This chapter guides you through a first time installation (the recommended method) of Cisco StrataView Plus (SV+) 9.1 and its associated software programs. When you install Cisco SV+ 9.1 as an upgrade from an earlier version of Cisco SV+, see "Upgrade Installation Procedures" in Chapter 4.
When AIX 4.1 and Netview 4.1 are already installed on your machine and your disk is partitioned to your satisfaction, you are ready to proceed to "Installing the Cisco StrataView Plus 9.1 Software".
When you plan to use the Wingz 2.5.5 application in conjunction with the Cisco SV+ 9.1 product, you must install this application prior to installing Cisco SV+ 9.1.
When you plan to use the CiscoView 4.1 application in conjunction with the Cisco SV+ 9.1 product, you do not have to install CiscoView 4.1 prior to installing Cisco SV+ 9.1.
You can install the Cisco SV+ 9.1 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 Cisco SV+ 9.1 and associated software via the automated installation script, configure the various product components, and start the Cisco SV+ 9.1 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 Cisco SV+ 9.1 software packages.
5. Configure the Cisco SV+ Statistics Collection Manager. See "Configuring Statistics Collection Manager" in Chapter 4.
6. Start the Cisco SV+ 9.1 software. See "Initial Start-Up of Cisco StrataView Plus" in Chapter 4.
7. How to configure a modem for dial-in support. See "Configuring Modem for Dial-In from Customer Service (Auto-Answer)" in Chapter 4.
8. How to remotely start the Cisco SV+ Desktop Graphical User Interface (GUI). See "Starting the Cisco StrataView Plus Desktop GUI from Another Workstation" in Chapter 4.
The Cisco SV+ 9.1 software can be loaded from either a locally attached or remote CD-ROM drive.
Step 1 Remove the Cisco SV+ 9.1 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#
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
Step 2 Mount the CD-ROM drive on the mount point:
host# /etc/mount -v'cdrfs' -f'' -r'' /dev/cd0 /cdrom
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 Cisco SV+ 9.1 software is to be installed.
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.
To ensure a smooth Cisco SV+ 9.1 AIX installation, be aware of the following:
1. You must have the AIX 4.1 operating system installed on your PowerPC and you must have user root access to the PowerPC.
2. You must have the IBM Netview 4.1 application installed on your PowerPC prior to installing Cisco SV+ 9.1.
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 Cisco SV+ 9.1 product package. Follow the installation instructions provided in the Wingz Installation Guide.
4. When you plan on using the Cisco SV+ Equipment Management functionality for BPX/IGX release 9.1 or for AXIS 4.1, you must have CiscoView 4.1 installed on your PowerPC. This application is available on a separate CD included in your Cisco SV+ 9.1 product package. Follow the installation instructions provided in the CiscoView Installation Guide.
5. You are expected to know which disk is set aside for /usr/users, when more than two disks exist on your PowerPC.
6. For a dual disk arrangement:
7. This release of Cisco SV+ does not support swap on the secondary disk.
This subsection provides you instructions on how to install the Informix 7.23 related files from the Cisco SV+ 9.1 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.
Step 7 Select the Install/Update Selectable Software (Custom Install) option.
Step 8 Select the Install Software Products at Latest Level option.
Step 9 Select the Install New Software Products at Latest Level option.
Step 10 Specify the CD ROM device name or select CDROM device from the list.
Step 11 Click on OK button to continue.
Step 12 Click on the List button in the SOFTWARE To Install list in the Multi-select List window.
Step 13 Select Informix from the list, then click on the OK button.
Note, during installation, the install program verifies whether or not the following groups and user accounts exist:
Groups:
informix groupid=79
svplus groupid=21
User Accounts:
informix userid=270 home=/usr/users/informix72 groupid=79
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 Cisco SV+ installer, installation fails.
This section instructs you how to install the Cisco SV+ 9.1 related files from the 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.
Step 7 Select the Install/Update Selectable Software (Custom Install) option.
Step 8 Select the Install Software Products at Latest Level option.
Step 9 Select the Install New Software Products at Latest Level option.

informix userid=270 home=/usr/users/informix72 groupid=79
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 Cisco SV+ installer, installation fails.
