Installing CDDM and CSS1000 on Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX Systems

Installing CDDM and CSS1000 on Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX Systems

This chapter describes how to install CDDM and CSS1000 on Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX systems. It contains the following sections:


Note For instructions on installing the software on Windows systems, refer to Chapter 2, "Installing CDDM and CSS1000 on Windows Systems."

Overview

This chapter contains installation procedures for installing CDDM on Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX hosts. The section "Before Installing" contains preliminary tasks you need to do before performing the installation, such as reading the release notes to verify your system resources. It also contains information about updating from earlier releases and upgrading your license.

Subsequent sections detail the installation process and explain additional host configuration issues. This chapter does not cover the actual configuration of the CDDM services. Chapters 4 through 6 present exercises that demonstrate how to configure services. The Cisco DNS/DHCP Manager Administrator's Guide provides complete configuration reference.

The section "Understanding the System State" describes the state of the host environment following the installation, so that you can have a clear understanding of this before proceeding to the CDDM configuration.

The section "Where to Go Next" describes where to proceed following the installation. It also describes how to bring up the CDDM on-line documentation, should you want consult product information in an on-line format.

Before Installing

This section describes tasks you should perform and issues you should be aware of before installing the software.

Reading the Release Notes

Read the release notes prior to installing the product. The CDDM release notes list the hardware and software requirements for each supported operating system (Windows NT, Windows 95, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX) and contain important information about this release that may not be published in this guide or in the other guides in the CDDM documentation set.

Updating the Software

With the CSS1000 and CDDM products, if you are updating from the previous version to the current version, or replacing one of these products with the other, the installation program will ask you the following:

If you overlay a new installation directly over a previous installation and choose to retain your previous configuration values, the old configuration files are preserved, with the suffix ".orig".

When updating the other packages (such as documentation or the DNM Browser), there are no previous configuration values to retain. The current version is simply installed.

Updating from an Evaluation Copy

If you obtained CDDM or CSS1000 as an evaluation copy, you need only update the license key to obtain full use of your product. This is done with the license key utility version, located in install_dir/CSCOcddm/bin, where install_dir is the directory in which you installed CDDM.

You can modify the license key of an installed product by typing the following command at the UNIX prompt:

version -l license_key

where license_key represents the new key and -l is the letter "l".

Installing the Software

This section describes how to install CDDM, CSS1000, or the DNM Browser from the CD-ROM shipped with the product. The basic instructions to invoke the install program are as follows:


Step 1   Log in as root.

Step 2   Mount the CDDM CD-ROM.

Step 3   If you are installing CDDM on an HP-UX system that does not support Rock Ridge filesystems, select or create a temporary directory, and run the following command:

mount_point/UNIX/HPUX/HPINST.\;1 target_directory

where target_directory is the temporary directory.

Step 4   To start the installation program on HP-UX systems without Rock Ridge extensions, enter the following command:

target_directory/hpux/install

where target_directory is the temporary directory chosen in Step 3.

Step 5   On all other platforms, enter the following command:

mount_point/unix/platform/install

replacing mount_point with the name of the directory where the CD-ROM is mounted, and platform with the name of your platform (e.g., solaris).

Step 6   Enter information as prompted by the installation program.

You are asked for various types of information, depending upon the packages you want to install, and whether you have a previous installation on your system. The information you may be prompted for is summarized here for convenience (not all of the items may apply to your installation):

  If you select Cisco DNS/DHCP Manager, all features are installed.
  If you select Cisco Server Suite 1000, all features except the DNM service are installed.
  If you select Cisco DNM Browser, only the DNM Browser is installed.
  If you select Cisco CDDM Documentation Only, only the documentation is installed. You have the option to install documentation in HTML format, PDF format, or both.

Note When you install any of the software packages listed above, the HTML documentation gets installed automatically, because it is used in the on-line help for those products.

If you are updating or upgrading your software, you may be prompted for the following:

After you have entered the information as prompted, the installation program unpacks the software and copies it to the specified destination directory. As a final step, it builds a product removal script (this may take several minutes).

Step 7   Remove the target_directory/doc and target_directory/hpux directories created in Step 3.

Configuring the Host Environment

This section describes host system configuration tasks.

Setting the Searchpath

For ease in using services that are controlled from the command line, we recommend that you configure your host to access the CDDM commands in install_dir/CSCOcddm/bin. There are two ways to do this:

In both cases, replace install_dir with the actual path to the installed files.

Removing the Software

To remove (uninstall) CDDM or CSS1000 from Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX systems:


Step 1   Make sure Master Server is stopped.

Step 2   Make sure your current working directory is not under the installation directory. If you are under the CDDM installation directory, the remove operation will not delete all of the CDDM directories.

Step 3   Enter the following command:

remove

This command is located in install_directory/CSCOcddm/bin. It is available to you automatically if you have updated your PATH environment variable or set the CSCOCDDM variable, as described in the section, "Setting the Searchpath."

Understanding the System State

At this point, you have installed the software and documentation packages that you specified during the installation and, possibly, performed some host configuration to make the software known to the system.

By default, the only service that is enabled to run is the Master Server, which starts and stops all other services. The Master Server lets you manually start, stop, and configure services through the Cisco Service Manager (CSM).

The installation is complete, but you cannot run any of the services (except the Master Server) until you perform the configuration steps described in Chapter 4, "Verifying the Installation."

Where to Go Next

Following the installation you should bring up the Cisco Service Manager (CSM) to configure and enable services. Refer to Chapter 4, "Verifying the Installation," for more information.

To access the on-line HTML documentation, start your web browser and open the file install_dir/CSCOcddm/doc/html/index.htm, where install_dir is the directory in which you installed CDDM or CSS1000.
