Chapter 3 Preparing to Install Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.1
Before You Begin Installation
If you want to install from a local hard drive, you must copy the contents from the DVD to the local
hard drive. Ensure that you copy the entire contents from the DVD to the hard drive.
You must preserve the timestamp when you copy the contents from the DVD to the hard drive.
To preserve all the attributes including timestamp:
a. Change the present working directory to the directory to which the DVD is mounted using the
command:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0
where cdrom/cdrom0 is the directory to which the DVD is mounted.
b. Create a directory where you want to copy the contents of the disk by entering:
mkdir /opt/copydisk
Make sure that this directory has enough space to hold the entire contents of the disk.
c. Enter:
tar cpf - . | (cd /opt/copydisk && tar -xpf -)
This command preserves all attributes including the timestamp.
• You must restart your system after you install LMS 4.1.
Installation Notes (For Windows Only)
• You can install LMS 4.1 on a system with Terminal Services enabled in Remote Administration
mode. However, installation of LMS 4.1 on a system with Terminal Services enabled in Application
mode is not supported.
If you have enabled Terminal Server in Application mode, disable the Terminal Server, reboot the
system, and start the installation again. See Terminal Server Support for Windows Server.
• If Internet Information Services (IIS) is detected on your system and if you have continued the
installation with IIS services, you cannot use the port number 443 for HTTPS. Instead, you must use
the port numbers ranging from 1026 to 65535 for HTTPS to avoid this conflict.
• If you are running any virus scanner while installing LMS 4.1, the installation might take longer to
complete.
We recommend that you disable the virus scan software on your system. You can restart it after all
installations are completed.
• You must disable Windows Defender on servers running Windows 2008 and reboot before installing
LMS 4.1. The installer will not copy the database to the appropriate location if you do not disable
Windows Defender.
• Check the Primary and Active regional settings before installation. They have to be set either as US
English or Japanese. Other options are not supported by LMS 4.1.
You can set the Active regional settings in Control Panel > Regional and Language Options >
Regional Options.
• Ensure that the Cisco Prime Windows Server has either the US English or Japanese version of
Operating System installed. Otherwise, you must re-install the Operating System with one of the
supported versions before you install Cisco Prime LMS.
• You must restart your system after you install LMS 4.1 to avoid any system instability on a Windows
Operating System.
