For the manual installation of CWM Release 9.2 to complete successfully, you must have:

Solaris 2.6 operating system installed on your workstation

When you plan on using HP OpenView to display network topologies and log traps, you must have HP OpenView 5.01 installed on your workstation prior to installing CWM 9.2. To fully benefit from the CWM 9.2 feature set, we strongly recommend you install HP OpenView 5.01. Note, patch PSOV_02091 is required. This patch is provided on the CWM 9.2 CD and is installed by the CWM installation program when the patch is not already installed on the workstation.

Access to the following product packages on the CWM Release 9.2 CD:

CSCOconf - Configuration files

CSCOinf - Informix OnLine 7.2 files

CSCOsv - CWM 9.2 for HP OpenView files

Access to Wingz 2.5.1 (optional - only when you plan on using the CWM Reports application). This application is available on a separate CD included in your CWM 9.2 product package. Note, you must install Wingz files in the /usr/users/Wingz directory.

Access to CiscoView 4.2 (optional - only when you plan on using the CWM Equipment Management functionality for BPX/IGX release 9.1 or for AXIS 4.0/4.19.1.04). This application is available on a separate CD included in your CWM 9.2 product package.
