First Time Manual Installation Procedures

First Time Manual Installation Procedures

The chapter guides you through a first time manual installation of Cisco StrataView Plus (SV+) and its associated software programs. When you are installing Cisco SV+ 9.1 as an upgrade to an earlier version of Cisco SV+, see "Upgrade Installation Procedures" in Chapter 4.


Note Prior to installing Cisco SV+ 9.1, you must have Sun's Solaris 2.5.1 and optionally, though strongly recommended, Hewlett Packard's OpenView 5.01 installed on your workstation. You may also need to customize the set up of the raw partition size for Informix OnLine. For limited instructions on installing the Solaris 2.5.1 and partitioning your disk for Informix OnLine, see Appendix A, as well as the Sun Installation Guide. For instructions on installing HP OpenView, refer to the HP OpenView Installation Guide.

When Solaris 2.5.1 and HP OpenView 5.01 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 HP OpenView 5.01 and/or Wingz 2.5.5 applications in conjunction with the Cisco SV+ 9.1 product, you must install these applications prior to installing Cisco SV+ 9.1.

When you plan to use the CiscoView 4.2 application in conjunction with the Cisco SV+ 9.1 product, you do not have to install CiscoView 4.2 prior to installing Cisco SV+ 9.1.

Installing the Cisco StrataView Plus 9.1 Software

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, configure the various product components, and start the Cisco SV+ 9.1 software.


Note All processes referring to /usr/users are killed as part of the installation process. Therefore, do not login as user root when you are already logged in as user svplus. Instead, logout first, then login as user root.

    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. Manually install the Cisco SV+ 9.1 software packages. See "Installing StrataView Plus Manually".

    5. Configure the Statistics Collection Manager. See "Configuring Statistics Collection Manager" in Chapter 5.

    6. Start the Cisco SV+ 9.1 software. See "Initial Start-Up of Cisco StrataView Plus" in Chapter 5.

    7. How to configure a modem for dial-in support. See "Customer Service Dial-In to Cisco StrataView Plus Via Modem" in Chapter 5.

    8. How to remotely start the SV+ Graphical User Interface. See "Starting the Cisco StrataView Plus Desktop from Another Workstation" in Chapter 5.

Loading the CD-ROM

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 super user root:
host% su
host% Password: <su root password>
host#

Mounting the Locally Attached CD-ROM Drive

The mount instructions for a locally attached CD-ROM drive for the Solaris operating system are provided in this section.

Step 1 When a CD-ROM drive mount point does not exist, create one as follows:
host# mkdir /cdrom
host# mkdir /cdrom/cdrom0


Note When the CD-ROM drive is already mounted or you are running the volume manager with Solaris on a Sun SPARC system, this mount step is not necessary.

Step 2 Mount the CD-ROM drive on the mount point (when not running Volume Management):
host# /usr/sbin/mount -rF hsfs <device> /cdrom/cdrom0

where <device> is the name of the locally attached CD-ROM drive. For example, to mount the CD-ROM from the local drive named /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0, specify:

host# /usr/sbin/mount -rF hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom/cdrom0

Mounting a Remotely Attached CD-ROM Drive

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.

Exporting the CD-ROM Drive from a Remote SunOS Host

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/etc/exportfs /cdrom

Step 3 If they are not already running, start the following NFS mount daemons:
host# /usr/etc/nfsd 8
host# /usr/etc/rpc.mountd

Step 4 Verify the mount point is being exported by the remote host. The listing produced by this command should include the /cdrom mount point.
host# /usr/etc/exportfs

Step 5 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 6 On the client machine, mount the remotely installed CD-ROM device:
host# /usr/sbin/mount <remote_server>: /cdrom /cdrom/cdrom0

Step 7 Proceed to "Installing StrataView Plus Manually".

To Export the CD-ROM Drive From a Remote Solaris Host

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 When they are not already running, start the following NFS mount daemons:
host# /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd 8
host# /usr/lib/nfs/mountd

Step 2 Share the mount point from the remote system:
host# /usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0

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/share

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/cdrom0 /cdrom/cdrom0

Step 6 Proceed to "Installing StrataView Plus Manually".

Installing StrataView Plus Manually

For the manual installation of Cisco SV+ Release 9.1 to complete successfully, you must have:

Running the install_config Program

You must invoke the install_config program to perform disk partitioning and to extract other relevant software packages.


Note Disk partitioning differs from one disk configuration to another, as shown in Table 2-2. This section covers the install_config procedure for disk configuration number one only. For the other disk configurations (two through six), refer to the appropriate "Installing Cisco StrataView Plus with Disk Configuration <N>" sections, where <N> ranges from 2 to 6.

Step 1 At the command line prompt, type:
host# cd /var/SVconfig

Step 2 Invoke the installer script, type:
host# ./install_config

The system prompts you as follows:

Do you want to do an Auto Install or a Manual Install? [a|m)(default(auto):a <Return>

Note, you must specify either "a" or press Return to invoke an Auto Install.

Are you installing from a <spool> directory or <cdrom>? cdrom <Return>

The system only prompts you with the following message when Auto Install is performed for the first time on this workstation. When this is not the case, the script continues with the: "Using /cdrom/cdrom0 as device name." message below, therefore, you can skip steps 3 and 4. When it is a first time auto installation, the following prompt is displayed:

Reboot the workstation and then run install_config from /var/SVconfig again.
Press <Return> to reboot the machine or Ctrl-c to quit: <Return>

Step 3 Login as user root.

Step 4 Change directory to the Cisco SV+ 9.1 installation directory, then invoke the installation script:

host# cd /var/SVconfig
host# ./install_config

Using /cdrom/cdrom0 as device name.
