Installing the CiscoWorks NetView Interface

This chapter describes how to install the CiscoWorks NetView Interface software. Before you proceed with the installation tasks, ensure that you have gathered all the recommended information in the previous chapter, "Preparing to Install the CiscoWorks NetView Interface."

The following is a brief overview of steps necessary to install the CiscoWorks NetView Interface:

This installation consists of three parts:

The installation process takes approximately 30 minutes, although the amount of time can vary depending on your system performance and installation method. An installation from a CD-ROM drive attached to a remote device might take longer.

Once you have completed these tasks, you must configure the IBM hosts and the SNA Peer-to-Peer RTE software. See Chapter 4 for detailed instructions.


Mounting the CiscoWorks NetView Interface CD-ROM

The CiscoWorks NetView Interface software consists of two CD-ROMs. The CiscoWorks NetView Interface CD-ROM contains CiscoWorks NetView Interface software and Sun software patches. The second CD-ROM contains the SunLink SNA Peer-to-Peer RTE software. You must have super-user access on the machine on which you are loading CiscoWorks NetView Interface in order to run the installation scripts.

The installation process consists of mounting the CiscoWorks NetView Interface CD-ROM and extracting the software. First it will extract the CiscoWorks NetView Interface files used by the scripts to construct software that is specific to the architecture of your system. It also extracts the Sun patches to the SNA Peer-to-Peer RunTime Environment that are required for CiscoWorks NetView Interface to work. The installation also prompts you to insert the second CD-ROM and proceed with the installation for the SNA Peer-to-Peer RTE.

There are two ways to mount a CD-ROM:

Both instructions are described in the following sections.

To mount the CD-ROM and run the installation script, you must be a super user (root). Refer to "Becoming the Superuser" in Chapter 2 for detailed instructions on how to log in as a superuser.

Note: Some directories might be in disk partitions that are almost full. Refer to the Sun manual System and Network Administration or the manual pages: mount(8), newfs(8), and fstab(5) for more information on disk partitions. These manual pages apply to both the printed UNIX manual and the online version.

To access the online manual page for mount(8) for example, enter the command man 8 mount at the pound sign (#) prompt.


Mounting from a Local CD-ROM Drive

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

Step 1: Place the CD-ROM into its caddy and insert it into the CD-ROM drive.

Step 2: Become the superuser by entering su and the root password.

Step 3: If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create a new directory:


# mkdir /cdrom

If the /cdrom directory already exists, proceed to the next step.

Step 4: To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command:


# mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom

In this command, the -r option mounts the CD-ROM in ReadOnly mode. The -t indicates the type of filesystem, where hsfs specifies a filesystem with an ISO 9660 Standard or High Sierra Standard with Rock Ridge extensions. If you do not use these options, media error messages might display on the console.


Mounting from a Remote CD-ROM Drive

To mount the CD-ROM from a remote CD-ROM drive, perform the following steps on the remote machine:

Step 1: Place the CD-ROM into its caddy and insert it into the CD-ROM drive.

Step 2: Become the superuser by entering su and the root password.

Step 3: If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create a new directory:


# mkdir /cdrom

If the /cdrom directory already exists, proceed to the next step.

Step 4: If the /etc/exports file does not exist, create it.

Step 5: Edit the /etc/exports file to include the following line:


/cdrom -ro

Step 6: To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command:


# mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom

In this command, the -r option mounts the CD-ROM in ReadOnly mode. The -t indicates the type of filesystem, where hsfs specifies a filesystem with an ISO 9660 Standard or High Sierra Standard with Rock Ridge extensions. If you do not use these options, media error messages might display on the console.

Step 7: If the /etc/exports file existed previously, run exportfs -a.

If /etc/exports did not exist, reboot your machine to become an NFS server.

Complete the following steps on the local machine:

Step 8: Become the superuser by entering su and the root password.

Step 9: If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create a new directory:


# mkdir /cdrom

Step 10: To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command:


# mount remote_machinename :/cdrom /cdrom


Running extract_unbundled Script

You install CiscoWorks by invoking and running the extract_unbundled script provided on the CiscoWorks NetView Interface CD-ROM. This script is our own version of extract_unbundled. The extract_unbundled script provides an interactive prompt and response dialog interface that guides you through the installation process. Refer to the CiscoWorks NetView Installation Worksheet for the information necessary before you proceed with the installation script.

Note: You can exit the installation script at any time by typing Control C (^C) to return to the UNIX environment. The responses you have made up to the point you exit will be recorded for use as the defaults the next time you start the installation process.

The superuser's .rhosts file on the remote system must contain your system's local host name and your username. Otherwise, you will not be able to access the remote system to download software from the remote system's CD-ROM drive. For more information, refer to the manual pages on rhosts.

If you use a local CD-ROM drive, the CiscoWorks NetView Interface software is installed directly on your system.

Note: Some of the output displayed by the sample installation script is not included. Ellipses (...) in the script indicate that some output is not displayed. A bracketed item ([ ]) after a prompt denotes the default response. If a bracketed item appears without any input next to it, the default value has been accepted.

The installation has three parts:

  • The first part installs software related to CiscoWorks.

  • The second part installs SunLink SNA Peer-to-Peer RunTime Environment.

  • The third part copies the software to appropriate directories.

This section provides a detailed procedure that shows you how to install the CiscoWorks NetView Interface software either from a remote CD-ROM drive or a local CD-ROM drive.

The sample installation script uses the following values and hardware:

  • $NMSROOT is the directory where the CiscoWorks NetView Interface software is being installed.

  • netmgmt is the name of the system where the CiscoWorks NetView Interface is being installed.

  • /dev/sr0 is the name of the CD-ROM drive where the CiscoWorks CD-ROM is inserted.

  • /usr/nms is the name of the CiscoWorks software directory.

  • enterprise is the name of the remote system to which the remote CD-ROM drive is attached.

  • The Sun SPARCstation uses Sun4c architecture.

Substitute the appropriate usernames and directory path names when you install the software.

To run the /cdrom/extract_unbundled script, perform the following steps:

Step 1: If you are performing a remote mount, ensure you have completed the steps in the previous section "Mounting from a Remote CD-ROM Drive."

Step 2: To extract the files from the CD-ROM, enter the following commands at the UNIX prompt:


# cd /
# /cdrom/extract_unbundled

Make sure you enter /cdrom/extract_unbundled to ensure that you run the correct version of this command. The following output is produced:


./extract_unbundled: The following product will be installed:

******* CiscoWorks NetView Interface 1.0 INSTALLATION *******

******** If using remote cdrom you must have root ********
access to the remote machine

INSTALLATION SETUP:
Step 1
This section of the CiscoWorks NetView Interface 1.0
installation will ask you to specify the directory path where
CiscoWorks is installed.
You must have write access to the CiscoWorks directory.

This installation needs a temporary work directory. By default
the installation will use /usr/tmp. If this directory does not
have enough space or the directory has no write permission the
installation will prompt you for another temporary work directory.

The installation has three steps:
1) The first step installs CiscoWorks related software.
2) The second step installs:
SunLink SNA Peer-to-Peer RunTime Environment.
3) The third step copies the software to appropriate
directories.

The installation will take approximately 30 minutes.

Step 4: Indicate whether or not the CiscoWorks software is already installed.


Is CiscoWorks installed at your site? [yes]

If the CiscoWorks software is not installed, the installation aborts. You should install CiscoWorks, then resume the installation of the CiscoWorks NetView Interface software.

Step 5: Specify the directory where CiscoWorks is installed.


What directory does the CiscoWorks software reside in? [/usr/nms]

If you set the $NMSROOT environment variable in CiscoWorks, that variable is used as the default. If it is not set, the default directory is /usr/nms.

Press Return to accept the displayed directory or enter the complete path for the directory where you want the software installed. A temporary directory,
/usr/tmp/cisco, is created.

Step 6: Confirm the information you specified earlier.


CiscoWorks Directory : /usr/nms
Is this value correct? [y]

If your installation is of a different type or you wish to install the software in a different directory, enter n. You are returned to the beginning of the
extract_unbundled script. Otherwise, press Return to continue. Note that the remote host line will not appear if you are installing the software on a local host.

The CiscoWorks software is copied onto your system. It takes approximately 20 minutes for the files to be copied to your system. While the files are being copied, you will see output similar to the following:

Continue to the next section on verifying the installation before configuring the CiscoWork NetView Interface.


Verifying the Installation

This section explains how to verify the software installation. Verification ensures that the software has been loaded properly.


CiscoWorks NetView Interface

To verify that the CiscoWorks NetView Interface software was successfully installed, enter the following at the command line: 

hostname% $NMSROOT/bin/netmenu

The system should respond with netmenu output that describes the RUNCMD commands available. Refer to Chapter 6 for a sample of netmenu output.

Continue to Chapter 4, "Configuring the CiscoWorks NetView Interface," to configure the IBM and SunLink portion of the installation.


Contacting your IBM Administrator to Add PU Definitions

Because you are required to use SNA configuration file parameters during the configuration of this software, you may want to contact your IBM administrator before you perform the configuration. Notify the administrator that you are installing the CiscoWorks NetView Interface and that you will need to synchronize some of the VTAM definitions with the software configuration file you are installing. Refer to section "Configuring the IBM SNA Configuration" in Chapter 4 for more information on what is required.
