Performing Installation of LMS 4.2
This section explains how to install LMS 4.2 on Soft Appliance, Windows and Solaris systems for the first time. It contains:
The LMS 4.2 installation program takes approximately:
- 35 minutes to complete on Windows
- 35 minutes to complete on Solaris
- 50 minutes to complete on Soft Appliance (OVA image)
- 75 minutes to complete on Soft Appliance (ISO image)
On a single server with the recommended hardware requirements. See System and Browser Requirements for Server and Clientt for more information.
- You must disable the Anti Virus enabled in your system before installation of LMS 4.2.
- If HP Openview is running on your system, installation will take a longer time. Disable HP Openview to run a faster installation.
- You must have local Administrator privileges before beginning the installation. Only a user with local Administrator privileges can install or uninstall the product.

Installation Procedure for Cisco Prime LMS 4.2 on Soft Appliance - OVA Image
Read the following notes before installing the software:
- Ensure that your system meets the recommended hardware and software specifications specified in Server Requirements on Soft Appliance Systems.
- Installing the Soft Appliance on a virtualized environment takes approximately 30 minutes for deployment in local systems and 50 minutes for deployment in a network.
- Soft Appliance OVA software can be installed only on VMware environment.
- In VMWare, the resources should not be in shared mode.
- Ensure that you comment the line var/log/boot.log under syslog.conf, as this may consume more space in boot.log when the syslog size is huge.
Note
You need not install any soft appliance image on the Virtual Machine (VM) before installing LMS 4.2, as the LMS 4.2 OVA image has embedded RedHat Enterprise Soft Appliance.

Note
Before extending the file system, check the storage space on VM. Before extending the file system, check the storage space on VM.
To check the file size in VMware, go to Configuration -> Storage -> Properties
Table 6-1 shows the VMware version and storage space details

Here /dev/sda partition used 161.0 GB
Hence, We have remaining 89 GB, so we can extend this by creating a new partition
Note
For VMWare 4.1.0, if fdisk shows 256 GB then we cannot extend using this disk as there is no space and new disk need to be created. For VMWare 4.1.0, if fdisk shows 256 GB then we cannot extend using this disk as there is no space and new disk need to be created.
Note
For VMWare 5.0.0 and VMWare 5.1.0, if fdisk shows 2 TB then we cannot extend using this disk as there is no space and new disk need to be created. For VMWare 5.0.0 and VMWare 5.1.0, if fdisk shows 2 TB then we cannot extend using this disk as there is no space and new disk need to be created.

This is the sysadmin username that you provided during installation.
Step 2
Enter the password.
Step 3
Enter the command shell
.
Step 4
Enter the following command to stop the Daemons:
/etc/init.d/dmgtd stop
Step 5
Enter exit
to go to the sysadmin mode.
Step 6
Enter the following command, in sysadmin view:
<HOSTNAME>/
sysadmin # config terminal
Enter the configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
In all the examples, sysadmin
represents the sysadmin username that you provided during installation.
Step 7
Change the required configuration details of the server.
You can change the hostname, Default DNS Domain, IP Address, IP Netmask, IP Default Gateway, Primary Name Server, Primary NTP Server, Time Zone, Username or Password. See Table 6-2 for more details.
Step 8
Enter the command end. The following will be displayed:
<HOSTNAME>/
sysadmin #
Step 9
Enter the following command to update the changes:
<HOSTNAME>/
sysadmin # write memory
Step 10
Right-click the server and select Power > Reset to start the server.
Or
Enter the following command:
<HOSTNAME>/
sysadmin # reload
Save the Current ADE-OS running configuration ?(yes/no)[yes]?yes
Note You should reboot the server only if you change the following configuration details:

Silent install does not prompt for your inputs. It continues the installation based on your inputs provided in a file. You should save the installation inputs in a file and store the file in the system. See Creating an Answer File and Sample Answer Files for more information.
To install LMS 4.2 in silent mode:
Step 1
Insert the LMS 4.2 DVD.

Step 3
Enter the following commands to install LMS 4.2 in silent mode:
- On Solaris: sh setup.sh -q answer_file_name

Creating an Answer File
The answer file is an ASCII file that provides the required inputs for quiet installations.
The answer file contains the following name=value pairs:
|
|
destination |
Optional. Allows quiet installation to install into a directory other than NMSROOT . If not specified, installation goes into /opt/CSCOpx on Solaris or c:\Program Files\CSCOpx on Windows. |
adminPassword |
Specifies the login password for the admin user. This is mandatory. |
secretPassword (Solaris only) |
Specifies the login password for the secret user. |
casuser (Windows Only) |
If casuser password does not exist by the time of installation, the framework generates random password for casuser.
- If the random password is successful, then no input is required.
- If the random password fails, installation opens a dialog requesting new password.
In quiet mode, installation attempts to load the casuser password from the answer file. If no casuser password is specified in the answer file, installation attempts random password, and might fail if the random password does not pass the company policy. |
systemIdentityAccountPassword (Windows only) |
Password for the System Identity Account. This is mandatory. |
