This chapter provides information pertaining to the installation, configuration, and licensing of Cisco Info Center.
This chapter includes the following sections:
The Multi System Architecture is the recommended client server architecture for Cisco Info Center. In this architecture, the Cisco Info Server, Cisco StrataView Plus (SV+) Mediators, and Cisco Info Admin Desktop are installed and configured on different Sun Solaris systems as shown in Figure 2-1.
Table 2-1 shows the components to be selected in the installation process. Details on the installation process for a multisystem architecture are provided in Chapter 3, "Multisystem Architecture".
The Multisystem Architecture installation process involves the installation and configuration of the Cisco Info Server, SV+ Mediators (consisting of the HP NNM Mediator and the Trapd Mediator), and the Cisco Info Admin Desktop.
Table 2-1 shows the components to be selected in the Multisystem Architecture installation process.
| Node | Required Component to be Selected for Installation |
|---|---|
Cisco Info Server Host | Cisco Info Server Process Control Licensing Info Gateway Cisco Info Admin Desktop |
Cisco SV+ Host | Cisco SV+ Mediators:
Process Control Cisco Info Admin Desktop |
Client Desktop | Cisco Info Admin Desktop |
For Installing Mediators other than the Cisco SV+ Mediators, see Section, "Manually Installing Cisco Info Center Components", in Chapter 4, "Single System Architecture".
The following section provides details on minimum hardware requirements for the various components of the Cisco Info Center; the Cisco Info Server host, the Cisco SV+ host, and the Cisco Info Admin Desktop client (system requirements and front-end software requirements).
The system requirements for the Cisco Info Center and SV+ Mediators (HP NNM and Trapd) host specified below, are in addition to the recommended requirements for Cisco SV+, Informix, and HP NNM:
The system requirements for the Cisco Info Center Admin Desktop specified below, are in addition to the recommended requirements for any products running on that specific Desktop:
Cisco Info Center supports the following user interface environments:
In the Single System Architecture, the Cisco Info Server, Cisco Info Admin Desktop, and Cisco SV+ Mediators (consisting of the HP NNM and Trapd Mediators), are installed and configured on the Cisco SV+ host workstation, as shown in Figure 2-2. While this is not the preferred architecture, this is supported for the following conditions:
Table 2-2 shows the components to be selected in the Single System Architecture installation process. Details on the Single System Architecture installation process are provided in Chapter 4, "Single System Architecture".
| Node | Required Component to be Selected for Installation |
|---|---|
Cisco SV+ Host | Cisco Info Server Process Control Licensing Info Gateways Info Mediators Cisco Info Admin Desktop |
The following section provides details on the minimum hardware and software requirements for the various components of the Cisco Info Center Single System Architecture.
Sun Ultra II or higher, running Solaris 2.5.1 and CDE
512 MBytes of main memory
350 Mbytes of hard disk space.
Cisco Info Center supports the following user interface environments:
This section describes how to stop and de-install the Cisco Info Center.
Step 1 To stop the Cisco Info Center processes, issue this command:
host% /etc/init.d/nco stop
Step 2 When this is a Cisco Info Server workstation, kill the license daemon.
Step 3 Remove the installation directory ($OMNIHOME) by issuing this command:
host% rm -rf /opt/Omnibus
This section describes how to obtain the required license keys for the Cisco Info Center.
Step 1 Obtain the license keys from the host where the license manager will be running. At the command line prompt, specify:
host% /opt/Omnibus/install/nco_license
Step 2 Provide the number of license servers required. You are prompted with a series of questions. Upon completion, a machine code is returned.
Step 3 Contact your Cisco Support Center (specific information is provided below). Provide the Cisco Support Center with the machine code for each license server, as well as, the configuration components (that is, info Mediators, Info Gateways, Info servers, etc.)
License keys will be emailed to you. The license keys are used to complete all of the nco_license steps for full installation.
