The Installation Instructions detail how to install and de-install the Cisco 6260 DSL Manager (CDM). Deployment options are described, and system requirements for different installations are specified. Details about setting up and administering a CDM workstation are included.
The 6260 CDM can be deployed in a distributed manner to utilize the power of multiple machines.
Two types of deployment, Server, and Server and Client, are available.
Every 6260 CDM deployment must have a 6260 CDM Server installed. Processes on the 6260 CDM Server keep track of the current state of the network model, user access, events etc. The Object Store database system should be installed on this machine.
A 6260 CDM deployment may have the Client installation on separate workstations, which are used to run CDM applications to access objects on the Server. A Client installation contains only those parts of the CDM system necessary for a CDM user session. This user session communicates back to the CDM Server when required to retrieve management information. The CDM graphical user interface (GUI) runs on the CDM client machine, which frees system resources on the CDM server machine to process network information.
The CDM client installation process installs the client software on the local machine, therefore you need not mount files across a network. Network traffic occurs only when the Client requires more data from the Server.
The 6260 CDM can be deployed in a number of different configurations, from a single hardware system, to a multi-site distributed management system, using Sun Solaris/SPARC hardware with Solaris, Release 2.6.
Atlantech recommends the following machine specifications:
Sun Ultra 60
1 CPU
256 MB RAM (512 MB recommended)
4GB disk + additional SCSI disk (internal or external)
17" Color monitor
In larger deployments with client-server configurations the recommended hardware specifications for typical client deployments are as follows:
Sun Ultra 5 workstation
128 MB RAM (256 MB recommended)
4GB disk
17" Color monitor.
For a small deployments (for example, trials), the typical Client and Server can run together on a single workstation. The minimum specification for this scenario is:
Sun Ultra 5 Workstation,
256MB RAM
4GB disk
17" Color monitor.
To configure an Ethernet port via a terminal Console:
Step 1 To set a privileged command password, proceed as follows:
Switch> enable
Switch# config terminal
Switch (config)# enable password <ENABLE PASSWORD>
Step 2 To configure the Ethernet management port on the NI2 card, proceed as follows:
Switch> enable
Password: <ENABLE PASSWORD>
Switch# config terminal
Switch (config)# interface Ethernet 0/0
Switch (config-if)# ip address <ADDRESS> <NETMASK>
Switch (config-if)# exit
Switch (config)# exit
Switch#
Ensure that the 10BaseT ethernet port on the NI2 is connected to the same network as the CDM Server.
Step 3 To configure the NI2 card to be SNMP manageable, proceed as follows:
Switch> enable
Password: <ENABLE PASSWORD>
Switch# config terminal
Switch (config)# snmp-server community <Read Only Community Name> ro
Switch (config)# snmp-server community <Read Write Community Name> rw
Switch (config)# snmp-server enable traps
Switch (config)# snmp-server host <ADDRESS>traps version 2c <Community Name>
Switch (config)# exit
Step 4 To configure the NI2 card to accept a telnet session, proceed as follows:
Connection Manager, telnet <IP ADDRESS OF DEVICE NI2>
Switch> enable
Password: <ENABLE PASSWORD>
Switch# config terminal
Switch (config)# line vty 0 4
Switch (config-line)# password <TELNET PASSWORD>
Switch (config-line)# login
Switch (config-line)# exit
Switch (config)# exit
Switch#
The 6260 CDM uses the AccessVision framework which requires a license key to operate. Information about how to obtain a license key are in the AccessVision User Guide, or you can contact the Cisco TAC Center for assistance.
To install software onto a system that does not have its own CD-ROM drive, mount the CD on the remote system and then export the device to make it accessible over the network. Both of these operations are done on the remote system with the CD-ROM drive. Then mount the remote CD on the local system where the installation is to take place.
Step 1 Insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive on the remote host.
Step 2 Log in as Superuser on the remote host and check that the Volume Manager is running:
Type /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep vold
If the Volume Manager is running, a message similar to the one shown below will be returned:
root 591 1 0 Feb 26 ? 0 :01 /usr/sbin/vold
If the Volume Manager is not running, start the Volume Manager as follows:
Type /etc/rc2.d/S92volmgt start
Step 3 On the remote host export the CD-ROM device as follows:
Start the NFS related daemons:
Type /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd 8
Type /usr/lib/nfs/mountd
Share the mount point from the remote host:
Type share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0
To verify that this host has made the CD-ROM drive accessible:
Type share
Step 4 Mount the remote CD-ROM on the local host where the installation is to take place:
Create a mount point if none exists already:
Type mkdir /mnt/AVmnt
Mount the remote directory:
Type mount <remote-host> : /cdrom/cdrom0 /mnt/AVmnt
The contents of the CD should now be listed under the /mnt/AVmnt mount point.
To install the CDM, proceed as follows:
Step 1 Login as the superuser.
Step 2 Insert the CDM CD-ROM. Change directory into the CD-ROM area:
Type cd /cdrom/cdrom0
Step 3 Run the install script ./avinstall
Step 4 If the Manager System has multiple network interfaces, you will be prompted to select the appropriate interface.
Step 5 The utility will now perform the appropriate installation. As each part of the installation takes place, various informational messages will be displayed as an output to the screen. Some will require user input. A simple yes/no answer will usually be required.
Step 6 Once the installation is complete, remove the CDM CD.
Step 7 If an AccessVision Manager was installed, to perform a dataload type <AVROOT>/bin/av start
<AVROOT>/bin/av dataload
to initialize the system.
Step 8 The CDM is now ready to use.
All CDM processes will be automatically stopped and deinstalled when the <avdeinstall> script is run.
Step 1 Log on to the machine with the CDM is installed.
Step 2 Log in as Superuser.
Step 3 Run the deinstallation script provided on the CD:
Type ./avinstall -r
You will be notified that the deinstallation is about to take place.
If you proceed with the de-installation the screen will scroll through the software being deleted and you will see the following message:
Removal of <package> was successful.
The CDM software is automatically started during system boot-up. To start this software at other times:
Step 1 Login as superuser.
Step 2 Type <AVROOT>/bin/av start
Step 3 The CDM processes will start.
The CDM software is stopped during system shut down. To stop this software at any other time:
Step 1 Quit any CDM Launchpad sessions running.
Step 2 Login a superuser.
Step 3 Type <AVROOT>/bin/av stop
Step 4 The CDM processes will stop.
To check the status of the CDM:
To start a client application (that is, the user GUI screens):
Step 1 Type <AVROOT>/bin/avsession.
CDM prompts you to enter a user name and a password. The default user name is admin and the default password is admin.
