Release Notes for Cisco Media Gateway Manager, Release 2.0.
Note For additional information about installing Media Gateway Controller (MGC) EMS packages, refer to Chapter 8, “Media Gateway Controllers” .
Installing Cisco EMF Server Software
Install the Cisco EMF server software according to the procedures described in the
Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide.
Configuring Raw Partitions
In the RAW File System (RAWFS), databases can be placed in a raw partition. If you have a large deployment, the databases should be placed in a raw partition. This improves Cisco EMF performance and allows databases to grow larger than 2 GB.
For more detailed information about configuring raw partitions for the Cisco EMF database, refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide, Chapter 2, “Cisco EMF Configuration Options”.
Backing up the Cisco EMF Database
Cisco EMF backup and restore functions allow you to recover from hardware or software failures with minimal loss of management data. You can also use the backup and restore functions to move databases from one Cisco EMF installation to another, for example, to facilitate hardware upgrades.
Cisco EMF backups should be performed for the following circumstances:
•Before upgrading Cisco EMF
•Before you install a new element manager, such as Cisco MGM
•Before uninstalling an element manager
•Before installing an upgrade for installed Cisco EMF element manager packages
•Before installing a patch for installed Cisco EMF or element manager packages
•Before making major changes to the network data model (such as deletion or untested changes)
•Before making major changes to the network hardware
•On a daily basis
For detailed Cisco EMF backup and restore instructions, refer to Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide, Chapter, 10, “Cisco EMF Database Backup and Restore”.
