Supplemental License Agreement

SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR CISCO SYSTEMS NETWORK MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE: Cisco Network Connectivity Center products

IMPORTANT-READ CAREFULLY: This Supplemental License Agreement ("SLA") contains additional limitations on the license to the Software provided to Customer under the Software License Agreement between Customer and Cisco. Capitalized terms used in this SLA and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Software License Agreement. To the extent that there is a conflict among any of these terms and conditions applicable to the Software, the terms and conditions in this SLA shall take precedence.

By installing, downloading, accessing or otherwise using the Software, Customer agrees to be bound by the terms of this SLA. If Customer does not agree to the terms of this SLA, Customer may not install, download or otherwise use the Software. When used below, the term "server" refers to central processor unit.

1. ADDITIONAL LICENSE RESTRICTIONS.

Device Restricted Version. Customers whose requirements exceed the minimum user license must purchase additional right to use licenses per product.

Installation and Use. The Software and all of its related components are provided to Customer solely to install, update, supplement, or replace existing functionality of the applicable Network Management Software product.

A data center/NOC (network operating center) is classified as a central location for network management and can include a server farm environment. Licenses for software are issued per unique site. Should a data center/NOC span 2 floors, separate rooms, separate buildings, separate geographical locations, the licensing would require that a license be purchased for each.

A failover server is a secondary system utilized as a back-up to a primary (sometimes called master) production system. The only time it would be utilized as the production server is if the primary server had a catastrophic failure. The back-up server could be located in the same site or in a different site.

The purpose of the test lab server is to reside in a non-production environment for use in testing systems and software prior to it being put into a production environment. The intention is for this server to never be used in a production environment.

Installation Notes

When installing CNCC or NCM products, keep the following in mind:

You must upgrade NCM 1.0 before you can install and use CNCC products. Contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

You do not need to install CNCC products in any particular order. Installation instructions can be found in the appropriate product documentation (see Table 2).

CNCC and NCM products cannot be installed on a system that has any CiscoWorks products installed.

NCM 1.1 cannot be installed on a system where NCM 1.0 is installed.

Installing Network Connectivity Monitor 1.1

This section summarizes the steps required to install NCM 1.1 on a Solaris or Windows machine either as a standalone product or integrated with LMS and ITEM.

For information about other NCM deployment configurations, and for more detailed installation instructions, please see the following documents:

Network Connectivity Monitor IP Availability Management Suite Installation Guide

Network Connectivity Monitor Service Assurance Management Suite Installation Guide

Integration Guide for Network Connectivity Monitor


Note NCM is a component of CNCC. Certain CNCC products, such as Business Dashboard, are included as installation options on the NCM product CD-ROMs, but these products are not part of the NCM product and should not be installed from the NCM product CD-ROMs. If you install non-NCM components, they will not run under an NCM license; however, they should not affect normal NCM operation.


Before You Begin

Before you begin installing NCM 1.1, do the following:

Make sure that you have NCM Disk 1 (NCM Service Assurance Manager) and NCM Disk 2 (NCM Availability Manager); both product CD-ROMs are required for a successful NCM 1.1 installation.

Make sure you meet the minimum hardware and software requirements for NCM installations. See the Network Connectivity Monitor IP Availability Management Suite Installation Guide and the Network Connectivity Monitor Service Assurance Management Suite Installation Guide for more information.

If you are installing NCM 1.1 on the same machine and in the same directory as a previous NCM installation, you must back up the C:/InCharge6 or /opt/InCharge6 directory, which contains any custom configuration files in its local subdirectory.

If you are upgrading from NCM 1.0 to NCM 1.1, additional steps are required which are not covered in this section. Instead, see the "Migrating From IP Applications 4.1, 4.1.1, or 4.1.2" section in the Network Connectivity Monitor IP Availability Management Suite Installation Guide and the "Migrating from SAM 5.0 or 5.0.1" section in the Network Connectivity Monitor Service Assurance Management Suite Installation Guide. You should also contact Cisco TAC for assistance if you are migrating from a previous NCM installation.

Installing Service Assurance Manager

Follow these steps to install Service Assurance Manager (NCM Disk 1) on Solaris and Windows systems.

Step 1 Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

Step 2 Start the installation program.

On Solaris, enter the command:

<cdrom>/suite/setup-solaris.sh

On Windows, the Windows installer should start automatically after the CD-ROM is inserted. If the Windows installer does not start, enter the command:

<cdrom>/suite/setup-winnt.exe

where <cdrom> is the name of the CD-ROM (for example, D:\).

Step 3 The WARNING: Shut down programs dialog box appears. Make sure that all Windows processes or Solaris daemons associated with an existing NCM installation are stopped. Click the OK button.

Step 4 The Welcome screen appears.


Note The Next button in the Welcome screen is enabled only if all system requirements are met. If it is disabled, click the Get System Information button for information on which system requirements are not met.


To proceed with the installation, click Next.

Step 5 A screen containing the NCM 1.1 supplemental end-user license agreement appears. Read the license agreement carefully, then accept the license agreement by selecting the appropriate radio button. Click Next.

Step 6 One of the following occurs:

If there is an existing NCM installation on the machine, go to Step 7.

If there is not an existing NCM installation on the machine, go to Step 8.

CNCC NCM SAM Adapter Platform Server

CNCC NCM Servlet Engine

CNCC NCM Syslog Adapter

CNCC NCM SNMP Trap Adapter

Click Next.

Step 13 A screen appears, asking you to specify the location of the NCM Broker. Because the NCM Broker is installed as a service or daemon on your machine, the host name field is grayed out and contains the value localhost. The default port value is 426; although you can change the port value, you should not do so unless the port is being used by another application.

Click Next.

Step 14 A screen appears, displaying the products, and their total size, to be installed. Click Next.

Step 15 The Service Assurance Manager installation starts. When the installation process is complete, a screen appears that displays the installation results, including any errors that occurred. Click Finish to complete the installation and exit the installation wizard.

Step 6 One of the following occurs:

If there is an existing NCM installation on the machine, go to Step 7.

If there is not an existing NCM installation on the machine, go to Step 8.

Step 7 A screen appears, asking if you want to upgrade an existing NCM installation or install NCM in a new directory. You must select the Install products to a new directory option even if there is an existing NCM installation. Click Next.

Step 8 A screen appears, asking you to choose the directory where NCM is installed. The default installation directory is C:\InCharge6 on Windows and /opt/InCharge6 on Solaris. You can change this directory, though we recommend keeping the default values. The directory where Availability Manager is installed should be the same directory where Service Assurance Manager is installed. Click Next.

Step 9 A screen appears, asking you to select a Complete or Custom installation. Select the Custom radio button to install all NCM Availability Manager components.


Caution Never select the Complete radio button; doing so causes CNCC products, which do not operate under the NCM license, to be installed on your machine.

Click Next.

Step 10 A screen appears, asking you to select which Availability Manager products you want to install. Select only CNCC NCM Availability Manager. If you plan to integrate NCM with CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) or CiscoWorks IP Telephony Environment Monitor (ITEM), you must also select CNCC NCM Adapter for CiscoWorks LMS or ITEM.

Click Next.

Step 11 A screen appears, asking you to select which applications should automatically start when your machine reboots. Select all NCM services or daemons to start automatically when your machine reboots. You must select the CNCC NCM Availability Manager service. Also:

If you plan to integrate NCM with LMS, select the CNCC NCM DFM Topology Sychronization Adapter.

If you plan to integrate NCM with ITEM, select the CNCC NCM DFM Topology Sychronization Adapter and the CNCC NCM VHM Topology Sychronization Adapter.

If you are installing Service Assurance Manager and Availability Manager on different machines, select CNCC NCM Broker. Do not select the Broker if you are installing Service Assurance Manager and Availability Manager on the same machine.

Click Next.

Step 12 A screen appears, asking you to select the location of the NCM Broker. Click Next.

Step 13 A screen appears, displaying the products, and their total size, to be installed. Click Next.

Step 14 The Availability Manager installation process starts. When the installation is completed, a screen appears, displaying the installation results, including any errors that occurred. Click Finish to complete the installation.


If you plan to integrate NCM with LMS or ITEM, see the Integration Guide for Network Connectivity Monitor for more information.

If you do not plan to integrate NCM with LMS or ITEM, after you install Availability Manager, do the following:


Step 1 Using the sm_edit utility, uncomment the NCM-OI section in the conf/ics/ics.conf file.

Step 2 Using sm_edit utility, uncomment all FORWARD statements in the conf/icoi/trapd.conf file except the last FORWARD statement.

Step 3 Copy the NCM 1.1 license to the InCharge6/IP/smarts/local/conf and /InCharge6/SAM/smarts/local/conf directories.

Step 4 Restart the NCM 1.1 machine. All NCM services or daemons should start automatically. You are now ready to start using NCM. To start NCM, you must start the Global Console. Do one of the following:

To start NCM, you must start the NCM Global Console. Do one of the following:

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support Website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support Website

The Cisco Technical Support Website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support Website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool automatically provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553 2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/contacts

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
