Network Management

Hi, I just installed IMC at linux (CentOS) server and I have some concerns how it starts after server restart?

I did found that there is file:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/imcdmsd

that starts

/opt/iMC/deploy/jdk/jre/bin/java -server -Xrs -Xms256m -Xmx2048m -cp /opt/iMC/deploy/deploy.jar -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/opt/iMC/deploy/truststore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=*********** -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava

but I'm still looking how following processes are started?

/opt/iMC/common/jre/bin/java -server -Xrs -Dimc.home=/opt/iMC/euplat/client -Dimc.root=/opt/iMC -Dfile.encoding=GB18030 -Djava.io.tmpdir=/opt/iMC/tmp -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US -jar /opt/iMC/euplat/client/bin/bootstrap

The installation was performed using silent mode and I did changed -Dfile.encoding=GB18030 to -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 in install script however some processes still start with Dfile.encoding GB18030.

How can I change it?

I don't want to have GUI on this server so I'm looking for the CLI commands to manage IMC on linux server.

Can anyone point me some documentation for it?

Hello,

I've posted here how the IMC processes themselves could be manually stopped and started via CLI: https://community.hpe.com/t5/IMC/How-to-start-and-stop-iMC-services-using-command-line-in-linux/td-p/7077160#.XmJQ56gzaUk

To start them on boot, you should check the box "automatically start the services when the OS starts" on the Deployment Monitoring Agent. The CLI equivalent would be to enable the imcdmsd process with chkconfig imcdmsd on.

That said, without using DMA using a GUI, you won't be able to upgrade iMC or run database backup/restore or other features that must be done via the DMA, so I really don't recommend running it CLI-only. Please be aware that running iMC on CLI-only is not supported (also on Linux), hence it isn't mentioned in the Linux installation guides, and the non-silent installer will inform you of this and refuse to proceed if you attempt to run it from a command prompt without X.

Actually I installed IMC from iMC_PLAT_7.3_E0605_Enterprise_Linux.zip after unzipping it 

cd linux/install/
chmod -R 700 ./*.sh

there was a file:
./installsilence.sh

Similar proces was for applying a patch iMC_PLAT_7.3_E0605P06_Lin.zip

cd linux/install/
chmod -R 700 ./*.sh
./updateSilence.sh

I didn't get any warnings that it isn't supported but I got nice log within same directories what was done by this scripts.

From what you wrote I understand that it's not supported but in my opinion running GUI in linux server just for the ability to configure something by clicking in GUI is not always desirable if same is possible to gain using just CLI.

I didn't test backup/restore procedure yet but there is a process dbman which I suppose is able to run this procedures based on some configuration files.

Does anyone know if processes should be invoked with file.encoding=GB18030 regardless of what language was choosen during installation? Can it be changed and where?
