Installation Notes

Before you install Common Services, make sure your server and client environments meet the hardware and software requirements described in "Prerequisites."

We recommend you:

Close all applications before running Common Services installation.

Run the installation from a local CD or a local hard drive to avoid errors due to slow network performance.

Install Common Services on a system that has a static IP address.

We recommend that you do not:

Install Common Services on a system that is configured as a primary or backup domain controller.

Install Common Services on a FAT file system.

Install Common Services on Windows XP.

Run any other program when installation is in progress.

Install Common Services on Advanced Server with terminal services enabled in application server mode.

Install Common Services on a system with Internet Information Services (IIS) enabled.

Install Common Services on a system that does not have name lookup.

Do not install Common Services and ACS on the same machine. This is because ACS mandates CiscoWorks to be configured as an AAA client in it for CiscoWorks to avail AAA service.

At the same time, you cannot configure ACS as an AAA client as is required when ACS and CiscoWorks coexist. Hence the configuration required for ACS integration will fail.

Disable the virus scan software on your system. You can restart it after installation is complete.

Disinfect your system and end any Internet Explorer processes that are not responding. If you run the Common Services installer or uninstaller on a system that is infected with a virus or has an Internet Explorer process that has stopped responding, the installation or uninstallation process might stop unexpectedly.

If you are running HP Network Node Manager, the installation might take significantly longer to complete. Stop all HP Network Node Manager services before installing Common Services.

You might also see warnings that the installation system is running out of disk space. You can choose to free disk space on the system and click Yes to continue, or click No to exit the installation.

Do not select an encrypted directory. Common Services does not support directory encryption.

Installing Required Microsoft Software

Installing Common Services requires three or more Microsoft software applications. This depends on your system. The major steps required for installing Common Services are:


Step 1 Make sure the system has Microsoft Windows or Advanced server with service pack 3 or 4 installed. To verify the existing service pack:

From the Start menu, select Run and enter winver.

If version 5.0 Service Pack 3 or version 5.0 Service Pack 4 appears in the Version field, Service Pack 3 or 4 is already installed.

If this information does not appear, Service Pack 3 or 4 is not installed. Install it now.

Step 2 Make sure Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 is installed in the client and is running JVM version 5.0.0.3802 and later.

To verify the JVM version:

a. From the browser, select View > Java Console.

b. Enable Java Console if it is not listed in View. Select Tools  >  Internet Options  >  Advanced.

c. In the Microsoft VM section, select the Java Console Enabled.

d. Restart Internet Explorer.

Step 3 Make sure ODBC Driver Manager 3.5.10 or later (in 3.5x) is installed.

To verify the version of ODBC Driver Manager:

a. From the Windows desktop, select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources (ODBC).

b. Select the About tab.

If necessary, install Microsoft Data Access Component (MDAC) 2.5 or later.

Step 4 Make sure that all ODBC Core Components have the same version number. See the Microsoft web site for installation instructions.

While installing the required server software:

Always retain the newer file when you are prompted by an installation program to replace a newer file with an older file.

Always reboot your system when you are prompted to do so by an installation program.

You might be asked to register with Microsoft before downloading some of the required software. Complete the registration. Selections you make during registration will not affect the installation.
