IMC uses the install + deploy model:

• During installation, the installation package of the IMC component is copied to the server and loaded to the Intelligent Deployment Monitoring Agent.

• During deployment, the installation package is decompressed on the server and database scripts are created for the component.

The IMC components are operational only after they are deployed. In centralized deployment, all IMC components are installed and deployed on the same server.

IMC automatically creates a database user for each component when the component is deployed. As a best practice, do not modify the database user configuration, including the database user password and password policy.

If the deployment or upgrade process is interrupted, IMC automatically stores logs in a compressed file in the \tmp directory of the IMC installation path. You can use the logs to quickly locate the issue or error.
