Installing CWM Server Software

Installing CWM Server Software

This chapter provides step-by-step procedures to install the CWM 10.3 software on a standalone or server workstation. The CWM 10.3 software installation process uses InstallShield to simplify the process. Before installing the CWM 10.3 software on the CWM workstation, the following software should already be installed (in the following order):

Installing CWM Software


Note The screens in this section reflect a single disk install. Areas where choices differ for a multi-disk install are called out in the procedure.

To install the CWM 10.3 software, complete the following steps:


Step 1 Login to the CWM workstation as user root, and insert the Cisco WAN Manager 10.3 CD-ROM into the CDROM drive.

Step 2 Enter the following commands:

cd /cdrom/cdrom0/cdrom
ls 
 

Step 3 Check for the file Install.sh and begin the install process by entering the following command:

./Install.sh
 

The CWM Installation Welcome screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-1.


Figure 2-1: CWM Installation Welcome Screen


Step 4 Click Next on the Welcome screen to continue.

The ReadMe Information screen, Figure 2-2, is displayed.


Figure 2-2: CWM Installation ReadMe Information Screen


Step 5 After reading the information presented on the Information screen, click Next.

The Information About the Upgrade Procedure screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-3.


Figure 2-3: Information About the Upgrade Procedure Screen


Step 6 At the Information About the Upgrade Procedure screen, accept the default No and click Next.

The Auto-Partition screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-4.


Figure 2-4: Auto-Partition Screen


Step 7 At the Auto-Partition screen, accept the default No and click Next.

The Meta Devices screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-5.


Figure 2-5: Meta Devices Screen


Step 8 At the Meta Devices screen, unless you have meta devices to configure, accept the default No and click Next.

The Multiple Disk Configuration for Informix screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-6.


Figure 2-6: Multiple Informix Disks Screen


Step 9 At the Multiple Disk Configuration for Informix screen, if you have one disk accept the default No and click Next. If you have two disks, click on the Yes radio button and then click Next to continue.

The Select the Raw Partition for CWM Database screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-7.


Figure 2-7: Select the Raw Partition for CWM Database Screen


Step 10 At the Select the Raw Partition for CWM Database screen, select the partition you configured during the Solaris software installation process, accept the default name of stratacom, then click Next.


Note If you have multiple hard disks configured, more partitions will be displayed than those shown in Figure 2-7.

The Install Orbix screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-8.


Figure 2-8: Install Orbix Screen


Step 11 At the Install Orbix screen, accept the default Yes and click Next.

The Enter the Domain Name screen is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-9.


Figure 2-9: Enter the Domain Name Screen


Step 12 At the Enter the Domain Name screen, enter the domain configured for the workstation. This information allows the CWM client workstations access to the database. Also ensure that the workstation and the domain is reachable. You can use the ping command to test this.

The only reason to leave the Domain Name field empty (or blank) would be for a standalone CWM server that would never have client workstations.

Step 13 After entering the domain name, click Install.

The software installation process begins. This process will take about 30-60 minutes depending on the speed and resources of the CWM workstation. The installation screen shows an indicating the progress of the installation process, as shown in Figure 2-10.

Step 14 Click Finish on the dialog box.

Doing so ends the software installation process, and the Install Shield screen closes.

The system needs to be rebooted at this point.


Rebooting the Workstation

At the root prompt, enter the following command to reboot the workstation.

#  sync ;sync ;reboot

The reboot sequence aligns the cylinders of your hard disks and gracefully shuts down the Solaris operating system.

The OK prompt is displayed.


Note At this point, you can push the CDROM eject button on the CDROM drive to eject the installation CD.

Post Installation Tasks

The following configuration tasks should be completed after installing the CWM 10.3 software.

Ejecting the CWM CD-ROM

Type eject in the Terminal Window to remove the CWM 10.3 CD, if you have not already removed it from the CDROM drive.

First Time Login as User svplus

After completing the CWM 10.3 software installation, perform the following steps when you log in to CWM as user svplus.


Step 1 Login to the workstation as user svplus using the Solaris Login interface and select CDE.

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 Place the cursor in the terminal window, and use vi to edit the network.conf file.

% cd /usr/users/svplus/config
% vi network.conf
 

Step 10 Modify the network.conf file depending on your network requirements.


Modifying the /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf File for BPX/IGX

For BPX/IGX networks using in-band management, provide the following information for your network:

NETWORK:Network1
GATEWAYS:sj123456	
DISCOVERY PROTOCOL:AUTOROUTE
IP REACHABILITY FLAG:NWIP_OFF
 

Examine the /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf file. Check for the mnemonic of the gateway node. Also, for BPX/IGX, check the IP Reachability Flag:

To view the /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf file, enter the following command:

    more /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf 
     
    
Sample Network 1: Discover an AutoRoute Network

Note Use only one Gateway per network in case of AutoRoute networks

NETWORK:Network1
GATEWAYS:nmsbpx12
DISCOVERY PROTOCOL:AUTOROUTE
IP REACHABILITY FLAG:NWIP_ON
OPTIONAL:"TIMEOUT = 7, RETRANSMIT = 6, THROTTLE = 0, ACKNOWLEDGE = 30, BLOCKSIZE = 1024"
 

Table 2-1 provides a list of the parameters in the network.conf file.


Table 2-1: network.conf Optional Parameters
Parameter Name Default Value Description

TIMEOUT

7

Link timeout value. The amount of time to wait before resending a message to an IGX 8400/BPX 8600 when a response is not received. This field must not be changed.

RETRANSMIT

6

Link retry count. The number of times CWM will retransmit a message before it declares the link down. This field must not be changed.

THROTTLE

0

Download throttling timeout value. This field must not be changed.

ACKNOWLEDGE

30

ACK timeout value used during the download process. When an acknowledgment to a configuration message sent to an IGX 8400, or BPX 8600 is not received within this time period, the message is sent again.

BLOCKSIZE

256

Block size used for an IGX 8400, or BPX 8600 configuration upload.


Note To save your changes while using the vi editor, remember to press Esc, colon (:), then wq!.

Modifying the network.conf File for PNNI Networks

For networks with nodes using the PNNI protocol (MGX 8850, Release 2 nodes or SES nodes), provide the following information for your network:

NETWORK:Network2
GATEWAYS:sj234567	
DISCOVERY PROTOCOL:PNNI

Note Multiple Gateways should be separated by commas.

Checking the CWM Workstation File System

At the CWM workstation, log in as user root, and examine the following files.


Note The IP addresses shown are examples. Use addresses relevant to your network.

/etc/hosts

Examine the /etc/hosts file and check all nodes' IP LAN addresses, IP relay addresses, and node names. To view the /etc/hosts file, enter the following command:

    more /etc/hosts
     
    

Following is an example of the /etc/hosts file:

    209.165.200.225 <tab> igx2 
    10.10.10.225 <tab> igx2-r
     
    

The first line shows a node's LAN IP address. The second line shows an IP-relay address. If possible, use the same last octet value for NWIP as the LAN IP address.

/etc/netmasks

Examine the /etc/netmasks file for all subnet and netmask entries. To view the /etc/netmasks file, enter the following command:

    more /etc/netmasks
     
    

/etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc

Examine the /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc file to ensure that the IP relay address points to the gateway node. To view the /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc file, enter the following command:

    more /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc
     
    

Use the vi editor to open the S72inetsvc file and find the following line:

    /usr/sbin/route add -interface -netmask "224.0.0.0" "224.0.0.0" "$mcastif"
    )&
     
    

Add the following line directly below that line:

    /usr/sbin/route add net 10.10.10.0 209.165.200.225  1  (use your site's valid IP addresses)
     
    

Note When using the vi editor, remember to write your changes before quitting:  <esc> wq!

/etc/defaultrouter

Examine the /etc/defaultrouter file. To view the /etc/defaultrouter file, enter the following command:

    more /etc/defaultrouter
     
    

Note This file might not exist and if so, it must be created.

If it is not currently in the file, use the vi editor to add a line containing the IP address of the default router to which the CWM workstation is attached.


Note When using the vi editor, remember to write your changes before quitting:  <esc> wq!

/usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf

Examine the /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf file. Check for the mnemonic of the gateway node. Also, for BPX/IGX, check the IP Reachability Flag:

To view the /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf file, enter the following command:

    more /usr/users/svplus/config/network.conf
