5 Service management
IMC Basic contains built-in service modules including VLANM, ACLM, ICC, and GAM.
In addition, to meet the wireless service requirements, IMC Basic provides a version that offers a
wireless service manager module. For more information, see HP IMC Wireless Service Manager
Administrator Guide.
VLAN Management
VLAN Management (VLANM) is included in Enterprise and Standard editions of IMC.
The VLAN technology is widely used to restrict broadcasts among switches in a LAN. As the network
grows, configuring and managing a large number of VLANs can be a problem.
VLANM allows you to plan and deploy configuration of VLANs, view VLAN topologies, and view
information about VLAN deployment.
ACL Management
ACL Management (ACLM) is included in Enterprise and Standard editions of IMC. ACLM implements
the following functions:
•
ACL definition.
•
ACL use.
•
Packet filtering.
•
Configuration history for individual devices.
•
A user-friendly guide to ACL configuration for multiple devices by flexible use of batch
deployment templates.
•
A powerful deployment mechanism and all-aspect task views for easy management and task
deployment.
ACLM is a fundamental network resource manager. With this component installed, ACL resource
options can be integrated into related service configuration options to provide easy service
configuration.
Intelligent Configuration Center
Intelligent Configuration Center (ICC) is designed to easily manage device configuration files and
software versions from a central location. It provides configuration file baseline management,
allowing you to trace changes made to configuration files, and stores previous versions of device
software to help you quickly restore a historical version. These functions greatly facilitate device
management and improve network maintainability.
ICC also provides configuration templates and a device software library for resource reuse and
easy maintenance.
Guest Access Manager
Guest Access Manager (GAM) is an application that enables non-IT staff to configure temporary
user accounts to provide guest access to your network. After pre-configuration by a network
administrator, a non-IT staff member can serve as the guest account administrator.
The guest account administrator can use GAM to quickly and easily create guest user accounts,
and deploy the account information to access devices in the network. The guest account administrator
does not need to know how to configure or manage access devices. Figure 23 shows an overview
of GAM.

How do I install a certificate for IMC Basic?
By default, IMC Basic is provided with a certificate created by the IMC development team,
as shown in Figure 30.
30
FAQs
Figure 30 Certificate
To install another certificate for IMC running in Windows:
1. Stop IMC.
2. In the cmd window, navigate to the client\security directory of the IMC Basic
installation path.
3. Use the command rename newks newks.bak to rename the file newks to newks.bak.
4. Create a new certificate.
<installation directory>\deploy\jdk\bin\keytool.exe -genkey -v
-alias IMC -validity 3650 -keyalg RSA -dname "CN=192.168.1.100,
OU=R&D, O=Company, L=Beijing, S=China, C=CN" -keypass
IMCV500R001 -storepass IMCV500R001 -keystore newks
Description of -dname parameters:
•
CN—Domain name or IP address of the IMC Basic server host.
•
OU—Organizational Unit.
•
O—Company or organization name.
•
L—City name.
•
S—Country/region name.
•
C—Two-digit country/region code.
If the value of CN is not the domain name or IP address of the IMC Basic server host,
the system will display a certificate address error message when the administrator logs
in to IMC Basic from the browser.
5.

6.
Modify the IMC Basic configuration file.
The –keypass and –storepass parameters in the command for creating a certificate are
used to specify the password for the certificate and the certificate store. If you use
another password instead of iMCV500R001 for the certificate store, you need to modify
the configuration file as follows:
a. Use a text editor to open the file \client\conf\server.xml in the IMC Basic
installation directory, as shown in Figure 31.
b. Replace iMCV500R001 in the file with the new password for the certificate store.
Figure 31 The server.xml file on Windows
7.
Restart IMC.
To log in to IMC Basic from a Web browser, the administrator must enable trust for
the newly created certificate. For this procedure, see the next FAQ topic.
6.12
When I use IE 7.0 or later to log in through HTTPS, a certificate
error message appears. How should I deal with it?
This happens because the certificate used by IMC Basic is not trusted. An administrator must
enable trust for the certificate.
Take IE 10.0 for example. To enable trust for a certificate:
1. Use HTTPS to log in to IMC Basic.
An error message appears, as shown in Figure 32.

I cannot telnet to any device from the device details page with
IE 8.0 in the 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 operating system.
What should I do?
This problem is caused by the following:
•
Some versions of the Windows operating system do not provide any telnet client by
default.
•
Some versions of IE are not allowed to employ any telnet client by default.
For more information, see the FAQ of the IMC Basic online help.
6.14
I cannot open the Web-based NMS interface for some devices.
Why does this happen?
The Web-based NMS function is subject to the device configuration. This function is available
only when Web-based network management is supported and enabled on your selected
device.
6.15
I cannot view the topology after IMC Basic has run for some
time. Why does this happen?
This happens when there are too many temporary files in the Temp folder of the system.
Clear unnecessary files from the folder to release space. The default path of the Temp folder
varies with the operating system.
•
On Windows XP, the folder is located in the C:\Documents and Settings\ADM\Local
Settings\Temp directory.
•
On Windows 7 and 8, the folder is located in the C:\Users\ADM\AppData\Local\Temp
directory.
Replace ADM with the current user name of the operating system.
6.16
When a device is replaced with another device using a different
IP address, the network topology becomes incorrect. What
should I do?
The network topology is incorrect because IMC Basic is unaware of the device change. To
solve the problem, use either of the following methods:
6.17
•
Remove the old device from IMC Basic and manually synchronize the new device to
IMC Basic.
•
Configure the IP address of the new device with that of the old device, and manually
synchronize the new device to IMC Basic.
When I use the IMC Basic topology function, no node exists in
the topology, and an error is displayed at the Java console.
Why?
This problem is caused by a JRE bug. It appears randomly. To solve the problem, close the
browser, and then log in to IMC Basic again.
For more information about this JRE bug, log in to:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6967414.

When I use the IMC Basic topology function, an error occurs
(for example, the browser automatically closes, and the device
details page cannot be launched from the topology). What
should I do?
Troubleshoot the problem as follows:
1. Check the Java version installed on the client (through the Java control panel), as shown
in Figure 45. If the Java version is lower than Java 6 Update 16, download and install
the latest Java version from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/
downloads/index.html.
NOTE: This link will take you outside the Hewlett-Packard website. HP does not control
and is not responsible for information outside HP.com.
Or, select System Management > Component Deploy from IMC Basic to download and
install JRE.

When some commands configured in the Execute Command
After Export field of the data export function are executed, the
CPU utilization remains high for a long time. What should I
do?
Ensure the commands have no GUIs included, are executed in the background, and can
automatically exit after execution.
6.21
When I add a view with the same name as that of an existing
view but different in letter case, why does the system display
that the view already exists?
The SQL server database is case-insensitive. Suppose a view named router already exists.
When you try to add a view named ROUTER, the system considers it to be the same as
router and displays that the view already exists. You must choose a unique name to create
a new view.
6.22
When IMC Basic runs for a period of time using the SQL Server
database, the memory utilization becomes extremely high and
cannot recover. What should I do?
To solve the problem, perform the following steps to change the maximum buffer size for
the SQL server:
44
FAQs
1.
Execute the setsqlservermaxmem.bat -server server -saPwd password –maxMem
maxmem command in the \client\bin\ directory of the IMC Basic installation path.
Parameter description:
2.
•
-server server: Name or IP address of the SQL Server database server. This
parameter is optional. The default setting is localhost.
•
-saPwd password: Password of the sa user. This parameter is required.
•
-maxMem maxmem: Maximum buffer size, in MB. This parameter is optional.
Restart the SQL Server database to validate the configuration.
For example, suppose that IMC Basic is deployed in centralized mode and uses a remote
SQL Server database at 192.168.100.199. The password of sa user is iMC123. To set the
buffer size of the database to 1024 MB, execute the following command in the \client\bin
directory of the IMC Basic installation path:
setsqlservermaxmem -server 127.0.0.1 -saPwd sa -maxMem 1024
NOTE:
6.23
•
The actual buffer size in use might be greater than what you configured because the
database itself uses some buffer.
•
The preceding configurations become effective after you reboot the database.
When I try to view IMC Basic resources, no devices are
displayed. Why does this happen?
The primary reason for this to occur is insufficient hardware resources. Other reasons might
include:
•
The IMC Basic processes automatically restart.
•
The system is slow in response, and always prompts insufficient resources.
•
The periodic reports cannot be generated.
Solution:
Upgrade the memory and relevant hardware resources of the server installed with IMC
Basic.
6.24
Can I modify the system time while IMC Basic is running?
HP does not recommend manually modifying the system time while IMC is running. When
you do so, data confusion or process errors might occur.
When IMC process errors are caused by system time modification, restart IMC-related
processes (including the Intelligent Deployment Monitoring Agent and the IMC Basic services).
6.25
When I import files with long file names to IMC Basic, the
system does not respond. What should I do?
The length limit of file names varies with operating systems or browsers. Shorten the file
name and import the file again.
6.26
If I type a long string of text in IMC Basic, the interface does
not appear well organized. What should I do?
This is an inherent defect of the browser and does not affect your normal operation. To
avoid such problems, add spaces to the text where necessary and the browser will
automatically adjust the layout of the interface.
45
6.27
When I navigate to the last page of a list, the number of total
pages displayed at the bottom of the page is greater than that
displayed above the list. Why?
To speed up queries, the number of total pages obtained in the last query is automatically
cached. The cached number is used to navigate you to the last page. When the last page
is displayed, the number of total pages is recalculated and displayed at the bottom of the
page.
When more entries are added between two queries, the total pages can appear inconsistent.
To browse the new pages, use the navigation links at the bottom of the page.
6.28
When I try to log in to IMC Basic through the management PC,
the system displays an insufficient system resource error. What
should I do?
You can solve the problem by changing the Java heap size of the system. Do the following:
•
In a Windows operating system, execute the setmem.bat Maxsize command in the
\client\bin directory of the IMC Basic installation path.
A collection unit is a performance instance that is collected every 5 minutes.
If a performance instance uses another collection interval, it corresponds to a number of
collection units calculated with the formula: 5 minutes/instance collection interval, in minutes.
For example, if the collection interval is 10 minutes for all performance instances, to collect
performance data including CPU, memory, interface send and receive rates, unreachability
rate, and response time on a device that contains one CPU, one memory bar, and 10
interfaces, the total collection units of the device are: (1+1+10×2+1+1)×5/10=12.

•
Make sure you have stopped IMC Basic before you change the Java Heap size.
•
The Java Heap size for a 32 bit-operating system cannot exceed 1 GB. If a larger Java
Heap size is required, use a 64-bit operating system.
How do I collect IMC Basic logs for technical support?
IMC Basic provides a log collection tool file logfiles.bat in installation directory\deploy.
Enter the installation directory\deploy directory path at the command line interface (cmd.exe),
and then execute the tool command.
46
FAQs
•
To collect logs within the last seven days, simply execute the logfiles command.
•
To collect logs for more than seven days, you must type the relevant parameter. For
example, to collect logs within the last 30 days, execute the logfiles 30 command.
The logs are saved as a .zip file in installation directory\tmp\log_xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.zip
(the 14-digit log file name comprises the year, month, day, hour, minute, second, millisecond,
and a random number).
6.30
If the IMC Basic server has multiple NICs, how can I use one
of the IP addresses to listen to HTTP/HTTPS services?
Perform the following tasks:
1. Use a text editor to open the IMC Basic configuration file server.xml:
•
On Windows, the file is located in the \client\conf directory of the IMC Basic
installation path.
•
On Linux, the file is located in the /client/conf directory of the IMC Basic installation
path.
This example uses Windows.
2.
3.
Add address="IP address" to the file, as shown in Figure 49.
Save the file and restart IMC Basic.
Now IMC Basic can be accessed only from the IP address specified in the server.xml
file.

6.31
In a distributed IMC Basic deployment environment, if all the
primary and secondary servers are restarted, the database
cannot be uploaded to the component on the secondary server.
How can I solve this problem?
This occurs because the primary server was restarted before the secondary server was
restarted. The jserver process on the primary server cannot be connected to the database
on the secondary server. Therefore, the database cannot be uploaded to the component
on the secondary server.
Solution:
Manually restart the jserver process on the primary server after the secondary server restarts.
6.32
When installing IMC Basic, a database check error occurs.
How can I solve this problem?
The error is shown in Figure 50.
47
Figure 50 Database check error
When you install the SQL Server 2005 database or later versions and use the non-default
instance, you must enable the SQL Browser service. Otherwise, Java might fail to connect
to the database.
6.33
When the SOM module is removed, the SOM processes created
and submitted by the alarm, iCC, ACLM, or VLANM module
cannot be executed. What should I do?
The remaining SOM processes are invalid when the SOM module is removed. Delete the
SOM processes.
6.34
When using the Oracle database, some IMC Basic modules
give database errors. What should I do?
Such problems are usually caused by an insufficient maximum number of Oracle processes
or the Oracle connection limit. By default, the Oracle database allows a maximum of 150
connections. When IMC Basic modules are deployed in centralized mode, you must properly
set the maximum number of Oracle database processes and the Oracle connection limit.
Table 8 shows the Oracle connection limit required by IMC Basic modules.

When I use IE 10.0 to log in to IMC Basic in Windows Server
2012, I am prompted to install the Flash plug-in, but I cannot
install the new version of the Flash plug-in. What should I do?
This is because Windows Server 2012 has integrated a Flash plug-in into IE 10.0, but it is
not enabled by default. When you install the new version of the Flash plug-in, the integrated
Flash plug-in will be detected. As a result, the installation fails.
You can solve this problem by enabling the Flash plug-in that is integrated into Windows
Server 2012.
This example uses Windows Server 2012 build 6.2.9200.16384 and IE 10.0 build
