Caution
Upgrades are released frequently. To ensure that you have the most recent software patch(es), check the
website for the latest bulletins and upgrades.
Task 3: Plan and Execute Hard Drive Partitioning
By default, the Cisco EMF software is installed with standard UNIX file system (UFS) partitions
(partitions with readable directory structures). However, we recommend using RAW File System
(RAWFS) partitions (partitions without readable directory structures) for the database drives for larger
networks, because RAWFS partitions offer the following advantages over UFS partitions:
•
The capability to span multiple hard disks
•
The option of having databases over 2 GB in size
For more information, see the “Hard Drive Partitioning” section of the Cisco Element Management
Framework Installation and Administration Guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/element_manager_system/3.2_service_pack_7/installatio
n/guide/3_2p7adm.pdf
Table 2-2
gives you hard drive partitioning recommendations, and they are for NFS partitions. For the
recommendations of raw partitions, see the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation And
Administration Guide.
Task 4: Ensure That the Sun Solaris 10 Operating System Is Installed
Cisco MNM machines must have the Sun Solaris 10 operating system with CDE 1.3 installed. If the Sun
Solaris 8 or 10 operating system is not already installed, install it according to instructions provided by
the manufacturer.
Also install the latest J2SE Solaris 10 patch cluster, available at this URL:

Hard Drive Partitioning Recommendations
Small to Medium-Sized Deployments
1
1.
A small to medium-sized deployment applies to a network environment with no more than eight active/standby pairs of Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitches.
The recommendations for the small to medium size deployment are based on Sun Sparc-based platforms with a single hard drive, and RAM size ranging
from 2 GB to 8 GB.
Medium to Large-Sized Deployments
2
2.
A medium to large-sized deployment is supported by Sun Netra T5220 series or Sun Netra T5200 series platforms.
