Lab 0 How to connect to the IMC Network
Overview

In this lab, you will complete the following tasks:

How you access the IMC Network
Overview of the IMC Network

Section A - How to access the IMC Network
To access the IMC Network follow the steps below
1. Access the following URL http://labs.usa.hp.com
2. Login with the details provided

Section B - Network Infrastructure Details
Each POD consists of two IMC Servers, Server A and Server B which are then
connected to a host of switches. See the diagram below to show how the Servers are
connected to the switches and note the interface connections.

Lab Guide
The table below shows the equipment on the network for each POD and interface
connections
Note both the IMC Servers and all Switches are accessed via the Console Port

Please note that these are sample IP addresses on the IMC Servers and Switches,
HPVL allows you to modify these addresses according to your environment.

Section C - Getting the IMC Network ready
Follow the steps below to set up your network ready for IMC
1. Connect to your IMC Server and set an IP address as per the table above or to
suit your requirements. Note DO NOT TOUCH THE IP ADDRESS MARKED DO
NOT MODIFY

2. Connect to each switch and reset the switch to factory defaults

Cisco Switch erase start-up configuration
HP A-Series reset saved-configuration
HP E Series erase start-up configuration

3. Connect to your switches and ensure that the interfaces on each Switch as per
the Network Diagram on Page 4 are in a UP state
Cisco Switch:
Go to enable mode
Go to conf t mode
show interfaces status
If interfaces are down need to do a no shutdown
HP A-Series:
From System View display interface brief
If interfaces are down need to do a undo shutdown
HP E-Series:
Go to conf mode
show interface brief
If interfaces are down need to do a interface x enable

Lab Guide
4. Ensure that all interfaces are untagged members of VLAN 1initially
Cisco Switch: show vlan brief
HP A Switch: display vlan all
HP E Switch: show vlans

5. Assign an IP address on VLAN 1 on each Switch and ensure that the VLAN is in
a UP state as follows, use the table to on Page 5 & 6 to assign IP addresses or
choose IP addresses to suit your requirements.
Cisco Switch: interface vlan 1
ip address 192.168.1.1x 255.255.255.0
show ip interface brief

HP A Switch: interface vlan 1
[interface vlan 1] ip address 192.168.1.2x 24
display ip interface brief

HP E Switch: vlan 1 ip address 192.168.1.3x 255.255.255.0
show vlan ip

6. Perform a PING from the IMC Server to each Switch to ensure that they are
reachable

7. Enable Telnet on each switch

Cisco Switch:
username <name> privilege <15> password <password>
line vty 0 4
login local
HP A Switch:
local-user <username>
password simple <password>
service-type telnet level 3
user-interface vty 0 4
[user-interface vty 0 4] authentication-mode scheme
HP E Switch
password manager user-name <name> plaintext <password>
password operator user-name <name> plaintext <password>

Save configuration on all of your switches, rename the CFG file to imc.cfg

Lab Guide
Section D - Configuring SNMP for IMC
Before you can discover your devices in IMC you need to create new read/write
community strings on your switches
Note the Trap Destination address for IMC will be added when IMC discovers the
devices
Cisco Switch:
snmp-server community <new string> ro
snmp-server community <new string> rw
snmp-server location <your location>
snmp-server contact <your contact>
snmp-server enable traps
snmp-server host <IMC IP address> version v1 <public community string>
HP A Switch:
snmp-agent community read <new string>
snmp-agent community write <new string>
snmp-agent sys-info location <your location>
snmp-agent sys-info contact <your contact>
snmp-agent traps enable
snmp-agent sys-info version all

HP E Switch:
snmp-server community <new string> operator restricted
snmp-server community <new string> manager unrestricted
snmp-server location <your location>
snmp-server contact <your contact>

Section E - Configuring your Switches to point to the IMC Syslog Server
IMC has a built in Syslog server that is enabled by default, in order to send Syslog
events from your switches to IMC you need to point your switches to the IMC server as
follows:
Cisco Switch: logging <ip address of IMC server>
HP A Switch: info-center loghost <ip address of IMC server>
HP E Switch: logging <ip address of IMC server>

Lab Guide
Lab 1 Install Intelligent Management Console
Overview
IMC Standard version 5.0 and SQL Express 2008 have already been installed and
IMC is running on Server A and Server B in each POD
In this LAB the Instructor will demonstrate the installation of IMC and the Embedded
SQL Express 2008 database on the Instructor PC to guide you through the installation
process and go through some of the pointers below during the installation.
The IMC Installation for this course has all of the base IMC Components and the SQL
Database on the same server, use the pointers below as discussion items between you
and the Instructor.
- Identify the IMC installation requirements i.e. Microsoft Net Framework and at
least 512MB of memory
- Identify the IMC components and ensure that all components are checked at the
time of deployment
- Since there is no SQL Client or existing SQL database on this machine IMC
proceeds to install the embedded database i.e. SQL Express
- The embedded database has a limit of 10GB
- Option to change the default ports 8080 and 8443 at the time of install
- Once installed launch the Deployment Monitoring Agent (DMA) and click on
Start to start IMC
- Go to the Process tab and see all of the processes starting, the last process to
start is jserver.exe
- Explore the Environment tab in particular the Database version and the Back Up
and Configuration tab
