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.
