Setting the IP address of the M&R server

After you install the SolutionPack for Network Configuration Manager, you must configure the IP address of the M&R server in the NCM Application Server. If the M&R IP address was already set during the NCM installation, skip this task.

Procedure

Follow these steps to set the IP address of the M&R server in the NCM Application Server:

Operating system	Steps
Linux	Open the <`Product directory`>/db/controldb/data/pg_hba.conf file for editing. Add this line at the end of the pg_hba.conf file: host all all <`M&R IP address`>/32 md5 Save and exit the pg_hba.conf file. Open the <`Product directory`>/db/controldb/data/postgresql.conf file for editing. Find the line #listen_addresses = 'localhost'. Add the M&R entry. For example: listen_addresses = 'localhost,10.31.149.68,10.31.151.223' Save and exit the postgresql.conf file. Type service controldb restart to restart the controldb service.
Windows	Open the <`Product directory`>\db\controldb\data\pg_hba.conf file for editing. Add this line at the end of the pg_hba.conf file: host all all <`M&R IP address`>/32 md5 Save and exit the pg_hba.conf file. Open the <`Product directory`>\db\controldb\data\postgresql.conf file for editing. Find the line #listen_addresses = 'localhost'. Add the M&R entry. For example: listen_addresses = 'localhost,10.31.149.68,10.31.151.223' Save and exit the postgresql.conf file. Navigate to Start > Administrative Tools > Services > NCM_Controldb to restart the controldb service.

If you have selected ElastiSearch DB for Jobs data, you need to manually create the schema. You have to create the following ES-NCM-JOBS resource for the tomcat server, This enables the connection to NCM Jobs database. For example, to create a schema:

In Linux:

Elastic Search:
        ./bin/manage-resources.sh create dba/ES-NCM-JOBS '{ "type": "elasticsearch", "datasource": 
        { "hosts": ["http://<Elastic Search Server IP Address>:9200"],"prefix": "/ncm*"},"settings": {"mapping": "ES-NCM-JOBS.xml"},
        "disabled": false }'

In Windows:

Elastic Search:
         APG PATH\bin\manage-resources.cmd create dba/ES-NCM-JOBS '{ "type": "elasticsearch", 
         "datasource": { "hosts": ["http://<Elastic Search Server IP Address>:9200"],"prefix": "/ncm*"},"settings": {"mapping": 
         "ES-NCM-JOBS.xml"},"disabled": false }'

Restart Tomcat service.
