Hello Ivaylo,
thanks for your response.
I checked the files and the local address is correct on both sides in the imc\common\conf
IMC:
local-address: 172.19.2.130 (correct)
components address: 127.0.0.1
db-config address: v-it052 (correct, dns without domain, dns-suffix is our domain)
Database Server:
local-address: 172.19.0.37 (correct)
components address: 172.19.2.130 (correct, see above)
db-config address: v-it052 (not sure if correct or should be localhost 127.0.0.1)
There is no directory \IMC\euplat\common\conf on my HPE IMC or database server (generally no \IMC\euplat\)
I do have another server-addr.xml in the directory \IMC\deploy\conf
Both files on IMC server are identical and both filse on Database server are identical.
And IMC with external database is working. Only the "integrated" database backup with dbman (still) does not work.
dbman.conf on IMC:
# DBMAN Configurations
Language = en
# Common Configurations
EnableDbman = 0
BackHoseIp =
PrimaryHost = 0
MaxLogSize = 10485760
FileReserveTime = 7
CommandPort = 2810
SessionTimeout = 300
FaultIp = 127.0.0.1
IfTransToHost = 0
# Primary Common Configurations
BackupAtOnce = 0
BackupTime = 4
BackupTimeMinute = 0
AfterFTPSave = 2
# iMC server Configurations
ServerCount = 1
iMCIP1 = 127.0.0.1
DBaseIP1 = v-it052
DBType1 = 1
DBInstance1 = N/A
PrimaryDbSaUserName1 = imc-db-sa
PrimaryDbSaPassword1 = HASH
PrimaryDbPort1 = 1433
DBCount1 = 10
# Primary 1 Configurations
BackupPath1_127.0.0.1 = C:\dbmanbak
BackupPath1_v-it052 = C:\dbmanbak
PrimaryDbInst1_1 = v-it052@aclm_db
PrimaryDbUser1_1 = imc_aclm
PrimaryDbPassword1_1 = HASH
PrimaryDbInst1_1_iMC-ACLM = 7.3.E0710P06
ifbackup1_1 = 1
iftrans1_1 = 0
........
I dont know whar BackHoseIp is for, but I tried "BackHoseIp = 172.19.2.130", but without change in behaviour
What is it for? And what are the others variables are for? Maybe I could change something there, to get file transfer working with the correct IP addresses (if that is really the problem)?
dbman.conf on Database server v-it052:
# DBMAN Configurations
# Common Configurations
EnableDbman = 0
PrimaryHost = 1
MaxLogSize = 10485760
FileReserveTime = 7
CommandPort = 2810
SessionTimeout = 300
# Primary Host Configurations
BackupTime = 04
BackupTimeMinute = 00
BackupAtOnce = 0
BackupPath =
PrimaryDbSaPassword = HASH
DBCount = 4
PrimaryDbInst1 = 127.0.0.1@aclm_db
PrimaryDbUser1 = imc_aclm
PrimaryDbPassword1 = HASH
......
Any other idea? How does dbman transfer the files from the Databse Server to the IMC Server to the desired directory? I can see a running tftp server on the databse server as on the IMC Server. But trying with a tftp client I am not able to put a file. Wireshark says: "Error Code, Code Access violation, Message: Access voilation." But the dbman directory also has a pscp.exe in it...
Thanks and kind regards
Robert

Hello,
the configuration files responsible for the correct IP addresses binding on both servers (iMC and remote database) are called server-addr.xml, you can find them under \iMC\common\conf on both servers. under "local-address" you should see the correct IP address of the server where you check the file. The "db-config address" should be the IP address of the remote database server. On the below screenshot (the file is on the iMC server) .52 is the IP address of the iMC server and .53 is the remote database:
On the iMC server there is additional file that also needs to be checked. It is called again server-addr.xml, but the location is different - \iMC\euplat\common\conf.
Please check if you have the correct IP addresses there and change them if they are wrong.
Thank you,
Best Regards,
Ivaylo Velikov
