CiscoWorks
CD-ROM Installation Instructions

Before beginning the installation procedure, place the CiscoWorks(TM) CD-ROM into its caddy and insert it into the CD-ROM drive. The following instructions describe mounting and installing it from either a local or a remote machine. Refer to the specific instructions required for your system setup. Perform all tasks as the superuser.


Mounting from a Local CD-ROM

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

  1. Become the superuser by entering su and the root password.

  2. 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.

  1. To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command:
    On Sun: 
# mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
On HP-UX: 
# mount -rt cdfs /dev/cdrom /cdrom
In this command, the -r option mounts the CD-ROM in read-only 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 or a CDFS filesystem. If you do not use these options, media error messages may display on the console.

Proceed to the appropriate section to perform your installation.


Mounting from a Remote CD-ROM

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

  1. Become the superuser by entering su and the root password.

  2. 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.

  1. If the /etc/exports file does not exist, create it.

  2. Edit the /etc/exports file to include the following line: 
        /cdrom -ro

  1. If /etc/exports did not exist, enter the following commands to reboot your machine to become an NFS server: 
# nfsd 8 &

        # rpc.mountd -n

  1. To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command:
    On Sun: 
# mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
On HP-UX: 
# mount -rt cdfs /dev/cdrom /cdrom
In this command, the -r option mounts the CD-ROM in read-only 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 or a CDFS filesystem. If you do not use these options, media error messages may display on the console.

  1. To run exportfs -a, enter the following command: 
# exportfs -a

Perform the following steps on the local machine:

  1. Become the superuser by entering su and the root password.

  2. If the /cdrom directory does not already exist, enter the following command to create a new directory: 
# mkdir /cdrom

  1. To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command: 
# mount remote_machinename:/cdrom /cdrom

Proceed to "Installing on SunOS or Solaris" or "Installing on HP-UX."


Installing on SunOS or Solaris

To install the CiscoWorks files on a Sun platform, perform the following steps:

  1. To extract the files from the CD-ROM, enter the following commands at the UNIX prompt: 
# cd /cdrom

        # ./extract_unbundled
Make sure you include the ./ in the extract_unbundled command to ensure that you run the correct version of this command.

  1. Answer the system prompt questions. For detailed installation information, refer to the CiscoWorks Administrator and Installation Guide.

  2. After installation of the CiscoWorks files, enter the following commands to configure CiscoWorks: 
# /var/tmp/unbundled/ncsconfigure
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 sr0
The CD-ROM caddy is ejected from the drive. Remove the CD-ROM from the caddy and store 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. Login to the remote machine and enter the following commands: 
#         cd /

# umount /cdrom

# eject sr0
The CD-ROM caddy is ejected from the drive. Remove the CD-ROM from the caddy and store in a safe place.

  1. To complete the installation, refer to the CiscoWorks Administrator and Installation Guide.


Installing on HP-UX

To install the CiscoWorks files on an HP-UX platform, perform the following steps:

  1. Create the directory to which you will install CiscoWorks files: 
# mkdir /usr/nms
Ensure you have enough disk space to load CiscoWorks.

  1. Enter the update command to load the installation and configuration scripts: 
# /etc/update -s /cdrom/cw.tar -d /usr/nms CWIC
The -s option specifies where the CiscoWorks software is located on the CD-ROM. The -d option indicates the destination where the scripts are stored. For example, if you enter the pathname /usr/nms, the scripts are stored in /usr/nms/install/bin/ncsinstall and
/usr/nms/install/bin/ncsconfigure.

  1. Enter the ncsinstall command to install the CiscoWorks software.
    If Sybase does not exist on the system, enter: 

# /usr/nms/install/bin/ncsinstall -s /cdrom/cw.tar 

-d         /usr/nms
If Sybase already exists on the system, enter: 
# /usr/nms/install/bin/ncsinstall -s /cdrom/cw.tar 

-d         /usr/nms -nosybase
If you do not enter any options, ncsinstall prompts you for them.
The pathname you enter after the -s option is the same as the source pathname you entered in step 2. The -d option specifies where the CiscoWorks software will be installed.
Other ncsinstall command options include:
-db <nms database size>
-log <log size>
-syb <sybase pathname>
-nosybase <current sybase pathname>
-data <nms database pathname>
-f CISCO-WORKS SYBASE or -f CISCO-WORKS
The -db option specifies the size of nms database.
The -log option specifies the log size for nms database.
The -syb option specifies where to install Sybase. You can install Sybase in a directory different from the <destination>.
The -nosybase option specifies not to install Sybase. Installation of Sybase is optional, if you already have Sybase version 4.9.2. In this case the script asks for the pathname of an existing Sybase.
The -data option specifies the pathname where the nms database is to be installed. This allows you to store the database in a different directory than Sybase.
The -f option specifies the filesets that must be loaded. To install just CiscoWorks, specify CISCO-WORKS. To install both CiscoWorks and Sybase, specify CISCO-WORKS SYBASE. If you do not specify the -f and -nosybase options, ncsinstall loads both CiscoWorks and Sybase.
For detailed information on the ncsinstall command, refer to the CiscoWorks Administration and Installation Guide.

  1. After installation of the CiscoWorks files, enter the following commands to configure CiscoWorks: 
# /usr/nms/install/bin/ncsconfigure
Answer the system prompt questions. For detailed installation information, refer to the CiscoWorks Administration and Installation Guide.

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

        # umount /cdrom
Remove the CD-ROM from the caddy and store 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. Login to the remote machine and enter the following commands: 
#         cd /

# umount /cdrom
Remove the CD-ROM from the caddy and store in a safe place.
To complete the installation, refer to the CiscoWorks Administration and Installation Guide.
