Overview

This chapter contains installation procedures for installing CDDM on Windows NT and Windows 95 hosts. (On Windows 95 hosts, only the DNM Browser component is supported.) The section "Before Installing" contains preliminary tasks you need to do before performing the installation, such as reading the release notes and verifying 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 a 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 how to proceed when the installation is complete. It also describes how to bring up the CDDM on-line documentation, should you want to consult product information in an online 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system (Windows NT, Windows 95, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX) and contain important information about this release that may not be published in this guide or in the other guides in the CDDM documentation set.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 automatically retains your previous configuration values, if any. To use the default values in the version you are installing, you must remove the existing installation and perform a fresh installation. See the section "Removing the Software" for information on how to uninstall a previous installation. If you are installing CDDM on a system running CSS1000, the installation program will overlay the new installation over your existing directory structure, and will update the file service.cnf to contain any new services.

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

Upgrading 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 the CDDM installation directory.

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

where license_key represents the current 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:

Step 1   Log in with administrator privilege.

Step 2   Insert the CDDM CD-ROM in the drive on your Windows NT workstation. If your Windows NT system has the auto-start feature enabled, the CDDM auto-start screen appears.

Step 3   If the CDDM auto-start screen appears, click on Install CDDM.

Step 4   If the auto-start feature is disabled on your system, note the CD drive letter (cd_drive, below), and run the Setup program:

cd_drive:\WINDOWS\i386\DISK_1\SETUP.EXE

Step 5   When the installation starts, click Next and follow the directions in the installation. You will be prompted for the following information:

• Package you wish to install.
  
  

  If you select Cisco DNS/DHCP Manager, all features are installed. (This package is available for Windows NT, but not for Windows 95.)

  If you select Cisco Server Suite 1000, all features except the DNM service are installed. (This package is available for Windows NT, but not for Windows 95.)

  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 system for those products.

---

• Your name, company, and license key.
  
  
• Whether or not to have CDDM automatically start up when your system boots up.
  
  
• The name of the host to be used by CDDM.
  
  

  You are only prompted for this information if the installation program cannot determine the host. Enter the fully qualified hostname to be used by CDDM. If you are using a TCP/IP stack from another vendor, the default hostname may be incorrect, and you must manually enter the correct name. (If you are running the Microsoft IP stack, the default hostname will be correct.)

• The directory on your hard disk where you want to install the software.
  
  
• The name of the program folder for the software.
  
  

---

Note Do not install the software in the program folder named "Program Folder." The CDDM installation program does not let you install in a folders that has a space in its name.

---

• Whether or not to install an HTML browser. (Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator is required to access the on-line documentation and context-sensitive help for the product.)
  
  

  The installation program searches your system for the presence of Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You are given the opportunity to install or update Netscape Navigator, if you would like the version shipped with CDDM.

• Whether or not you want to view the online release notes in HTML format after completing the installation.
  
  

When Setup finishes installing the CDDM software, it opens the CDDM 1.1(2) Release Notes with your HTML browser if you chose that option. The Cisco Server Suite program group appears in the Start menu.

Removing the Software

The method of removing installed software varies depending on what version of the operating system you are using, as follows:

• Under Windows NT v3.51, there is an "Uninstall" icon in the Cisco Server Suite program group for each package. To remove a product, simply double-click the appropriate icon.
  
  
• Under Windows NT v4.0 and Windows 95, you must remove installed products with the "Add/Remove Programs" icon in the Windows Control Panel.
  
  

Understanding the System State

At this point, you have installed the software and documentation packages that you specified during the installation.

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 with the Cisco Service Manager (CSM). The installation procedure for Windows NT installed the Master Server as a Windows NT Service and gave you the option of configuring the Master Server to automatically start when the system reboots.

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.

If you have used previous releases of CDDM on Solaris, HP-UX, or AIX, you may want to use existing CDDM configuration files on your Windows NT system. For details, see the following section, "Using CDDM Configuration Files From UNIX Systems."

To access product documentation online in HTML format, double-click the CDDM Online Documentation icon in the Cisco Server Suite program manager icon.

Using CDDM Configuration Files From UNIX Systems

This section describes how to move CDDM 1.1 configuration files from Solaris, HP-UX, or AIX systems to Windows NT systems. It assumes you have already installed and configured CDDM on a UNIX system, and that you have installed, but not yet configured, CDDM on your Windows NT system.

One of CDDM's strengths is that its configuration interfaces are identical on all operating systems. The similarity in interfaces also extends to the configuration files used by each version.

Although there is a one-to-one correspondence between CDDM configuration files on UNIX and Windows NT systems, you cannot simply transfer configuration files between systems without modification because:

• Some configuration parameters specify pathnames that are only valid on the original operating system. For example, the Cisco DNS server configuration specifies a full pathname of the backup file for each secondary zone. Specifying an invalid backup file prevents the DNS server from offering name resolution service for the corresponding zone. Be careful not to leave any UNIX-style pathnames with forward slashes ("/") in any Windows NT configuration files.
  
  
• New features in some CDDM 1.1 services prevent them from accepting CDDM 1.0 configuration files. You can only move configuration files between different operating systems if both systems run the same version of CDDM.
  
  

To transfer a CDDM configuration from a UNIX system to a Windows NT system:

Step 1   Upgrade the UNIX system to CDDM 1.1 if necessary. For instructions on upgrading Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX systems to CDDM 1.1, refer to Chapter 3, "Installing CDDM and CSS1000 on Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX Systems."

Step 2   Copy the configuration files listed in Table 2-1 from config directory in the CDDM installation directory on your UNIX system to the specified directory on your NT system.

where install_dir is the directory on your NT system in which CDDM is installed.

Step 3   Use a text editor such as the Windows NT Notepad to change pathnames in the following configuration files:

• bind.cnf
  
  
• ntp.cnf
  
  
• syslog.cnf
  
  
• tftpser.cnf
  
  

For example, if syslog.cnf includes the pathname /CSCOcddm/log/info.log, change it to a Windows-style pathname such as c:\multinet\log\info.log.

---

Note Make sure the directory portion of the NT pathnames corresponds to existing directories.

---

Step 4   If appropriate, make sure network services now point to your Windows NT system instead of your UNIX system. For example:

• If your Windows NT system is going to replace your UNIX system as your site's DNM server, make sure other DNS servers request zone transfers from your Windows NT system, and make sure your parent domain's name servers advertise your Windows NT system in DNS.
  
  
• If your Windows NT system is going to replace your UNIX system as your TFTP server for DHCP or BootP clients, use the Cisco Service Manager (CSM) to edit the TFTP-related parameters (such as the TFTP Server parameter) in your DHCP/BootP server entries. For details, see the Cisco DNS/DHCP Manager Administrator's Guide.
  
  
• Use the CSM to make sure the local DHCP/BootP servers and those running on other CDDM or Cisco Server Suite 1000 (CSS1000) systems specify your Windows NT system in the DNM-server-address parameter (in the Parameters tab in the DHCP StartUp tab).
  
  

Step 5   Use the CSM to configure each service to start automatically or manually, as needed, then restart the Master Server. For details, see the Cisco DNS/DHCP Manager Administrator's Guide.

Step 6   Use the CSM to configure the DNM server to perform zone transfers on the appropriate port. For example, if the DNM server needs to transfer zone data to the local DNS server, make sure the port is not 53. For details, see the section "Setting the DNM name service port to 705" in Chapter 4.

Step 7   Check the following CDDM log files for debugging errors:

• install_dir\log\masterserver.log
  
  
• install_dir\log\errors.log
  
  
• install_dir\log\info.log
