Validating CiscoWorks Installation
To validate the CiscoWorks installation and configuration, you must edit the .cshrc file on your system. Follow the procedures in this chapter to complete the validation of your CiscoWorks installation.
This section briefly summarizes the steps you should follow to complete the CiscoWorks installation and configuration and to validate the installation. These steps are explained in detail following:
Defining Environment Variables and Search Paths
To use NetView for AIX, CiscoWorks, and Sybase, you must define the appropriate environment variables and paths in your .cshrc file.
Environment variables define how your particular system is set up, such as directory paths that specify the location of files (either manual pages or software). The environment variables and paths are explained in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1 : Environment Variables and Directory Paths
| Environment Variable or Path |
Explanation |
|---|---|
| NMSROOT | Refers to the directory /usr/nms where the CiscoWorks software was installed. |
| SYBASE | Refers to the directory path where Sybase is located. The default is $NMSROOT/sybase. The SYBASE variable refers to the NMSROOT variable and the Sybase directory following it. |
| PATH | Refers to the directory path for /usr/OV/bin, $NMSROOT/bin, $NMSROOT/etc, and $SYBASE/bin. The path should be specified for NetView for AIX, CiscoWorks, and Sybase. |
| MANPATH | Refers to the directory path for finding manual pages. It should include $NMSROOT/man. |
| DISPLAY | Refers to the X11 display with which CiscoWorks operates. The default is :0 or hostname:0. |
The addition of environment variables and path names to your .cshrc file will be applicable only to your login account. If you have other system administrators or network managers who need access to CiscoWorks, edit their .cshrc files and add the information specified in the following procedure.
The following steps describe how to add the appropriate environment variables and path names to the .cshrc file or the .login file.
Verifying Changes to the .cshrc File
After you edit the .cshrc file, verify that the changes you made are active. Enter the following command at the UNIX prompt to display the edited .cshrc file:
Note that the environment variables for NMSROOT and SYBASE are displayed. In addition, the paths are defined for CiscoWorks and Sybase executables and the CiscoWorks manual pages, as well as other system variables.
Displaying CiscoWorks Applications
To verify the CiscoWorks installation and configuration, access NetView for AIX and display the CiscoWorks applications. CiscoWorks applications are integrated into the network management menu structure of NetView for AIX.
Perform the following steps to view CiscoWorks applications:
Table 4-2 : CiscoWorks Applications Under NetView for AIX
If no CiscoWorks applications are visible under the NetView for AIX menus, the installation might have been unsuccessful; if this happens, look for the CiscoWorks file in the /usr/OV/registration/C directory. If the file is not there, contact a customer service representative.
With NetView for AIX, an Internet Protocol (IP) map is created automatically to show you the devices that are connected directly to your NetView for AIX workstation. The IP map communicates directly with the topology database.
To verify that the appropriate CiscoWorks processes are running, you must access the Process Manager window. Use the CiscoWorks Process Manager application to select different types of CiscoWorks processes or daemons. A daemon is a process that performs a specific function for the system. Each CiscoWorks process performs specific functions.
The Process Manager monitors the following six CiscoWorks daemon processes: Log daemon, Polling daemon, Event Logger daemon, Syslog daemon, TACACS Authentication Server, and Sybase Server daemon. Figure 4-1 shows the Process Manager window on the RISC System/6000 platform.
Figure 4-1 : Process Manager Window By default, the first three CiscoWorks processes in the Process Manager window are running whenever you reboot your system. These processes can run continuously, even if NetView for AIX is not running on your system.
To start the Process Manager application, perform the following steps:
After validating the CiscoWorks installation as described in this chapter, proceed to the CiscoWorks User Guide to learn how to perform network management with CiscoWorks.
