Configuring ICPAM on a VM: Before You Begin

Before you power on the ICPAM appliance, you need the following:

·         A PC with a Web browser Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher.

·         An Ethernet cable to connect your PC directly to the ICPAM appliance. Cross-over and straight-through cables are supported.

In addition, gather the following information:

·         IP, subnet, and gateway addresses for the ICPAM appliance:

o       For a standalone server installation, one IP address for Eth0 is required.

o       For a redundant (HA) server configuration, three IP addresses are required: one address for the active server, a second address for the standby server, and a third address for the shared IP Address setting. See Understanding IP Addresses on the ICPAM Server.

·         (Optional) If using NTP synchronization, the address of the NTP server.

·         (Optional) The DNS server settings.

·         (Optional) If event archives will be backed up to a remote server: an FTP or SFTP server address, a username, and a password.

·         Administrator password. If you are setting up the appliance for the first time, use the default password of cpamadmin.
