Appendix B IPM Command Reference
ipm deltarg
Removes a target device from the IPM database using command line prompts.
If you try to delete a target and IPM issues an error message such as Could not delete the
target, the cause might be one of the following:
• The target is being used as a final target by one or more collectors.
• The target is being used as an intermediate hop by one or more Path Echo collectors.
See Deleting Targets for details about how to resolve this problem.
You can use this command if you are a member of the casusers group.
ipm editcoll filename Allows you to edit the contents of the specified collector seed file.
You can use this command if you are a member of the casusers group.
ipm editsrc filename Allows you to edit the contents of the specified source seed file.
You can use this command if you are a member of the casusers group.
ipm edittarg filename Allows you to edit the contents of the specified target seed file.
You can use this command if you are a member of the casusers group.
ipm export

You can also use this command to force IPM to use a specific IP address or host name, on a
system that has multiple IP addresses or host names.
