For optimal viewing of the CSA MC UI, you should set your display to a resolution of 1024x768 or higher.

On a system where CSA MC has never been installed, the CSA MC setup program first installs Microsoft SQL Server Express and the required .NET environment. If the CSA MC installation detects any other database type attached to an existing installation of Microsoft SQL Server Express, the installation will abort. This database configuration is not supported.

If you are planning to deploy no more than 1,000 agents, the shipped version of Microsoft SQL Server Express should be adequate. For a larger deployment, you also have the option of installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 instead of using the Microsoft SQL Server Express database that is provided. Note that of you are using SQL Server 2005 or 2000, it must be licensed separately and it must be installed

on the system before you begin the CSA MC installation. See Chapter 3, “Installing the Management Center for Cisco Security Agentsfor

details.

We also recommend that you format the disk to which you are installing CSA MC as NTFS. FAT32 limits all file sizes to 4 GB.
