This guide details how to install and uninstall the Cisco Digital Subscriber Line Manager (CDM) Version 3.0 application. Deployment options are described, and system requirements for different installations are specified. Details about setting up and administering a CDM workstation are included.
 |
Note Cisco does not support Cisco EMF and CDM running on the same machine as ViewRunner for HP OpenView. If you are installing CDM on a Sun UNIX server that is currently running ViewRunner for HP OpenView, you must uninstall ViewRunner and HP OpenView or close HP OpenView and disable it from starting before you install Cisco EMF and CDM Release 3.0. If you do not uninstall or disable these applications, the system attempts to start both HP OpenView and Cisco EMF/CDM when it boots. If this happens, traps sent from your DSLAMs are not processed by CDM. HP OpenView must not be running when Cisco EMF is running. |
The CDM can be deployed in a distributed manner to utilize the power of multiple machines. Two types of deployment are available:
|
Note To install the CDM Release 3.0 Manager package, the Cisco Element Management Framework (EMF) must be running. If you choose to install the CDM Release 3.0 Manager package, the installation software displays the message "Incompatible type C" next to any option you should not attempt to install. |
Each CDM deployment must have a CDM server installed. Processes on the CDM server keep record the current state of the network model, user access, events, and so on.
When you use the installation script cemfinstall to install the Cisco EMF, you are prompted to install the Object Store database. You should accept the option to install the Object Store database system on your machine.
|
Note The server supports all client application graphical user interfaces (GUIs). |
A CDM deployment may be configured with the client installation on separate workstations which 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 as required to retrieve management information. The CDM 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, which means that you do not need to mount files across a network. Network traffic occurs only if the client requires more data from the server.
|
Note The CDM server installation process also installs all of the files required to establish a client-to-server session on a single machine. Therefore, you can install the entire CDM system including both server and client, on the same machine. You can then install the client on additional machines as required. |
You can deploy CDM in a number of different configurations, from a single hardware system to a multisite distributed management system, using Sun Solaris/SPARC hardware with Solaris, Release 2.6. Machine specifications are detailed in the following sections.
For a small site, consider the following machine specifications:
At a minimum, the server machine must meet the following requirements:
We recommend that the server machine meets the following requirements:
For a large site, consider the following machine specifications:
At a minimum, the server for a large site must meet the following requirements:
We recommend that the server machine meets the following requirements:
In large deployments with client-server configurations, the recommended hardware specifications for typical client deployments are as follows:
It is useful to have a Sun color card (for example, 24-bit color) if many graphically intensive applications are also run on this workstation.
The CDM software communicates with a Cisco DSLAM by transmitting SNMP messages from the Sun workstation on which CDM resides through the Ethernet port on the NI-2 card of the DSLAM.
To configure an Ethernet port using a terminal console:
Switch> enable Switch# config terminal Switch (config)# enable password <ENABLE PASSWORD>
Step 2 Configure the Ethernet management port on the NI-2 card:
Switch> enable Password: <ENABLE PASSWORD> Switch# config terminal Switch (config)# interface Ethernet 0/0 Switch (config-if)# ip address <ADDRESS> <NETMASK>
|
Note When you configure the IP address, you can issue the command no shutdown to ensure that the Ethernet port is not shut down. |
Switch (config-if)# exit Switch (config)# exit Switch#
Ensure that the 10BaseT Ethernet port on the NI-2 card is connected to the same network as the CDM server.
|
Note The Ultra 60 running the CDM should now be able to ping the NI-2 card. |
Step 3 Configure the NI-2 card to be SNMP manageable:
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>
|
Note Substitute ADDRESS above with the IP address of the manager server where Cisco EMF is installed. |
Switch (config)# exit
|
Note The read-only and read-write community strings on the NI-2 must match the read-only and read-write community strings used when you deploy the NI-2 in CDM. |
Step 4 Configure the NI-2 card to accept a Telnet session:
Connection Manager, telnet <IP ADDRESS OF DEVICE NI-2> 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#
|
Note To confirm that Telnet is enabled this after you configure the Ethernet port, type telnet <ADDRESS> from the Ultra 60 running the CDM. |
The CDM uses the Cisco EMF framework, which requires a license key to operate. For information about obtaining a license key, refer to the Cisco Element Manager User Guide, or contact the Cisco TAC Center for assistance.
Before you run CDM, you must either uninstall ViewRunner and HP OpenView or disable ViewRunner and HP OpenView from starting.
To disable the applications from starting, follow these steps:
Enter remove /etc/rc2.d/S85vrdb Enter remove /etc/rc2.d86vr4hpov
Step 2 To disable HP OpenView:
Enter chmod -x /opt/OV/bin/ovstart
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 performed on the remote system using a CD-ROM drive. Then, mount the remote CD on the local system on which the installation is to take place.
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 following appears:
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 by typing:
/usr/lib/nfs/nfsd 8 /usr/lib/nfs/mountd
Share the mount point from the remote host by typing:
share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0
To verify that this host has made the CD-ROM drive accessible by typing:
share
|
Note The displayed list should include the /cdrom mount point. |
Step 4 Mount the remote CD-ROM on the local host to which the installation is to take place:
Create a mount point if none exists already by typing:
mkdir /mnt/cemfmnt
Mount the remote directory by typing:
mount <remote-host> : /cdrom/cdrom0 /mnt/cemfmnt
|
Note Replace remote host with the host name of the remote device. |
The contents of the CD are now listed under the /mnt/cemfmnt mount point.
To install the CDM, proceed as follows:
|
Note Cisco EMF (Release 3.0 or later) must already be installed and running before you attempt to install the CDM software. |
Step 2 If Cisco EMF is not running, type the following:
host# <CEMF_ROOT>/bin/cemf start
Replace CEMF_ROOT with the directory on which Cisco EMF is installed. The Cisco EMF processes start.
Step 3 Insert the CDM CD-ROM. Change directory into the CD-ROM area by typing:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0
Step 4 Run the install script ./cemfinstall.
Two menu options appear. Select one of the following installation options:
The CDM software is automatically installed into the CEMF_ROOT directory.
Step 5 If the Manager System has multiple network interfaces, you are prompted to select the appropriate interface.
Step 6 The utility performs the appropriate installation. As each part of the installation takes place, informational messages appear. Some messages may require user input, or yes or no.
For example, if an error occurs during installation, the installation processes stops. Before the installation process stops, you are prompted to remove any software installed up to that time.
Step 7 After the installation is complete, remove the CDM CD.
The CDM is now ready to use.
All CDM processes are automatically stopped and uninstalled when you run the cemfdeinstall script.
Step 2 Make sure that Cisco EMF is running (refer to step 2 above in the "Installing the CDM Using cemfinstall" section .)
Step 3 Run the de-installation script provided on the CD by typing:
./cemfinstall -r
|
Note You must run ./cemfinstall -r from the same directory from which you performed the installation. Therefore, if you did not copy the contents of the CD to the hard drive on the SUN workstation, you may need to insert the CD. |
Choose one of the following uninstallation options:
You are prompted that the uninstallation is about to take place.
If you proceed with the uninstallation, the screen scrolls through the software being deleted and the following message appears:
Removal of <package> was successful.
When you start a Cisco EMF user session, CDM is automatically started at the same time. To begin a Cisco EMF user session, perform the following steps:
Step 2 If you have not started Cisco EMF, type the following:
<CEMF_ROOT>/bin/cemf start
Replace CEMF_ROOT with the directory on which Cisco EMF is installed. If Cisco EMF is already started, go to step 3.
Step 3 To start a Cisco EMF user session, type the following:
<CEMF_ROOT>/bin/cemf session
Replace CEMF_ROOT with the directory on which Cisco EMF is installed.
|
Note You must invoke the cemf start command on the Client workstation before you try to start the client application. |
Step 4 Cisco EMF prompts you to enter a user name and a password. The default user name is admin and the default password is admin.
The Cisco EMF and CDM processes start.
When you stop Cisco EMF, you also stop the CDM software. To stop this software, perform the following steps:
Step 2 Log in as superuser.
Step 3 Type:
<CEMF_ROOT>/bin/cemf stop
Replace CEMF_ROOT with the directory on which Cisco EMF is installed.
The Cisco EMF and CDM processes stop.
To check the status of Cisco EMF, perform the following steps:
<CEMF_ROOT>/bin/cemf query
If Cisco EMF is active, a list of running processes appear. If Cisco EMF is not active, message Cisco EMF system not running appears.
Step 2 When you run a cemf query, check to be sure the process cdmController is running. If this process is not running, CDM may not have installed correctly. You may need to reinstall CDM.
