Preparing to Install CWSI

Installing CWSI Components

This section describes how to install CWSI and its components, and set paths and environments.

Installing CWSI

1 ) Become superuser by entering su and the root password at the command prompt, or log in as root.

2 ) Insert the CWSI CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

3 ) If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create it:

# mkdir /cdrom

The CD-ROM is automatically mounted into the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory. If you are running File Manager, a separate File Manager window displays the contents of the CD-ROM.


4 ) Enter the following commands:

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0
# ./setup.sh

5 ) You are prompted to select the optional components that you want to install.

    1 CSCOcv CiscoView 4.x for HPOV/SNM
    (sparc)
    2 CSCOtd5 TrafficDirector for Solaris
    (sparc) 5.x
    3 CSCOatmd AtmDirector for Solaris
    (sparc) 2.x (Installed)

    Select optional components you wish to install ('all' or 'none' to install all or none of these components). (default: all) [q]:

Note Components that you have already installed are displayed. You can reinstall these items or install a new component.

6 ) Enter the appropriate option and press Return.

7 ) Enter y to agree to the terms of the copyright.

8 ) Enter information or press Return for the default response (in square brackets) to the following questions:

    Enter product location (PKGROOT): [/opt/CSCOcwsi]
    Enter database location: [/opt/CSCOcwsi/db/data]
    Enter seed device name or IP address:
    Enter full netscape browser executable pathname:
    Enter TCP port number to use for DB: [8000]

    The values you enter or confirm are displayed.


9 ) Enter y to accept these values.

As the installation proceeds, filenames for the CWSI, CiscoView, TrafficDirector, and AtmDirector applications are displayed as they are installed. Each application takes approximately 10 minutes to install, depending on your system configuration.


Installing CiscoView

CiscoView is the first optional component installed. The install directory (/opt/CSCOcwsi) is already selected, but the system prompts you to confirm or change the user and group members:

Installing CiscoView in /opt/CSCOcwsi.
Files installed will belong to user: bin group: bin
Use this owner and group (y/n)? [y] 

Press Return or y for the default response. Press n to change the user or group members.

At the prompt, select the device files you want to install. To install the device files, follow these steps:

1 ) Enter the number corresponding to the device manager you want to install. To install all the CiscoView device files, press Return or y.

2 ) Enter y to display the current CiscoView release note after installing CiscoView.

A summary of your responses is displayed before you confirm the CiscoView installation.


3 ) If the summary is correct, enter y. If you need to change anything, enter n to return to the CiscoView configuration prompts and change the responses you entered.

Installing TrafficDirector and AtmDirector

If you have chosen to install TrafficDirector and AtmDirector, they are installed automatically in the /opt/CSCOcwsi directory.

Completing the Installation

To complete your installation, follow these steps:

1 ) Type q to exit the setup menu, which is redisplayed when the installation is complete.

2 ) Remove the CD-ROM and store it in a safe place.

The cwsinstall.log file contains information for CiscoView, TrafficDirector, and AtmDirector. Be sure to save this file to help you troubleshoot future installation problems.

Setting Paths and Environments for CWSI

You must set the paths and environment variables for CWSI, and indicate the source of the TrafficDirector file before attempting to use TrafficDirector.

Add the lines listed in Table 2 to the .cshrc file (csh) or .profile file (sh or ksh). If you installed the applications in directories other than the default directory, use that directory name instead.


Table  2: Path and Environment Variables
csh setenv PATH "$(PATH)":/opt/CSCOcwsi/bin
source /opt/CSCOcwsi/.traffdir.cshrc
sh or ksh PATH=$PATH:/opt/CSCOcwsi/bin
. /opt/CSCOcwsi/.traffdir.sh

Starting CWSI

Launch CWSI using the following startup command:

/opt/CSCOcwsi/bin/cwsi

Note If you installed CWSI in a directory other than the default directory, select that path to start CWSI.

Launch VlanDirector, AtmDirector, UserTracking, TrafficDirector, and CiscoView from the main CWSI screen.

If you have not installed a particular component (such as AtmDirector), that option is not available in the main CWSI menu.

Removing CWSI

To remove CWSI, use the uninstall command as follows:

# cd /opt/CSCOcwsi/bin
# ./uninstall.sh

The default CWSI install directory is /opt/CSCOcwsi. If you installed CWSI and its components in a different directory, enter that directory instead.


Note You must remove CWSI before you remove CRM.

Adding New Device Support for CiscoView

To add new devices to CiscoView, access Cisco Connection Online (CCO). Instructions on how to download additional devices for CiscoView using the cvinstall command are available on CCO or on the anonymous ftp server, in the Network Management section of the Software Center. These instructions are also included in the CiscoView Incremental Installation Quick Reference guide, which is on the Documentation CD.

To incrementally add device support from CCO, take the following steps:


Note If you installed CiscoView in a directory other than /opt/CSCOcwsi, use that directory name in this procedure.

1 ) Download the device package files from CCO into the cv_pkgs directory.

2 ) For CCO packages, untar the package by entering the following command:

# tar -xvf tar_filename

3 ) Set your NMSROOT environment variable, as follows:

# setenv NMSROOT /opt/CSCOcv

4 ) Go to the cv_pkgs directory by entering the following command:

# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/cv_pkgs

5 ) To install the package, log in as root and enter the following command:

$NMSROOT/bin/cvinstall device_name.pkg

Note Replace device_name.pkg with the name of the device package you want to install.
