Chapter 1 Installation Overview and Planning
Determine Your Hardware Requirements
•Cisco VSPT (only) installed on a Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host machine
•Cisco MNM installed on a network management server and Cisco VSPT installed on a separate server
Caution Cisco MNM is not supported on a Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host machine.

Note Disk drive requirements are based on the number of drives. The Cisco MNM host machine requires the minimum number of drives indicated in Table
Disk Drives and Database Storage
In a medium or large network, using multiple disk drives to store databases helps alleviate I/O bottlenecks and improves software performance. If you are using multiple disk drives for database storage, or you expect to generate large database files, use raw partitions, as described in the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/element_manager_system/3.2_service_pack_7/installatio n/guide/3_2p7adm.pdf
Note If you are using Unix File System (UFS) partitions, installing more than one drive for database storage does not improve performance because the databases cannot span multiple partitions.
