Installing the Operating System on the SC Hosts


This chapter describes installation of the Sun Solaris 2.6 operating system, Solaris patches, alarm card software, and Volume Manager software on the SC host.


Note This chapter is provided only for upgrades from the Cisco DAS Release 2.0 to the Cisco SS7 Interconnect for Access Servers Solution Release 2.x. Other solution upgrades do not require that the steps in this chapter be performed.



Note The Cisco SC software must be run on the Sun Solaris 2.6 operating system. Other versions of the Sun Solaris operating system are not supported.


This chapter contains the following sections:

Before You Start

Connecting to the SC Host

Stopping the SC Software

Installing the Sun Solaris 2.6 Operating System

Installing the Sun Solaris Patches

Installing the Alarm Card Software

Installing the Volume Manager


Note The procedures in this chapter assume that the system is powered on, with both boot disks (A-DSK0 and B-DSK0) removed and booted to the {O} ok prompt. To power on a CPU, push both tabs outward (away from the center). When you are instructed to power off a CPU in the procedures that follow, pull both tabs on the CPU toward the center.



Tip You can automate Sun Solaris installations by using JumpStart automated installation technology (not described in this document). Refer to the Sun web site for more information. Cisco recommends this resource: Automating SolarisTM Installations: A Custom JumpStart Guide, by Paul Anthony Kasper and Alan L. McClellan. First edition; 320 pages, ISBN 0-13-312505-X.


Before You Start


Note The procedures in this chapter require a working knowledge of the system administration procedures for the Sun Solaris (UNIX) operating system.


Obtain the following information specific to your target Sun Netra machine from your system site administrator:

Host name of target machine

IP address of target machine

Root password

Default router IP address

Second Ethernet IP address

Allow at least two hours downtime to install the Sun 2.6 operating system.


Caution In a simplex configuration, call processing will stop now. The host will not be able to process calls until you restart the software after the upgrade. See the "Restarting the SC Software" section on page 7-56. In a high-availability configuration, perform these steps on the standby host first. Unless the active host goes down, call processing will not stop.

Obtain the following CD-ROM disks:

Sun SolarisTM Operating Environment Installation CD, September 1999, p/n: 704-6914-10

Sun SolarisTM 2.6 Software, p/n: 704-6220-10

Sun SolarisTM 2.5.1 Software, to be used if you need to back out of the Sun Solaris 2.6 upgrade and reinstall Sun Solaris.

Netra t 11xx alarm card software CD, p/n 704-6330-10

Cisco Telephony Controller Software Release 7.3(x) CD or Cisco Media Gateway Controller Release 7.4(x) CD


Note If your processors are less than 419 MHz and you do not use the Operating Environment Installation CD to install the Sun 2.6 operating system, the interactive installation screen display differs from the two-CD installation process documented in this guide; however, the final result is the same.


You will need the following additional installation files:

Sun SolarisTM 2.6 patch software (CSCOh007.pkg)

Cisco Installation package (CSCOh005.pkg) for log and spool file installation.

You may need to obtain the following optional components, depending upon the system options you are installing:

Sun StorEdge Volume Manager 2.6, p/n: 704-6316-10

Cisco Installation package (CSCOh006.pkg) for Volume Manager 2.6 software

Netra t 11xx alarm card software CD, p/n 704-6330-10, if installing alarm card software.

The target machine must have a terminal connected by using a serial cable inserted into the console port.

Target machines from CTDI come with the Volume Manager License key. However, if your target machine source is not CTDI, you must obtain the Volume Manager License key from Sun Microsystems. Follow the instructions on the software license key request form to obtain a Volume Manager License key.

Have your company's internal support and Cisco support contact information readily available so you can get help with the installation if needed. If you have questions or need assistance, see the "Obtaining Technical Assistance" section on page xviii.


Tip Monitor system output frequently for error messages during the installation process and correct any error conditions before continuing with the installation.


Connecting to the SC Host

Connect your laptop processor's COM port to Port A on the SC host, and open a console connection using a terminal emulation program (such as Reflection). Cisco recommends selecting DEC VT100 as the terminal type. The PC Console terminal type does not work very well.


Note For procedures in this document, you must log into the system as the root user. Do not log in as another user and enter su to become root.


Your software should have been stopped if you backed up your data per the instructions in "Backing Up Your SC Host Data" To verify that the software is stopped, proceed to the "Stopping the SC Software" section.

Stopping the SC Software


Step 1 To check if the SC software is running, enter ps -ef | grep procM:

va-cerulean% ps -ef | grep tran

Step 2 If you receive a response showing the system is running, shut down the SC software by entering the /etc/init.d/transpath stop command:

va-lions:8> /etc/init.d/transpath stop Signalling procM to shut down ...shutdown complete


Caution This stops all processing of calls if you are logged in to the active server.

Step 3 Verify that the system has stopped by again entering the following:

ps -ef | grep procM

Make sure that you receive no response.

Installing the Sun Solaris 2.6 Operating System

This section provides instructions for installing the operating system on the Sun Netra t 1120, t 1125, and E450 platforms. There are points in the instructions when the responses you make to prompts depend on the disk drive size or other particulars of your system. These places are pointed out as you go.

This section contains the following procedures:

Booting from a Local CD-ROM

Loading the Sun Solaris 2.6 Operating System

Installing the Sun Solaris Patches

Installing the Alarm Card Software

Configuring a Second Ethernet Interface

Configuring a Second Disk Drive

Booting from a Local CD-ROM

To boot from a local CD-ROM, perform the following steps:


Step 1 Put the "Operating Environment Installation CD," part number 704-6914-10, into the CD-ROM drive.


Caution For Sun Netra t 112x: Leave the front CD panel open during the installation of CD-ROM-based software on a Sun Netra t 112x machine. Some installation routines automatically eject the CD when finished. If the front panel is closed, damage can occur when the CD is ejected.

Note Due to a known Sun bug, some installation routines may not automatically eject the CD when installing the Sun Solaris 2.6 operating system before the installation of the Cisco patch packages. You must copy patch 107665-01.tar.Z to a local directory. This patch will re-enable the CD-ROM.


Step 2 If the system is currently running, log in as root and shut it down:

# init 0

Step 3 From the ok prompt, boot the CD-ROM:

{0} ok boot cdrom


Note This process may take approximately 5 minutes to run.


If the machine has never had an operating system installed, the following screen appears when the CD-ROM boot is finished:

Configuring a Second Ethernet Interface

A second Ethernet interface is optional to the base configuration. The second interface must be configured separately by following the steps below:


Step 1 Edit the hosts file in /etc to add the IP address and host name of the second Ethernet interface.

Step 2 Save the file and close it.

Step 3 Create a new file named hostname.hme1 in directory /etc. On on the first (and only) line, place the host name for the second Ethernet interface.

Step 4 If the IP address of the second Ethernet interface is on a different network than that of the first Ethernet interface, and this network for the second Ethernet interface has a subnet mask, edit the netmasks file in /etc to add the netmask for the new network. Follow the example in the header of the file.

Step 5 Reboot the system by entering the following command and pressing Enter:

# reboot -- -r

Step 6 When the machine finishes rebooting, log in as root.

Step 7 Type the following command and press Enter:

# ifconfig -a

Verify that the new interface, hme1, appears in the output text that looks similar to the following:


Note IP addresses are for demonstration purposes only. Actual addresses differ in each application.


lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000 hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 172.24.235.53 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.24.235.255 ether 8:0:20:9a:76:6c hme1: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 172.24.237.53 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.24.237.255 ether 8:0:20:9a:76:6c


This completes the configuration of a second Ethernet interface.

If you have a second disk drive to configure, see the "Configuring a Second Disk Drive" section. Otherwise, continue with the next step in your upgrade procedure in Chapter 1, "Solution-Level Upgrade Procedures."

If you have questions or need assistance, see the "Obtaining Technical Assistance" section on page xviii.

Configuring a Second Disk Drive

If you have a second disk installed that you want to use as mirror of the first in order to increase the availability of the system, go to the "Installing the Volume Manager" section.

If you have a second disk installed that you want to use for log and spool systems in order to increase performance, go to the "Installing Log and Spool File Systems" section.

Installing the Volume Manager


Note If you are installing the operating system software on a single-host system, skip this section.


This section provides instructions for installing the Sun Enterprise Volume Manager 2.6 software, configuring the hard disk drives, and mirroring the operating system. Disk mirroring increases the availability of your system and prevents data loss. You can off load log and spool tasks to the second disk.


Caution This section should be used only for mirroring the boot disk drive onto a second disk instead of using the second drive for the log and spool file systems.

Use the second disk drive either for mirroring the first disk drive only, or for log and spool file systems only; do not use it for both.

This section contains the following procedures:

If the Multipathing driver is installed on the system then for the disk devices with multiple access paths, the controller number represents a multipath pseudo controller number. For example, if a disk has 2 paths from controllers c0 and c1, then the Volume Manager displays only one of them such as c0 to represent both the controllers.

Some examples would be:

c0t0d0 - first controller, first target, first disk c1t0d0 - second controller, first target, first disk c1t1d0 - second controller, second target, first disk

The Volume Manager has detected the following controllers on your system:
