Mapping Server IPs within IBM InfoSphere Guardium for the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT)

Problem

This Tech Note describes the process of mapping IPs for servers used within the IBM InfoSphere Guardium solution for the IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT). The IBM InfoSphere Guardium solution consists of an appliance and light weight agents (S-TAPs) that are installed on a database server. These agents monitor database traffic and forward information about that traffic to the appliance. S-TAPs have an ILMT signature file that will be detected and analyzed when the ILMT process scans the server. In some cases, when Guardium is deployed without installing S-TAP on the database server, for example when using network inspection, you must place the signature file that is attached to this note (IIGDAM0800.SYS2) somewhere on the database server in order for this installation to be mapped by ILMT. Note: Do not change the file name or alter the file. Other functions may reside on the appliance and an auditor must login to the web-based interface and collect the ILMT information. The procedures for auditing on those functions not reported in an ILMT scan are described in the attached IBM InfoSphere Guardium Version 8.0 - Server IP Mapping for IBM License Metric Tool (ILMT) document.
