2.4 Creating an IM database
You can use the IM Configuration Management database to manage the hierarchy of a system (IM configuration). You can also use the integrated monitoring database to manage JP1 events. These two databases, which are generically referred to as the IM databases, need to be created to perform the above operations. Note that the IM database is set when either the IM Configuration Management database or the integrated monitoring database is set.
If you do not use the IM Configuration Management database during system configuration or you do not use the integrated monitoring database or the IM Configuration Management database when you start operations, there is no need to create an IM database. You can create the IM database when you need either or both of the integrated monitoring database and the IM Configuration Management database after operations have started.
This section explains how to create an IM database.
