Cisco Systems 1 Maximum NAMs CPUs, Disk Space Required, Cisco PVM Installation and Uninstallation

Page 52

Cisco PVM supports a maximum of 200 NAM–2s, or the equivalent of 100 NAM–2s plus 300 NM–NAMs. The hardware requirements for Cisco PVM installations differ depending on the number of NAMs the system is intended to support.

The requirements are broken down into three configurations:

•Small – used in configurations of up to 5 NAM–2s

•Medium – used in configurations of up to 50 NM–NAMs + 50 NAM–2s

•Large – used in configurations of up to 200 NAM–2s or 300 NM–NAMs + 100 NAM–2s

For configurations that fall in between, it is preferable to use the sizing figures in the next highest range. For example, if you have 20 NAM-2’s that you want to monitor, it is preferable to select the Medium configuration figures. Determine the exact numbers depending on your knowledge of your network.

Cisco PVM Installation and Uninstallation

This section explains the steps necessary to install Cisco PVM. Cisco PVM requires that a certain amount of disk space be available in specific directories for the installation to proceed.

The following directories or partitions are required:

•Oracle data partition – default: /u01

•Install directory – default: /opt/CSCOpvm

•Oracle install directory – default: /opt/oracle

Note:

1.Cisco PVM’s install procedure asks the user to specify the Install directory and the Oracle data partition during the installation process. The Oracle install directory is fixed and cannot be changed.

The individual partition’s disk space requirements are as follows:

PVM and Oracle install directory (/opt) > 3.5 GB of free disk space

Oracle data partition (/u01) > 70 GB of free disk space (Depends on the number of NAMs you want to support in PVM)

The installation will not proceed if the disk space requirements are not met. If installing on a network directory, it is necessary to ensure that the correct permissions are set for the user on the network directory.
