Using the VMS Management and Monitoring Centers Installer

With the VMS Management and Monitoring Centers installer, you can install or upgrade any Management Center product including CiscoWorks from a single CD. Follow the steps listed here to begin the installation or upgrade, and then proceed to one of the following sections:

To run the VMS Management and Monitoring Centers installer, follow these steps:

Step 1   Insert the VMS Management and Monitoring Centers 2.2 (VMMC) Startup Disk CD into the CD-ROM drive, and then click Install on the Setup Program page that appears.

If the installation program does not start, select Start > Run from the Windows taskbar, and then enter d:\setup in the Run dialog box, where d is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive. Press Enter to start the installation program.

The VMS Management and Monitoring Centers 2.2 page of the CiscoWorks InstallShield wizard lists all VMMC products and requests that you select the check boxes next to the products you want to install. There are also options to Select All and to Cancel installation.

Step 2   Select Management Center for IDS and/or Security Monitor to install IDS MC and/or Security Monitor. Deselect all other check boxes. Then, click Next.

The Ready to Install the Program page appears.

Step 3   Click Install to continue.

The VMMC installer runs the installation script for IDS MC and Security Monitor. If you are performing a new installation, proceed to Installing IDS MC and Security Monitor. If you are performing an upgrade, proceed to Upgrading Existing Installations.
