Installing the OPS Manager server
To install the OPS Manager server, you must complete the
following tasks:
; Install the server platform.
; Connect server to TCP/IP LAN.
; Power up the server platform.
; Install the required supporting software on the server.
; Configure OPS Manager server.
; Load the OPS Manager software.
; Program the FTP user account and password.
; Configure the FTP and WWW services.
; Connect the network elements to the LAN.
;
Install the Java Plug-in.
; Copy the Applet file to each client station (set up trusting).
; Configure Windows not to reuse browser windows.
;
Assign serial ports to VT100™ access and pagers.
; Enable FTP access (Windows 2000 only).
;
Start an OPS Manager session.
; Configure the network elements.
; Load and distribute network element software.
Note: Before installingOPSManager, verify that yourWindowsTMPor TEMPsystemvariables
have been defined to an absolute path (for example, C:\WINDOWS\TEMP or
C:\WINDOWS\TMP). If these variables are set to a relative path (for example, \TEMP or \TMP),
installation problems may occur. To check these settings, please refer to your Windows
operating system documentation.
Note: OPS Manager release 6.9 and later supports Java 1.4.2_02 which no longer requires
distribution of an identitydb.obj file as trusting is now accomplished through the plugin.
Note: To function properly, OPS Manager client and server software must be the same version.
