Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco IPICS Server Software

Preparing to Use Cisco IPICS

If the same PMC user logs in to multiple PMC sessions from different PMC client machines, that user will consume multiple licenses (one for each PMC session).

Note If all Cisco IPICS licenses have been used, PMC user access to the system will be interrupted. Make sure that you are aware of the current status of PMC licenses and that additional user licenses are purchased and installed immediately if this situation occurs.

Generating the Cisco IPICS PMC Application Installer

Cisco IPICS allows a user to download the PMC application installer from the Administration Console to a PMC client machine. After the user installs the PMC software, Cisco IPICS manages the automatic download of updates to the application. The Manage PMC window of the Administration Console allows a Cisco IPICS system administrator to upload version updates to the Cisco IPICS server and manage the distribution of the current and previous PMC versions to PMC users.

Before a user can access the installer from the Cisco IPICS server, you must first use the Administration Console to generate the installer. This procedure places the application onto the server, so that the PMC users can easily download the PMC application. When you generate the PMC installer, the Cisco IPICS server also writes the IP address of the server into the installer. Then, after the user downloads and installs the software, the PMC application can locate the server to log in.

To generate a new PMC installer for your system, perform the following procedure:

Procedure

Step 1 Open a browser window on your PC.

Step 2 In the Address field, enter either the static IP address or the DNS name that you established for your Cisco IPCIS server in the “Installing the Cisco Linux Operating System” section on page 2-3:

http://<static IP address or DNS name>
