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.
