Network Management Support CD Instructions

This CD-ROM contains the latest Cisco network management device and application support files. These files are organized into product packages and provide up-to-date management support for the latest Cisco devices.

For all platforms, follow the instructions to mount and then refer to the software installation instructions located on the CD-ROM in a README file. There will be README files for each platform/product. If you are using a PC, mounting is unnecessary, so skip directly to the PC README file for instructions.

For information on what Cisco device packages are included on this CD-ROM, refer to the README_FIRST file. For information on installing Cisco device packages for use with CiscoView, refer to the cvinstall_README file for your platform.

For the latest device support, refer to the Software Library area on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) at http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/
Library_root.shtml.

The following instructions describe mounting information for this CD-ROM from either a local or a remote machine. Included are procedures for mounting on SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX (Versions 9.x and 10.x), and AIX. Windows 95 and Windows NT do not require special mounting instructions. Skip directly to the Windows README file.

Mounting on a SunOS Workstation

This section describes mounting the support CD-ROM on a SunOS 4.1.x system.

Mounting from a Local CD-ROM Drive

Insert the support CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive; then perform the following steps:

1. Become the superuser by entering su and the root password at the command prompt, or log in as root. The command prompt changes to the pound sign (#).
   
   
2. If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create it:
   

# mkdir /cdrom

1. Mount the CD-ROM drive by entering the following command:
   

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

The -r option mounts the CD-ROM drive in read-only mode, and the -t option indicates the type of file system, where hsfs specifies a file system with an ISO 9660 standard or High Sierra standard with Rock Ridge extensions. The device_name argument specifies the device that you mount, usually sr0. If you do not use these options, media error messages may appear on the console.

To install CiscoView packages, follow the instructions in the cvinstall_sun_README file located on the CD.

Mounting from a Remote CD-ROM Drive

Insert the support CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive; then perform the following steps on the remote machine:

1. Become the superuser by entering su and the root password at the command prompt, or log in as root. The command prompt changes to the pound sign (#).
   
   
2. Use a text editor to create an /etc/exports file, if one does not exist.
   
   
3. Add the following line to the /etc/exports file:
   

/cdrom -ro

1. Ensure that your workstation is enabled as an NFS server, as follows:
   

   Verify NFS server status with the following command:

   
   

# ps -ax | grep nfsd | 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 with the following command:

# nfsd 8 &

Verify rpc.mountd daemon status with the following command:

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

If no rpc.mountd daemon is running, start one with the following command:

# /usr/etc/rpc.mountd -n

1. To mount the CD-ROM drive, enter the following command:
   

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

1. Run exportfs -a with the following command:
   

# exportfs -a

1. Go to the local machine.
   
   
2. Become the superuser by entering su and the root password.
   
   
3. Create a /cdrom directory, if one does not already exist, by entering the following command:
   

# mkdir /cdrom

1. To mount the CD-ROM drive, enter the following command:
   

# /etc/mount -r remote_machine_name:/cdrom /cdrom

To install CiscoView packages, follow the instructions in the cvinstall_sun_README file located on the CD.

Mounting on Sun/Solaris

This section describes mounting the support CD-ROM on a Sun/Solaris 2.4 or 2.5 system.

Mounting from a Local CD-ROM Drive

Insert the support CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive; then perform the following steps:

1. Become the superuser by entering su and the root password at the command prompt, or log in as root. The command prompt changes to the pound sign (#).
   
   
2. If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create it:
   

# mkdir /cdrom

1. Mount the CD-ROM drive.
   

   The vold daemon manages the CD-ROM device and performs the mounting. The CD-ROM may automatically mount onto the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory. If you are running File Manager, a separate File Manager window displays the contents of the CD-ROM disk. If the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory is empty because the CD was not mounted, or if File Manager did not open a window displaying the contents of the CD-ROM disk, verify if the vold daemon is running by entering the following command:

   
   

# ps -e | grep vold | grep -v grep

If the system does not display anything, enter the following command:

# /usr/sbin/vold &

If the vold daemon is running but did not mount the CD, stop the daemon process and then restart it.

# kill -15 process_ID_number
# /usr/sbin/vold &

To install CiscoView packages, follow the instructions in the cvinstall_sol_README file located on the CD.

Mounting from a Remote CD-ROM Drive

Insert the support CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive; then perform steps 1 through 6 on the remote machine.

1. Become the superuser by entering su and the root password at the command prompt, or log in as root. The command prompt changes to the pound sign (#).
   
   
2. If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create it:
   

# mkdir /cdrom

# ps -ef | grep nfs | grep -v grep

# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start

share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0

1. Mount the CD-ROM drive.
   

   The vold daemon manages the CD-ROM device and performs the mounting. The CD-ROM may automatically mount onto the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory. If you are running File Manager, a separate File Manager window displays the contents of the CD-ROM disk. If the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory is empty because the CD was not mounted, or if File Manager did not open a window displaying the contents of the CD-ROM disk, verify if the vold daemon is running by entering the following command:

   
   

# ps -e | grep vold | grep -v grep

# /usr/sbin/vold &

# kill -15 process_ID_number
# /usr/sbin/vold &

# mkdir -p /cdrom/cv

# /usr/sbin/mount -r remote_machinename:/cdrom/cdrom0 /cdrom/cv
