This chapter explains how to install Prime Network Operations Reports with gateway high availability. For details about how to use Operations Report and its database, see the Cisco Prime Network 4.3.2 Operations Reports User Guide .
Note You cannot install Operations Reports on an IPv6-only server. You can install it on an IPv4-only server or on a dual stack server (IPv4 and IPv6) but only IPv4 address can be used for communicating with the report server.
Operations Reports uses data from the Oracle database and its own Infobright database. The Infobright database is installed as part of the Operations Reports installation.
The Operations Reports high availability files are provided on the Prime Network installation DVD named Disk 5: Prime Network Operations Reports. That DVD contains the tar file infobright_integ.zip, which contains the Operations Reports installation files and the rpm’s required for Operations Reports installation.
Table 5-1 provides the basic steps you must follow to set up Operations Reports.
Collect server details, so that you have all information handy prior to installation. |
Note This should be floating IP in case of local redundancy. |

Depending on your setup, verify the server meets the prerequisites. |

To install Operations Reports and the Infobright database on the gateway:
Step 1 On the primary cluster node (P1), log in as root, and make sure the cluster is in the working state.
Step 2 Insert Disk 5: Prime Network Operations Reports in the DVD drive.
Step 3 Mount the inserted DVD using the mount command and change to the mount location.
Step 4 Locate the infobright_integ.zip file under the mount location and change to its parent directory.
Step 5 Extract the Operations Reports installation files:
Note Do not extract the files to a private folder such as /root.
Step 6 Change to directory where the installation files were extracted and run the installation script:
Step 7 Enter the required information at the prompts.
Step 8 On the primary cluster node (P1), log in as root, and run clustat again to verify that the ifb service was created and is running.
Step 9 Restart the gateway and unit to complete the installation (enter yes ).
Step 10 Launch Operations Reports using this URL (in this example, gateway-IP would be the IP address for local-01.
