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 Desktops 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 multi-system architecture are provided in Chapter 3, "Multi-system Architecture".
The multi-system 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 multi-system 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+ Hosts (single or multiple) | 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 Cisco 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 (HP NNM and Trapd), are installed and configured on the Cisco SV+ host workstation, as shown in Figure 2-2. While this is not the preferred architecture, it 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 Components 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.
Cisco Info Center supports the following user interface environments:
This section describes how to stop and de-install the Cisco Info Center.
Step 1 Stop the Cisco Info Center processes:
host% /etc/init.d/nco stop
Step 2 Remove the installation directory ($OMNIHOME):
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 a full installation.
