Avaya Session Manager: initTM – intlx Solutions

Manufacturer:	Avaya
Product:	Session Manager

Patch Information:
Ticket Number(s):

Description:

The initTM command initializes the Avaya Session Manager Trust Management. An initial trust needs to be established between Avaya Aura System Manager and Avaya Aura Session Manager for the servers to communicate and synchronize data between each other. This is a crucial step during the configuration of an Avaya Session Manager.

This command is run during installation and again if the Avaya System Manager is changed or re-installed and the enrollment password needs to be updated.

The initTM command is service impacting, Session Manager will stop!

Below are options and output from the Avaya Session Manager Lab at intlx Solutions:

[cust@lab1-asm bin]$ initTM
 Trust Management Initialization started.
 Trust already established, skipping
 Configuring WebSphere trust settings
 Successfully wrote certificate chain to file /opt/Avaya/asset/...
packages/active-version/etc/cert/servers/http-unique.pem
 Trust Management initialization completed successfully.

Once the initTM command has succeeded, it will automatically run the initDRS command which will attempt to initialize the database configuration for this Session Manager from System Manager. It is key that the System Manager and Session Manager servers can resolve their respective host names through DNS or their hosts files.

09:31:38 EST 2017: DRS Replication initialization started.

Please go to the System Manager Replication Page to check the synchronization state

The initTM command also has some return codes that are used to give you more feedback once the command finishes running. In case you don’t have success when running the initTM command you can run the 'echo $?' command. The number you get back will be the response code from the initTM command.

Use the data below to determine what your initTM return status means:

0: Success
1: Could not connect to System Manager
2: Required process did not start
3: Unable to configure WebSphere
4: Unknown error occurred
5: Incorrect enrollment password
6: User choose not to install demo certificates
7: User choose not to run the force option
8: Invalid option

Example of checking your return code:

[cust@lab1-asm bin]$ initTM
