This document discusses Cisco Resource Manager 1.1. Use this document with the Cisco Resource Manager Installation Guide for Solaris.
This release notes document consists of the following sections:
Make sure your server meets the following hardware and software requirements.
The hardware platform, memory, and disk space requirements for the Resource Manager server are
Resource Manager requires either Solaris 2.6 or Solaris 2.5.1 (with patch 103738-xx).
If you are using Solaris 2.5.1, Cisco recommends you use patch 103738-03 or later (103738-05 as of the writing of this document) because it fixes a known Solaris problem with syslogd. The Solaris patch is available only to users with Sun service contracts. You can find additional information about the Solaris 2.5.1 patch at the following location:
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/netmgmt/rm-planner.shtml
Resource Manager lets you import device information from both local and remote network management databases identified in Table 1.
Resource Manager can be installed on the same machine as HP OpenView, CiscoWorks, and CiscoWorks for Switched Internetworks (CWSI) without any compatibility problems.
For remote device imports, the remote server must be a Solaris, HP-UX, or AIX machine. Resource Manager does not support remote device imports from Windows NT machines.

The Resource Manager Software Management module supports Cisco IOS system software upgrades for the following devices:
Full support is provided for devices running Cisco IOS Versions 10.3 to 11.2 only. Unless your devices are running at least Cisco IOS Version 10.3, all MIB values might not be supported. As a result, devices running versions of IOS earlier than 10.3 might not provide all device details.
The documentation for Resource Manager consists of:
Customer documentation can also be found on the Cisco Enterprise Customer Documentation CD or on Cisco Connection Online (CCO).
A CCO web page for Resource Manager contains links to marketing and technical documentation and includes the latest downloadable Resource Manager files. To find the latest Resource Manager information, point your web browser to the following location:
http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/netmgmt/rm-planner.shtml
This section contains the notes and general caveats that apply to Resource Manager on the Solaris 2.6 and 2.5.1 operating systems. It consists of the following sections:
A Solaris SPARC20 or equivalent is the lowest workstation in the Sun product line on which Cisco recommends you install Resource Manager.
Resource Manager relies on host-name-to-IP-address lookup for accessing devices and interacting with the web server. The lookup mechanism used by the Resource Manager server must guarantee that all host name lookups for a given IP address always return the same string for all environments in your network. See the Cisco Resource Manager 1.1 Installation Guide for Solaris for more information about server requirements.
Using the Apache http server to support software not installed by Cisco Resource Manager is not supported.
The following caveats describe installation issues.
If the Solaris system on which you are installing Resource Manager already has a web server running on port 80, you must ensure the following line appears in /etc/services to indicate its presence:
httpd 80/tcp # web server
If you do not enter this line, Resource Manager will conflict with the other web server. [CSCdj60413]
If you install Resource Manager somewhere other than the default directory (/opt/CSCOpx), the uninstall script, uninstall.sh, does not remove the Resource Manager directory. To resolve this issue, run the following commands after running uninstall.sh:
# cd /opt
# rm -f ./CSCOpx
# rm -rf directory
where directory is the full pathname to the directory in which Resource Manager was installed.
If you are upgrading to Resource Manager 1.1 from Resource Manager 1.0, Cisco recommends you back up your database completely when you complete the upgrade.
If any screens do not look right, for example, if a graph looks awkward or text scrolls off a screen, reload or refresh the browser page. Usually, if you reload or refresh the page, the problem corrects itself.
Printing does not work reliably. To print an exact copy of a Resource Manager screen, use the Print Screen or Capture Screen function on your machine.
If your site operates behind a firewall that is filtering JavaScript, you might not connect successfully to the CCO home page if you select Home > Cisco Connection Online > Home Page. Instead, the CCO home page causes errors to be generated because of JavaScript references outside
