About Installing Support Tools

Installing Support Tools 1.0(1) consists of:

A.Installing the Support Tools Server to a central server with access to your ICM system. If desired, you can install the Support Tools on multiple servers to provide redundancy. Note, however, that data is not shared between these separate installations.

B.Installing the Support Tools Node on each ICM node to be managed through Support Tools. Note that the Node Agent is automatically included in the Support Tools Server installation; a separate installation of the node on this machine is not required.

To install Support Tools, follow the sequence of steps in the checklist below. Each of these steps is described in greater detail in following sections. Cisco recommends you review this list before proceeding with the installation.

Note: Before proceeding with installation, also be sure to review the Support Tools Release Notes for any updates pertaining to Support Tools installation. The Release Notes are available at the top level of the Support Tools CD (st_10_release_notes.htm) and at http://www.cisco.com.

Caution: In some instances, the Support Tools Server and Node installations may require a reboot to complete. For this reason, it is strongly suggested that you perform the installation during a regular maintenance period when machines are not in production mode.
