Before you install Provisioned QoS Policy Manager (QPM-PRO), ensure that the systems meet the requirements for running QPM-PRO. These sections describe the requirements and procedures for installing QPM-PRO:
 |
Note For information on uninstalling QPM-PRO, see "Uninstalling QPM-PRO." |
Table 2-1 shows the hardware and software requirements for installing QPM-PRO.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 4.5 or higher. Needed to view the online help or QPM-PRO reports. | Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 4.5 or higher. Needed to view the online help or QPM-PRO reports. |
|
Note Partial upgrades are not supported. You cannot upgrade the remote
installations and use them with a former complete installation
version. Similarly, you cannot upgrade the complete installation and
use it with previous versions of remote installations. All QPM-PRO systems that interact must be upgraded together. Databases that were created with previous versions of QPM-PRO can be read by QPM-PRO 2.0 without any special conversion program. Refer to "Working with QoS Databases" for more information. |
You can upgrade a QPM-PRO 1.1 installation without first uninstalling it. Simply follow the instructions in the "Installing the Complete QPM-PRO" section (or the "Installing the Remote QPM-PRO" section for remote installations).
However, before you upgrade your QPM-PRO installations, consider these changes in QPM-PRO 2.0:
The complete Provisioned QoS Policy Manager includes the management interfaces that you use to create and distribute your QoS policies to network devices and the QoS Manager service used to manage and process the QoS database.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of QPM-PRO, exit Policy Manager and Distribution Manager if you are currently running either program. The installation program automatically stops the QoS Manager service.
Step 1 Insert the Provisioned QoS Policy Manager CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
|
Note We do not recommend that you install QPM-PRO from a network CD-ROM drive. |
Step 2 The installation process should start automatically. If it does not, select Start>Run, and enter d:\qpmpro.exe, where d: is the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive. The following screen appears:
Step 3 Select Complete Installation.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of QPM-PRO, the following screen appears:
Click Next to uninstall the old version of QPM-PRO. Your existing databases will be saved and restored at the end of the installation process.
Step 4 Read the Welcome screen and click Next.
Step 5 Choose a destination folder (one is selected by default) and click Next.
Step 6 Select Complete QoS Policy Manager in the Setup Type window and click Next.
Step 7 Enter a Windows NT or Windows 2000 local group name in the Users Group Creation window, or use the default name shown, and click Next.
The QPM-PRO user group is used for authenticating QPM-PRO read-write users. Members of this group can save changes to the QoS database. You can enter the name of an existing group, or have QPM-PRO create a new group. The default user group is QPM_Users.
Step 8 Enter a Windows NT or Windows 2000 local group name in the Guest Group Creation window, or use the default name shown, and click Next. If the group does not exist, you are prompted to create it.
The QPM-PRO guest group is used for authenticating QPM-PRO read-only users. Members of this group can view the QoS database, but they cannot save changes. You can enter the name of an existing group, or have QPM-PRO create a new group. The default guest group is QPM_Guests.
Step 9 Specify or select a program group, if you do not want to use the default name, and click Next.
Step 10 Review your selections in the Start Copying Files screen. If you are satisfied, click Next. If you are not satisfied, click Back until you come to the screen that has selections you want to change.
After you click Next, QPM-PRO is installed on your system. If you are upgrading from a previous version of QPM-PRO, the following screen appears:
Step 11 Click OK.
Step 12 Click Finish to complete the setup.
You can install the remote Provisioned QoS Policy Manager on any machine that has access to QoS Manager (the Windows NT or Windows 2000 service installed with the complete QPM-PRO). This allows you to manage the QoS policies from remote locations, for example, from a laptop.
Determine the host name of the workstation where you installed, or intend to install, the complete QPM-PRO.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of QPM-PRO, exit Policy Manager and Distribution Manager if you are currently running either program.
Step 1 Insert the Provisioned QoS Policy Manager CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
|
Note We do not recommend that you install QPM-PRO from a network CD-ROM drive. |
Step 2 The installation process should start automatically. If it does not, select Start>Run, and enter d:\qpmpro.exe, where d: is the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive. The screen in Figure 2-1 appears.
Step 3 Select Remote Installation.
If you are upgrading from a previous version of QPM-PRO, the screen in Figure 2-2 appears. Click Next to uninstall the previous version. Your existing databases will be saved and restored at the end of the installation process.
Step 4 Read the Welcome screen and click Next.
Step 5 Choose a destination folder (one is selected by default) and click Next. The following screen appears:
Step 6 Enter the host name of the machine that is running the QoS Policy Manager service. This is the machine where you installed, or intend to install, the complete QPM-PRO.
Step 7 Specify or select a program group, if you do not want to use the default name, and click Next.
Step 8 Review your selections on the Start Copying Files screen. If you are satisfied, click Next. If you are not satisfied, click Back until you come to the screen that has selections you want to change.
After you click Next, QPM-PRO is installed on your system. If you are upgrading from a previous version of QPM-PRO, the screen in Figure 2-6 appears. Click OK.
Step 9 Click Finish to complete the setup.
