Your StrataView Plus installation will be either a first time installation, or an upgrade. This manual is a guide to performing a first time manual or automated installation of StrataView Plus and associated software programs. Chapter 2 provides the first time installation procedure. Chapter 3 provides the procedure for upgrading an existing StrataView Plus installation.
StrataView Plus Release 8.4 should be installed on a Sun SPARCstation 20 or a Sun UltraSparc. The Solaris operating system must be installed on the workstation before you install StrataView Plus. For instructions on installing the Solaris operating system, refer to the appropriate Sun documentation. This documentation is not provided by Cisco/StrataCom.
StrataView Plus runs under HP OpenView. If you already have HP OpenView installed on your SPARCstation, proceed with the installation of StrataView Plus. For instructions on installing HP OpenView, refer to the appropriate HP documentation.
StrataView Plus Release 8.4 may be installed as either an upgrade to an existing StrataView Plus 8.2 or 8.1 installation or as an initial installation.
If the StrataView Plus release on the workstation is earlier than StrataView Plus 8.1, follow this guideline:
Because of changes in the database schema you will not be able to directly restore a database from a version of StrataView Plus earlier than StrataView Plus 8.1. If you have an earlier version of StrataView Plus than 8.1, check with Technical Support for assistance in migrating to StrataView Plus 8.4.
The minimum recommended hard disk and memory configuration consists of two 2-GB disks and a minimum of 128 MB of memory.
If a single StrataView Plus NMS workstation is connected to a large network, the statistics collection performance of the Statistics Collection Manager can be markedly improved (up to 40% more I/O throughput) by adding a second SCSI-2 interface and a second external hard disk drive. The second external hard drive capacity should be 2 GB or greater.
The StrataView Plus Network Management Station requires the following software elements:
The following software packages are available on CD-ROM, unless tape is specified:
If you have not already done so, refer to the Cisco StrataView Plus Operations Guide for information on disk capacity and other statistics collection requirements relevant to planning the statistics configuration for your network.
