Chapter 2 Installing Cisco MNM
Performing a New Installation of Cisco MNM
Setting Up IP and Remote User Access Files
After you have installed Solaris and added all hard drives, you need to edit files on the Management server that contain data for IP networking and remote user access. See Table
Table
File | Modification |
|
|
/etc/defaultrouter | Add the host name and IP address of the default |
| gateway router that provides network access |
| between remote users, network devices, and the |
| standalone system or the Management server. |
|
|
/etc/default/login | Add a # symbol at the front of the line that reads, |
| “CONSOLE = /dev/console” to comment out the |
| line. If you do not comment out this line, users |
| cannot log in to the machine remotely. |
|
|
/etc/default/login | Add the login accounts for all users accessing the |
| server by Telnet. |
|
|
/etc/hosts | Add the Presentation server’s host information. |

DNS Configurations
Use these steps to modify DNS configurations:
Step 1 Ask your IT administrator if DNS should be used. If yes, perform Steps 2 and 3. If no, perform Steps 4 and 5.
Step 2 If DNS should be used, the IT administrator must configure the hostname of your machine on the DNS server.
Step 3 Add the valid DNS server and domain name in /etc/resolv.conf.
Step 4 If DNS should not be used, delete the /etc/resolve.conf file if it exists.
Step 5 Verify that the host’s entry in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file looks exactly like the following line: hosts: files
Note If you change how DNS is configured after Cisco EMF is installed, you must uninstall and reinstall Cisco EMF. For more information on DNS configurations, see the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/element_manager_system/3.2_service_pack_7/installatio n/guide/3_2p7adm.pdf
Task 6: Obtain a Cisco EMF License
To start Cisco EMF, you must have a valid license key file available. In a distributed configuration, the license key is required on the Management server.
To obtain a required permanent license key file, do the following:
