CWM SNMP Service Agent
|
The SNMP Service Agent software is an optional package that is not required. It is used for provisioning and fault management of PNNI SPVCs supported by both Cisco BPX SES and Cisco MGX 8000 Series PXM1/PXM1E/PXM45 networks. It is not required for a Standalone Statistics Collection Manager workstation.
|
HP OpenView 6.2, 6.3, or 7.0
|
This package is not essential to operating the CWM. It is used with the SNMP Service Agent and for viewing the Event Log. It is not required for any other CWM procedures or for a Statistics Collection Manager Standalone workstation.
|
Consider also the following:
•UltraSPARC II, UltraSPARC III, and UltraSPARCIIIi workstations—The CWM is compatible with them. For system requirements, see Tables 2-4 through 2-7.
•Ultra 60 and Enterprise 450 and 4500—They were certified with earlier CWM releases and can still be used with this release. For the system requirements, see the CWM 11.0.10 release notes. Note that Cisco does not provide technical support for Sun configurations or products that Sun Microsystems no longer supports.
•Graphics card—A graphics card is required when using the Java Client to access to the CWM.
•Video—Video on the CWM server is required only for user access or maintenance. It can be added to Sun servers or workstations. For Ultra and Enterprise, a video adapter is required.
•Firewalls—If you are using a firewall between the server and the clients, you must open a range of ports for the CWM servers. For additional information about using firewalls, see the "Using Firewalls" section in the CWM installation guide. You can access all CWM documentation at this website:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/netmgtsw/ps2340/tsd_products_support_series_home.html
CWM Server Requirements
Table 2-4 lists the system requirements for the CWM server. Note also the following about the CWM servers:
•Other UltraSPARC III server models with equal or higher CPU speed and memory capacity can also be used.
•If UltraSPARC II servers are used, see the CWM 11.0.10 release notes for system requirements.
•If you are using an Ultra 60 (low-end platform), it should have at least 2 GB of RAM.
To display the workstation type, amount of memory, and CPU speed, use the uname -X and top commands.
To determine information about the disk drives on your workstation, use the format command. Choose a disk from the list of those available and enter the verify command to determine the current partitioning of each disk.

Installing Solaris 9
This section describes how to install Solaris 9, which is required for CWM 15.3.00. You must install it if you have been using Solaris 8 on CWM 15.0 or CWM 15.1.50.
If you have been using CWM servers and clients that are running under Solaris 8, you cannot merely upgrade from Solaris 8 to 9 because the CWM for Solaris 8 and CWM for Solaris 9 are two completely different releases. To upgrade Solaris 8 to Solaris 9, see Upgrading from Solaris 8 to Solaris 9.
If Solaris 9 is already installed, check the disk partitions and repartition if necessary. See "Partitioning Disks" section.
See these subsections on installing Solaris:
•Installation Methods
•Preparing to Install Solaris 9
•Installing Solaris 9
•Partitioning Disks
•Completing the Installation
•Installing Solaris Patches
•Post Solaris-Installation Tasks
Installation Methods
This section describes the possible methods for installing Solaris . These methods include the following:
•The Interactive Installation Program on the Solaris 9 CD-ROMs
•Using JumpStart and the Solaris 9 CD-ROMs
•Over a network
•Over the Internet by using Webstart
The procedure described in this installation guide is the one most likely to be used, and it is the one that Cisco recommends that you use. It is an initial installation and uses the following:
•Solaris software on the two CD-ROMs in the SPARC Platform Edition CD
•Interactive Installation Program
If you want to use another method, refer to the Sun Microsystems installation guide for Solaris 9 installation instructions. You can locate this guide on the Sun website at http://www.sun.com/.
Caution This Solaris installation procedure destroys any existing files on the workstation disks. If you have existing CWM databases, configuration files, or other application files that must be preserved, stop now to back them up.
To preserve data files on the disk, first save the files either to an NFS-mounted directory, to an external media (such as a tape), or use the FTP facility to transfer them to another machine. After the installation has been completed, the files can be restored.
For detailed information on saving and restoring CWM files, see "Upgrading the CWM from an Earlier Version."
Preparing to Install Solaris 9
If Solaris is not already installed, use one of the following steps in the procedure to arrive at ok prompt where you can begin installing:
•Use the first step for a workstation with a local display and keyboard.
•Use the second step for a headless-type workstation without a display and keyboard (typicall rack-mounted).
Step 1 If the workstation supports a local display and keyboard, such as an Ultra 60, follow these steps to set up for the Solaris installation:
a. Log in to the system as the root user.
b. Insert the CD-ROM labeled Solaris 9 Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition into the CD-ROM drive.
c. Enter the sync command to line up all the cylinders and the halt command to halt the system. As user root, enter these commands:
The system displays the ok prompt.
d. If Step 1c. fails, press the stop and a keys simultaneously. The ok prompt is then displayed.
Step 2 If the workstation is of the headless type, such as a Netra 20, and does not support a local display and keyboard, follow these steps to set up the workstation to install Solaris:
a. Connect an alphanumeric terminal (or a PC capable of emulating an alphanumeric terminal) to the primary asynchronous serial interface on the workstation. (In the case of a Netra 20, this would be the serial interface.) This attached terminal can now be used as a console device.
Alternatively, a second Sun workstation can be used as a console using a Telnet connection to a terminal adapter, ssuch as a Cisco 2500, which in turn is connected to the asynchronous interface of the intended CWM workstation.
b. Reboot the intended CWM workstation by powering off and on again.
c. Use the console to send a break signal while the boot firmware is still in control of the workstation and before any existing Solaris is launched. Systems such as the Netra 20 do not recognize the stop a keystroke combination.
This displays the ok prompt.
Installing Solaris 9
Use this procedure to install Solaris. The Solaris 9 Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition CD-ROM must be in the CD drive, and you must be at the ok prompt.
Note the following tips about performing this installation:
•During the installation, you are not allowed to use a mouse (even if there is one).
•When the question on the screen requires you to choose from several options, use the up, down, left, and right arrow keys to position the cursor over the desired option. Then select the option with the Enter key.
•If you are installing from a terminal device, the keyboard function keys may not be recognized. In this case, use ESC keys instead. The ESC key sequences and their uses are displayed along the bottom of the screen.
Step 1 Boot the system from the CD-ROM using this command:
The Set Language and Locale dialog box appears.

Step 9 Enter the IP address of the CWM workstation and press F2. The Subnet screen appears.
Step 10 Enter Yes and press F2. The Subnet mask screen appears.
Step 11 Enter the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0, and press F2. The Enable IPv6 screen appears.
Step 12 Select No and press F2. The Set Default Router screen appears.
Step 13 Select the default router: Detect one on next boot, Specify one, and None. Press F2. The Default Router IP screen appears.
Step 14 If Specify was selected in the previous step, enter the router IP address and then press F2. The Confirm Information dialog box appears, displaying the choices you made in the previous steps.
Step 15 If you are satisfied with the information, press F2 and click Continue. The Configure Security Policy dialog box appears.
Step 16 Choose No and press F2. The Confirm Information dialog box appears.
Step 17 If you are satisfied with the displayed information, press F2 and then click Continue. The Name Service dialog box appears.
Step 18 Select None and press F2. The Confirm Information dialog box appears.
Step 19 If you are satisfied with the information displayed, press F2 and then click Continue. The Time Zone dialog box appears.
Step 20 Read the information displayed. Choose Geographic Region and click Set. The Geographic Region dialog box appears. You can also select the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) offset and specify the time zone as the number of hours offset from GMT.
Step 21 If Geographic Region was selected in the previous step, choose the appropriate Geographic Region and Time Zone. Press F2. If GMT offset was selected, set the slider on the screen to the appropriate offset and press F2. The Date and Time dialog box appears.
Step 22 At the Date and Time prompt, enter the current date and time and then press F2. Another Confirmation dialog box appears, displaying your choices.

You are ready to partition the hard drives.
Partitioning Disks
This section describes how to partition your disk space for best performance. It also provides three examples of provisioning disks: two 9-GB disks, an 18-GB disk, and a 36-GB disk.
See these sections:
•Partitioning Your Disk Space
•Partitioning Two 9-GB Disks
•Partitioning an 18-GB Disk
•Partitioning a 36-GB Disk
Partitioning Your Disk Space
The minimum disk space requirement for CWM 15.3.00 is as follows:
•One 18-GB drive
•Two-9-GB disk drives
If the machine has multiple physical disks, specify the partitions for all disks and partitions at this stage of installing Solaris.
Step 1 Select a disk and specify a name and size for each partition to be used. Repeat the process for each disk.
Step 2 Allocate the required partitions with their minimum sizes in the following sequence:
a. A partition (slice) for CWM software and files. This partition is named "/usr/users" and should be allocated with at least 4000 MB.
b. Raw partition for Informix with 1995 MB.
c. A 4096-MB swap space partition, which allows for twice the RAM of 2048 MB. This partition is named "swap." If two 9-GB drives are used, the swap space can be allocated in two partitions of 2048 MB—one on each drive.
d. A partition for "root," which is normally allocated to partition 0 on the boot drive. This partition has the name "/" and should be allocated with at least 1500 MB.
e. A partition for HP OpenView, which is named "/opt" and should be allocated 2000 MB.
This step allocates a total of 13591 MB.
Step 3 Subtract 13591 MB from the total disk space to obtain the remaining unused disk space. For example, if the system has one 18-GB drive with a usable space of 17692 MB, then 17692 minus 13591 equals 4101 MB of unused space.
Step 4 Use the unused space on the disk or disks to increase the already allocated partitions. Top priorities for extra space are adding one or more 1995 MB partitions for Informix and increasing the space for /usr/users.
Step 5 Any further unused space can be used for new partitions such as /var and /spare.
In certain circumstances, HP OpenView can use /var. It should be allocated with at least 1000 MB, but at least 2000 MB is recommended if you have enough disk space.
In the example above, you may want to add a second 1995-MB raw partition for Informix, increase /usr/users from 4000 to 4500 MB, and add a /var partition of 1606 MB.
Partitioning Two 9-GB Disks
This section describes how to partition a CWM that has two 9-GB disk drives. When you come to the Solaris disk partition screens, make sure that both disks are in selected disk pane before you start partitioning.
Partition the first disk drive as shown in Table 2-8. The total space should be the number shown in s2.

Completing the Installation
Use this procedure to complete the installation.
Step 1 After you have completed partitioning your disk or disks, the Solaris installation process prompts you to set up the file system. The File System and Disk Layout dialog box appears.
Step 2 If you are satisified with the information displayed, press F2. The Mount Remote File Systems? dialog box appears.
Step 3 Confirm that it is correct and press F2 to accept the default. Do not select Remote Mounts. The Profile screen appears.
Step 4 Choose Begin Installation. The Solaris installation process shows this reboot option after installing the files:
Step 5 Choose AutoReboot. This part of the process (downloading the files) displays a progress and may take up to 1 hour. No input is required. The system reboots and the Root Password window appears.
Step 6 Enter the password to be used for root and press Enter.
Step 7 Re-enter the root password and press Enter. The Solaris installation process prompts you to setup automatic power saving shutdown.
Step 8 Choose No. The installation process then asks if you should be asked again about autoshutdown on reboot.
Step 9 Choose No. The Specify Media window appears.
Step 10 Choose CD and then click Next.
Step 11 Follow the instructions to remove the Solaris Software 1 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition CD. Insert Solaris Software 2 of 2 SPARC Platform Edition CD.
Step 12 When the second CD is inserted, click OK. The files on the second CD are installed, which takes about 5 minutes. When the installation is complete, the Installation Summary window appears.
Step 13 Click Next. The Specify Media window appears.
Step 14 Click Skip. The Reboot window appears.
Step 15 Select Reboot Now.
The installation process is complete and the system reboots.
Installing Solaris Patches
This section shows the Solaris patches that you must install on the CWM and the patches that Cisco recommends that you install. For service packs in between major releases, refer to the "Required and Recommended Patches" table in the current CWM release notes for the patches that you need.
Install these patches after you install the Solaris operating system.
Before You Begin Installing Patches
For best results, follow these Sun recommendations before you begin installing patches:
•After installing the Solaris 9 operating system, you must install the Solaris 9 Kernel Patch 12 or later. After you have installed the patch, you will install the additional patches (see Table 2-12) if they were not already installed as part of the cluster.
•Use the single-user mode to install most patches.
•Shut down CWM processes before installing the patches.
•Avoid installing the following patches that can cause problems with Informix during startup:
–SPARC Platform—Patches 112963-21 through 112963-24
–x86 Platform—Patches 113986-17 through 113986-20
•Not all Solaris patches or patch clusters require a reboot. If a reboot is not required, you can start the CWM after the patch is installed.

Installing the Patches
Use this procedure and sequence to install the Solaris patches, which assumes that the Solaris operating system is already installed.
Step 1 Verify the installed patches. To do this, use the Solaris showrev -p command.
Step 2 Go to the SunSolve Patch Access website to access the patches:
http://sunsolve.Sun.COM/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access
(If you have a SunSpectrum contract, you can also access patches from SunService.)
Step 3 Install the Kernel Patch 12 for Solaris 9. In the CWM release notes, see the "Required and Recommended Patches" table for the correct version number.
Step 4 Install the rest of the required patches if they were not already installed as part of the cluster. Depending on your situation, you may want to enter only the first 6 digits of the patch number in the Find Patch field on the Sun Patch Access site and not the version extension to obtain the latest patch version.
Step 5 Install the recommended patches, as needed and desired. (Several of these recommended patches may require a service contract with Sun.)
Post Solaris-Installation Tasks
When Solaris has been installed, the following tasks should be performed to ensure that the system will operate correctly over a network.
Step 1 Login as root.
Step 2 Use an editor to open the /etc/default/login file. Comment out the line that says "console = /dev/console." This action permits a login from other workstations.
Step 3 Set up the machine IP address and netmask with this command:
# ifconfig hme0 <IP Addr> netmask <network mask> broadcast <broadcast address> up
When the machine uses a domain name naming service, follow these additional steps.
Step 4 Ensure the following:
•The machine domain name is entered into the /etc/domainname and /etc/defaultdomainname files
•The /etc/nsswitch.conf contains the entry: "host: files dns nis"
•The /etc/resolv.conf contains the machine domain name and the nis servers, such as the following:
–search company.com
–nameserver 192.168.1.2
–nameserver 192.168.1.3
Step 5 Specify a default router using this command:
# route add net 0.0.0.0 <IP address of the default router>
Step 6 Bind the NIS servers as follows:
a. Enter the command:
For example, if there are two NIS servers, this would be the command:
#ypint -c
next host to add <NIS server 1>
next host to add <NIS server 2>
next host to add <enter>
b. Enter y to verify that the displayed list of NIS servers is OK.
c. Enter the command:
# /usr/lib/n etsvc/ypstart
You can use the vypwhich command to verify the NIS servers.
Step 7 Reboot the system.
Installing HP OpenView
The CWM works with HP OpenView 6.3 or 7.0, which is used only for viewing the event log and is not required for other CWM procedures. It is not bundled with the CWM CDs.
You must order it directly from Hewlett-Packard and follow the H-P installation requirements and procedures. See the following website and refer to HP OpenView Network Node Manager Products, Installation Guide, Part No. J1136-90000:
http://openview.hp.com/products/nnm/
See these sections:
•Installing the HP OpenView Software
•Checking the /etc/services File
•Starting HP OpenView
Installing the HP OpenView Software
Use this procedure to install the HP OpenView software.
Step 1 Insert the HP Openview CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Step 2 Enter the following commands:
Step 3 Check for the install file.
Step 4 Begin the install process by entering the following command:
Step 5 Reply to these questions:
Install man pages? y
Install on line manuals n
Discover network? y
snmp string default gateway? s
display interface? n
Web browser? s
continue? y
The installation is now complete.
If you have not installed HP OpenView yet, you can install it after you install the CWM. Run the SV+_HPOV.install script that is located in /usr/users/svplus/install.
Checking the /etc/services File
Use this procedure to check the /etc/services file to see if an entry exists for snmp 8161/udp.
To save your changes while using the vi Editor, press Esc, colon (:), then wq!.
Step 1 Enter this command:
Step 2 If an entry exists for snmp 8161/udp, change it to the following value so it conforms to the OpenView port number:
If you changed the /etc/services file, reboot the CWM for the changes to take effect:
Starting HP OpenView
Use this procedure to start HP OpenView.
Step 1 Open a terminal window as user svplus.
Step 2 Enter the following command:
Step 3 When Alarm Manager appears, look for the "CWM Alarms" option.
Step 4 Select the CWM Alarms option to display CWM events.
Installing Netscape
Use this procedure to install Netscape Communicator. The Solaris version of it is used to run online help on the CWM server and Standalone Statistics workstations.
The Sun Microsystems Netscape Communicator for the Solaris package (version 4.76 or later) is included on the Cisco-provided CWM Documentation CD-ROM under the file name of NSCPcom.476.sparc.tar.
Step 1 Log in to the CWM as user root.
Step 2 Insert the CWM Documentation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Step 3 Enter this command to change to the 1500tools directory on the CD-ROM and verify that the NSCPcom.476.sparc.tar file is present. The command lists the files in the directory:
# cd /cdrom/cdrom0/1500tools
Step 4 Copy the Netscape file to the workstation hard drive:
cp /cdrom/cdrom0/1500tools/NSCPcom.476.sparc.tar /tmp
Step 5 Copy the gzip utility to the workstation hard drive:
cp /cdrom/cdrom0/1500tools/gzip /tmp
If the CWM CD-ROMs are not available at the site of the client machine, the CD-ROM should be inserted in the CWM server machine. Use the FTP facility to transfer the NSCPcom.476.sparc.tar and the gzip files to the /tmp directory in the client machine. This method has the same effect as performing
Steps 1 through 4.
Step 6 Change to the tmp directory:
Step 7 Change the permission of the copied gzip file so that it can be executed:
Step 8 Unzip the Netscape Communicator file:
./gzip -d /tmp/NSCPcom.476.sparc.tar
Step 9 Untar the file:
tar xvf /tmp/NSCPcom.476.sparc.tar
Step 10 Install Netscape Communicator:
The pkgadd command installs the Netscape Communicator package in the /opt/NSCPcom directory.
Step 11 Add the /opt/NSCPcom directory to the PATH variable.
The CWM can now be installed.
