Chapter 2      Installing Cisco MNM

Performing a New Installation of Cisco MNM

Note

You can specify a separate disk to gain better performance. 

Step 8

Choose the hostname, and then press Enter. 

Note

If there is more than one hostnames, choose the correct hostname. If the correct hostname is not 
listed in the menu, press Enter. Then enter the desired hostname and press Enter.

Step 9

Press Enter to verify that the setup information is correct. 

Step 10

Enter y to accept the default DNS domain and press Enter. 

Note

To change the default DNS domain, enter n, press Enter, specify the DNS domain, and press 
Enter again.

Step 11

Enter y and press Enter to run the FlexLM daemon, which is provided with Cisco EMF. 

Note

To use an existing FlexLM daemon running on your system, enter n and press Enter. 

Step 12

Press Enter if you have a valid license file available on your network. If you do not have a valid license 
file, enter n. 

Note

To obtain a license, see the 

“Task 6: Obtain a Cisco EMF License” section on page 2-6

.

Note

If you do not have a valid license file, you can still continue with the installation. The installation process 
continues, but you cannot start the Cisco EMF Server until a valid license key is provided and the 
<CEMF_ROOT>/bin/cemf license command is run to update the license information. 

Step 13

Enter the full name, including the path, of the license file and press Enter.

The installation process begins and takes several minutes. When the installation is complete, a message 
indicates that the Cisco EMF Server Package installation completed satisfactorily.

This completes the Cisco EMF installation procedure on the management server.

If you are using a distributed configuration (with the management server and the presentation server), 
continue installing Cisco EMF on the presentation server by following the steps in the 

“Installing Cisco 

EMF 3.2 on the Management Server” section on page 2-8

. Otherwise, continue the installation by 

performing the procedure described in the 

“Installing Cisco EMF Service Packs” section on page 2-10

.

Installing Cisco EMF 3.2 on the Presentation Server

Cisco EMF must be installed on the management server first, and the Cisco EMF server must be started 
before a presentation client is installed.

Step 1

Log in as the root user on the presentation server where the Cisco EMF client is to be installed.
