Installation Notes

Before you begin your installation, note the following:

Run the installation from a local CD or a local hard drive to avoid errors caused by network inconsistencies.

Install CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3 (Common Services) before installing RME 4.0.3.

For more information, see the Installation and Setup Guide for Common Services 3.0.3 (Includes Ciscoview) on Solaris.

You can press Ctrl-C at any time to end the installation. However, any changes to your system will not be undone.

For example, if any new files were installed or if they were any changes to the system files, you need to manually cleanup the installation directories. For more information, see "Troubleshooting the Installation".


Note We recommend that you do not terminate the installation while it is running.


The installation program installs RME 4.0.3 in the same location as Common Services 3.0.3 (/opt/CSCOpx by default) and starts CiscoWorks. This location is referred to as NMSROOT in this document.

The RME installation takes approximately 30 minutes.

If you running the installation from a remote CD drive or a remote hard drive, the installation time will vary based on your network connection.


Caution Do not change the system time after installing RME. Such changes may affect the working of some time-dependent features. For more information, see "Troubleshooting the Installation".

Installation Modes

You can install RME 4.0.3 either using Typical or Custom mode:

If you choose the Typical installation mode, the RME database password is randomly generated for you. You can view the password at the end of installation.

See Performing New Installation—Typical

If you choose the Custom installation mode, you are prompted to enter the RME database password.

Use a minimum of five characters and a maximum of 15 characters. Do not start the password with a number and do not insert spaces between characters.

This password is also used while restoring or troubleshooting the RME database.

Uninstalling RME

The uninstallation program removes files and settings. Uninstallation allows you to remove the product alone or remove Common Services as well. To remove Common Services, you must first remove RME.

Before removing the RME, you must remove any applications that depend on the product. That is, the applications for which installing RME is a prerequisite.


Caution You must use the uninstall program to remove the product. If you try to remove RME manually, CiscoWorks may stop functioning. Uninstalling the product software removes the database as well.

Uninstallation takes about 30 minutes.


Step 1 Enter these commands as root to start the uninstall program:

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

where /opt/CSCOpx is the default installation directory. If you specified a different directory when you installed Common Services, use the name of that directory.


Note You cannot uninstall Common Services without uninstalling RME.


A message similar to the following appears at command prompt:

1) CiscoView 6.1.2
2) Integration Utility 1.6
3) CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3
4) Resource Manager Essentials 4.0.3
5) All of the above

Select one or more of the items using its number separated by comma or 
enter q to quit [q]


Note You cannot uninstall Common Services without uninstalling RME.


Step 2 Enter 1, 2, 3 or 4 and press Return. The following prompt similar to the following appears:

A prompt similar to the following appears:

Are you sure you want to uninstall: CiscoView 6.1.2, Integration 
Utility 1.6, CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.3, Resource Manager 
Essentials 4.0.3? (y/n) [n]:

Step 3 Enter y and press Return to remove the applications you selected, or n to quit the uninstallation.

Messages prompting you to remove packages, may appear. You may ignore them since they are only for information. The installation program does not accept input to these questions.

After the uninstallation program completes, this message appears:

All files were deleted successfully.

When you remove Common Services or RME, the uninstallation program removes changes made to the /etc/services file. The /etc directory still contains all system file changes. The uninstallation messages are written to the /var/tmp/ciscouninstall.log file.


To install RME once again, follow the instructions in the "Performing New RME Installation" section.
