Task 2: Ensure That Network Devices Have the Correct Software

Cisco MNM interacts with other software that runs on the various components of the Cisco Media Gateway Controller node. The software on the device and the version or patch that is compatible with Cisco MNM need to match to prevent network management problems. See the software requirements for these components in the Cisco MNM 2.8(1) Release Notes at

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/netmgtsw/ps1912/prod_release_notes_list.html

Caution Upgrades are released frequently. To ensure that you have the most recent software patch(es), check the website for the latest bulletins and upgrades.

Task 3: Plan and Execute Hard Drive Partitioning

By default, the Cisco EMF software is installed with standard UFS partitions (partitions with readable directory structures). However, we recommend using RAW File System (RAWFS) partitions (partitions without readable directory structures) for the database drives for larger networks, because RAWFS partitions offer the following advantages over UFS partitions:

The capability to span multiple hard disks

The option of having databases over 2GB in size

For more information, see the “Hard Drive Partitioning” section of 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

Table 2-2gives you hard drive partitioning recommendations.
