For complete information on how to use NCM, refer to the User Guide for Network Compliance Manager, 1.2.
Co-residency Installation Summary
The following is a summary of the steps to enable NCM and LMS co-residency.
Note When you install LMS and NCM, you can install either LMS or NCM first. Steps 3 and 4 can be interchanged.
1. Permanently disable TFTP, Secure Shell Service (SSH), Telnet, and the Web server services registered by external packages like MKS Toolkit and Windows.
a. Permanently disable SSH and Telnet services from external packages like MKS Toolkit. Refer to "Stopping MKS Services"for details.
b. Permanently disable the Windows native Telnet service. Refer to "Stopping the Telnet Service" for details.
2. If Oracle is installed on the server, stop the Oracle HTTP server.
3. Install and configure LMS Common Services:
a. Install LMS Common Services. Refer to the guide Installing CiscoWorks Common Services 1.0 on Windows 2000 for details.
b. Install LMS Resource Manager Essentials (RME). Refer to the Installation and Setup Guide for Resource Manager Essentials for details.
c. Permanently disable the TFTP service registered by LMS Common Services.
d. Temporarily stop the Daemon Manager service registered by LMS Common Services.
e. Temporarily stop the IPM PM server service if the Internet Performance Manager is installed.
4. Install NCM and configure NCM services:
a. Install NCM. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for CiscoWorks Network Compliance Manager for details.
b. Temporarily stop Syslog services registered by NCM.
c. Temporarily stop the Management Engine Service registered by NCM.
5. Configure LMS for co-residency:
a. Edit the registry settings to run the LMS Common Services Syslog service on port 9514. This resolves a Syslog service port conflict between LMS Common Services and NCM.
b. Edit registry settings for the LMS TFTP service to use the NCM TFTP service.
c. Change the LMS apache port to 7443 if Oracle is installed on the same server.
6. Configure NCM for co-residency:
a. Modify the Syslog service registered by NCM to forward all Syslog messages to the LMS Common Service's Syslog server running on port 9514.
b. Edit the NCM HTTP Web Server settings to run on port 9080 instead of the default port 80 to avoid conflicts with the LMS Common Service's Web server or the Oracle Web Server.
c. Edit the NCM HTTPS Web Server settings to run on port 9443 instead of the default port 443 to avoid conflicts with the LMS Common Service's Web server or the Oracle Web Server.
d. Modify the NCM URLs to use the new port settings of 9443 for https and 9080 for http.
e. Edit the NCM RMI settings to run on port 9444 instead of the default port 4444 to avoid conflicts with LMS Common Service's RMI settings.
f. Modify the dcr_export.bat file to allow exporting device details from LMS to NCM.
7. Restart services and establish cross launching.
a. Restart NCM services:
–Start the Syslog service registered by NCM.
–Start the Management Engine Service registered by NCM.
–Modify the NCM reporting link to use the new port setting 9080 for http.
b. Restart LMS services:
–Start the Daemon Manager service registered by LMS Common Services.
–Start the IPM PM server service if the Internet Performance Manager is installed.
Note If IPM is installed on the server, start IPM PM Server only after NCM services are started.
c. Configure NCM and LMS to enable cross launch-based integration.
Table 2-1 lists the port modifications that you must make to avoid port conflicts when enabling NMC and LMS co-residency.
