CiscoWorks CD Installation for SunOS

The following instructions describe how to install the CiscoWorks' CD-ROM on SunOS from either a local or a remote computer .

---

Note Perform all tasks as the superuser.

---

Installing from a Local CD-ROM

To install the CD-ROM from a local CD-ROM drive, perform the following steps:

1. Log in as the superuser by entering su and the root password.
   
   
2. If a /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter:
   

# mkdir /cdrom

1. Insert the CD-ROM in the drive.
   
   
2. Mount the CD-ROM by entering:
   

# /etc/mount -rt hsfs /dev/device_name /cdrom 

-r mounts the CD-ROM in read-only mode.

-t indicates the type of filesystem, where hsfs specifies a filesystem with an ISO 9660 standard or High Sierra standard with Rock Ridge extensions and a CDFS filesystem.

device_name is the device that you mount, usually sr0.

If you do not use these options, media error messages may display on the console.

Installing from a Remote CD-ROM

To install the CD-ROM from a remote CD-ROM drive, perform the following steps:

1. Go to the remote machine and log in as the superuser by entering su and the root password.
   
   
2. If a /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter:
   

# mkdir /cdrom

1. Insert the CD-ROM into the drive.
   
   
2. Use a text editor to create an /etc/exports file, if one does not exist.
   
   
3. If the remote machine is running SunOS, add the following line to the /etc/exports file, and then skip to Step 7:
   

/cdrom -ro

1. If the remote machine is running Solaris, enter the following command, and then skip to Step 10:
   

# share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0

The CD is automatically mounted on a Solaris machine. Refer to the "CiscoWorks CD Installation for Solaris" section for information about mounting a CD and setting up an NFS server on Solaris.

1. If the remote machine is running SunOS, make sure that your workstation is enabled as an NFS server by entering:
   

# ps -ax | grep nfsd | grep -v grep
# ps -ax | grep rpc.mountd | grep -v grep

Both nfsd and rpc.mountd daemons must be running for a workstation to be an NFS server.

If no nfsd daemons are running, start some by entering:

# /usr/etc/nfsd 8 &

If the rpc.mountd daemon is not running, start it by entering:

# /usr/etc/rpc.mountd -n

1. If the remote machine is running SunOS, mount the CD by entering:
   

# /etc/mount -rt hsfs /dev/device_name /cdrom 

-r mounts the CD-ROM in read-only mode.

-t indicates the type of filesystem, where hsfs specifies a filesystem with an ISO 9660 standard or High Sierra standard with Rock Ridge extensions and a CDFS filesystem.

device_name is the device that you mount, usually sr0.

If you do not use these options, media error messages may display on the console.

1. If the remote machine is running SunOS, enter:
   

# exportfs -a

1. Go to the local machine and log in as the superuser by entering su and the root password.
   
   
2. If a /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter:
   

# mkdir /cdrom

1. Mount the CD as follows:
   

   If the remote CD-ROM is on a SunOS machine, enter:

   
   

# /etc/mount remote_machinename:/cdrom /cdrom

If the remote CD-ROM is on a Solaris machine, enter:

# /etc/mount remote_machinename:/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom

Installing or Upgrading on SunOS

To install or upgrade the CiscoWorks files, perform the following steps:

1. Depending on your network management platform, enter one of the following commands:
   

   On SunNet Manager, enter:

   
   

# cd /cdrom/SunOS_SNM

On HP OpenView 3.x, enter:

# cd /cdrom/SunOS_OV3

1. If you are installing CiscoWorks for the first time, enter:
   

# setenv NMSROOT /usr/nmscw

1. Extract the files from the CD-ROM by entering:
   

# ./extract_unbundled

Include the ./ in the extract_unbundled command to run the correct version of this command.

1. Answer the system prompt questions.
   
   
2. If you answered yes when prompted about automatic kernel modification, reboot your system after the installation. Rebooting ensures that the new kernel is used. Enter the following command:
   

# reboot

If you answered no when prompted about automatic kernel modification, you must manually update the kernel before rebooting. This procedure is described in the "Manually Entered Sybase Modifications to the Kernel Configuration File" section of the CiscoWorks Installation Guide for SunOS.

1. Log into your system as superuser (root) after your computer reboots:
   

login: root
password:rootpassword
#

1. If you are upgrading from a previous version of CiscoWorks, shut down the CiscoWorks processes by entering:
   

# source $NMSROOT/etc/install.cshrc
# shutdown_nms

1. Complete the configuration of CiscoWorks by entering:
   

# /var/tmp/unbundled/cwconfigure

Answer the system prompt questions.

1. To unmount and eject the CD-ROM from your local machine, enter the following commands:
   

# cd /
# umount /cdrom
# eject /dev/device_name

Remove the CD-ROM from the drive and store it in a safe place.

1. To unmount and eject the CD-ROM from a remote machine, enter the following commands from your local machine:
   

# cd /
# umount /cdrom

1. Log into the remote machine as root and enter the following commands:
   

# cd /
# umount /cdrom
# eject /dev/device_name

Remove the CD-ROM from the drive and store it in a safe place.
