Software Installation Procedures

Software Installation Procedures

This chapter guides you through a first time installation of Cisco WAN Manager 9.2 and its associated software programs.


Note Prior to installing CWM 9.2, you must have IBM's AIX 4.2 and Netview 5.1 installed on your PowerPC. You may also need to customize the set up of the raw partition size for Informix OnLine. For instructions on installing IBM Netview 5.1, refer to the IBM Netview Installation Guide.

When AIX 4.2 and Netview 5.1 are already installed on your machine and your disk is partitioned to your satisfaction, you are ready to proceed to "Installing the Cisco WAN Manager 9.2 Software".

When you plan to use the Wingz 2.5.5 application in conjunction with the CWM 9.2 product, you must install this application prior to installing CWM 9.2.

When you plan to use the CiscoView 4.2 application in conjunction with the CWM 9.2 product, you do not have to install CiscoView 4.2 prior to installing CWM 9.2.

Installing the Cisco WAN Manager 9.2 Software

You can install the CWM 9.2 software from either a locally attached or remote CD-ROM drive. When you invoke the installation script from a remote drive, the remote and local platforms do not have to be running the same operating system. Following is a list of the tasks you must perform to load and mount the CD-ROM, install the CWM 9.2 and associated software via the automated installation script, configure the various product components, and start the CWM 9.2 software.

    1. Load the CD into the CD-ROM drive. See "Loading the CD-ROM".

    2. Mount the CD-ROM drive. See "Mounting the Locally Attached CD-ROM Drive".

    3. Export the CD-ROM drive to make it available to other machines if you are installing the software on a remote machine. See "Mounting a Remotely Attached CD-ROM Drive".

    4. Install the CWM 9.2 software packages.

    5. Configure the Cisco WAN Manager Statistics Collection Manager. Refer to XXX-SCM.

    6. Start the CWM 9.2 software. Refer to Chapter 3, Configuring and Starting CWM.

    7. How to configure a modem for dial-in support. See "Configuring Modem for Dial-In from Customer Service (Auto-Answer)" in Chapter 3.

    8. How to remotely start the Cisco WAN Manager Desktop Graphical User Interface (GUI). See "Starting the Cisco WAN Manager Desktop GUI from Another Workstation" in Chapter 3.

Loading the CD-ROM

The CWM 9.2 software can be loaded from either a locally attached or remote CD-ROM drive.

Step 1 Remove the CWM 9.2 CD from the case and insert it into the CD-ROM drive.

Step 2 Log in as the super user root:
host$ su
host$ password: <su root password>
host#

Mounting the Locally Attached CD-ROM Drive

The mount instructions for a locally attached CD-ROM drive for the AIX operating system are provided in this section.

Step 1 If a CD-ROM drive mount point does not exist, create one as follows:
host# mkdir /cdrom


Note If the CD-ROM drive is already mounted, the following mount step is not necessary.

Step 2 Mount the CD-ROM drive on the mount point:
host# /etc/mount -v'cdrfs' -f'' -r'' /dev/cd0 /cdrom

Mounting a Remotely Attached CD-ROM Drive

The mount instructions for a remotely attached CD-ROM drive are provided in this section. The CD-ROM drive must be mounted on the remote system (following the steps provided in the previous section), the mount point must then be exported, and it must be mounted on the machine where the CWM 9.2 software is to be installed.

Exporting the CD-ROM Drive from a Remote AIX Host

Prior to mounting the CD-ROM drive from the remote host, the device must be made accessible. The following procedures are performed on the remote system (unless otherwise noted) where the CD-ROM drive is attached:

Step 1 If the following entry does not exist in the /etc/exports file, append it to the file. This allows the remote system to export the /cdrom mount point.
/cdrom -ro

Step 2 Export the /cdrom directory from the remote host:
host# /usr/sbin/exportfs /cdrom

Step 3 Verify the remote host is exporting the mount point. The listing produced by this command should include the /cdrom mount point.
host# /usr/sbin/exportfs

Step 4 On the client machine, verify the mount point on the remote host:
host# /usr/sbin/showmount -e <remote_server> | grep cdrom

where <remote_server> is the name of the remote host where the CD-ROM drive is mounted.

Step 5 On the client machine, mount the remotely installed CD-ROM device:
host# /usr/sbin/mount <remote_server>: /cdrom <local_mount_point>

where <local_mount_point> is the mount point on the client machine for the remotely mounted CD-ROM drive.

Before You Begin

To ensure a smooth CWM 9.2 AIX installation, be aware of the following:

    1. You must have the AIX 4.2 operating system installed on your PowerPC and you must have user root access to the PowerPC.

    2. You should have the IBM Netview 5.1 application installed on your PowerPC prior to installing CWM 9.2.

    3. When you plan on using Wingz for generating reports, you must have Wingz 2.5.5 installed on your PowerPC. This application is available on a separate CD included in your CWM 9.2 product package. Follow the installation instructions provided in the Wingz Installation Guide.

    4. When you plan on using the CWM Equipment Management functionality for BPX/IGX release 9.1 or for AXIS 4.1, you must have CiscoView 4.2 installed on your PowerPC. This application is available on a separate CD included in your CWM 9.2 product package. Follow the installation instructions provided in the CiscoView Installation Guide.

    5. Before beginning the installation procedure, copy the /usr/users/svplus/config.sv file to /tmp so you can easily restore it after installing new CWM 9.2 software.

    6. You are expected to know which disk is set aside for /usr/users, when more than two disks exist on your PowerPC.

    7. For a dual disk arrangement:

    8. This release of CWM does not support swap on the secondary disk.


Note Refer to the specific product documentation for information pertaining to the non-Cisco software packages such as Informix OnLine or Wingz.

Installing the Informix 7.23 Package

This subsection provides you instructions on how to install the Informix 7.23 related files from the CWM 9.2 CD.

Step 1 Start an "xterm" or "aixterm".

Step 2 Set the DISPLAY environment variable to <hostname>:0.0, where <hostname> is name of the host/X Terminal from which you are performing the installation.

Step 3 Log in as the super user root:
host$ su
host$ password: <su root password>
host#

Step 4 Start the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT):
host# smit &

Note, this package cannot be installed using "smitty".

Step 5 Select the Software Installation and Maintenance option.

Step 6 Select the Install and Update Software option.

svplus userid=271 home=/usr/users/svplus groupid=21
svplus-r userid=272 home=/usr/users/svplus groupid=21

When the above accounts do not exist on the system, the installer attempts to create them. When the above accounts exist on the system exactly as specified above, the installer proceeds and installs the rest of the package. However, when these accounts do exist on the system, but not as required by the CWM installer, installation fails.


Note None of the above groups or user accounts should exist in an NIS (Yellow Pages) domain.
