Chapter 2 Installing CNS NetFlow Collection Engine
Installing on a Solaris or HP-UX Platform
Installing on a Solaris or HP-UX Platform
The procedure for installing CNS NetFlow Collection Engine on Solaris and HP-UX are nearly identical.
The primary difference is in the output written by the platform installation programs (
pkgadd
on Solaris
and
swinstall
on HP-UX.
If you are installing CNS NetFlow Collection Engine for the first time, the installation is basically the
same, but with fewer prompts from the installation script.
Note
During an upgrade installation, existing configuration files and log files are detected and moved to the
directories
NFC_DIR/config/old
and
NFC_DIR/logs/old
, respectively.
To install the CNS NetFlow Collection Engine, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Log into the host as root.
Step 2
Perform one of the following:
a.
When installing from CD-ROM, run
setup.sh
in the CD-ROM base directory.
b.
When downloading the image over the web:
–
Download the zipped distribution file to a directory with at least 200 MB of available space.
–
Unzip and untar the distribution with gzcat and tar:
gzcat <download-file> | tar xf -
The following files are created:
NFC_setup.sh
– Install script
CSCOnfc-<platform>-<version>-<build>.<type> –
Install image. For example
CSCOnfc-solaris- 5.0-2.standard
–
Run the install script specifying the install image as the argument, for example:
./NFC_setup.sh CSCOnfc-solaris-5.0-2.standard
Note
On Solaris, the install image
CSCOnfc-<platform>-<version>- <build>.<type>
is a software
package file in the format recognized by the Solaris install program
pkgadd
. On HP-UX, it is a
directory containing files for the HP-UX install program
swinstall
.
Note
Software can only be installed in the directory
/opt/CSCOnfc
. If some other directory is desired,
create a symbolic link to
/opt/CSCOnfc
before installing the software.
