This chapter provides information you need prior to beginning the installation of Cisco WAN Manger (CWM) 10.3. This chapter contains the following sections:
The section lists information is required during the software installation. The following information is required:
Some of this information can be gathered by issuing commands at the existing network management system (NMS) workstation. If there is no existing NMS workstation, gather this information from another source.
| Command | Comment | ||
|---|---|---|---|
hostname | Obtains workstation's hostname
| ||
more /etc/defaultrouter | Record the information if it exists | ||
more /etc/hosts | Record the addresses and hostnames | ||
more /usr/users/svplus/config.sv | If upgrading, record the gateway node | ||
netstat -rn | Displays information about static routes | ||
more /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc | Record the static routes (lines listed under /usr/sbin...224.0.0.0... | ||
more /etc/netmasks | Record the IP addresses and subnet masks | ||
more /etc/resolv.conf | Record this information required for Netscape domain |
This section lists the requirements for a CWM workstation. Table 1-2 lists the minimum workstation requirements. Using a workstation that meets these requirements will ensure adequate performance.
| Component | Minimum Requirement |
|---|---|
Workstation | Sun Ultra 10 |
Memory | 512 MB |
CPU Speed | 440 MHz |
Hard Disk Drive | 9.1 GB |
Graphics Card | 24-bit |
Monitor | 19 inch |
Use the following commands to gather some of the required information. The dmesg command provides information about the workstation type, amount of memory and CPU speed.
dmesg | moreThe format command enables you to determine information about the disk drives on your workstation. Select a disk from the list of those available, and use the verify command to determine the current partitioning of each disk.
Cisco WAN Manager 10.3 must be run on a Sun workstation with the following software:
Before you begin the software upgrade, make sure you have exported a copy of your database if you are upgrading from SV+ 9.1.10 or CWM 9.2 09. If you are upgrading from 10.1 or 10.2, exporting the database is not necessary, but you must stop the CWM core processes.
This section describes how to save a copy of the current database using the Informix OnLine dbexport command. Refer to Informix OnLine documentation for information about the dbexport command
 |
Note Installing Solaris 2.7 repartitions the disk, destroying all existing data. You MUST REMOVE the saved data to either a tape drive or to another workstation, or it will be lost. |
Step 2 Stop the CWM core processes if not already stopped
Step 3 Create a directory to save the Informix OnLine database to, and change its permissions as follows:
host% mkdir <save_database_directory>
host% chmod 777 <save_database_directory>
Step 4 Change directory to the <save_database_directory> directory:
host% cd <save_database_directory>
Step 5 Log in as user informix.
Step 6 Verify enough disk space is available for the Informix OnLine database:
host% onstat -d
Step 7 Invoke the dbexport command:
host% dbexport -o <save_database_directory> <database_name>
Step 8 We recommend you use the name you assigned to the database during the INSTALL script as the <database_name> name. The default name in the INSTALL script was stratacom.
Step 9 To save the database residing in <save_database_directory> to a tape mounted on the
/dev/rmt/0 drive:
host% tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 <save_database_directory>
Step 10 If you don't have a tape drive, you MUST now FTP the <save_database_directory> to another workstation or a PC.
The Informix OnLine database is now saved to a safe location. There are several other configuration files that also must be saved using the following procedure:
If you are upgrading from 9.1.10, save the following file to the <save_database_directory> above and/or the tape mounted on the /dev/rmt/0 drive:
|
Note The *.sm files do not exist in SV+ 9.1.10. |
Step 2 To save the database and files residing in <save_database_directory> to a tape mounted on the
/dev/rmt/0 drive:
host% tar cvf /dev/rmt/0 <save_database_directory>
Step 3 If you don't have a tape drive, you MUST now FTP the <save_database_directory> to another workstation or a PC.
Appendix A provides an overview of the tasks required to install Solaris 2.7 in preparation to install Release 10 of Cisco WAN Manager. For more details on the process, please refer to the documentation you received from Sun Microsystems for Solaris 7 (or 2.7) installation instructions.
Sufficient disk space and proper disk partitioning are essential to achieving the best performance from CWM and your network management workstation.
|
Note The minimum disk space requirement for CWM 10.3 is one 9-GB disk drive. |
This section describes how to partition a CWM workstation's single 9-GB disk drive. The following procedure ensures that all but the final partition will be at a set size.
|
Note The actual total disk space for a 9-GB disk varies depending on the manufacturer of the disk. One 9-1 GB disk might have 9.05 GB of available space, while another might only have 8.9 GB of space available. Other disk drive flaws also limit disk capacity. Most disks will NOT have a full 9.1 GB, and the slice 2 (s2) total will vary. |
| Slice | Partition | Space | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
s0 | / | 1500 MB | Allocate this partition third |
s1 | swap | 1030 MB | Allows for memory upgrade to 1 GB; allocate this partition second |
s2 | <overlap> | 8996 MB | Total amount of space on the disk; do not attempt to modify |
s3 | /opt | 1000 MB | allocate this partition fourth |
s4 | /var | 1475 MB | allocate this partition fifth |
s5 |
|
|
|
s6 | /usr/users | 2000 MB | Must be 2000 MB; allocate this partition first |
s7 |
| 1991 MB | Raw partition; might be less that this amount; allocate this partition last |
|
Note To check the running total of what disk space is remaining, just click on the any other partition to update the total free value. When there are 0 free and a rounding error of 0 or 1, click OK. |
This section describes how to partition a CWM workstation that has two 9-GB disk drives. When you install Solaris, partition the first disk drive as shown in Table 1-4. Do not partition the second disk. The second disk is automatically partitioned during the CWM software installation.
| Slice | Partition | Space | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
s0 | / | 2000 MB | Allocate this partition third |
s1 | swap | 1030 MB | Allows for memory upgrade to 1024 MB; allocate this partition second |
s2 | <overlap> | 8996 MB | Total amount of space on the disk; do not attempt to modify |
s3 | /opt | 2000 MB | Allocate fourth |
s4 | /var | 1466 MB | Remainder of disk; allocate this partition last |
s5 |
|
|
|
s6 | /usr/users | 2500 MB | Must be 2500 MB; allocate this partition first |
s7 |
|
|
|
|
Note The total space should equal the space shown in s2. |
| Slice | Partition | Space | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
s0 | swap | 1000 MB | Allocate this first |
s1 |
|
|
|
s2 | <overlap> | 8996 MB | Total amount of space on the disk; do not attempt to modify |
s3 | /spare | 5697 MB | Allocate this last, This partition can be used for customer use or can be used for multiple 2 GB Informix raw partitions. |
s4 |
|
|
|
s5 |
|
|
|
s6 |
|
|
|
s7 |
| 1995 MB | Allocate this second |
|
Note The total space should equal the space shown in s2. |
After installing the Sun Solaris 2.7 operating system, perform the following steps:
Step 2 Close the File Manager and Help windows, leaving only the CDE menu bar.
Step 3 Right click on blank screen, highlight Tools, then Terminal.
Move this terminal window to the upper right corner of the screen.
Step 4 Right click on blank screen highlight Hosts, then Terminal Console.
Lower the height to display four lines and move this window so that it rests above the CDE menu bar. This window provides a display of workstation system messages.
Step 5 Left click the CDE icon labeled TTT.
The Style Manager window is displayed.
Step 6 Left click on Screen, click screen saver and screen lock off, then click OK.
If you prefer to use the screen saver, highlight choice(s) and start the screen saver at 29 minutes. Start the screen lock at 30 minutes, click OK
Step 7 Click on Backdrop and select GrayDk, then click Apply.
Do the same to all four screens, labeled One, Two, Three and Four in the CDE icon bar. In Four click OK and return to screen One. This helps to conserve workstation resources.
Step 8 Click the CDE icon labeled TTT, then click on Startup in the Style Manager. Click on Set Home Session and click OK.
The next login session will come up using this same screen configuration. Click OK and close the Style Manager.
Step 9 Type eject in the Terminal Window to remove the Solaris 2.7 CD, if necessary.
