This section describes the objectives, audience, organization, and conventions of the CiscoWorks Administration and Installation Guide on HP OpenView (HP-UX). It also lists related Cisco, Sybase, and HP OpenView publications.
This guide contains procedures for planning, installing, and configuring CiscoWorks on HP-UX, setting up CiscoWorks for your system, and preparing to use CiscoWorks.

This manual is designed for the network administrator responsible for installing, configuring, and verifying CiscoWorks software. The network administrator should be familiar with the following topics:
- Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
- A window manager that runs on HP-UX (for example, Motif)
- HP OpenView, version 3.3 or later
- Some basic UNIX commands
- A UNIX text editor, such as vi or vuepad.
The organization of this guide reflects the order in which the tasks should be performed. Worksheets are included as planning and information-gathering tools.
The major sections of this guide are listed below:
