Verifying the Integrity of Installation Files

Disk 1 provides a vmmc_verify_digest.exe file with which you can perform integrity checks for all files on your VMS installation CDs. This tool is also available on Cisco.com for those who have an account established.

To verify the authenticity and integrity of your VMS files:

Step 1 Insert one of the VMS installation CDs into your CD-ROM drive and enter run vmmc_verify_digest.exe at the Windows command prompt.

The vmmc_verify_digest.exe file runs though a list of files that it will verify. After this is done, you are prompted for the directory where the files are located.

Note You can press any key to exit after the verification of the files on the CD or local directory.

Step 2 Highlight the CD location by browsing the folders on the CD-ROM and pressing Enter. Verify_digests.exe validates each file.

Note You can enter the CD-ROM drive letter and check the files on the Disk 1 itself or you can copy the files to your system and check them from the directory to which they were copied.

The output displays OK if the files are authentic. If any files are found to be inauthentic (that is, not from Cisco) or corrupt, Failure is displayed.

Step 3 Do one of the following:

•If there are no failure messages, proceed with installation.

•If you see a File not found message, check the location of the files. This means that the digest program cannot locate a file.

•If you see a failure message, you might have corrupt files. Repeat Step 2 to confirm that there is a failure and call Cisco TAC before proceeding with VMS installation.

Order of Installation

All VMS components rely on the VMS 2.3 version of Common Services which has Service Pack 3 embedded within.

Note Even if you have Common Services 2.2 with Update 1 installed, you must reinstall Common Services from Disk 1.

VMS 2.3 has only 2 product CD-ROMs, making the order of installation and upgrade straightforward. Disk 1 should be inserted with Common Services installed first, either by itself or with other Disk 1 components.

After Common Services is installed, any other component can be installed from either installation disk. The only exceptions are IDU 12 included on Disk 2 can only be installed after RME 3.5 has been installed.

Caution

Installing VMS

This section assumes you intend to install VMS in its entirety, including all components and updates on Disks 1 and 2, as listed in Chapter 1, "VMS Components." Complete installation takes about one hour.

Before You Begin

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_common_services_software/2.2/cd_one/installation/solaris/guide/comser22.html.

Step 10 Do one of the following:

•Select only those components you want to install (which must include Common Services).

•Click Select All to select all component check boxes and begin installation of the complete product.

Caution To avoid unnecessarily slow response times while using VMS, we recommend that you install VMS security configuration management components (Firewall MC, Router MC, IPS MC, and AUS) on a separate server from VMS monitoring components (Performance Monitor and Security Monitor).

The installation program begins by checking your system requirements, after which the System Requirements window shows the space available and that which is required and warns you if the VMS server does not have sufficient space.

Step 11 Do one of the following:

•Click Cancel if you must reconsider space and memory allocation.

•Click Next to continue installation.

Step 12 Enter an admin password followed by a password belonging to the profile casuser when prompted.

Note For more information on passwords see Appendix A, "Troubleshooting Installation."

The Select Database Location window opens, prompting you to confirm the location for the IPS database, if you are installing IPS. At this time you can verify or change the database location.

Step 13 Do one of the following:

•Click Browse to change the IPS database location.

•Click Next to continue installing the IPS database at the specified location.

The Select CiscoWorks Syslog Port window opens, prompting you to confirm or change the port selection.

Note For more information on ports see Appendix A, "TCP and UDP Ports Used."

Step 14 Enter a new port or click Next to continue installation using the specified port.

The Ports Configuration window opens, prompting you to change the default port values for Lock Manager (LM) and FMS database services if they conflict with another application on the server.

Step 15 Enter and confirm your VMS database password in the VMS Database Password window.

Step 16 Click Next.

The Summary windowasks you to verify the components being installed and their target directories.

Step 17 Click Next after you have done this verification.

A series of windows opens in quick succession notifying you of various installation activities such as checks and processes within CiscoWorks that are being stopped in order to install VMS component applications. This process lasts about 10 minutes after which you will see an installation progress bar window as VMS is being installed. This process can take 40 or more minutes. When the Disk 1 installation is complete, your system will automatically restart.

Note We recommend you restart the server before proceeding with the remainder of VMS installation.

Step 18 Insert Disk 2 into the CD-ROM drive.

Step 19 The top level directory should contain two .exe files corresponding the two Disk 2 applications: CSA MC and IDS MC/Security Monitor versions 2.0.1. You must manually start the installation for each component by double-clicking it when you are ready to install.

Note IDS MC/Security Monitor versions 2.0.1 are not required for new installations.

Step 20 Proceed to "Installing CSA MC" to complete VMS installation.

Installing CSA MC

CSA MC can only be installed after Common Services is installed, but it can be installed before or after RME. As part of CSA MC installation you will first install Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine followed by CSA MC.

Before You Begin

•Verify that all system requirements are met as listed in Chapter 1, "System Requirements."

•Have available Installing Management Center for Cisco Security Agents 4.5.1 in case more detailed installation or setup instructions are required. This is located on pdf in the Documentation directory of the installation CD and on Cisco.com at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/csa/csa45/install_guide/45inst.html.

•Exit any other programs you have running on the system where you are installing CSA MC.

To install CSA MC:

Step 1 Log in as a local Administrator on the server where you want to install CSA MC.

Step 2 Double-click the CSA MC .exe file in the top level directory of the Disk 2 CD-ROM.

The Installer window opens. The installation first checks to see if you have Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine (MSDE) installed. CSA MC uses MSDE for its configuration database. If this software is not detected, you are prompted to install it.

Note For installation exceeding 500 agents, we recommend that you install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 instead of using the Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine that is provided with VMS. Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Engine has a 2 GB limit. Note that SQL Server 2000 must be licensed separately and it must be installed on the system before you begin the CSA MC installation.

Note On a system where CSA MC has not been installed, the setup program first installs MSDE with Service Pack 3. If the CSA MC installation program detects any other database type attached to an existing installation of MSDE or a version of MSDE or SQL Server 2000 that does not have at least Service Pack 3, the installation will abort.

Step 3 Click Yes to install Microsoft SQL Server.

It takes a few minutes.

The first installation window shows the default SQL Server installation directory path and allows you to change the target directory if you choose.

Step 4 Click Browse to navigate to a different path or click Next to continue installation using the same path.

The installation lasts for a few minutes after which you must restart your system.

Step 5 Restart your system and begin the CSA MC installation again.

This time the installation program will detect the Microsoft SQL Server software and will proceed by displaying the installation wizard introduction window.

Step 6 Click Next to continue.

The installation program copies the necessary files to your system. The License Key popup window reminds you to obtain a license key.

Step 7 Click Yes so that you can browse to the license file on the Disk 2 installation CD and save it.

Note We recommend you download the CSA MC license key right away so that all downloaded and installed agent kits immediately operate fully, as soon as you install CSA MC.

After all files are copied, the installation program performs some preliminary system setup tasks. Message windows alert you to this activity.

After the CSA MC installation completes, an agent begins protecting your system immediately. We recommend that you allow this agent installation immediately, although you may uninstall the agent separately if you choose.

You are prompted to reboot your system within 2 minutes after the CSA MC agent installation completes. You must reboot your system before you can begin using CSA MC.

Note When you install CSA MC, the installation enables SSL in CiscoWorks. When you access CSA MC from within the CiscoWorks server desktop, you must have SSL enabled in CiscoWorks for CSA MC to allow the connection.

Uninstalling VMS

The uninstallation program removes all, or selected VMS component files and settings. Uninstallation takes about 30 minutes.

You can remove any part of VMS or all solution components in their entirety.You cannot uninstall CiscoWorks Common Services without uninstalling all other VMS components.

Caution You must use the VMS uninstallation programs to remove the product. If you try to remove any VMS components manually you can damage your system.

To uninstall VMS or any of its components:

Step 1 Select Start > Programs > CiscoWorks > Uninstall CiscoWorks.

The Uninstallation Setup window opens followed by the Uninstallation window which enables you to check which components you have selected to uninstall.

The Uninstallation window acknowledges having enough information to begin the uninstallation program and lists the components and versions you have selected to uninstall.

Step 2 Choose Back to change any of your selections, or click Next to begin uninstallation.

The remainder of the uninstallation continues with a long string of numbered status windows displaying the uninstallation events by component.

Step 3 Restart your system when uninstallation completes.
