Installing the EM from a Remote CD–ROM Drive

To install the EM software on a system that does not have its own CD–ROM drive, proceed as follows:

Tip EM installation is significantly faster when Cisco EMF is not initialized. Before beginning the installation process, you can determine if Cisco EMF is initialized. For additional information, see the “Checking the Status of the EM” section on page 5-2.If Cisco EMF is initialized, you can choose to exit the application accordingly. For more details, see the “Stopping a User Session” section on page 5-4.

Step 1 Insert the EM CD–ROM into the CD–ROM drive of the remote host.

Step 2 Log in as a root user on the remote host.

Step 3 Verify if the Volume Manager is running by entering the following:

/usr/bin/ps -ef grep vold

If the Volume Manager is running, a message similar to the following displays:

root 591 1 0 Feb 26 ? 0 :01 /usr/sbin/vold

Or, if the Volume Manager is not running, start the Volume Manager by entering the following:

/etc/rc2.d/S92volmgt start

Step 4 Export the CD–ROM device to the remote host:

a.If the NFS–related daemons are not already running, start them by entering the following:

/usr/lib/nfs/nfsd 8

/usr/lib/nfs/mountd

b.Share the mount point from the remote host by entering the following:

share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0

c.Verify that the remote host has made the CD–ROM drive accessible by entering the following:

share

The listing which displays includes the /cdrom mount point.

Step 5 Mount the remote CD–ROM on the local host (where the EM will be installed):

a.Create a mount point if none exists already by entering the following:

mkdir /mnt/cdfiles

b.Mount the remote directory, by entering the following:

mount -r remote-host:/cdrom/cdrom0 /mnt/cdfiles

Replace remote-hostwith the host name of the remote device.

The contents of the CD–ROM should now be visible under the /mnt/cdfiles mount point.

Step 6 Navigate to the mount directory by entering the following:

cd /mnt/cdfiles

To continue the installation, proceed to Step 3 in the following section.
