Chapter 2 Getting Started With IPM
Starting IPM Client
Enabling the IPM Password on Solaris
To enable IPM passwords on Solaris:
Step 1 Log in as the root user.
Step 2 Enter:
# cd /opt/CSCOipm/bin
# ./ipm password
Note The default directory for installing IPM is /opt. If you installed IPM in a different directory, you
must specify that directory instead of /opt.
IPM prompts you to enter a password.
Step 3 Enter a password and press Enter.
The password is case sensitive and should begin with an alphabet. You can enter only a maximum of 15
characters and you can enter only alphanumeric characters.
IPM prompts you to confirm the password.
Step 4 Enter the password again and press Enter.
IPM displays:
IPM Administrative Password is Changed.
Use IPM Administrative Password to access standalone IPM Client and CLI commands
The administrative password is required for launching the IPM standalone client.
Note To protect device credentials IPM does not allow you to disable the administrative password. During
IPM installation, you will be prompted to enter the administrative password. It is important that you set
the administrative password.
