2. Introduction and Overview

2-1. Introduction to ConsoleWorks

ConsoleWorks is an application built to monitor console port text or SYSLOG messages and to directly manage

any device supporting console port connections. It runs on OpenVMS, Unix and NT/2000 platforms. In addi-

tion, ConsoleWorks can manage devices indirectly by using script-initiated management applications running

on the ConsoleWorks host.

ConsoleWorks accomplishes this management with three major components:

•a standard web browser (or a command line user interface)

•a specialized web server, and

•a host connected via cable to the device’s serial console port (direct management) or by network

(indirect management).

Other than the original installation and some preliminary configurations, most ConsoleWorks operations are

managed and configured using a standard web browser.

ConsoleWorks' flexibility provides the capability:

•to manage any device allowing management from a console port from any workstation on the net-

work connected to the ConsoleWorks host,

•to manage hosts on a network remotely, either via the internet or a dialup network,

•for a ConsoleWorks server to use host-based utilities to contact a person based on event driven criteria,

and

•to organize managed devices into logical groupings.

♦note: The V1.5-0 ConsoleWorks server for the Windows NT/2000 platform supports one server invocation. Fu-

ture releases will provide the capability for multiple invocations on one server. Each ConsoleWorks

invocation is a separate entity. Two concurrently running invocations do not share resources

(profiles, users or console ports).

ConsoleWorks Windows NT/2000 server requires a system running Windows NT 4.0 with at least Service Pack 3 or

Windows 2000. ConsoleWorks also requires a TCP/IP protocol stack.

The V1.5-0 ConsoleWorks Product Kit contains the files required for installing the following ConsoleWorks com-

ponents:

1. ConsoleWorks Web Server, and

2. ConsoleWorks public domain scan and event definitions.

This guide describes how to install ConsoleWorks on a Windows NT/2000 host.

♦note: ConsoleWorks requires a valid license to operate.

2-2. Overview of the ConsoleWorks Installation Process

It is strongly recommended that installers design and plan their implementation of a ConsoleWorks installation.

ConsoleWorks components require configuration that proceeds much more smoothly when an installation

plan is followed. Suggestions and recommendations can be found in the Installation Concepts section of this

chapter.

ConsoleWorks installs in two stages.

1) The first stage of the installation includes:

•downloading ConsoleWorks from the internet or mounting the CD,

•installing ConsoleWorks from the distribution kit,

and optionally,

•adding ConsoleWorks to the system startup,

•editing templates to customize event and user templates, and

•importing existing Users, Consoles, Scans, Events and/or Databases.

♦note: Technically, ConsoleWorks has created an invocation after this stage of installation is completed.

However, the invocation has no configured Ports, Profiles, Users, or Events. These components must

be configured to make ConsoleWorks useful.

2) The second stage of installation uses a web browser to add/delete/configure items such as:

•accounts,

•consoles,

•profiles,

•scans,

•events, and

•actions.

2-3. Installation Terms

The following terms are provided as reference. It is recommended these terms be studied in conjunction with

the next section in this document: Installation Concepts.

Agent

If the device being managed has Windows NT/2000 as its operating system, that Windows NT or Windows

2000 system requires an agent to gather and transmit its events since Windows does not have a serial con-

sole.

Alpha

A host running an Alpha processor as its primary CPU.

Refers to a Compact Disc.

Console

Console refers to a representation created and configured within ConsoleWorks, corresponding to a man-

aged device. The console may be physically attached to a device console port or it may be mapped to

Syslog events. Privileges are read, write, acknowledge and control.

ConsoleWorks Root Directory

The base directory on the ConsoleWorks server system in which all ConsoleWorks directories reside. On

Windows NT/2000, this directory is C:\Program Files\TECSys Development, Inc\ConsoleWorks Server\.

Device Console Port

A Device Console Port is a serial port on a device that is used to manage that device.

Default Files

Default Files are a basic set of files created by ConsoleWorks installation kits when ConsoleWorks is first in-

stalled. Those files are subsequently used to make invocation directory trees. Each invocation has its own

directory tree based from the ConsoleWorks root directory.

Display

Display refers to a particular Window or Splash Screen displayed during a step in the installation. Screen,

Window and Display are used interchangeably in this guide.

Distribution Kit or Package

A Distribution Kit or Package is a file or files that enable a person to install the ConsoleWorks application.

Each operating system (Windows NT/200 OpenVMS, Tru64, Linux, HP UX and Solaris) uses a unique distribu-

tion kit.

Events

Events are conditions occurring on devices which cause the devices to post status messages to their con-

sole ports or onto the network with Syslog. ConsoleWorks scans console text and Syslog messages for infor-

mation and to use as triggers to initiate actions.

Installer

An Installer is the person installing the ConsoleWorks application and configuring the invocations and pro-

files. The installer is required to have Administrator access privileges.

Intel

A host running an Intel processor as its primary CPU.

Invocation

An Invocation is a copy of the ConsoleWorks application running on the host. Each invocation is an appli-

cation/web server hybrid that allows remote management of devices. Each invocation uses a private set

of consoles, profiles, and user accounts.

♦note: Each invocation is required to have a unique name since two invocations using the same invoca-

tion name cannot operate concurrently on the same host system.

Linux

A host running Redhat Linux 6.0 (or later) as its operating system.

PCM

POLYCENTER Console Manager in this document refers to Computer Associates’ Unicenter Console Man-

agement for OpenVMS which includes technologies formerly available as: CommandIT Enterprise Edition,

Unicenter TNG for OpenVMS Console Manager, POLYCENTER Console Manager

Product Authorization Key (PAK)

ConsoleWorks licenses are composed of ConsoleWorks Product Authorization Keys (PAK). The Base PAK

includes five connections. Extra connections can also be added. Additional features such as Telnet and

Syslog capabilities can be added with additional PAKs.

Profile

Profile refers to a set of privileges to consoles and/or ConsoleWorks server administration.

Some aspects of a profile are:

•a profile may contain some or all of the privileges available on a console port,

•multiple users may have the same profile,

•multiple profiles can provide privileges to the same console port(s), and

•a user may have access to one or more profiles, but may use only one profile at a time.

In addition, profiles are used to access ConsoleWorks invocation management as well. ConsoleWorks

management has the ability to read, write, control and delete console ports, profiles and user accounts.

Scans

A scan is a collection of events, other scans or a combination of the two. As a result, a scan could contain

only events, only other scans or both scans and events.

Screen

Screen refers to a particular Window or Splash Screen displayed during a step in the installation. Screen,

Window and Display are used interchangeably in this guide.

Solaris

A host running SUN Solaris 7.0 (or later) as its operating system.

SPARC

A host running a SUN SPARC processor as its primary CPU.

TCP/IP or Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol port

The Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol port(s) each host controls. Each invocation is assigned

a specific TCP/IP port to use.

User Account

User account refers to the access a person receives when logging into ConsoleWorks. A user's access to a

console port and to ConsoleWorks management is defined by what profiles the user is given permission to

use.

♦note: Users may have access to more than one profiles, but may only use one profile at a time.

VMS

A host running Compaq OpenVMS V7.2 (or later) as its operating system

Web Browser

Commonly used Web Browsers such as Netscape Navigator 4.7 or Internet Explorer 5.0 (or later) web

browsers are required to complete the configuration of the installed elements.

Window

Window refers to a particular Window or Splash Screen displayed during a step in the installation. Screen,

Window and Display are used interchangeably in this guide.

2-4. Installation Concepts

The following describe the relationships between some of the functional components used by ConsoleWorks.

Understanding the following concepts will:

•assist in designing an installation,

•prepare the installer for the installation and configuration processes, and

•reduce the need for large scale configuration changes and installation redesigns after installation.

Installation Phases

Pre-Installation

The period prior to Installation where the installer collects required software and verifies the host system

meets the requirements for ConsoleWorks installation and operation.

Installation

This phase includes the steps involving installing the ConsoleWorks

application on the target host, setting up a basic invocation, add-

ing ConsoleWorks to the system startup and selectively adding pre-

packaged event definitions.

ConsoleWorks invocations are highly configurable. During the in-

stallation phase the installer is presented opportunities to edit files

that will be used globally by each invocation, such as event tem-

plate files. Most of these changes can also be made later.
