic in the online help.
Setting the Baseline
You can increase, by a specified percentage (the baseline), the latency threshold for all statistical
collectors in Running state that have collected at least one hour of data. Editing the baseline does not
affect monitored collectors.
If you edit the baseline, then try to edit it again before the first edit is complete on all collectors, IPM
blocks the second attempt and issues an error message. Wait for the baseline to be updated on all running
collectors before editing the baseline again.
