Installation procedures are described in the following sections:
Installing the EM involves the following:
1. System requirements—Confirm the proper preinstallation procedures by reviewing the "System Requirements" section.
2. Cisco EMF—Verify that you have the following required Cisco EMF 3.2 server/client software installed before proceeding:
 |
Note For information on installing Cisco EMF and related patches, see the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration and the relevant Cisco Element Management Framework Release Notes. |
|
Note For the exact Cisco EMF software build requirements of the required patches, see the relevant Cisco 10000 Series Manager Release Notes. |
3. Installation—Install the Cisco 10000 Series Manager software according to the instructions in one of the following sections:
"Installing the EM from a Remote CDROM Drive" section
a. Perform configuration tasks on the Cisco 10000 Series routers. For details, see the "Configuring the EM" section.
b. Set trap notifications. For details, see the "Enabling Traps on the EM" section.
c. Enable Configuration Backup/Restore. For details, see the "Setting Up a Workstation as a TFTP Server" section.
To install the EM software on a system that does not have its own CD-ROM drive, proceed as follows:
 |
Tip EM installation is significantly faster when Cisco EMF is not initialized. Before beginning the installation process, you can choose to determine if Cisco EMF is initialized. For additional information, see the "Checking the Status of the EM" section. If Cisco EMF is initialized, you can choose to exit the application accordingly. For further information, see the "Stopping a User Session" section. |
Step 2 Log in as a root user on the remote host.
Step 3 Verify if the Volume Manager is running by entering the following:
If the Volume Manager is running, a message similar to the following displays:
Or, if the Volume Manager is not running, start the Volume Manager by entering the following:
Step 4 Export the CD-ROM device to the remote host:
The listing which displays includes the /cdrom mount point.
Step 5 Mount the remote CD-ROM on the local host (where the EM will be installed):
Replace remote-host with the host name of the remote device.
The contents of the CD-ROM should now be visible under the /mnt/cdfiles mount point. To continue the installation, proceed to Step 3 in the following section.
After you install Cisco EMF (and the required patches) and acquire a valid license, you can install Cisco 10000 Series Manager using the appropriate install script.
|
Note For details on installing Cisco EMF, see the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide. |
The install script can be used for first-time installations as well as upgrades to previously installed versions. Before loading the software, the Cisco 10000 Series Manager install script checks the system for existing packages. If an existing package is found, the script compares the existing version to the version on the CD. If the version on the CD is more recent, the previously installed version is upgraded. If the version on the CD is older than the installed version, no system change occurs. If an existing package is not found, the version on the CD is installed.

Step 2 Perform one of the following, as appropriate:
a. Insert the Cisco 10000 Series Manager CD-ROM and make the CD-ROM area your working directory by entering the following:
(Replace CEMF_ROOT with the name of the directory where Cisco EMF is installed.)
Step 3 Run the install script by entering the following:
The installation script automatically detects what type of Cisco EMF installation exists (server or client) and whether Cisco EMF is initiated or not.
If Cisco EMF is not initialized, the terminal window lists the compatible installation options:
Because the EM installation must match that of Cisco EMF, if the Cisco EMF server is installed, then the EM client install will be incompatible and vice versa. The script hides the incompatible options on the terminal window. Furthermore, the script detects whether Cisco EMF is currently running and hides the invalid option.
The following depicts an example of a terminal window which would display when the Cisco EMF server package exists on a workstation and Cisco EMF is not initialized.
|
Tip Enter ? for help or q to quit. |
Step 4 Choose the appropriate installation option.
The utility determines the package upgrade and install list. For first time EM installations, all COM components and the selected EM component (e.g., C10kMm for server installation or c10kMc for client installation) must be installed. If an earlier version of the EM exists on the workstation, only those packages that are out of date or missing will install. A listing of the redundant packages that will not install displays. Next, the installation option selected displays.
A confirmation prompt for the selected installation parameters appears as follows:
Step 5 Enter the appropriate confirmation at the prompt (yes or no).
The entry of no cancels the installation procedure and returns you to the previous installation terminal window, while yes proceeds with the installation of all components listed.
You cannot select individual components for installation.
As installation of each package takes place, the following displays:
At the completion of the installation, the following displays:
Step 6 When the installation is complete, exit the CD-ROM area as necessary by entering the following:
You can start a user session, if needed, and begin using the installed package. For additional information, see the "Starting a User Session" section.
Configuring the system involves the following steps:
To enable the EM to communicate with the routers, certain configuration tasks must be performed on the router. Until these configuration tasks are completed, the EM cannot contact the routers and no management can begin.
Before you can start using the EM to manage the supported Cisco routers, you must meet the following requirements:
To meet these requirements, perform the following tasks from a console window, as appropriate.
Step 2 If the router does not have a configured management Ethernet port, enter commands as follows:
The Sun machine running the EM should now be able to ping the router.
Step 3 If the router is not SNMP-manageable, enter commands as follows:
Step 4 If the router does not currently accept Telnet sessions, enter commands as follows:
The preceding configuration assumes you have not configured user names in the Cisco IOS software.
EM traps should be enabled so that the router sends traps to the EM server at the appropriate IP address.
To enable traps, proceed as follows:
Step 2 Enter the following:
Step 3 Enter the enable password.
Step 4 Enter the following:
To obtain help when using Cisco IOS commands, enter the command in question followed by a question mark.
Configuring a TFTP server enables the Configuration Backup/Restore to operate. Setting up a workstation as a TFTP server is described in the following sections:
Configuring the EM server as a TFTP server is optional. You can alternatively choose to use a different machine as the TFTP server, or not use the backup/restore functionality at all. If you choose to use another workstation as a TFTP server, make sure that backup files are empty. You also need the appropriate permissions set to allow read and write access. Backup files have the filename C10kMaa.bb.cc.dd, where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address of the router. A backup file is created for the active Cisco router.
When the manager is set up as the TFTP server, the EM ensure that the backup files exist and have the correct permissions.
TFTP enables you to transfer files to and from remote systems. The EM Configuration Backup/Restore window allows you to back up and restore the EM configuration. TFTP transfers the configuration files from a device to your system through the network.
The TFTP daemon must be enabled in order for the EM to upload or download a configuration file. If you are using standard Sun software, verify that the TFTP daemon (tftpd) is enabled as follows:
Step 2 Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file using a text editor (such as vi).
Step 3 Look in the /etc/inetd.conf file for the line that invokes tftpd. When the line is commented out (starts with a pound sign # as in the following example), use a text editor to delete the pound sign.
Step 4 Save the changes in the edited file and exit.
Step 5 Reboot the system.
Step 6 Verify that the TFTP daemon is enabled by entering:
Output similar to the following appears:
If there is no output, tftpd is not enabled. For additional information on TFTP, refer to the UNIX main pages on tftp and tftpd.
The tftpboot directory stores configuration files from the EM managed routers. To create the tftpboot directory, do the following:
Step 2 Modify the permissions by entering the following:
All users accessing the tftpboot directory will have read, write, and execute permissions.
