Chapter 1 Overview

Server and Client Installation

Server and Client Installation

The EM can be deployed in a distributed manner to utilize the power of multiple machines. Two types of deployment are available: server and client. Server and client installations, however, cannot run on the same workstation. You can install either a server or a client on one machine, but not both.

Note that the EM installation type, server or client, must match that of the installed Cisco EMF software.

Note For information regarding Cisco EMF server and client deployment, see the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/sw/netmgtsw/ps829/products_installation_and_configur ation_guide_book09186a00800ffd0d.html

Server and client installations are described in the following sections:

Server Installation

Every EM deployment must have a server installed. Processes on the server keep track of the current state of the network model, user access, and events.

Client Installation

EM deployment allows for client installations on separate workstations. The client installations run EM applications that access objects on the server. A client installation contains only those parts of the EM software necessary to run a user session. The user session communicates with the server when required to retrieve management information. When management information is retrieved, all window updates are processed locally on the client machine, freeing resources on the manager to process network information.

The client installation copies the client software onto the local machine; therefore, there is no need to mount files across the network. Network traffic occurs only when the client requires more data from the server.

The server installation includes all files that run a user session on the server system. The EM can therefore be installed on a single system with server and client functionality, and can be upgraded by adding separate client machines later as necessary.
