Extending File System in Soft Appliance
This section contains the information required to extend the logical volume in soft appliance after installation of OVA image.
Note Before extending the file system, check the storage space on VM. Before extending the file system, check the storage space on VM.
To check the file size in VMware, go to Configuration -> Storage -> Properties
Table 6-1 shows the VMware version and storage space details
| | |
|---|---|
| VMware ESXi 4.1.0 | 256 GB |
| VMware ESXi 5.0.0 | 2 TB |
| VMware ESXi 5.1.0 | 2 TB |
To check the used memory before adding new disk/new partition use the following command:
fdisk –l
Output of fdisk –l command in VMware 4.1.0
Disk /dev/sda: 161.0 GB, 161061273600 bytes

/dev/sda3 19454 19580 1020127+ 83 Linux
Here /dev/sda partition used 161.0 GB
Hence, We have remaining 89 GB, so we can extend this by creating a new partition
Note For VMWare 4.1.0, if fdisk shows 256 GB then we cannot extend using this disk as there is no space and new disk need to be created. For VMWare 4.1.0, if fdisk shows 256 GB then we cannot extend using this disk as there is no space and new disk need to be created.
Note For VMWare 5.0.0 and VMWare 5.1.0, if fdisk shows 2 TB then we cannot extend using this disk as there is no space and new disk need to be created. For VMWare 5.0.0 and VMWare 5.1.0, if fdisk shows 2 TB then we cannot extend using this disk as there is no space and new disk need to be created.
Note Add a new hard disk before creating a new partition. Add a new hard disk before creating a new partition.

Installing LMS 4.2 in Silent Mode
Silent installation or unattended installation is supported in the LMS single installer. You can perform only a fresh installation of LMS 4.2 in silent installation mode.
Silent install does not prompt for your inputs. It continues the installation based on your inputs provided in a file. You should save the installation inputs in a file and store the file in the system. See Creating an Answer File and Sample Answer Files for more information.
To install LMS 4.2 in silent mode:
Step 1 Insert the LMS 4.2 DVD.
Note 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. 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.
Installation from local hard drive will be faster than installation from DVD.
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.
Step 2 Navigate to images/disk1 directory at the command prompt.
Step 3 Enter the following commands to install LMS 4.2 in silent mode:
- On Solaris: sh setup.sh -q answer_file_name
- On Windows: setup.exe QUIET answerfile= answer_file_name
where answer_file_name is the full path of the user input file stored on the system.
The installation starts.
Step 4 Restart your system after the installation is complete.
Creating an Answer File
The answer file is an ASCII file that provides the required inputs for quiet installations.
The answer file contains the following name=value pairs:
| | |
| destination | Optional. Allows quiet installation to install into a directory other than NMSROOT . If not specified, installation goes into /opt/CSCOpx on Solaris or c:\Program Files\CSCOpx on Windows. |
| adminPassword | Specifies the login password for the admin user. This is mandatory. |
| secretPassword (Solaris only) | Specifies the login password for the secret user. |
| casuser (Windows Only) | If casuser password does not exist by the time of installation, the framework generates random password for casuser.
In quiet mode, installation attempts to load the casuser password from the answer file. If no casuser password is specified in the answer file, installation attempts random password, and might fail if the random password does not pass the company policy. |
| systemIdentityAccountPassword (Windows only) | Password for the System Identity Account. This is mandatory. |
Sample Answer Files
On Windows:
#--- begin answer file
#--- hash sign (#) is allowed to mark comments

casuser=casuser
destination=C:\PROGRA~2\CSCOpx
adminPassword=admin
#--- end of answer file
On Solaris:

Accessing LMS Server
LMS, by default, uses port number 1741 to access the LMS Server in normal (HTTP) mode and port number 443 to access the server in secure (HTTPS) mode.
To access the server from a client system, enter any one of these URLs in your web browser:
- If SSL is disabled and if you have installed the LMS on the default port, enter:
http:// server_name :1741
- If SSL is enabled, and if you have installed the LMS on the default port, enter:
https:// server_name :443
where server_name is the hostname of the server on which you have installed LMS.
The LMS Login page appears.
You can change the default web server port numbers (for HTTP and HTTPS modes) using the changeport utility. See Administration of Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution 4.2 for more information.
On a Windows system, if you are using HPOV as your third party NMS application, you would require the IIS service to be enabled for HPOV to install and run. The IIS web server runs on SSL port 443, which is the default port for the LMS web server when installing LMS. To avoid a conflict, you should change the SSL port number of the LMS web server from 443 to another port that is available, and that has a number in the range 1026 to 65535, except 6000.
Port number 6000 is reserved by Firefox, if you enter 6000 as the SSL port number, after installation (for all the three operating systems), you will not be able to launch LMS using the Firefox browser. You must ensure that you do not configure port 6000 during installation.
