Installing and Configuring CiscoWorks Blue

Installing and Configuring CiscoWorks Blue

This chapter describes how to install and configure CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View on AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris workstations. It contains the following main sections:


Note Refer to the Release Notes for CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View Software Release 2.0 for cautionary statements about the installation and configuration process. Also review the section "Collecting Data for Installation" section.

Upgrading to CiscoWorks Blue Release 2.0

This section describes how to upgrade to CiscoWorks Blue Maps or SNA View Release 2.0 from a previous release.

Creating a Seed File from a Previous Software Release Database

Use the following procedure to create a seed file from your Version 1.2 database for use with your Version 2.0 applications.



TimeSaver You can avoid having to discover the network from the network management database by creating a seed file or saving the seed file from Maps Software Release 1.2.

Step 1 Ensure that the database server is running by using the following command:

    ps -ef | grep dataserver

Step 2 Set the following environment variables:

Step 3 Enter the following command:

    /installation_directory/etc/CreateSeedFile -s destination_file

Where:

installation_directory is the directory in which you installed CiscoWorks Blue Maps release 1.2, for example, /usr/cw-blue.

destination_file is the path and name of the new seed file that you want to create. Create the seed file outside the CiscoWorks Blue maps file structure so that it is not deleted during installation of release 2.0.

Upgrading SNA View 1.2 Configurations

If you specify the same domain name during release 2.0 configuration, your mainframe connection configuration file will be upgraded automatically.

Using CiscoWorks Blue 2.0 Workstation Software with SNA View 1.2 Mainframe

You can migrate your workstation to CiscoWorks Blue release 2.0 while leaving the mainframe at SNA View release 1.2. CiscoWorks Blue release 2.0 Maps and SNA View applications work and communicate with the older SNA View release 1.2 mainframe application, but only at the release 1.2 level of function. If you chose to leave the mainframe at the release 1.2 level for now, you should plan to upgrade it to release 2.0 soon to get the full 2.0 capability.


Note If you plan to connect a workstation running CiscoWorks Blue release 2.0 to a mainframe running SNA View release 1.2, set MESSAGES OFF in the NSPPARM file on the mainframe to avoid connectivity problems.

Saving the cwbinit File

Before you install CiscoWorks Blue release 2.0, you might want to save the $CWBROOT/etc/cwbinit configuration file. Although the release 1.2 version of this file is not suitable for use with release 2.0, you can copy settings from the older version after you install release 2.0.

Deinstalling Maps and SNA View Release 1.2

Before you install CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View release 2.0, you must deinstall Version 1.2. Use the procedure described in the "Deinstalling CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View Release 1.2" section.

Installing and Configuring CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View

You can install and configure CiscoWorks Blue Maps and CiscoWorks Blue SNA View from a local or remote CD-ROM drive. In either case, you install both Maps and SNA View at the same time. The license that you purchase from Cisco determines which applications you can use.

This section includes the following topics:

If it is necessary to reinstall a CiscoWorks Blue product, deinstall the existing software using procedures in the "Deinstalling CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View Release 2.0" section, and then reinstall as if it were a new installation.

Installing CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View

Use the following procedure to install the software on your system. The default for each prompt is the value in brackets. To accept any default value, press Enter.


Note If you are installing from a remote CD-ROM drive, insert the CD-ROM into the drive on a remote system and export the CD-ROM file system (make it available to an outside system). If you are installing from a local CD-ROM drive, insert the CD-ROM in the drive on the local system, then mount the CD-ROM file system on the local system. If you do not know how to mount a CD-ROM drive from a local or remote system, see the appendix "Mounting a CD-ROM."

Note If you are installing from a remote system, you must export your display to that remote system to view the applications that are started at the end of the installation process.

If You Have Already Installed a CiscoWorks Blue Release 2.0 Product

If you have already installed one of the CiscoWorks Blue 2.0 products, either Maps or SNA View, and now want to install the other CiscoWorks Blue 2.0 product, do not go through the installation process. Instead, apply the second license key to the license file, as described in the "Applying Licenses After Installation" section.

Installing the CiscoWorks Blue 2.0 Products

The default for each prompt is the value shown in brackets. To accept any default value, press Enter.

Step 1 Before you start, collect the necessary information as described in the "Collecting Data for Installation" section.

Step 2 If you have any previously installed version of CiscoWorks Blue Maps or SNA View, deinstall it as described in the "Deinstalling CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View Release 2.0" section before you begin to install CiscoWorks Blue Maps or SNA View Version 2.0.

Step 3 Start the interactive installation script by entering the following command:

    # /cdrom/setup.sh

Step 4 If you have already installed the products and are already licensed for Maps, you will see the following message. Press Enter to install a license for SNA View.

INFO: You are currently licensed for CiscoWorks Blue Maps. Do you want to enter license for CiscoWorks Blue SNAView [yes|no]? [Y]

Step 5 If you have already installed the products and are already licensed for SNA View, you will see the following message:

    INFO: You are currently licensed for CiscoWorks Blue SNAView. Do you want to enter license for CiscoWorks Blue Maps [yes|no]? [Y

Press Enter to install a license for Maps.

Step 6 If you have already installed the products but did not apply any license, and then you reran the installation program, you will see the following message:

You are not licensed for CiscoWorks Blue Maps or SNAView. Do you want to enter license key(s) for CiscoWorks Blue [yes|no]? [Y]

Press Enter to install a license.

Step 7 The setup program starts and displays the following banner:

********************************************************************** * Cisco Systems * . . . . * | | CiscoWorks | | * :|: :|: Blue Maps and SNA View :|: :|: * :|||||: :|||||: :|||||: :|||||: * .:|||||||:..:|||||||:. Setup Program .:|||||||:..:|||||||:. *********************************************************************
Note Installation error messages are self-describing and are not described in this manual. If you cannot complete the installation sucessfully, call the Cisco TAC.

Step 8 On Solaris, if you have more than one network management system (NMS) installed, select which NMS to integrate with CiscoWorks Blue. The installation program detects whether you have any network management systems installed. If it finds more than one NMS, it asks you to select which to use. In response to the following prompt, type SNM to use the Sun Net manager, or type HPOV to use HP-OpenView.

INFO: Install program detected SunNet Manager and HP Openview installed on the machine. Which NMS platform do you want to use to integrate CiscoWorks Blue Product?: [SNM/HPOV]

Step 9 If the installation program cannot find an NMS, either enter the NMS path or specify no NONMS:

In response to the following prompt specify which NMS is installed:
Install program did not detect either HP OpenView or SunNet Manager Do you have either HP OpenView or SunNet Manager installed on the system? [HPOV/SNM/NONMS]
In response to the following prompt specify which NMS is installed:
Install program did not detect HP OpenView Do you have HP OpenView installed on the system? [HPOV/NONMS]
In response to the following prompt specify which NMS is installed:
Install program did not detect NetView for AIX Do you have NetView for AIX installed on the system? [NETV/NONMS]

Step 10 And, in response to the next prompt, enter the full path name for the NMS:

    Enter the SunNet Manager installation root directory:
    Enter the HP OpenView installation root directory:
    Enter the NetView for AIX installation root directory:

Step 11 In response to the following prompt, enter the path and name of your Netscape browser binary file (the executable file):

    Enter fully qualified Netscape browser executable path

Type the full path (including file name) to the Netscape browser binary file, for example:

    Enter fully qualified Netscape browser executable path /usr/local/packages/cnetscape/current/Solaris-2.5/netscape.128

If you do not have Netscape installed yet, you can install it later. At that time, add the string Netscape to your path statement, and ensure that the Netscape executable name is Netscape.

Step 12 In response to the following prompt, press Enter to accept the default or enter a new path for installing the product. Normally the installation program chooses the drive with space available.

    Where should the product be installed? [/opt]

Step 13 If any of the required TCP ports are in use, in response to one of the following prompts, supply an unused port number.

    Which tcp port should Web Server use?
    Which tcp port should Open Server Gateway use?
    Which tcp port should Name Server use?

Step 14 If a port is reserved in the /etc/services file but does not appear to be in use at this time, you might see the following message. If you want to keep the port reserved, press Enter.

    WARNING: Port port_number/protocol is reserved for application_name service in /etc /services file. Do you want to use port_number/protocol anyway [yes|no]? [N]

Step 15 For AIX systems, if there is insufficient room in the /usr file system, in response to the following prompt press Enter to expand the /usr file system:

    /usr has insufficient space for installation. Do you want to expand /usr partition [yes|no]? [Y]

Step 16 The program installs the software from CD-ROM and reports on its progress.

You can use the more command to examine the installation log file for error messages.

    more /opt/CSCOcb/install/cwb_install.log

Press the Spacebar to advance the display one screen at a time.

When installation is complete, the cwbinit script is added to the system initialization files to automatically start the CiscoWorks Blue processes when you reboot.

This concludes the installation process. Proceed to the next section to apply your licenses for CiscoWorks Blue applications.

Applying the CiscoWorks Blue Licenses

During installation, you can apply the license information for the Maps and SNA View applications. If you do not apply the license information now, you can apply it later in one of the following ways:

Step 1 In response to the prompt, enter the Maps license key as found in your licensed materials. If you are not licensed for Maps, just press Enter.

    Enter the CiscoWorks Blue Maps license key (example:123456789012) or press enter if not licensed for CiscoWorks Blue Maps

Step 2 In response to the following prompt, enter the SNA View license key as found in your licensed materials. If you are not licensed for SNA View, press Enter.

    Enter the CiscoWorks Blue SNA View license key (example:123456789012) or press enter if not licensed for CiscoWorks Blue SNA View

Step 3 In response to the prompt, press Enter to configure the installed product now and go to the next section. If you enter N, you can configure the product later using the cwb config command.

    Would you like to configure CiscoWorks Blue Maps now [yes|no]? [Y]

Proceed to the next section to configure CiscoWorks Blue applications.

Configuring CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View

After you install Maps and SNA View, configure the application using the following procedures.


Note If you do not configure now, you can use the /opt/CSCOcb/bin/cwb config command to configure later.

The default for each prompt is the value shown in brackets. To accept any default value, press Enter.

The installation script should automatically start the configuration script. If it does not, or if you want to reconfigure the product at any time, you can start the interactive configuration script as described in the "Configuring CiscoWorks Blue after Installation" section.


Note You must have applied a valid Maps or SNA View license to configure the product.

Step 1 In response to the following prompt, press Enter to configure the host connection now.

Would you like to Add/Modify/Delete a SNA host connection [yes|no]? [Y]

Step 2 At the following prompt, enter the name of the mainframe SNA domain in upper-case letters:

    SNA Domain name(s) (Use upper case letters only):MVSD

To specify a domain name, enter any 1- to 8-character alphanumeric value. Choose a name that is meaningful in your environment, such as an SSCP name or host PU name. This domain name is added as an extension to all PU and LU names to create the format PUNAME.DOMAIN, which is used in the SNA View database and on the Maps views. You must use all uppercase characters in domain names.

Step 3 To reconfigure an existing domain, specify an existing domain name. The configuration program displays a message informing you of the reconfiguration of the existing file.

    Would you like to modify it [yes|no]? [Y]

You might want to reconfigure an existing domain if you migrated configuration files from a previous release of SNA View, as mentioned in the "Upgrading to CiscoWorks Blue Release 2.0" section.

Step 4 At the following prompt, specify whether the connection to that domain is using LU 6.2 or TCP/IP:

    Connectivity to mainframe (TCP or LU62): TCP

For Solaris systems, this is always TCP.

If you enter TCP, then Process Manager automatically starts the cwbhcid daemon to start a connection to the mainframe component.

Step 5 At the following prompt, for TCP/IP connections only, enter the TCP/IP address or host name for the SNA mainframe:

    Mainframe TCP/IP Name or Address: rtpmvsd

For each SNA domain that you configure, the program builds a configuration file named /etc/svopen_config_DOMAINNAME, where DOMAINNAME is the name of the SNA domain that you specified. To review the SNA parameter values, edit this file as described in the section "Configuring Domain-Specific Parameters."

Step 6 When you see the following prompt, enter Y to configure another host domain or enter N to finish configuring host domains.

    Configure another SNA host connection [yes|no]? [N]

Step 7 In response to the following prompt, press Enter to specify that you manage APPN. This makes cwbsnamapsd dependent on AppnPollerServer in the Process Manager, and is used by cwb verify to check for valid configuration.

    Configure APPN [yes|no]? [Y]

Step 8 In response to the following prompt, press Enter to specify that you manage DLSw. This makes cwbdlswpollerd and cwbtrapd (if an NMS is present) start automatically in the Process Manager, and is used by cwb verify to check for valid configuration.

    Configure DLSW [yes|no]? [Y]

Step 9 In response to the following prompt, press Enter to specify that you manage RSRB. This makes cwbrsrbpollerd and cwbtrapd (if an NMS is present) start automatically in the Process Manager, and is used by cwb verify to check for valid configuration.

    Configure RSRB [yes|no]? [Y]

Step 10 In response to the following prompt, press Enter to specify that you manage TN3270.

    Configure TN3270 [yes|no]? [Y]

This concludes the configuration process. Proceed to the "Starting the CiscoWorks Blue Processes" section to start CiscoWorks Blue processes.

Starting the CiscoWorks Blue Processes

This section describes how to start CiscoWorks Blue processes during installation.

Step 1 If you are already licensed for either Maps or SNA View, and it is now running, press Enter when you receive the following message:

    INFO: CiscoWorks Blue Servers are currently running. You must restart all CiscoWork Blue processes to make these changes effective. Do you want to restart CiscoWorks Blue processes [yes|no]? [Y]

Step 2 In response to the following prompt, press Enter to start the CiscoWorks Blue servers. If you enter N, you can start the servers yourself with the cwb start servers command, as described in "Monitoring and Controlling CiscoWorks Blue Applications."

      Would you like to start the CiscoWorks Blue Maps processes now [yes|no]? [Y]

Step 3 When the servers are started, the installation program displays the current status of all CiscoWorks Blue servers and processes:

    CiscoWorks Blue Naming Server Started.
    CiscoWorks Blue Process Manager Started.
    Process Manager running with processes:
    CWBHTTPAdapter Ready CWBOSAMonitor Ready cwbhcid_MVSD Ready CWBPMMonitor Ready cwbrsrbpollerd Ready cwbsnamapsd Ready cwbtrapd Ready CWBMsgLogServer Ready AppnPollerServer Ready cwbdlswpollerd Ready CWBDBAdapter Ready cwbmonitord Initial

Step 4 The installation program starts the following applications:


Note The Administration application, and the Process Manager and Message Logger clients require X-Windows support. If you are installing the product from a remote workstation, you need an X-Windows server and you must export your display to that server to use these applications.

Now that all the servers and processes are running, go to the "Finishing Installation" section to finish the installation.

Finishing Installation

After the installation process is complete and the CiscoWorks Blue programs are started, you can create a seed file, specify DLSw key routers, and discover the network routers.

Create a Seed File with DLSw Key Routers

This step is optional. A seed file is a file that contains a list of router names or addresses. You can list the routers in either of two formats:

router [ReadCommunityString] [key]

or

router:[ReadCommunityString]:[key]

Where:

key indicates that this is a DLSw key device. This option does not apply to APPN, RSRB, or TN3270 devices. If you omit the word key the router is not considered a DLSw key device.

For information about creating a seed file, see the "Discovering the Network with a Seed File" sections for each protocol (DLSw, RSRB, TN3270, and APPN) in "Starting the User Applications."

Discover the Routers

You can discover the network devices using the CiscoWorks Blue Administration application, as described in "Using the Administration Application."

Now that all the servers and processes are running, and you have created a seed file and discovered the routers in the network, go to "Monitoring and Controlling CiscoWorks Blue Applications" to learn how to control the applications.

Specify DLSw Key Devices

For DLSw networks, you can specify a few key devices: routers through which most sessions flow. Key devices are polled for DLSw circuits, which are used for SNA correlation. If a session does not pass through a key device, SNA View cannot display the DLSw routers in the dependency views.

If you discover network devices from a seed file, you can designate key devices in the seed file. If you discover network devices from a network management system database, you can use the CiscoWorks Blue Administration program to specify which routers are designated as key.

Run the Verification Program

After you finish installing the CiscoWorks Blue products, configuring the products, and discovering routers for the database, use the verification program to ensure that all went successfully. Click Verify on the Administration window or enter the commands shown below:

cd /opt/CSCOcb/bin ./cwb verify

The verification program does the following:

======================================================================= CiscoWorks Blue Verification Wed Jan 20 14:56:26 1999 nchand-u5 ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Process Summary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Name Configured Ready ------ ------------ ------- APPN Yes Yes Base Yes Yes DLSw Yes Yes RSRB Yes Yes TN3270 YesYes SNA Yes Yes ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Database Summary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Total number of devices: 13 APPN: 3 DLSw: 8 RSRB: 3 TN3270: 2 DLSw Key Devices: 6 Physical Units: 7 Logical Units: 7 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Action Summary ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Warnings: 1.

The last section of the report suggests changes you might make to improve the CiscoWorks Blue installation.

Configuring the Host Connection

This section describes how to configure the connection between the Maps and SNA View workstation component and the mainframe component. It contains these topics:

Configuring Domain-Specific Parameters

This section describes how to configure domain-specific parameters for an SNA domain. For each SNA domain that you configure, the configuration program creates a file named /etc/svopen_config_DOMAINNAME, such as /etc/svopen_config_TEXAS using the domain name and protocol (TCP or LU 6.2) to create a set of default values in the configuration file. You can edit this file directly, if necessary, to change the values. The following is a sample configuration file.

SVMF_AGENT_ADDR rtpmvsd SVMF_CONNECT TCP INCLUDE_LUS yes SVCMD_TIMEOUT 30 SV_KEEPALIVE 30 SV_DISCOVER_DISPLAY TOGGLE SV_DISCOVER_INTERVAL 10 SV_EVENT_GEN YES SVPATH /opt/CSCOcb/snahost SVWORK_AREA /opt/CSCOcb/snahost/tmp SVCMDS_AGENT_PORT 6100 SVHCI_STATUS_PORT 6101 SVACK_AGENT_PORT 6102 SVHCI_CMD_PORT 6103 SVMF_HCI_AGENT_PORT 6104 SVMF_CMDS_AGENT_PORT 6105

Table 3-1 lists the parameters that must be set in the configuration file. Table 3-2 lists additional parameters that you may choose to customize. Table 3-3 lists additional parameters whose defaults you may choose to accept.

Configuration Parameter Descriptions

The following sections describe each parameter in detail.

Required Parameters

Set the following parameters, or accept the default values, for each domain:

Parameters You Might Want to Change

These parameters have preset default values that suit most users. Review the default setting for each parameter and decide whether it meets your requirements. You may want to change some of these parameter values.

Parameters You Might Want to Accept

These parameters have preset default values that suit most users. Review the default setting for each parameter and decide whether it meets your requirements. Depending on how your workstation is configured, you may want to change some of these parameter values.

The port values that the SNA Host component specifies as default values can be changed if any of these ports are already in use at your site. We recommend that the port values be greater than 6000 and not exceed 9999.
When you are managing more than one domain, the Maps and SNA View installation program automatically increments the port values for each specified domain by 20. For example, if a port number in domain ABC is 6100, the SNA Host component automatically sets the value for the same configuration parameter in domain DEF to 6120. If the port numbers are already in use, please modify them to fit your site's requirements.

Configuring LU 6.2 Connectivity to the Mainframe

This section explains how to configure LU 6.2 connectivity between the SNA Host workstation component and the mainframe.

Before You Configure the SNA Host Component for Maps and SNA View

Before starting the steps to allow the SNA Host component on the workstation to communicate with the mainframe, you must first do all the necessary configuration to allow an LU 6.2 session to flow from the workstation to the mainframe. You may need to make changes to both VTAM and the workstation application that supports LU 6.2 sessions. The workstation LU 6.2 programs are HP-UX SNAplus2 (including SNAplus2 Link and SNAplus2 API) and IBM Communications Server for AIX. If the workstation is not directly connected to the mainframe running the SNA Host component, but the session instead passes through one or more VTAMs before reaching the destination VTAM, then the correct configuration may require changes to all VTAMs (and possibly NCPs in the path). It is not the intent of this book to document all the steps necessary to set up the network. See the relevant IBM VTAM and NCP publications for more setup information.

If this LU 6.2 configuration has not yet been done, the installation should be delayed until the LU 6.2 configuration is complete. One way to determine whether there is LU 6.2 connectivity between the workstation and the mainframe is to issue the VTAM command D NET,APING,ID=NETID.RESOURCE. The NETID.RESOURCE should be the fully qualified name of the SNA workstation. Until this returns a positive response, CiscoWorks Blue applications are unable to connect to the workstation.

After the initial LU 6.2 configuration is complete, you can use the procedures in the following sections to complete the configuration for the SNA host component.

Configuring LU 6.2 Connectivity for the SNA Host Component on AIX

If the AIX workstation is connected to the mainframe using SNA LU 6.2, use this procedure to configure the LU 6.2 operating environment. This procedure creates the sna_tps file for transaction program profiles for the command server and the message server and a logmode named PARALLEL.

To configure AIX, you first create a file named sna_tps, and then you configure PARALLEL mode processing, as described in the following sections:

Creating the sna_tps File on AIX

To configure the LU 6.2 transaction programs that the SNA host component uses to communicate between an AIX workstation and a mainframe, create a configuration file named /etc/sna/sna_tps, as described in the IBM Communication Server for AIX publications. Use the /etc/sna/sna_tps file to define two transaction programs (TPs) named NSPOPNMS and NSPOPNCS. The following example shows a /etc/sna/sna_tps file:

[NSPOPNCS] LUALIAS = "" DESCRIPTION = "" USERID = root GROUP = system TIMEOUT = 60 TYPE = QUEUED-BROADCAST STYLE = COMPATIBLE PATH = /opt/CSCOcb/bin/cwbstarttp ARGUMENTS = cwbhcmd_server MYDOMAIN [NSPOPNMS] LUALIAS = "" DESCRIPTION = "" USERID = root GROUP = system TIMEOUT = 60 TYPE = QUEUED-BROADCAST STYLE = COMPATIBLE PATH = /opt/CSCOcb/bin/cwbstarttp ARGUMENTS = cwbhci_server MYDOMAIN

This sample /etc/sna/sna_tps file defines two transaction programs:

In the file, each transaction program name is enclosed in brackets, as shown below:

[NSPOPNMS] [NSPOPNCS]

For each TP, code the following entries:

Configuring PARALLEL Mode on AIX

After you create the /etc/sna/sna_tps file, create a new LU 6.2 session profile named PARALLEL as described in the Communication Server for AIX publications. The following is a sample file:

[define_node] cp_alias = cwbaix11 description = cwb-aix11 local node definition fqcp_name = NETA.CWBAIX11 node_type = NETWORK_NODE mode_to_cos_map_supp = NO mds_supported = YES node_id = <00000000> max_locates = 1500 dir_cache_size = 255 max_dir_entries = 0 locate_timeout = 0 reg_with_nn = YES reg_with_cds = YES mds_send_alert_q_size = 100 cos_cache_size = 24 tree_cache_size = 40 tree_cache_use_limit = 40 max_tdm_nodes = 0 max_tdm_tgs = 0 max_isr_sessions = 1000 isr_sessions_upper_threshold = 900 isr_sessions_lower_threshold = 800 isr_max_ru_size = 16384 isr_rcv_pac_window = 8 store_endpt_rscvs = NO store_isr_rscvs = NO store_dlur_rscvs = NO dlur_support = YES pu_conc_support = YES nn_rar = 128 max_ls_exception_events = 0 ms_support = NORMAL queue_nmvts = NO ptf_flags = NONE

Configuring LU 6.2 Connectivity for SNAplus2 on HP-UX

This section describes how to configure SNAplus2 for LU 6.2 support on HP-UX. (LU 6.2 is not supported on Solaris.)

To configure HP-UX SNAplus2, you first create a file named sna_tps, and then you configure PARALLEL mode processing, as described in the following sections:

Creating the sna_tps File on HP-UX

To configure the LU 6.2 transaction programs that the SNA host component uses to communicate between an HP-UX workstation and a mainframe, create a configuration file named sna_tps, as described in the SNAplus2 Administration Guide and SNAplus2 Installation Guide. Use the sna_tps  file to define two transaction programs (TPs) named NSPOPNMS and NSPOPNCS. The following example shows a sna_tps file.

#SNA Host Message Server ["NSPOPNMS"] PATH = /opt/CSCOcb/bin/cwbstarttp ARGUMENTS = cwbhci_server MYDOMAIN TYPE = QUEUED-BROADCAST TIMEOUT = 60 USERID = root GROUP = sys #SNA Host Command Server ["NSPOPNCS"] PATH = /opt/CSCOcb/bin/cwbstarttp ARGUMENTS = cwbhcmd_server MYDOMAIN TYPE = QUEUED-BROADCAST TIMEOUT = 60 USERID = root GROUP = sys

This sample sna_tps file defines two transaction programs:

In the file, each TP name is enclosed in quotation marks and then in brackets, as shown below:

["NSPOPNMS"] ["NSPOPNCS"]

For each TP, code the following entries:

Configuring PARALLEL Mode on HP-UX

After you create the sna_tps file, you then configure SNAplus2 for PARALLEL processing mode.

Step 1 At the command prompt, enter the xsnapadmin command, as shown below.

    % xsnapadmin

The xsnapadmin window is displayed.

Step 2 In the xsnapadmin window, select Services>APPC>Modes.

Step 3 If the PARALLEL mode is not in the list of defined modes, select Add. The Add Mode window is displayed.

If the PARALLEL mode is already in the list of defined modes, you can exit.

Step 4 In the Add Mode window, enter PARALLEL for the Mode Name, and either accept the defaults or customize the values for your operating environment.

Configuring TCP/IP Connectivity to the Mainframe

This section explains how to configure TCP/IP connectivity between the workstation and the mainframe.

Configuring TCP/IP Port Parameters

If you configure TCP/IP connectivity from the workstation to the mainframe, you must match the SVMF_HCI_AGENT_PORT and SVMF_CMDS_AGENT_PORT parameters of the domain to the TCP Parameter Cards used in the mainframe. (TCP Parameter Cards are documented in the CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View Mainframe Installation Guide.) For example, the workstation parameters for domain "NORTH" should be set as follows in /etc/svopen_config_NORTH:

SVMF_HCI_AGENT_PORT 6104 SVMF_CMDS_AGENT_PORT 6105

The host configuration file should have a TCP card containing the following:

TCP 6104 6105

Sending Nonencrypted Data

The data that is transferred between the mainframe and workstation component is not encrypted. This data transfer is secure if the data is transferred over a private intranet. If the workstation-to-host connection traverses the Internet, or if additional security is desired over the intranet, you can use the "Network Data Encryption with Router Authentication" feature provided with Cisco routers to encrypt the data that flows between the router nearest to the workstation and the router nearest to the host.

For more information on this topic, see the Cisco IOS software Security Configuration Guide.

Configuring Connectivity to Multiple Domains

If you configure TCP/IP connectivity from the same workstation to multiple mainframe domains, each set of SVMF_HCI_AGENT_PORT and SVMF_CMDS_AGENT_PORT parameters for each domain must have corresponding TCP parameter cards in the mainframe. (TCP Parameter Cards are documented in the CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View Mainframe Installation Guide.)

For example, the workstation parameters for domain NORTH should be set as follows in /etc/svopen_config_NORTH:

SVMF_HCI_AGENT_PORT 6104 SVMF_CMDS_AGENT_PORT 6105

The workstation parameters for domain SOUTH should be set as follows in
/etc/svopen_config_SOUTH:

SVMF_HCI_AGENT_PORT 6114 SVMF_CMDS_AGENT_PORT 6115

The host configuration file for the SNA Host component, at each domain's mainframe should have a TCP cards that contain the following lines:

TCP 6104 6105 TCP 6114 6115

You cannot configure LU 6.2 from the same workstation to multiple domains.

Removing Log Files

During installation, messages are recorded in a log file to provide diagnostic information in case a problem arises. To remove the log file, perform these commands when you are satisfied that installation of the software is complete.


Note Do not use the rm *.log command to remove the log files because the directory might contain other applications' log files that should not be removed.
# rm /tmp/cwb_install.log # rm /opt/CSCOcb/install/cwb_install.log

Applying Licenses After Installation

If you choose not to apply your CiscoWorks Blue license information during installation, you can apply it later as described in this section.

You can get one of two licenses for the CiscoWorks Blue applications. You can get a license to run the Maps applications and a license to use the SNA View web pages. The license that you obtain determines which CiscoWorks Blue applications you and your users can run. If you license both Maps and SNA View, you can use all the applications.

The license information is kept in the /opt/CSCOcb/etc/license.dat file. When you obtain a license from Cisco Systems, type the license information into the /opt/CSCOcb/etc/license.dat file.

To apply the license information, use the following procedure:

Step 1 Start a text editor and open the /opt/CSCOcb/etc/license.dat file.

Step 2 Type the license number over the XXXXXXXXXXXX field in the appropriate FEATURE string for Maps or SNA View.

        FEATURE CWBlueMaps MAPSNAVD 2.0 permanent uncounted XXXXXXXXXXXX HOSTID=ANY FEATURE CWBlueSNAView MAPSNAVD 2.0 permanent uncounted XXXXXXXXXXXX HOSTID=ANY

Step 3 Save the file and exit the text editor.

Step 4 Stop and restart the web daemon using the following commands:

    cwb stop cwbsnamapsd cwb start cwbsnamapsd

Configuring CiscoWorks Blue after Installation

You can configure the CiscoWorks Blue applications after installation using the cwb config command.

Step 1 Enter the following commands:

    # cd /opt/CSCOcb/bin # ./cwb config

Step 2 Make your responses to the configuration prompts just as described in the "Configuring CiscoWorks Blue Maps and SNA View" section.

    # rm /tmp/cwb_sybase_deinstall.log # rm /tmp/cwb_syb_deinstall

Modifying Color Schemes for the Maps Motif Applications

After installation, you can modify the color scheme of the Maps Motif applications by copying the Color.schemename file in the /opt/CSCOcb/Xdefaults directory to the file named /opt/CSCOcb/Xdefaults/Color.

Here is an example that shows how to copy the Color.Rembrandt file as Color:

# cd /opt/CSCOcb/Xdefaults # cp Color.Rembrandt Color

Running the Maps Applications with a Sample User

After installation is complete, the installation process creates a sample user with the username cwblue. The username cwblue is created without a password. To start a Maps application from the command line, you can do one of the following:

# su - cwblue

Then you can start one of the Maps Motif applications using the cwb start command.


Note You can start the server processes only as the root user.
