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.
