Downloading the IPM Client
Step 5 From the Solaris command line, change to the directory where you downloaded the installation software
and uncompress the files using:
# uncompress CSCOipmClient.tar.Z
Step 6 In the directory where you uncompressed the files, extract the IPM client installation files to the
CDImage directory using:
# /usr/bin/tar -xvf CSCOipmClient.tar
Step 7 Change to the CDImage directory and run the IPM client software installation program using:
# ./setupCli.sh
Step 8 After verifying that the IPM client software installed successfully, remove all installation files in the
temporary directory using:
# rm -rf temp_directory
Where temp_directory is the directory containing the downloaded files.
For more information about installing the IPM client software on a Solaris workstation, see the
“Installing IPM on Solaris” chapter of the Installation Guide for Internetwork Performance Monitor.
Downloading the IPM Client for Windows
