Chapter 1 Installation Overview and Planning

Installation Checklist

This checklist summarizes the tasks required for an initial installation of Cisco MNM. The procedures

for completing each task are provided in the following chapter.

We recommend that you print out the checklist and use it during the installation. Perform the tasks in

sequence unless otherwise noted.

Before You Begin

Note Read the release notes. If information there differs from what is presented here, use

the information in the release notes.

Determine Your Hardware Requirements, as described in this chapter.

___ Task 1: Gather Installation Software and Required Information.

___ Task 2: Ensure That Network Devices Have the Correct Software.

___ Task 3: Plan and Execute Hard Drive Partitioning.

___ Task 4: Ensure That the Sun Solaris 10 Operating System Is Installed.

___ Task 5: Make System Configuration Modifications.

___ Task 6: Obtain a Cisco EMF License.

___ Task 7: Install CiscoView 6.1.8 on a Solaris 10 Operating System. This task is required only

if you want to manage Cisco ITP-Ls or LAN switches from Cisco MNM, which uses the

CiscoView server as the management interface.

CiscoView now ships as part of LMS 3.1 with MGC Node Manager. Only the CiscoView part

of LMS is provided. To obtain licenses for other LMS features, order LMS 3.1 from the

Cisco.com website.

Cisco MNM Release 2.8(1) includes CiscoView for Solaris 10 only. CiscoView for Solaris 8

is not provided with the Cisco MNM media kit. However, previous CiscoView versions

shipped with previous Cisco MNM media kits can be re-used. New Cisco MNM customers

should be using Solaris 10 for best long-term satisfaction and full CiscoView support. New

Cisco MNM customers who only use Solaris 8 operating systems must obtain CiscoView for

Solaris 8 separately, possibly by purchasing the appropriate LMS 2.5.1 package.

___ Task 8: Install Cisco EMF 3.2.

___ Task 9: Install Cisco MNM Release 2.8(1) and Verify the Installation.

Note If you want to install other element managers to run co-resident with Cisco MNM,

install them now.

___ Task 10: Install the CiscoView Security Module (if you are using CiscoView).

___ Task 11: Set Up the X Terminal Workstations for Remote Access. The CiscoView Security

module restricts non-MNM users from accessing the CiscoView Web client. If you want to be

able to access the CiscoView external web browser, do not install this module.

___ Task 12. Synchronize Time.

___ Task 13: Configure Network Devices to Forward Alarms. This task, which must be completed

before Cisco MNM can collect alarm information from network devices, is covered in Chapter

2 in the “Configuring Network Devices for Management” section of the Cisco Media Gateway

Controller Node Manager User Guide, Release 2.8(1).
