CiscoView Standalone Installation

---

The normal method of installing CiscoView 5.4 is to respond yes when asked the question during the CWM server installation procedure. However, there can be circumstances in which CiscoView needs to be installed independently of CWM. For example, if CWM is up and running successfully but, for some reason, CiscoView becomes corrupted, or, if an updated version of CiscoView becomes available, the user may want to re-install CiscoView without disturbing the running CWM system.

For this reason, an alternative (standalone) method of installing CiscoView is provided,

This chapter describes how to:

•install CiscoView 5.4 using the standalone method

•uninstall CiscoView 5.4

---

Note CiscoView may requires certain Solaris patches to be installed. See the most current release notes for details. CiscoView also requires that the Sun java 1.3.1 plugin be installed. This plugin is now installed automatically when CWM is installed.

Standalone Installation of CiscoView

CiscoView 5.4 can be installed independently of CWM by using a Cisco provided script. This installation procedure and script are intended primarily for users who suspect that the installed CiscoView is corrupted or who installed CWM without CiscoView and want to install CiscoView later. The script installs a package of 18 programs. To execute the script, perform the following steps.

---

Caution Do not install CiscoView over a previously installed CiscoView, this will cause two versions of CiscoView to exist and the system will not operate properly. If CiscoView has already been installed, uninstall CiscoView and then use the standalone CiscoView installation procedure.

Step 1 Insert CD#1 into the CD drive.

Step 2 From root, enter the following commands:

# cd/cdrom/cdrom0/ 
# ./ciscoview/setupCv.sh -q <install directory>

in this release, the install directory is /opt/CSCOpx, thus:

# cd/cdrom/cdrom0/ 
# ./ciscoview/setupCv.sh -q /opt/CSCOpx

These commands cause the setupCv.sh script to start execution and install CiscoView in the CSCOpx directory.

If an error occurs during the installation process, details can be found by checking the log file at /var/tmp/ciscoinstall.log.

Uninstall CiscoView

Cisco View can be uninstalled using a Cisco provided uninstall script.

---

Caution The uninstall script MUST be used to remove the product. If you try to remove CiscoView or any of the packages manually, you can damage your system.

---

---

Step 1 As root, enter the following commands to start the uninstall script.

# cd / 
 
# /opt/CSCOpx/bin/uninstall.sh

/opt/CSCOpx is the default installation directory.

---

Note When you remove CiscoView, the uninstall script removes changes made to the /etc/services file. The /etc directory still contains all system file changes.

---

Uninstall messages are written to the /var/tmp/ciscouninstall.log file.

Step 2 At the prompt, enter q to quit.

When the uninstall script is complete, a message displays:

All files were deleted successfully.

Step 3 Check /etc/syslog.conf for syslog changes.

Step 4 Check /etc/services to ensure that port assignments for the CiscoView applications have been removed.
