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.

You must have Common Services 3.0.3 and RME 4.0.3 installed on the same system as you intend to install RME 4.0.5.

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 there were any changes to the system files, you need to manually cleanup the installation directories. For more information, see Appendix A, "Frequently Asked Questions".


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


The installation program installs RME 4.0.5 in the same location as Common Services (/opt/CSCOpx by default) and starts CiscoWorks. This location is called NMSROOT in this document.

If you are 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 Appendix A, "Frequently Asked Questions".

RME 4.0.5 - Reinstallation

This section explains how to reinstall RME 4.0.5.


Note The installation program is able to detect whether you have already installed  RME 4.0.5. Your existing database is not affected by the reinstallation; however, you should back up the database before installing to prevent any possible loss of data. Your CiscoWorks Server configuration is also preserved.


You can reinstall RME 4.0.5 by following the corresponding installation flows and:

Selecting the Uninstall/Re-install All Updates option in Step 18 in"Performing New Installation—Typical" section

Or

Selecting the Uninstall/Re-install All Updates option in Step 19 in "Performing New Installation—Custom" section

If you had any errors during installation, check the installation log in the root directory on the drive where the operating system is installed. Each installation creates a new log file.

For example, the Common Services installation creates SystemDrive:\Ciscoworks_setupxx.log, where xx is the log file for the last CiscoWorks application installed. If you request for assistance, the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) might ask you to send them the installation log.

For other troubleshooting information, see Appendix A, "Troubleshooting the Installation".

Uninstalling RME 4.0.5

The uninstallation program removes files and settings. Uninstallation allows you to remove RME 4.0.5 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 6.1.5

2) Integration Utility 1.6

3) CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.5

4) Resource Manager Essentials 4.0.5

5) All of the above

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

Step 2 Enter any of the following — 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 and press Return.

A prompt similar to the following appears:

Are you sure you want to uninstall: CiscoView 6.1.5, Integration Utility 1.6, CiscoWorks Common Services 3.0.5, Resource Manager Essentials 4.0.5? (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 "You need to perform a series of procedures to install RME 4.0.5. Proceed with the installations, in the order listed below:" section.
