Starting IPM
Since the IPM application is comprised of a server component and a client component, you must start
both components to run the application. If the IPM server and client are installed on the same system,
you can start the IPM server and client using a single command, or you can start them separately.
The following sections provide details for starting the IPM server and client:
• Starting IPM Server on Solaris
• Starting IPM Server on Windows
• Starting IPM Client From the CiscoWorks Homepage
• Starting IPM Standalone Client on Solaris
• Starting IPM Standalone Client on Windows
Starting IPM Server on Solaris
To start the IPM server on a Solaris system, enter:
# cd /opt/CSCOipm/bin
# ./ipm start
To enter the ipm start command, you must be logged in as the root user, or your login must have
administrator privileges.
