Chapter 2 Installing Cisco MNM
Upgrading from Previous Cisco MNM Releases
Task 11: Synchronize Time
After installing Cisco MNM, you should synchronize the times configured for the Cisco MGC, Cisco
MNM, and the Billing and Measurements Server (BAMS). To ensure that the Cisco MNM records are
correct, these components should all be configured to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). For instructions
on setting the time for these components, see both the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software
Release 9 Installation and Configuration Guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/vcallcon/ps2027/prod_installation_guides_list.html
and the Cisco Billing and Measurements Server User’s Guide for your BAMS server at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps522/products_user_guide_list.html.
Task 12: Configure Network Devices to Forward Alarms
The final task in readying Cisco MNM for network management is to configure the devices in the
network so that they send alarm information to Cisco MNM. For more information, see Chapter 3 in the
Cisco Media Gateway Controller Node Manager User Guide at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/netmgtsw/ps1912/products_user_guide_list.html
Upgrading from Previous Cisco MNM Releases
When you upgrade from a previous release of Cisco MNM, the installation updates the content but leaves
your existing data intact (for example, network data and user access settings). You do not need to
uninstall your previous release before upgrading.
If you have installed CiscoView, you may also want to upgrade it. When upgrading CiscoView, upgrade
according to the LMS 3.1 installation guide. CiscoView 6.1.8 requires more disk space than the previous
release, and if the space is insufficient, CiscoView 6.1.8 can be installed on another machine. If you
install CiscoView 6.1.8 on another machine, use the following command to reconfigure CiscoView
server's IP address: # <CEMF_ROOT>/bin/cmnmupdateCVip -i <CiscoView_NewServer_IP>.
Although the upgrade option preserves your data, we recommend that you perform a backup before
upgrading, as described in the
“Uninstalling Cisco MNM” section on page 2-22
.
Use the following steps to upgrade from a previous Cisco MNM release:
Step 1
Read the
“Installation Checklist” section on page 1-5
to identify other tasks needed for the upgrade.
Step 2
Have Cisco EMF and Cisco MNM running.
Step 3
Change the working directory using the following command:
%
cd <CEMF_ROOT>/bin
Step 4
Verify that Cisco EMF is running using the following command:
% .
/cemf query
Text similar to the following is displayed:
CEMF Manager 3.2 initialized
Step 5
Change to the root user using the following command:
#
su - root
