APPENDIX
B
IPM Command Reference
This appendix provides a list of the IPM commands. Table B-1 shows the format of the commands and
a description of the actions they perform.
If you Telnet into a remote workstation and you do not set the DISPLAY variable to local display, you
cannot use this command. See Setting the DISPLAY Variable in Solaris for details.
Some IPM commands can be run only by the root user while the others can be run by the root user and
also by members of the casusers group.

IPMROOT/Server/sybase
On Solaris, the default backup directory is:
IPMROOT/CSCOcwbS/db/CSCOipm/backup.
ipm baseline percentage
Modifies the baseline, increasing the latency threshold for all Running statistical collectors on
the local host by percentage. The valid range for percentage is 1 to 999. See Setting the
Baseline for more details.
You can use this command if you are a member of the casusers group.
