Cisco Systems 100/200/300/400 Installing or Removing Disk Drives, Interface Switch Port Mbps

Chapter 3 Installing the Content Delivery Engines

Installing the CDEs

Specifically, the physical connections consist of the following:

Interface	Switch Port Mbps
Vault cache	Must be 1000
Vault ingest	Can be 100/1000, but 1000 is recommended
Vault management	Can be 100/1000
Streamer cache	Must be 1000
Streamer stream	Must be 1000
Streamer management	Can be 100/1000
CDSM management	Can be 100/1000

ISV System

In a system that uses ISVs that are collocated, the Ethernet cables are used to make the following physical connections:

•ISV to switch

•CDSM to switch

Specifically, the physical connections consist of the following:

Interface	Switch Port Mbps
ISV ingest	Can be 100/1000, but 1000 is recommended
ISV management	Can be 100/1000
ISV stream	Must be 1000
CDSM management	Can be 100/1000

Installing or Removing Disk Drives

The disk drives for the CDEs are shipped separately. You must install the disk drives before using the CDEs. A minimum of two disks are required for basic software installation (needed for the RAID-1 set). If the CDE is used to store content (configured as an SE), more than two disks are needed.

For maintenance or other reasons, it may become necessary to remove a disk drive from the chassis. The disk drives on the CDE100 are monitored using Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) and statistics are displayed through the Administrative Interface, as well as sent to the CDSM. For more information about S.M.A.R.T., see the Cisco Internet Streamer CDS 2.0-2.1 Software Configuration Guide.

The CDE100 contains 4 disk drives (see Figure 3-6), the CDE200 contains 12 disk drives (see Figure 3-7), the CDE300 contains 16 disk drives (see Figure 3-8), and the CDE400 contains 24 disk drives (see Figure 3-9).
