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:
This section provides a procedure for upgrading from CWSI Campus 2.1 or 2.2 to CWSI Campus 2.3. Before upgrading, consider the following:
To upgrade to CWSI Campus 2.3, follow these steps:
Step 1 Close all CWSI Campus windows before upgrading and reinstalling CWSI Campus. Otherwise, the install process aborts while trying to overwrite files that are in use.
Step 2 Start the install process using the installation guide.
The install process looks for any previous CWSI Campus installation and its version.
Step 3 You are prompted to confirm that you want to save the database and the data files. If you click No, these 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 into this directory. These files 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 components that are installed (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 the possible incompatibility with the shared device files. You must select the previously installed packages in addition to the new packages.
Step 4 Reinstall and select all optional CWSI Campus components (TrafficDirector and AtmDirector) that were installed previously.
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 asynchronous network interface (ANI), which runs as a server process and exchanges information with other CWSI Campus applications running as clients. Each ANI server is intended to manage a single domain. Therefore, if you install another copy of CWSI Campus configured with the same ANI server name (the default is <Hostname>AniServer) in your network, unpredictable behavior might result depending on which ANI server the client chooses as its default ANI server.
If you want to install another copy of CWSI Campus to manage another domain, you must manually configure your systems to run separate ANI server processes. To configure your systems, follow these steps:
Step 1 Close all CWSI Campus applications.
Step 2 Run the stopcwsiserver script (see the section "Stopping and Starting CWSI Campus Processes").
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 ANI server process running on your local workstation:
AniServer = <Hostname>AniServer
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 the section "Stopping and Starting CWSI Campus Processes").
To install CWSI Campus, follow these steps:
Step 1 Ensure that you have installed all prerequisite software as described in the previous section, "Preparing To Install CWSI Campus."
Step 2 Close all applications.
Step 3 Insert the CWSI Campus CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Step 4 Launch Windows NT Explorer.
Step 5 Double-click the CD-ROM drive icon.
Step 6 Double-click the setup.exe icon.
The Welcome window opens.
Step 7 Click Next.
The Software License Agreement window opens.
Step 8 Click Yes.
The User Information window opens.
Step 9 Enter your name and company.
Step 10 Click Next.
The Select Installation Option window opens.
Step 11 Select one of the following Network Management System (NMS) integration options:
Step 12 Click Next.
The Device Installation window opens.
Step 13 Select one or more devices to be installed.
Step 14 Click OK.
The Select Components window opens.
Step 15 Select one or both of the following optional components to be installed:
Step 16 Click Next.
The Choose Folder Destination window opens with a default destination (c:\cwsi) folder already entered.
Step 17 Accept the default destination, or enter the directory in which you want to install CWSI Campus by clicking Browse.
Step 18 Click Next.
The Choose Database Destination window opens with a default destination (c:\cwsi\db\data) folder already entered.
Step 19 Accept the default destination, or enter the directory in which you want to install CWSI Campus by clicking Browse.
Step 20 Click Next.
The Enter Information window opens.
Step 21 Enter the IP address or name of a seed device.
Step 22 Click Next.
Enter an ANI server name (for example, <Hostname>AniServer).
Step 23 Click Next.
The Select Program Folder window opens with a default destination folder (CWSI 2.3) already entered.
Step 24 Accept the default program folder, enter a new folder name, or select a folder from the list of existing folders.
Step 25 Click Next.
The Installation Window opens and indicates the percentage of the program that has been successfully installed. When the program installation is complete, the devices you selected are installed.
If you elected to install TrafficDirector, you are prompted to choose either Microsoft SQL or Embedded SQL database for data logging. The default setting is Microsoft SQL.
Step 26 Click Next to continue with the installation. See the chapter "Configuring SQL Servers for Reporting" in Using the Campus TrafficDirector Application that shipped with your TrafficDirector application for additional information.
The Setup Complete window opens.
Step 27 If the read community strings in your network are different from the default "public," you must edit the communities file before starting CWSI Campus and discovering your network. The file is named communities.dat and is located in the <CWSIROOT>\etc\cwsi directory.
Step 28 Select one of the following options:
Step 29 Click Finish to complete the CWSI Campus installation.
Step 30 Reboot your system for the installation to take effect.
If CWSI Campus is already running, select Edit > SNMP Communities from the CWSI Campus Map. Click the Rediscover Map icon on the toolbar to rediscover your network after changing the community strings.
If CWSI Campus is not running, you can use any system editor to edit the community string file in the <CWSIROOT>\etc\cwsi directory.
Microsoft SQL 6.0 is required if you are using the TrendReporter utility in the CWSI Campus TrafficDirector application. For information about installing and configuring an SQL server, see the "Configuring SQL Servers" subsection in the "Configuring and Generating Reports" chapter of the Using the Campus TrafficDirector Application publication.
Start CWSI Campus from the Windows NT Start menu or from your network management application. From the Windows NT Start menu, select Start > Programs > CWSI 2.3 >
Start CWSI.
The login username parameter is ignored, but the server name must remain as it appears. This login is used to register CWSI Campus as a client of ANI (the default is <Hostname>AniServer). The interprocess communication is done through CORBA.
ANI begins the discovery process immediately after rebooting while the system is initializing. ANI runs as one of the daemons required for the correct operation of CWSI Campus. The initial discovery process might take up to 5 minutes (longer for a very large network) to complete.
If you attempt to log in to the CWSI Campus application before the CWSI Campus deamons have fully initialized and registered with the CORBA agent, an error occurs. To resolve this, wait a few minutes until the daemons have initialized, and then log in again.
To start the CWSI Campus applications from the CWSI Campus map window, select
Tools > application name, or click the appropriate icon on the toolbar.
You can also start TrafficDirector and CiscoView in the following ways:
To start UserTracking, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the Windows NT Start menu, select Start > Programs >
CWSI 2.3 > Start UserTracking.
Or from the CWSI Campus map window, select Tools > UserTracking or click the UserTracking icon on the tool bar.
Step 2 Select Action > Discover > End-User Nodes to start discovery.
Wait a few minutes until a message indicates that discovery has completed.
Step 3 To display the end-user nodes discovered in the network, select Action > Display > All Entries.
If your network is very large, you might want to create a query for UserTracking so that you do not have to display all the users at once. To limit the size of the table displayed, see the Using the Campus UserTracking Application publication for more information about creating queries.
You can select and start both TrafficDirector and CiscoView from HP OpenView Network Node manager. The additional CWSI Campus functions, including the CWSI Campus topology mapping services, VlanDirector, AtmDirector, and UserTracking must be started from the CWSI Campus Network Map, which is launched from Windows NT as part of the normal start-up procedures for CWSI Campus.
TrafficDirector and CiscoView are device-focused applications and are easily started from HP OpenView based upon the device discovery process within HP OpenView. The additional CWSI Campus functions require more detailed network-wide topology data than HP OpenView provides. The CWSI Campus discovery and database services must be running for these additional applications to function, which makes it necessary to start these from the main CWSI Campus window.
You can control the CWSI Campus processes using command-line scripts; however, you must log in as administrator. To enter command-line scripts for stopping and restarting CWSI Campus processes, follow these steps:
Step 1 Stop the CWSI Campus client by closing the CWSI Campus Topology window.
Step 2 Open a command prompt.
Step 3 Enter the following command to stop the CWSI Campus processes.
# stopcwsiserver
When the prompt returns, all daemons have been stopped.
Step 4 Enter the following command to start the CWSI Campus processes.
# startcwsiserver
Wait until the prompt returns.
You can uninstall CWSI Campus if necessary. Before uninstalling CWSI Campus, close all CWSI Campus windows.
To uninstall CWSI Campus, select Start > Programs > CWSI 2.3 > Uninstall CWSI from the start menu.
After uninstalling CWSI Campus, some directories and files might remain. If this is the case, delete these directories and files manually. If you are unable to delete them, and the message "the file is in use" appears, reboot your system. You should then be able to delete the files.
