Installing CTM GateWay/CORBA R6.0


The CTM GateWay/CORBA R6.0 option is a CORBA-based interface that provides higher-layer management systems with information for all CTM-supported NEs.


Note The license for CTM GateWay/CORBA R6.0 is sold separately. If you are using this feature in a production environment, you must purchase a license.


You can install CTM GateWay/CORBA when you install the CTM server, or you can install CTM GateWay/CORBA separately. This chapter describes how to install CTM GateWay/CORBA as a separate option after installing the CTM R6.0 server.


Tip For more information about CORBA support, including how to configure CTM GateWay/CORBA, refer to Cisco Transport Manager GateWay/CORBA Release 6.0 User Guide and Programmer Manual.

Re-enabling CTM GateWay/CORBA After Reinstalling the CTM Database

4.1  Installing CTM GateWay/CORBA R6.0


Note You must install CTM GateWay/CORBA on the same workstation as the CTM server. During the CTM GateWay/CORBA installation, you do not need to shut down the CTM server.



Note The CTM database must be up and running before installing CTM GateWay/CORBA.


Log into the CTM server workstation as the root user and complete the following steps in C shell:


Step 1 If you are using an xterm window or a remote host, enter the following command to enable the xterm connection from the clients:

/usr/openwin/bin/xhost +

Step 2 After the xterm connection is established, enter the following command to set the DISPLAY variable:

setenv DISPLAY <hostname_or_IP_address>:0.0

Step 3 Enter the following command to verify that the display is set correctly:

echo $DISPLAY

In the output, you should see:

<hostname_or_IP_address>:0.0

Step 4 Insert the CTM Server Disk 1 installation CD and enter the following commands:

cd /
cdrom/cdrom0/Disk1/ctmsetup.sh

The setup program searches for Sun Microsystems JRE version 1.4.2_05 on your workstation.


Note If JRE is not installed, the setup program starts the Java installation program. Follow the prompts to install JRE. Enter yes at the following binary license code agreement prompt:
Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no]

Then, continue installing CTM GateWay/CORBA.



Note If the required Solaris patches are missing, you must install them manually. Click Cancel; then, click Quit. Download the patches from SunSolve Online at http://sunsolve.sun.com. After you install the patches, continue installing CTM GateWay/CORBA.


The installation begins. Wait for up to 60 seconds while the following message appears:

Ctmsetup.sh is installing CTM server...

Step 5 Click Next at the Introduction screen.

Step 6 At the License Agreement screen, read the license agreement and click the I accept the terms of the license agreement radio button. Click Next.

Step 7 At the Select Products screen, check the Install Cisco Transport Manager CORBA GateWay check box; then, click Next.

Step 8 At the Server IP Address screen, specify an IP address for the server setup; then, click Next.

Step 9 The Pre-Installation Summary screen shows the items that will be installed. Click Install.

Step 10 The Install Complete screen summarizes the results of the installation. Click Done.

Step 11 Enter the following commands to eject the CTM Server Disk 1 installation CD:

cd /
eject cdrom


4.2  Re-enabling CTM GateWay/CORBA After Reinstalling the CTM Database

If you reinstall the CTM database on the workstation where CTM GateWay/CORBA is installed, the CTM GateWay/CORBA node will be disabled in the Control Panel window.

To re-enable the CTM GateWay/CORBA node in the Control Panel, run the update_config_for_gwcorba.sh script located in the /opt/CiscoTransportManagerServer/bin directory.
