Install the Cisco VAMS 1.5 Software

To install the Cisco VAMS 1.5:

Step 1 Log in to the server as the root user.

Step 2 Insert the Cisco VAMS 1.5 installation DVD into the DVD drive on your system.

Step 3 Check the system prerequisites such as required disk space. See Chapter 1, "Overview."

Step 4 If an older version of the Cisco VAMS exists, uninstall it. See Chapter 4, "Uninstalling the Cisco Video Assurance Management Solution 1.5."

Step 5 Change the directory to the root directory on the DVD.

For example: 

cd /cdrom/cdrom0/

Step 6 Start the installation script.

For example: 

./install.sh -o

The installation script prompts you to enter site-specific values for the installation.

Step 7 When prompted to enter login information for the Cisco ANA, you must enter an administrative-level user ID and password. If necessary, obtain this information from your administrator.

Step 8 If your login information does not authenticate, retry by entering r, or bypass the Cisco ANA authentication by entering y. 

The specified login and password do not authenticate.

Do you wish to continue with the installation? [Y(es)/N(o)/R(etry)]:
Caution If you enter y to bypass authentication, you must run the setCimsCredentials.sh script later. That script is in the iptv/scripts/ directory. The Cisco VAMS 1.5 will not operate correctly if you do not run the setCimsCredentials.sh script after a failed authentication.

Step 9 After successful installation, continue to Chapter 5, "Configuring the Components of the Cisco Video Assurance Management Solution 1.5."
