Before you install CWSI Campus, make sure your system has been set up properly. To set up your system, perform the following procedures in the sequence noted:
1. Verifying System Requirements
4. Upgrading Previous Versions of CWSI Campus or CWSI
5. Using Multiple Copies of CWSI Campus
6. Installing Resource Manager Essentials
7. Determining Your Seed Device
For complete system and network requirements, see the chapter "Before You Begin."
Install the browser that you will be using, if you have not already installed it. Launch the browser at least once to confirm the license registration. Make sure that you note the browser location. The install program will need the full executable pathname.
If you use SunNet Manager (SNM), save your SNM maps before installing CWSI Campus.
If a previous version of CWSI Campus or CWSI is installed, you might want to remove it. This step is optional. Reinstalling or upgrading CWSI Campus without removing previous versions will give you the option of preserving the CWSI database and data files.
To remove previous versions of CWSI Campus or CWSI, you must log in as root. Enter the uninstall command as follows:
# /opt/CSCOcwsi/bin/uninstall.sh
After uninstalling CWSI Campus, some directories and files might remain. If this is the case, delete these directories and files manually.
If you plan to install multiple copies of CWSI Campus on your network, you should be aware of how the CWSI Campus discovery process works in this environment.
The discovery process uses ANI, which runs as a server process and exchanges information with other CWSI Campus applications running as clients. Each ANIServer is intended to manage a single domain. Therefore, if you install another copy of CWSI Campus configured with the same ANIServer name (AniServer by default) in your network, unpredictable behavior might result depending on which ANI server the client chooses as its default ANIServer.
Depending on the available system resources on your initial CWSI Campus system, using the wrong ANI Server may result in poor system performance of all CWSI Campus systems that are accessing and using the resources of the default ANIServer.
If you want to install another copy of CWSI Campus to manage another domain, you must manually configure your systems to run separate ANIServer processes. To configure your systems, follow these steps:
Step 1 Close all CWSI Campus applications.
Step 2 Run the stopcwsiserver script (see "Stopping and Starting CWSI Campus Processes" in Getting Started with CWSI Campus).
Step 3 Locate and open the ani.properties file with a text editor.
The ani.properties file is located in the <CWSIROOT>/etc/cwsi/directory, where <CWSIROOT> is the directory in which you installed CWSI Campus.
Step 4 Change the following line to rename the ANIServer process running on your local workstation:
AniServer = AniServer_Name
For example, if you just installed a Solaris version of CWSI Campus, you could rename the ANIServer to SOLAniServer.
Step 5 After making these changes, save the file and close your text editor.
Step 6 Run the startcwsiserver script (see "Stopping and Starting CWSI Campus Processes" in Getting Started with CWSI Campus).
Install the Essentials application using the CD provided. Follow the instructions provided in the chapter "Installing Essentials."
During the installation, you will be prompted for a seed device. The seed device is the device from which you start the discovery process. The seed device can be any Cisco device with the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) enabled (for example, a Catalyst 5000 series switch) and a valid read Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) community strings.
The seed device you select during the CWSI Campus installation determines whether the product operates correctly. Verify that the seed device meets the following requirements before installing CWSI Campus:
For LANE discovery to work, specific software versions are needed, as listed in Table 3-2.
| Device | Version |
|---|---|
LightStream 1010 switch | Cisco IOS Release 11.2(8) |
Cisco routers | Cisco IOS Release 11.2(10) |
Catalyst 5000 series switches | NMP (2.4.3)/ATM 3.2(5) |
Catalyst 3000 series switches | 2.2(2) |
For Token Ring switching to work, specific software versions are needed, as listed in Table 3-3.
| Device | Version |
|---|---|
Catalyst 3900 Main | 3.0(2) |
Catalyst 3900 ATM | 1.2(3) |
Catalyst 5000 Supervisor Module | 3.2(1b) |
Catalyst 5000 TokenRing Module | 3.2(1) |
Catalyst 5000 ATM Line Module | 70.1(1) |
When CiscoView is installed during the CWSI Campus installation, you will be prompted to select the device packages (.pkg files) you need based on the devices you plan to use. Make sure you know the types of devices you plan on using and managing in your network.
To install CWSI Campus:
Step 1 Become superuser by entering su and the root password at the command prompt, or log in as root.
Step 2 Insert the CWSI Campus CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Step 3 If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create it:
# mkdir /cdrom
The CD-ROM is automatically mounted into the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory. If you are running File Manager, a separate File Manager window displays the contents of the CD-ROM.
Step 4 Enter the following commands:
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0 # ./setup.sh
Step 5 You are prompted to select the optional components that you want to install.
1 CSCOtd5 TrafficDirector for Solaris (sparc) 5.x 2 CSCOatmd AtmDirector for Solaris (sparc) 2.x Select optional components you wish to install (all/none/q)? [all]:

Step 7 Enter y to agree to the terms of the copyright.
Step 8 Enter information or press Return for the default response (in square brackets) to the following requests:
Enter product location (PKGROOT): [/opt/CSCOcwsi] Enter database location: [/opt/CSCOcwsi/db/data] Enter seed device name or IP address: Enter full netscape browser executable pathname:
The values you enter or confirm are displayed.
Step 9 Enter y to accept these values.
As the installation proceeds, filenames for the CWSI Campus, CiscoView, TrafficDirector, and AtmDirector applications are displayed as they are installed. Each application takes approximately 10 minutes to install, depending on your system configuration.
Other prompts appear depending on which application you have chosen to install. Refer to the following sections for specific instructions about installing these applications.
When installing CiscoView, you will see the following prompt:
CWSI detected in /opt/CSCOcwsi Installing CiscoView in /opt/CSCOcwsi. Files installed will belong to user: bin group: bin Use this owner and group (y/n)? [y]
To install CiscoView:
Step 1 Note that the default installation process installs CiscoView in the /opt/CSCOcwsi directory with the user and group both set to bin. Press Return or enter y to accept the default or enter n to change the directory and the user or group members.
Step 2 At the prompt, enter the number corresponding to the device file you want to install. To install all the CiscoView device files, press Return or enter y.
Step 3 Enter y to display the current CiscoView release notes after installing CiscoView.
A summary of your responses is displayed before you confirm the CiscoView installation.
Step 4 Enter y if the summary is correct. If you need to change anything, enter n to return to the CiscoView configuration prompts and change the responses you entered.
If other components can be installed, the following menu reappears:
1 CSCOtd5 TrafficDirector for Solaris (sparc) 5.x 2 CSCOatmd AtmDirector for Solaris (sparc) 2.x Select optional components you wish to install (all/none/q)? [all]:
Step 5 Select another component or enter q to exit from the menu. If you select another component, refer to the "Installing TrafficDirector and AtmDirector" section.
The TrafficDirector and AtmDirector applications are optional components. If you choose to install the TrafficDirector and AtmDirector applications, these components are installed automatically in the /opt/CSCOcwsi directory.
If other components can be installed, the following menu reappears:
1 CSCOtd5 TrafficDirector for Solaris (sparc) 5.x 2 CSCOatmd AtmDirector for Solaris (sparc) 2.x Select optional components you wish to install (all/none/q)? [all]:
Select another component or enter q to exit from the menu.
To complete your installation, follow these steps:
Step 1 Remove the CD-ROM and store it in a safe place.
Step 2 The /tmp/cwsinstall.log file contains information for the CiscoView, TrafficDirector, and AtmDirector applications. Be sure to save this file to help you troubleshoot future installation problems.
If the read community strings in your network are different from the default "public," you will need to edit the communities file (communities.dat) after installing and before starting CWSI Campus and discovering your network. The communities file is named communities.dat and is located in the install directory/etc/cwsi directory. For more information, see Getting Started with CWSI Campus.
Start CWSI Campus using the following startup command:
# /opt/CSCOcwsi/bin/cwsi
Start the VlanDirector, AtmDirector, UserTracking, TrafficDirector, and CiscoView applications from the main CWSI Campus topology window.
If you have not installed a particular component (such as AtmDirector), that option is not available in the main CWSI Campus menu.
To remove CWSI Campus, you must log in as root. Enter the uninstall command as follows:
# /opt/CSCOcwsi/bin/uninstall.sh
The default CWSI Campus install directory is /opt/CSCOcwsi. If you installed CWSI Campus and its applications in a different directory, enter that directory instead.
To add new devices to CiscoView, access Cisco Connection Online (CCO). Instructions on how to download additional devices for CiscoView using the cvinstall command are available on CCO or on the anonymous ftp server in the Network Management section of the Software Center. These instructions are also included in CiscoView Incremental Installation Quick Reference, which is on the Documentation CD.
To incrementally add device support from CCO, follow these steps:
Step 1 If you installed CiscoView in a directory other than /opt/CSCOcwsi, use that directory name in this procedure.
Step 2 Download the device package files from CCO into the cv_pkgs directory.
Step 3 For CCO packages, untar the package by entering the following command:
# tar -xvf tar_filename
Step 4 Set your NMSROOT environment variable, as follows:
# setenv NMSROOT /opt/CSCOcwsi
Step 5 Go to the cv_pkgs directory by entering the following command:
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/cv_pkgs
Step 6 To install the package, log in as root and enter the following command:
$NMSROOT/bin/cvinstall device_name.pkg
