Server Installation: Control System

Server Installation: Control System

Introduction

This chapter describes how to install the WSA Control System. However, before you start this procedure, be sure that your system is set up with the requirements specified in "System Requirements." Also, be sure that you have installed the database, as specified in "Server Installation: Database."


Note The control system must be run on the same machine as the WSA database (refer to "Server Installation: Database").

The installation of the WSA Control System is the second of three installations needed to support the WSA product. The instructions for the other two installations are in "Server Installation: Database," which must occur before this installation and in "Client Installation," which must occur after this installation.

The actions for this installation are organized into the following categories that should be implemented in this order:

Preinstallation Actions

Before installing the WSA Control System, verify that you have sufficient space available in the /opt file system. The WSA Control System must be installed in /opt/CSCOwsa and requires 10 MB to complete.

Installation Actions

The installation actions are the following:

Log in as root and Create the Installation Directory

If you are not already logged in as root, do so now and invoke a Korn shell. The WSA Control System installation must be run as root because it modifies user profiles.

# ksh

# mkdir /opt/CSCOwsa

Check that the Distribution CD-ROM is Mounted

If you have been executing the instructions in this document in the correct order, the WSA distribution CD-ROM should still be mounted. You can check that it is mounted by executing the following command:

# df /cdrom/cdrom0/ciscowsa

The expected result is something like this:

/cdrom/cisco (/vol/dev/dsk/c0t6d0/cisco): -1 blocks -1 files

If the above result continues, then issue the following commands before trying the df command.

These commands stop and restart volume management:

# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop

# /etc/init.d/volmgt start

Wait ten seconds and type:

# volcheck

Set the Environment Variables

The WSA Control System installation script requires that the WSADIR and INFORMIXDIR environment variables are set correctly. WSADIR must be set to /opt/CSCOwsa and INFORMIXDIR must be set to the value you noted in the section Allocating Space for the Installation.

To set these environment variables, run the following commands:

# WSADIR=/opt/CSCOwsa

# export WSADIR

and

# INFORMIXDIR=<your value goes here>

# export INFORMIXDIR

In addition, your PATH environment variable needs to be set as follows:

# PATH=$INFORMIXDIR/bin:$PATH

# export PATH

Read in the Distribution File

Enter the following commands:

# cd /opt/CSCOwsa

# tar xvf /cdrom/cdrom0/ciscowsa/ctlsys.tar

Run the Installation Script

Enter the following command:

# ./installwsa

Install the WSA Discovery Server

A discovery probe is provided with WSA to discover SV+ managed networks using the SV+ database. The server for the probe needs to be installed on the SV+ Solaris server. Use the following steps to install this probe:

Step 1 Copy the file wsadisc.tar from the installation CD-ROM (/cdrom/cdrom0/ciscowsa/wsadisc.tar) onto a file that can be accessed or copied to the SV+ Solaris server.

Step 2 Log into the SV+ Solaris server as user svplus.

Step 3 Create a directory wsa in the svplus user's home directory.

Step 4 Change the directory to wsa.

$ cd wsa

Step 5 Copy wsadisc.tar to this directory.

Step 6 Untar the file and install the WSA Discovery Server.

$ tar xvf wsadisc.tar

$ ./installwsadisc

$ source .wsarc

$ cd bin

Step 7 To start the server, refer to the section Starting and Stopping the WSA Discovery Server.

Installation Complete

The WSA Control System installation is now complete. You are now in a position to install the WSA Clients, as described in "Client Installation."
