Preparing To Install CWSI Campus

Before installing CWSI Campus, you need to make sure your system has been set up properly. Perform the steps in the following sequence:

    1. Verifying System and Network Requirements

    2. Installing Your Browser

    3. Removing Previous Versions of CWSI Campus

    4. Installing Resource Manager Essentials

    5. Determining Your Seed Device

    6. Determining Which CiscoView Device Packages To Install

    7. Installing CWSI Campus

Verifying System and Network Requirements

For CWSI Campus system and network requirements, see the chapter "Before You Begin."

Installing Your Browser

Install the browser that you will be using, if you have not already installed it. Be sure to launch the browser at least once to confirm the license registration before starting CWSI Campus help.

Removing Previous Versions of CWSI Campus

If a previous version of CWSI Campus 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, use the uninstall command as follows:

# cd /
# /usr/CSCOcwsi/bin/uninstall.sh
 

Installing Resource Manager Essentials

Install the Essentials application using the CD provided. Follow the instructions in the chapter "Installing Essentials."


Note Make sure your system meets the software requirements necessary for successfully installing and running the Essentials application. CWSI Campus will not install unless all of its prerequisite software in the Essentials application is installed.

Determining Your Seed Device

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 switch) and a valid read SNMP community string.

If you have an ATM network, you need to select a LightStream 1010 switch as the seed device for the discovery. The LightStream 1010 switch should be located near a Catalyst 5000 switch on the network. This configuration allows the LAN Emulation (LANE) components to be properly discovered using Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI).

For LANE discovery to work, the software versions shown in Table 3-2 are needed on these devices.


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)

Software Versions for LANE Discovery

The seed device you supply during the CWSI Campus installation is required for the product to operate correctly. Verify that the seed device meets the following requirements before you install CWSI Campus:

Determining Which CiscoView Device Packages To Install

During the CiscoView installation portion of 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.

Upgrading to CWSI Campus 2.3

This section provides a procedure for upgrading from CWSI Campus 2.2 to CWSI Campus 2.3 and reinstalling CWSI Campus 2.3. Before upgrading, consider the following:

To upgrade to CWSI Campus 2.3, follow these steps:

Step 1 Close all applications and CWSI Campus windows. Stop all CiscoWorks2000 processes by entering the following command:

    # /etc/rc.dmgtd stop
     
    

Otherwise, the installation process aborts while trying to overwrite files that are in use.

Step 2 Start the installation process using the procedure in the section "Installing CWSI Campus".

The installation process looks for any previous CWSI Campus installation and its version.

Step 3 You are prompted to confirm that you want to preserve the database and the data files. If you click No, these data files are overwritten. If you click Yes, a backup directory is created under the CWSI Campus installation directory.

The CWSI Campus database (cwsi.db) and the data files (ani.properties, atmd.properties, and communities.dat) are copied back to their original locations when the installation is complete.

The system displays information about the previous installation of CWSI: the installation folder, the database folder, the seed device, and the installed components (CiscoView, TrafficDirector, and AtmDirector), if any.

The CiscoView devices directory is deleted to allow you to install the latest version of the device packages and avoid any possible incompatibility with the shared device files.

Step 4 Reinstall the optional CWSI Campus components (Traffic Director, AtmDirector, and CiscoView) that were installed previously. When prompted to reinstall, selecting All reinstalls all components; selecting None reinstalls CWSI Campus and CiscoView and uninstalls Traffic Director.

Step 5 Restart the CiscoWorks2000 processes by entering the following command:

    # /etc/rc.dmgtd start
     
    

Installing CWSI Campus

You can install CWSI Campus on a local disk or on a network-mounted Network File System (NFS) disk to which you have root access. Follow the instructions in this section to install CWSI Campus and to set paths and environments.


Note You can terminate the installation by pressing Ctrl-C. If you terminate before the installation is complete, you must begin the installation again at Step 1.

To install CWSI Campus, follow these steps:

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 Mount the CWSI Campus CD-ROM by entering the following command:

    # /usr/sbin/mount -r -v cdrfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom
    

Step 4 Enter the following commands:

    # cd /cdrom
    # ./setup.sh
    

Step 5 You are prompted to select the optional components that you want to install.

    1	CSCOtd		TrafficDirector
    2	CSCOatmd		AtmDirector
     
    Select optional components you wish to install ('all' or 'none' to install all or none of these components). (default: all) [q]:
    

Step 6 Enter the appropriate option, then press Return.

Step 7 Enter information or press Return for the default response (in square brackets) to the following questions:

    Enter seed device name or IP address:
    Enter full netscape browser executable pathname:
    Enter TCP port number to use for DB: [8000]
    

The values you enter or confirm are displayed.

Step 8 Enter y to accept these values.

As the installation proceeds, the number of files restored at each stage for the CWSI Campus, CiscoView, TrafficDirector, and AtmDirector applications is displayed as the files are installed. Each application takes approximately 15 minutes to install, depending on your system configuration.

Installing CiscoView

At the prompt, enter the number corresponding to the device files you want to install. To install all the device files, press Return.

Installing TrafficDirector and AtmDirector

If you chose to install the TrafficDirector and AtmDirector applications, they are installed automatically in the /usr/CSCOcwsi directory.

Completing the Installation

The cwsiinstall.log file contains information for the CSWI Campus, CiscoView, TrafficDirector, and AtmDirector applications. Be sure to save this file to help you troubleshoot future installation problems.

Verifying Your SNMP Community Strings

If the Read community strings in your network are different from the default "public," you will need to edit the communities file after installing and before starting CWSI Campus and discovering your network. The communities file is named communities.dat and is located in the /usr/CSCOcwsi/etc/cwsi directory.

Installing Additional Software

Several of the CWSI Campus applications require additional software, which can be installed after the CWSI Campus installation.

Starting CWSI Campus

Launch CWSI Campus using the following startup command:

/usr/CSCOcwsi/bin/cwsi
 

After installing CWSI Campus 2.3, wait approximately 5 minutes before starting the product. If you attempt to start the product too soon, the following error message is displayed:

osagent could not find the object object_name.
ANI server
 

Click OK, wait a few minutes, and then start the product again. This error does not affect product operation.

Launch the VlanDirector, AtmDirector, UserTracking, TrafficDirector, and CiscoView applications from the main CWSI Campus window.

Removing CWSI Campus

Before uninstalling CWSI Campus, close all CWSI Campus windows and log in as root.

To uninstall CWSI Campus, enter the following commands:

# cd /usr/CSCOcwsi/bin/
# ./uninstall.sh
 

Replace /usr with the appropriate installation directory, if it is different from the default (/usr).


Note You must remove CWSI Campus before you remove Essentials.

After you uninstall CWSI Campus, some directories and files might remain. In that case, delete these directories and files manually. If you cannot delete them, and the message "the file is in use" appears, reboot your machine. You should then be able to delete the remaining files.

Although TrafficDirector and CiscoView are standalone products, they cannot be uninstalled separately from the CWSI Campus package because they share components with CWSI Campus.

Adding New Device Support for CiscoView

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 Download the device package files from CCO into the cv_pkgs directory.

Step 2 Untar the package by entering the following command:

    # tar -xvf tar_filename
    

Step 3 Set your NMSROOT environment variable, as follows:

    # setenv NMSROOT /usr/CSCOcwsi
    

Step 4 Go to the cv_pkgs directory by entering the following command:

    # cd /cdrom/cv_pkgs
    

Step 5 To install the package, log in as root and enter the following command:

    $NMSROOT/bin/cvinstall device_name.pkg
