About This Guide
The
B-STDX, CBX, and GX Network Management Station Installation Guide
provides
software installation instructions for setting up your UNIX Network Management
Station (NMS) platform. This task-oriented guide describes, step-by-step, the process
for installing the required software for configuring Lucent switches.
This guide supports the following NMS software release:
•
NavisCore
™
, Release 09.00.00.00
What You Need to Know
As a reader of this guide, you should be familiar with UNIX and HP OpenView. You
should also know about relational databases to properly maintain Sybase, which is
used by NavisCore.
This guide assumes that you have already installed the Lucent switch hardware. See
the
“Related Documents”
section (
page xvii
) for a list of documents that describe
these and other tasks.
Be sure to read the Software Release Notice (SRN) that accompanies each product.
The SRN contains the most current feature information and requirements.
Note –
This guide is intended to be used for fresh installations of NMS software. It
should not be used for upgrading existing networks. This guide provides basic NMS
installation guidelines but does not provide network/configuration-specific
information that will be necessary for production environments. With the introduction
of Sybase 12.5.0.1, using default settings during the Sybase installation is no longer an
appropriate path and will result in degradation of performance on the Sybase server.
Contact the Technical Support organization for specific tuning information that is
needed based upon network configuration and usage. See
