Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 2.1 Instruções Importantes De Segurança

If the Kudzu window prompts you to 
configure the network interfaces, 
choose the BOOTP/DHCP option.

The installation program creates the 
root user ID. Cisco IPICS enforces the 
use of strong passwords for the root 
user ID (and for all user IDs).

The following caveats apply to the 
Cisco IPICS server software installation:

The Cisco IPICS installation requires a 
minimum of 2 GB of RAM. To check 
the size of the server RAM, enter the 
free command from the console.

Place the installation CD in the drive. 
Then, log in by using the root user ID 
and mount the contents of the CD onto 
the server by entering the 
mount /mnt/cdrom command. For 
detailed information, refer to the 

.

Enter the following command to start 
the installation program:
[root]# bash 
<name-of-installer-file>.run

To receive a license for your Cisco IPICS 
solution, perform the following actions:

You use the MAC address of the eth0 
interface to obtain the license. To 
obtain this MAC address, enter the 
following command:
ifconfig eth0

Obtain a Cisco IPICS server license by 
accessing the following URL and using 
the Product Authorization Key (PAK) 
that came with your product package:

To complete the software installation, open 
a supported browser and log in to the 
Administration Console by using the ipics 
user ID and password. Then, upload and 
apply the license file(s) to the server.

Be aware of the following guidelines and 
tips to help you troubleshoot Cisco IPICS 
problems:

If you cannot log in to the Administration 
Console, perform the following actions: 

Log in to the server by using the root 
user ID and enter the following 
command to check the status of the 
tomcat service:
service ipics_tomcat status
If the tomcat service is not running, 
enter the service ipics_tomcat restart 
command to restart it. 

Enter the following command to check 
the status of the database server:
onstat - 
If the shared memory of the database 
server is not initialized, enter the
service ipics_db start command to start 
it. 

Enter the following command from 
another host on the network to verify 
network connectivity: 
ping <server-ip-address> 
If you cannot ping the server, 
troubleshoot the network connectivity 
with your network administrator.

If the license does not upload successfully, 
perform the following actions:

Make sure that the license file has a file 
extension of .lic, and has no spaces or 
special characters in the file name.

Make sure that the MAC address for 
the license file matches the MAC 
address of the eth0 interface of the 
Cisco IPICS server. The license manager 
does not run if the MAC addresses do 
not match.

Check the status of the license manager 
by logging in with the root user ID and 
entering the following command:
service ipics_lm status 
If the license manager is not running, 
restart it by entering the
service ipics_lm restart command.

If you have a time-bound license, be aware 
of the following caveats:

Do not change the date of your server to 
a date that is earlier than the date that 
is stamped on the license file.

Your time-bound license will remain 
active for a maximum of 24 hours after 
its expiration date.
