Starting BRMS web based GUI for 5770-BR2

By Robert Berendt posted 2 days ago

  

I have done this for 14 lpars of IBM i running a combination of IBM i 7.5 and IBM i 7.6.

I am going under a few assumptions.

  1. You want to do it right.  So, you are going to start out using https and not http.
  2. You have already set up a valid certificate in Digital Certificate Manager.

I started with the following 

See documentation on using https vs http at https://fortradocs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/IWT/pages/2534539265

With that background I quickly burned through all LPARs in a short amount of time with this check list.

Ensure cert is assigned to QIBM_QBRM_WEB

CHGWEBBRM HTTP(*AUTO 2088) HTTPS(*ON 2089) AUTOSTART(*YES)

WRKACTJOB JOB(QBRMWEBSVR)

If there are any active jobs:

ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(QBRMWEBSVR)

WRKACTJOB JOB(QBRMWEBSVR)

STRTCPSVR SERVER(*HTTP) HTTPSVR(QBRMWEBSVR)

WRKACTJOB JOB(QBRMWEBSVR)

Trouble shooting:

NETSTAT OPTION(*CNN) F15 for ports 2088-2089

BRMS and IBM i Navigator.

If BRMS does not appear in Navigator under Bookmarks then follow the advice of Brian Nordland of Fortra in his reply at https://community.ibm.com/community/user/discussion/brms-how-do-you-add-a-bookmark-to-ibm-i-navigator-for-brms#bmcfb47959-b2bf-4114-9d2e-44889ded7f81
