CiscoWorks CD Installation Instructions

The following instructions describe installing the CiscoWorks CD-ROM from either a local or a remote machine. Included are procedures for installing CiscoWorks on SunOS, Solaris, and HP-UX (Versions 9.x and 10.x).

Note Perform all tasks as the superuser. If this is an upgrade from CiscoWorks 3.0, refer to "Installing from a Remote CD-ROM Drive on SunOS, HP-UX 9.x and HP-UX 10.x" in the CiscoWorks Installation and Reference Guide before proceeding.

Installing from a Local CD-ROM

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

Log in as the superuser by entering su and the root password.
Create a /cdrom directory, if one does not exist, by entering the following command:

# mkdir /cdrom

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

Place the CD-ROM in its caddy and insert it into the CD-ROM drive.
To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command:
On SunOS:

# /etc/mount -rt hsfs /dev/device_name /cdrom

On HP-UX:

# /etc/mount -rt cdfs /dev/device_name /cdrom

where -r mounts the CD-ROM in read-only mode, -t indicates the type of file system, and hsfs specifies a file system with an ISO 9660 standard or High Sierra standard with Rock Ridge extensions and a CDFS file system. device_name is the device that you mount, usually sr0 on SunOS, dsk/c201d5s0 on HP-UX 9.x, or dsk/c0t3d0 on HP-UX 10.x. If you do not use these options, media error messages may display on the console.
On Solaris:
The CD is automatically mounted onto the /cdrom directory. If you are running File Manager, a separate File Manager window displays the contents of the CD-ROM. If the /cdrom directory is empty because the CD was not mounted, or if File Manager did not open a window displaying the contents of the CD-ROM, check if the vold daemon is running by entering the following command:

# ps -e | grep vold | grep -v grep

If the system does not display anything, enter the following command:

# /usr/sbin/vold &

The vold daemon manages the CD-ROM device and performs the mounting.

Proceed to the appropriate section to perform your installation.

Installing from a Remote CD-ROM

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

Log in as the superuser by entering su and the root password.
Create a /cdrom directory, if one does not exist, by entering the following command:


# mkdir /cdrom

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

Place the CD-ROM in its caddy and insert it into the CD-ROM drive.
Use a text editor to create an /etc/exports file on SunOS and HP-UX or an /etc/dfs/dfstab file on Solaris, if one does not exist.
Add the following line to the /etc/exports file on SunOS and HP-UX:

        /cdrom -ro

Add the following line to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file on Solaris:

share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom

Ensure that your workstation is enabled as an NFS server.
On SunOS, check NFS server status with the following command. Both nfsd and rpc.mountd daemons must be running for a workstation to be an NFS server.

# ps -ax | grep nfsd | grep -v grep

If no nfsd daemons are running, start some with the following command:


# nfsd 8 &

Check rpc.mountd daemon status with the following command:
HP-UX
#


ps -ax | grep rpc.mountd | grep -v grep

For HP-UX 9.x only:
If no rpc.mountd daemon is running, start one with the following command:

# /usr/etc/rpc.mountd -n

On Solaris, check NFS server status with the following command:

# ps -ef | grep nfs | grep -v grep

If your machine is enabled as an NFS server, the following daemons should be running: /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd and /usr/lib/nfs/mountd.
If these daemons are not running, enable your machine as an NFS server with the following command:
HP-UX 9.x:

        # /etc/nfs.server start

HP-UX 10.x:

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command:
On SunOS:

# /etc/mount -rt hsfs /dev/device_name /cdrom

On HP-UX 9.x:

# /etc/mount -rt cdfs /dev/device_name /cdrom

On HP-UX 10.x:

# /etc/usr/sbin/mount -rt cdfs /dev/device_name /cdrom

# ps -e | grep vold | grep -v grep

If the system does not display anything, enter the following command:

# /usr/sbin/vold &

The vold daemon manages the CD-ROM device and performs the mounting.

Run exportfs -a with the following command on SunOS and HP-UX:

# exportfs -a

On Solaris and HP-UX 10.x, do not invoke the exportfs command. The nfs.server start command is already sharing the CD-ROM drive.

Go to the local machine.
Become the superuser by entering su and the root password.
Create a /cdrom directory, if one does not already exist, by entering the following command:

# mkdir /cdrom

To mount the CD-ROM, enter the following command:
On SunOS and HP-UX 9.x:

# /etc/mount remote_machinename:/cdrom /cdrom

On Solaris and HP-UX 10.x:

# /usr/sbin/mount remote_machinename:/cdrom /cdrom

a. On SunOS and HP-UX 9.x, if you are installing CiscoWorks for the first time, create a directory for the CiscoWorks files with the following command:

# mkdir /usr/nms

If you already have a version of CiscoWorks installed in the directory /usr/nms on your system, and you want to save it, enter the following commands:

# mv /usr/nms /usr/nms.save

        # mkdir /usr/nms

The installation process overwrites the contents of the existing /usr/nms directory.
b. On Solaris, it is not necessary to create the directory for the CiscoWorks files. By default, CiscoWorks is installed in the following directories:
/opt/CSCOcws Sun NetManager version
/opt/CSCOcwh HP OpenView version
/opt/CSCOsyb All Sybase modules
c. HP-UX 10.x, it is not necessary to create the directory for the CiscoWorks files. By default, CiscoWorks is installed in the following directories:
/opt/CSCOcwh HP OpenView version
/opt/CSCOsyb All Sybase modules

Proceed to "Installing on SunOS," "Installing on Solaris," "Installing on HP-UX 9.x 9.x," or "Installing on HP-UX 10.x."

Installing on SunOS

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

Extract the files from the CD-ROM by entering the following commands:

# cd /cdrom/CISCOWORKS/SunOS4.1.3

        # ./extract_unbundled

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

Answer the system prompt questions.
Reboot your system, if you were prompted whether you wanted automatic kernel modification and you answered Yes. Rebooting ensures that the new kernel is used when you by enter the following command:

# reboot

If you were prompted whether you wanted automatic kernel modification and you answered No, you must manually update the kernel before rebooting by performing the steps in the "Sybase Modifications to the Kernel Configuration File" section in your CiscoWorks Installation and Reference Guide on SunOS, Solaris, and HP-UX.

Installing on HP-UX 9.x

To install the CiscoWorks files on an HP-UX 9.x platform, perform the following steps:

Create the directory in which you will install CiscoWorks files:

# mkdir /usr/nms

Ensure you have enough disk space to load CiscoWorks.

Copy the installation and configuration scripts to the new CiscoWorks directory by entering the following command:

# /etc/update -s /cdrom/HPUX_9/cw.tar -d /usr/nms CWIC

where -s specifies where the CiscoWorks software is located on the CD-ROM, and -d indicates the destination where the scripts are stored. For example, if you enter the path name /usr/nms, the scripts are stored in /usr/nms.

Enter the cwinstall command to install the CiscoWorks software:

# cd         /usr/nms/install/bin

./cwinstall -s /cdrom/HPUX_9/cw.tar -d /usr/nms

If you do not enter any options, cwinstall prompts you for them.
