Installing Cisco Secure Scanner for Solaris

This chapter describes the procedures for installing, licensing, and starting and stopping Cisco Secure Scanner for Solaris (formerly sold as NetSonar).

This chapter includes the following sections:

• System Requirements

• Installing the Scanner

• Starting and Stopping the Scanner

• Other Scanner Commands

• Uninstalling the Scanner

System Requirements

Cisco recommends specific minimum hardware, software, and operating system requirements for the machine on which you plan to install the Scanner. Before you install the Scanner, verify that your machine meets the minimum requirements listed in Table 3-1. Contact your system administrator if your machine does not meet all of the following minimum requirements.

Table 3-1: Minimum System Requirements

Hardware	Sun SPARC 5 Common Desktop Environment (CDE) Pentium 266 MHz PC CD-ROM drive TCP/IP network interface Screen resolution of 800 x 600 or greater
Operating systems	Solaris 2.6 and 2.7
Sun OS patches: http://www.sun.com/solaris/java	For SPARC: Java 2 SDK/JDK for Solaris 1.2.1_02, Solaris/SPARC Patches for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 For x86: Java 2 SDK/JDK for Solaris 1.2.1_02, Solaris/Intel Patches for Solaris 2.6 and 2.7
Software	Netscape Navigator 3.0 or later Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or later
JAVA	JDK 1.2.1_02
Disk space	40 MB for temporary install files 20 MB for application (includes JDK) 100 MB for Scanner session data 320 MB swap space
Memory	64 MB (96 MB recommended)
User privileges	root

Installing the Scanner

Caution Version 2.0 of Cisco Secure Scanner for Solaris is not compatible with previous versions of NetSonar for Solaris. Do not uninstall NetSonar versions 1.0 or 1.0.1 if you want to be able to view stored grid data.

Follow these steps to install the Scanner:

Step 1 Log on as user root.

Step 2 Insert the Cisco Secure Scanner CD in the CD-ROM drive.

Step 3 Mount the Cisco Secure Scanner CD.

If volume management is running, the CD-ROM filesystem is mounted automatically.

(a) To verify that the CD was mounted automatically, type:

ls /cdrom/ scanner

(b) If the Scanner directory does not exist or does not contain the Scanner package, type the following command to manually mount the Cisco Secure Scanner CD:

mount -F hsfs -r /dev/ dsk/ c0t6d0s0 /cdrom

(c) If volume management is running, type this command:

/cdrom/ scanner/ cssInstall

(d) If the Cisco Secure Scanner CD was manually mounted, type the following commands:

cd /cdrom

./ cssInstall

Step 4 The Install program uncompresses and untars the Scanner files.

The Software License Agreement appears on screen.

Step 5 Press Return to accept it.

The Install program copies files, creates directories, creates users and groups, and installs the JAVA JRE.

---

Note The Scanner Install program will not overwrite any other versions of JAVA on your machine, because it installs the necessary JAVA package in usr/css/java.

---

Step 6 Type y to delete redundant files in /tmp/scanner/WGCSonar.

The redundant files are the result of the installation process.

The Install program checks the swap file space. If you do not have enough swap space, the Install program informs you.

Starting and Stopping the Scanner

This section includes the following topics:

• Starting the Scanner

• Stopping the Scanner

The Scanner consists of the Scanner Client (the GUI) and the Scanner Server (the daemon). When you start the Scanner Client, the Server starts automatically. When you close the Client, the Server closes automatically. Thus, if you have any scans scheduled to run when the GUI is closed, they will not run. To have all scheduled scans run regardless of whether the GUI is running or not, you need to have the Server configured to run as a background daemon. See Step 2 in "Starting the Scanner" for instructions on how to configure the Scanner Server to run in the background at all times.

Starting the Scanner

Follow these steps to start the Scanner:

Step 1 Type:

bin/scanner

This action launches the GUI and the Server.

Step 2 To have the Scanner run in the background as a daemon, type:

cd /etc/rc2.d

Step 3 Type:

(a) vi S99scanner

(b) Uncomment the last two lines in the file.

Now, whenever UNIX is booted, the Scanner Server will start in the background and run even when the GUI is closed. Then all scheduled scans will occur as planned.

Stopping the Scanner

Follow these steps to stop the Scanner:

Step 1 On the File menu, click Exit.

This closes the GUI and the Server, unless you have configured the Server to run as a background daemon.

Step 2 To stop the Server (if you have it running as a background daemon), type:

scanner stop

Step 3 To determine the status of any Scanner component, type the following command:

scanner status

Other Scanner Commands

Table 3-2 lists other useful commands for the Scanner.

Table 3-2: Scanner Commands

Command	Description
scanner start	Starts the Scanner Server
scanner stop	Stops the Scanner Server
scanner status	Shows whether the Scanner is running
scanner system	Displays local system resources
scanner ping	Checks to see if the Scanner server is running

Uninstalling the Scanner

Follow these steps to uninstall the Scanner:

Step 1 If you have not already done so, log on as user root.

Step 2 Run the Scanner uninstall utility by typing:

/tmp/ cssUninstall

Step 3 Choose the package(s) that you want to remove (this should be option
number 1--- All Scanner Packages).

Step 4 A list of packages to be removed will be displayed. Type y to continue.

Step 5 The removal status for each package appears on the screen. Read the information and press Enter to continue.
