CD Two is the Inventory application of Resource Manager Essentials (Essentials) Version 3.1. When you install CD Two, other components of Resource Manager Essentials, such as Configuration Management, Software Management, Syslog Analysis, Availability, and Contract Connection will not be available to you.
 |
Note You can use CD Two with any product that requires the inventory functions of Resource Manager Essentials version 3.1. |
CD Two allows you to perform most inventory functions of Essentials, such as importing a device, deleting a device, and generating reports. However, the 24-Hour Inventory Change Report, device attribute checking, and Custom Reports are not available.
|
Note You must install CD One before you install CD Two. CD Two can work only if CD One is installed. For details, refer to Installing and Setting Up CD One on Windows NT. |
This section describes prerequisites and other factors you should consider before installing CD Two.
You can install CD Two only on CD One 2nd Edition.
This section describes the server requirements and recommendations for CD Two.
The minimum system requirements for installing CD Two are shown in Table 1-1.
| Requirement Type | Minimum Requirements |

Table 1-2 shows the recommendations for a server running CD Two. These recommendations produce optimal response time when running user reports.

Version 3.1. Device adapter packages for all supported devices are installed when you install CD Two. Information about devices installed with CD Two can be found at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/cw2000/ cw2000e/index.htm.
You can download device packages for new devices from CCO and find information about all supported devices from CCO at www.cisco.com.
To find out which device packages are installed on your CiscoWorks2000 Server, select CiscoWorks2000 Server > About CiscoWorks2000 > Applications and Vers ions. Click on the Inventory Manager link to see specific device information.
|
Note You must install CiscoWorks2000 CD One before you can install CD Two. Refer to Installing and Setting Up CD One on Windows NT. |
The installation program installs CD Two in the same location as CD One (C:\Program Files\ CSCOpx by default) and starts CiscoWorks2000.
Step 2 Insert the CD Two CD-ROM into a CD-ROM drive. The Installer window appears, displaying:
Do you want to Install CiscoWorks2000 CD Two?
Step 3 Click Yes to begin installing. The Unpacking CiscoWorks2000 CD Two screen appears, and the InstallShield Wizard is prepared. The Welcome screen appears.
Step 4 Click Next to continue. The Start Copying Files dialog box appears.
Step 5 Click Next. The installation program checks dependencies and system requirements.
Step 6 The Requirements Verification dialog box displays the results of the requirements checking and tells whether the installation can continue. One of the following occurs:
Step 7 Click Finish. You have completed the CD Two installation.
Step 8 Remove the CD-ROM from the drive.
Step 9 If you did not restart the computer after installing CiscoWorks2000 CD One, restart it now.
If you had any errors during installation, check the installation log in the root directory on the drive where the operating system is installed. Each installation creates a new log file.
When a CiscoWorks2000 installation or uninstallation takes place, log files are created chronologically and stored in your C drive as C:\cw2000_inxxx.log, where x represents the three-digit system-generated number. For example, if the last install/uninstall log was C:\cw2000_in004.log, after installing CD Two, the CD Two install log would be stored in C:\cw2000_in005.log.
Before uninstalling CD Two, you must remove any applications that depend on CD Two.
Uninstalling CD Two takes about 10 minutes.
|
Note You cannot uninstall CD One without uninstalling CD Two. |
Step 2 Select the components you want to uninstall.
Step 3 Click Next to begin uninstalling the selected components.
A dialog box listing the components selected for uninstallation appears.
Step 4 Click Next.
Messages showing the progress of the uninstallation appear and the uninstallation finishes.
