Installation Overview and Planning

Revised: March 11, 2011, OL-18332-04

This chapter provides overview and planning information for installation of the Cisco Media Gateway

Controller (MGC) Node Manager (MNM). Chapter 2 provides detailed installation procedures.

Note In Cisco MNM Release 2.8(1), the Cisco Voice Services Provisioning Tool (VSPT) is packaged with

Cisco MNM.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

• Installation Overview, page 1-1

• Determine Your Hardware Requirements, page 1-2

• Installation Checklist, page 1-5

Installation Overview

Successful network management using Cisco MNM begins with a well planned and carefully executed

installation. Network element management involves many interdependent factors, including:

• The correct Sun server for your network size

• The correct software release and patch levels on managed devices

• The correct installation of Cisco Element Management Framework (EMF), the foundation software

for Cisco MNM

• Performing installation tasks in the required order, so that required items are in place

To organize the installation process, use the Installation Checklist, page 1-5, to plan and execute your

installation. Read through the checklist and check off each task as it is completed.

Who Should Install Cisco MNM?

Installing Cisco MNM involves setting up hard drives, and checking and modifying system files, tasks

that are best performed by a system administrator with good knowledge of the Solaris operating system.

Chapter 1 Installation Overview and Planning

Determine Your Hardware Requirements

The hardware required and the way Cisco MNM is installed depend on the size of the network you are

managing and the amount of data you collect. Use this section to determine your hardware requirements

and software configurations.

Cisco Element Management Framework (Cisco EMF) and Cisco MNM consist of server and client

software. You can manager all small, medium, and most large networks from a single server, using the

Sun T5220 server which combines the client and server software. The multicore, multithread

architecture of the Sun T5220 servers works well with the Virtual Network Computing (VNC)

technology. It gives each VNC server a processor thread, and keeps the X-terminal traffic off the

network. The combination of the Sun T5220 server and VNC for Cisco MNM provides excellent

response time, even when your access is over WAN network connections.

Here is a breakdown of the client and server roles:

Server Software

• Network management, including management of databases that contain network information, store

alarms, and performance data

• GUI applications, with user interaction, when Cisco MNM is installed on a standalone server

Client Software

• GUI applications, with which users interact.

The Cisco EMF and Cisco MNM software run on a separate machine, or on machines other than the

Cisco MGC host. In a small network, server and client software might reside on a single machine (a

standalone configuration). In larger networks, the software is installed on two or more machines in the

following distributed configuration:

• One machine, known as the management server, contains the server software (including the

ObjectStore database management software in the Cisco EMF) and client software.

• One machine, known as the presentation server, contains the client software only. In some large

networks, more than one Presentation server might be required.

In either configuration, users typically access Cisco MNM from X terminal workstations that run the

Client software through a Telnet session. In the distributed configuration, the X terminal workstations

connect directly to the Presentation server to run the client software.

See the standalone and distributed configurations illustrated in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1 Standalone and Distributed Configurations

Note The management server is sometimes called the database server. The presentation server is sometimes

called the client, GUI, or application server. To avoid confusion, this document uses management server

and presentation server consistently, and these terms denote the machines in a distributed configuration,

not the software that resides on them.

The Cisco MNM client simultaneously supports up to ten X terminal users or VNC users. The exact

number supported in a given installation depends on your processing resources, and the network size.

The following configurations are supported:

• Cisco MNM and Cisco VSPT installed together on a server (recommended)

Determine Your Hardware Requirements

• Cisco VSPT (only) installed on a Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host machine

• Cisco MNM installed on a server and Cisco VSPT installed on a separate server

Caution Cisco MNM is not supported on a Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host machine.

Hardware Recommendations

Before you find the suitable hardware platform for Cisco MNM, determine your network deployment

size. Table 1-1 gives guidance on how to determine your network deployment size.

You have two options to get the hardware platforms for Cisco MNM:

• Reuse old Sun SPARC-based platforms.

You cannot use Sun OPETRON-based platforms or X86 platforms for Cisco MNM. Old Sun

SPARC-based platforms, Sun Fire 240 and Sun Netra240, were fully tested with Cisco MNM. Other

old Sun SPARC-based platforms might be interoperable.

• Order new hardware platforms.

Table 1-2 describes Cisco MNM hardware recommendations for various network sizes.

Note The Cisco MNM host machine requires the minimum number of drives indicated in Table 1-2. These are

recommendations to aid you in planning. The total amount of disk space required depends on many

factors, such as the amount of alarm and performance data collected.
