Prior to installing the CCS 5.0, the following prerequisite softwares must be installed and properly configured on the Solaris server.
Install Solaris 8 (SunOS 2.8) Server with the latest patches.
Install JDK 1.3.1 that is available in the CCS 5.0 CD.
Install Sun ONE (iPlanet) Web Server 6.0 Service Pack 6 or greater (Enterprise Edition)
While installing iPlanet,
Sun ONE prompts for the type of installation, select 'Typical Installation'.
Sun ONE lists the components to be selected for this installation. Select 'Server Core', 'Java Support', 'Search and Index Support' and SNMP support . For example, type 1,3,4,5 and press <Enter>
Note: If you select 2, the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) of Sun ONE will be installed, and you will not be able to compile your CCS files.
Provide the location where the JDK is installed
Netscape Navigator version 4.76. (This browser may be located on a different machine.)
Install the Oracle database application before installing Collaboration Server. You can install the database application on the Collaboration server or on another machine connected via the TCP/IP network. Note: Microsoft SQL Server, however, does not run on Solaris.
Refer to the appropriate product installation manual for instructions.
Before installing Collaboration server:
Review the CCS hardware requirements. Confirm that the server on which you are installing the CCS meets the CCS hardware requirements.
Install and configure prerequisite software. Confirm that all CCS prerequisite software is installed and properly configured.
Read the CCS Release Notes for any updates pertaining to CCS installation.
Verify that the installation directory in the Solaris file system has sufficient space (300+ MB) to accommodate loading and installing CCS.
Verify that the Sun ONE (iPlanet) web server is installed and is functioning correctly.
Cisco recommends to run the installation program as root. Note: The CCS installation program can be run without root privileges. However, some of the iPlanet server instance files are affected by the CCS installation process.
If you intend to use SSL and non-SSL concurrently, you need to create a new server instance to handle SSL requests in addition to the non-SSL instance.
Familiarize your self with the following terms, please read the Sun ONE (iPlanet) documentation for complete details regarding your iPlanet web server.
server root: The root directory for the Sun ONE installation. Normally this is /usr/iPlanet/servers/.
server instance: This Sun ONE uses 'server instance' to refer an instance of the web server bound to a specific TCP/IP port. It is also used to refer to the directory in which the web server's configuration files, logs, start and stop scripts, and other dynamic configuration information is stored. The naming scheme for a server instance is always '<server root>/https-<server name>'. Assuming the default server root, a typical server instance could be: /usr/iPlanet/servers/https-www.myserver.com and /usr/iPlanet/servers/https-www-secure.
The Sun ONE installer always uses the https prefix in server names regardless of whether or not the server is configured for SSL.
The Sun ONE installer always creates an https-admserv server instance. The CCS install script excludes this server from the list of possible instances for which CSS can be installed, since this is the server instance that pertains to the Admin UI.
Sun ONE Admin UI This is the web-based user interface for the Sun ONE (iPlanet) server. You can access it over the administration port (8888 by default). If you have installed Sun's AnswerBook application, port 8888 may already be in use, so a different port may be used for the Sun ONE (iPlanet) Admin UI.
