Post Software Installation Tasks

After you have completed the software installation, you must complete the following tasks before launching the SV+ application.

SV+ Workstation Modifications Required

The following tasks must be performed at the SV+ workstation after installing SV+ software.

Modify config.sv File

As user svplus, use vi to modify the one line file, /usr/users/svplus/config.sv. Following is the default value of the config.sv file:

0|Network1|/dev/ttya|9600|0|7|6|0|30|256|9.1|nwip_on|

Change the third field (/dev/ttya) to name of your gateway node. Change the last field to nwip_off if you plan to use in-band management.

Other SV+ Workstation Tasks

As user root at the SV+ workstation, complete the following:

Step 1 Check for all node's IP LAN and IP-Relay addresses and node names:

# more /etc/hosts

Step 2 Check for all subnet entries.

# more /etc/netmasks

Step 3 Check to ensure that the IP relay address is directed towards the gateway node.

# more /etc/rc2.d/S72inetsvc

Step 4 If the SV+ workstation uses a default router, check for the gateway node address.

# more defaultrouter

Changes Required for Wingz

As user svplus, enter the following commands:

% su

# cd /usr/users/svplus

# IntegrateWingz

Note  There is a Wingz error message issue you should be aware of. After you launch the SV+ Reports desktop application, Wingz 2.55 opens a default worksheet titled sheet.wkz. Close this file immediately before continuing.

Changes Required for CiscoView 4.2

As user root, complete the following:

Step 1 Use vi to edit the /etc/default/login file to allow remote login as root.

Place a # in front of CONSOLE=/dev/console, then write and quit vi.

Step 2 Add the device packages for BPX, AXIS and IGX to the /usr/nms/cv_pkgs directory.

# cd /usr /nms/cv_pkgs

Step 3 Obtain the device package files from CCO or a server and ftp them to the /usr/nms/cv_pkgs directory.

Step 4 Uncompress and tar the files in /usr/nms/cv_pkgs directory.

# uncompress <file_name>

# tar -xvf <file_name>

# NMSROOT=/opt/CSCOcv

# export NMSROOT

# su svplus

Step 5 As user svplus, use vi to modify the /usr/users/svplus/.cshrc file to add the following line above the setenv Turbo True line.

source /opt/CSCOcv/etc/CVinstall.cshrc

Step 6 As user root, enter the following commands:

# csh

# cd /opt/CSCOcv/bin

Step 7 Perform the following for each device package, substituting the correct package name for device_name.pkg.

# ./cvinstall /usr/nms/cv_pkgs/device_name.pkg

Changes Required At Nodes

Provide the following configuration parameters at each node in the network managed by SV+.

Configuration Command

Parameters or Function

cnflan

LAN IP Address, subnet mask, default router gateway address
