This chapter provides procedures for installing the applications that make up ViewRunner for HP OpenView. In addition, this chapter describes how to download the most recent Cisco 6100 Series system software using the graphical user interface (GUI) now available in ViewRunner for HP OpenView.
ViewRunner for HP OpenView is the Element Management System (EMS) for the Cisco 6100 Series. It is built on the industry-leading Hewlett-Packard OpenView Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) system and uses an Oracle Relational Database Management System as an underlying data store.
ViewRunner for HP OpenView comprises three sets of applications.
A single workstation can support both server and client applications, and multiple workstations can be configured as clients to a single server. The diagrams shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 illustrate the configurations supported by this release of ViewRunner for HP OpenView. Table 1-1 summarizes the operating system versions, HP OpenView versions, and Oracle versions that are supported with this release.
| Solaris 2.6 |
|---|---|
| HPOV 5.01 |
Oracle 7.3.2 | no |
Oracle 7.3.3 | no |
