Step 8
If there are no defined administrators, create an administrator by providing the username and password. You have to
confirm the password entered.
If you are installing a regional, continue; else go to
Step 10
.
Step 9
Enter the filename, as an absolute path, for your base license (see
License Files, on page 9
).
Ensure that you use the absolute path and not a relative path for your base license as there are chances that there
might be changes to the default path from what you started the install with.
Note
Entering the filename during installation is optional. However, if you do not enter the filename now, you must enter it
when you first log into the web UI or CLI.
If you install Cisco Prime Network Registrar using a Remote Desktop Connection to the Windows Server, you
will not be able to enter the license information during the installation. Cisco Prime Network Registrar will
reject the licenses as invalid. You must therefore skip the license information step, and add the license after the
installation completes, using either the web UI or CLI. See
Starting Cisco Prime Network Registrar, on page
31
for details.
Note
Step 10
Register the local to the regional by providing the regional IPv4 or IPv6 address and SCP port.
After the local is registered to the regional, it can provide those services for which the licenses are present in the regional.
If you face any problem synchronizing the regional cluster to the local cluster after registration, unset and set
the password on the regional cluster, and sync again. This can happen due to time skew of more than five minutes
between local and regional clusters.
Note
Include a network time service in your configuration to avoid time differences between the local and regional clusters.
This method ensures that the aggregated data at the regional server appears consistently. The maximum allowable time
drift between the regional and local clusters is five minutes. If the time skew exceeds five minutes, then the installation
process will not be able to correctly register the server with the regional. In this case, unset and set the password on the
regional cluster, and sync again.
Step 11
After you register local to the regional, you can select the required services from the licensed services.
If a service is not selected, upgrade process will use the existing configuration. To remove a service wait until
the upgrade process is completed.
Note
Step 12
Choose whether to archive the existing binaries and database in case this installation does not succeed. The default and
recommended choice is
Yes
or
y
:
If you choose to archive the files, specify the archive directory. The default directories are:
•
Windows
—
Local cluster (
C:\NetworkRegistrar\Local.sav
); Regional cluster (
C:\NetworkRegistrar\Regional.sav
).
Click
Next
.
•
Linux
—
Local cluster (
/opt/nwreg2/local.sav
); Regional cluster (
/opt/nwreg2/regional.sav
)
Step 13
Choose the appropriate installation type: server and client (the default), or client-only:
•
Windows
—
Choose
Both server and client (default)
or
Client only
. Click
Next.
The Select Port window appears.
•
Linux
—
Entering
1
installs the server and client (the default), or
2
installs the client only.
Choose
Client only
in a situation where you want the client software running on a different machine than the
protocol servers. Be aware that you must then set up a connection to the protocol servers from the client.
