Passport 8100 Series Edge Switch, Passport 8600 Series Routing Switch, Passport 1000 Series Routing Switch, BayStack 450 and BayStack 310 Series Switch Passport Device Management Software Version 3.1.0.0 Installing the DM/VM Management Software (Unix) =============================================== Minimum System Requirements: ============================ - SPARC workstation running the Solaris 2.5.x (or higher) Operating System - HP workstation running the HP/UX 10.20 Operating System - AIX workstation running the AIX 4.1(or higher) Operating System - 32 MB DRAM - For Solaris OS, 12 MB space on hard disk, 4 MB available in a temporary directory and 8 MB free in the directory where you wish the DM/VM management software to be installed. - For HP-UX OS,18MB space on hard disk,4 MB available in a temporary directory and 14 MB free in the directory where you wish the DM/VM management software to be installed. - For AIX OS, 18MB space on hard disk, 4 MB available in a temporary directory and 14 MB free in the directory where you wish the DM/VM management software to be installed. Getting Management Software from the Web: ========================================= The DM/VM Management software is available on the Nortel Networks support World Wide Web site at: http://support.baynetworks.com/software/routingswitches/accelar_8000 .html If you obtained the software via the Nortel Networks Web site, you will need the following two files: install_dmvm dm_3.1.0.0.tar.Z These files can be found under the "Script for installing DM Solaris, HP/UX & AIX using .Z file(v3.1.0)" and "Device Manager Solaris & HP/UX & AIX v3.1.0 (compressed)" links, respectively. Installation Instructions for Solaris, HP/UX and AIX Platforms: =============================================================== Place these two files "dm_3.1.0.0.tar.Z" and "install_dmvm" into a temporary directory on your Solaris, HP/UX, or AIX workstation. Use the following steps to prepare the software for installation: 1. Log in as "root" or 'su' to the root account. 2. Change directory (cd) into the directory where you placed the two files. 3. Execute the following command: # chmod 755 ./install_dmvm Proceed to the "Running the Install Script" instructions below. Running the Install Script: =========================== If installing from the CD-ROM, these instructions assume that you have mounted the cdrom drive onto the "/cdrom" directory. For instructions on mounting the cdrom drive, refer to your system's operating system user guide. 1. Create a directory on the host's hard-disk where you want the DM/VM software to reside. The location can be anywhere the user chooses. Typically, third party software is installed under the "/opt" directory. Depending on how your system is configured, you may need to be the root user to have write permission to the "/opt" directory. If you do not have root access, you can install the software under "/usr/local/NortelFS". % mkdir /opt/NortelFS 2. If installing from the CD-ROM, change directory into the "dm-unix" directory on the CD-ROM. If you obtained the compressed software file from the World Wide Web, change directory into the directory where you placed the file. For example: % cd /cdrom/cdrom0/dm-unix (Solaris) % cd /cdrom/dm-unix (HP-UX and AIX) -or- % cd /var/tmp/dmvm 3. Execute the "install_dmvm" script by providing the version of the software you want to install and target directory where you have decided to install the DM/VM software. install_dmvm filename = name of Device Manager file,omitting the ".tar.Z" extension target_directory = name of the directory where DM is to be installed (Directory created in step 1) For example: % ./install_dmvm dm_3.1.0.0 /opt/NortelFS dm_3.1.0.0 is the name of the dm tar file, i.e., dm_3.1.0.0.tar.Z /opt/NortelFS is the target directory where dm_3.1.0.0 will be installed. 4. After installation, the software user's environment must be set correctly. Assuming you installed the software into the /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0 directory, set the DMPATH variable using one of the following instructions: a. If you use the C-shell, add the following to your .cshrc: % setenv DMPATH /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0 b. If you use the Bourne shell or Korn shell, add the following to your .profile: $ DMPATH=/opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0; export DMPATH NOTE: If you installed into a different directory, substitute the directory where you installed the software for /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0. After modifying the appropriate file, you must source the file for the changes to take effect. Manual Installation Procedure: ============================== If you have difficulty installing the DM/VM Management Software using the installation script provided, you can use the following procedure to manually install the software: 1. Insert the Passport Series 8000 Software 3.1.0 (Windows98/95/NT, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX) CD into the CD-ROM drive. 2. Log in as the root user or su to root and mount the CD onto the /cdrom directory. If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, please refer to the System's Administration guide specific to your operating system. a. For Solaris systems, change directory to /cdrom/cdrom0/dm-unix. b. For HP-UX systems, change directory to /cdrom/dm-unix. c. For AIX systems, change directory to /cdrom/dm-unix. 3. Copy the software into /tmp with the following command: # cp dm_3.1.0.0.tar.Z /tmp/dm_3.1.0.0.tar.Z 4. Change directory into the directory where you wish the DM/VM Management Software to be installed. The software will automatically be loaded into a subdirectory called "dm_3.1.0.0". For example, if you wished to install the software into the /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0 directory, change directory to /opt/NortelFS. 5. Uncompress and untar the software with the following command: # zcat /tmp/dm_3.1.0.0.tar.Z | tar xvf - 6. Once installed, change directory into the dm_3.1.0.0 directory and execute: # ./standalone_setup 7. After installation, the DM/VM software user's environment must be set correctly. Assuming you installed the software into the /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0 directory, set the DMPATH variable using one of the following instructions: a. If you use the C-shell, add the following to your .cshrc: % setenv DMPATH /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0 b. If you use the Bourne shell or Korn shell, add the following to your .profile: $ DMPATH=/opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0; export DMPATH NOTE: If you installed into a different directory, substitute the directory where you installed the software for /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0. After modifying the appropriate file, you must source the file for the changes to take effect. 8. For launching Passport Device Manager(dm) to manage an operational switch: % dm a.b.c.d where a.b.c.d is the IP address of the Passport device. Installing DM/VM into HP OpenView (Optional): ============================================= Prerequisites: - HP OpenView must be installed. - DM/VM Management Software must be installed. - You must be logged on as root. To integrate Passport Management Software into HP OpenView: 1. Go to the directory where the DM/VM Management Software is installed. # cd /opt/NortelFS/dm_3.1.0.0 2. As the root user, start Device Manager and point it to an operational Passport or BayStack-310 or Bay Stack-450 device (e.g., "dm " where a.b.c.d is the IP address of the Passport device or the name of the device if your network is running a name service). # dm 132.32.1.5 NOTE: You *MUST* launch 'dm' against an Passport or BayStack-450 device or Baystack-310 device to activate the appropriate menus for step 3. 3. From the Device Manager, click on Help from menu bar and select the "Run HP OpenView Install on Console" option. This will copy the Passport, BayStack-450 and BayStack-310 specific icons and MIB files to the standard HP Openview software directories. When this task is completed, a list of commands will be shown on the console. Manually execute the commands as root to complete the installation process. Following is a brief description of each command: ------------------------------------------------------------ Command | What it does ... ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. ovw -fields | Update the fields database. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2. ovstop netmon | Stop network monitor to allow the | database to update. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3. ovtopofix | Update topology database. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4. ovstart netmon | Restart network monitor. ------------------------------------------------------------ 5. ovw | Start HP OpenView. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4. After HP OpenView is started, load the Passport and/or BayStack-450 and/or BayStack-310 specific MIBs by selecting the "Options->Load MIBs" option. Load the files located in the directories: "/var/opt/OV/share/snmp_mibs/Vendor/BayNetworks/Passport" and/or "/var/opt/OV/share/snmp_mibs/Vendor/BayNetworks/BayStack". ********************************************************************** Contact Information: Nortel Networks Technical Solutions Center Telephone Fax Number Billerica, MA 800-2LANWAN 978-916-3514 Santa Clara, CA 800-2LANWAN 408-495-1188 Valbonne, France 33-4-92-96-69-68 33-4-92-96-69-98 Sydney, Australia 61-2-9927-8800 61-2-9927-8811 Tokyo, Japan 81-3-5402-0180 81-3-5402-0173 **********************************************************************
