Chapter 3 Preparing to Install Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.1
Before You Begin Installation
The destination folder should not contain the following special characters:
– On Solaris and Soft Appliance:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + | } { " : [ ] ; ' ? < > , . ` = ~
– On Windows:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + | } { " [ ] ; ' / ? < > , . ` =
• If errors occur during installation, check the installation log file:
– On Solaris and Soft Appliance, check the installation log file
/var/tmp/Cisco_Prime_install_YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.log for LMS 4.1 installation
Where YYYYMMDD denotes the year, month and date of installation and hhmmss denotes the
hours, minutes and seconds of installation.
For example:
/var/tmp/Cisco_Prime_install_20110721_182205.log
– On Windows, check the installation log in the root directory on the drive where the operating
system is installed. Each installation creates a new log file.
For example, for LMS 4.1, the installation log file is:
C:\Cisco_Prime_install_YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.log, where YYYYMMDD denotes the year,
month and date of installation and hhmmss denotes the hours, minutes and seconds of
installation.
For example:
C:\Cisco_Prime_install_20100721_182205.log
• You can press Ctrl-C (on Solaris, and not on Soft Appliance) or click Cancel (on Windows) at any
time to end the installation. However, any changes to your system will not be undone.
For example, if any new files were installed or if they were any changes to the system files, you need
to manually clean up the installation directories.
Note We recommend that you do not terminate the installation while it is running.
• If HP OpenView is running on your system, installation will take more time. Disable HP OpenView
to run a faster installation.
• To ensure that you have the latest device support and bug fixes for LMS you must install the latest
Device Package updates.
For download locations, see Supported Devices.
Installation Notes (For Solaris Only)
• On Solaris, if you select an installation directory other than the default, the /opt/CSCOpx directory
is created as a link to the directory you selected.
Warning If you remove this link after installation, the product will malfunction.
• We recommend that you run the installation from a local DVD or a local hard drive to avoid errors
that may result from the network being slow or busy.
