C H A P T E R 1 Installation Overview and Planning This chapter provides the overview and planning information you need to carry out a successful installation of the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Node Manager Version 2.5(2) (Cisco MGC Node Manager). Specific procedures for installing the Cisco MGC Node Manager are provided in Chapter 2. Note In previous releases the Voice Services Provisioning Tool (VSPT) was packaged together and known as Cisco MGC Node Manager Provisioning Tool.
Chapter 1 Installation Overview and Planning Determine Your Hardware Requirements Determine Your Hardware Requirements The hardware you need and the way you install Cisco MGC Node Manager depend on the size of the network you are managing and the amount of data you collect. This section is designed to help you determine your hardware requirements and software configuration.
Chapter 1 Installation Overview and Planning Determine Your Hardware Requirements Figure 1-1 Standalone and Distributed Configurations Note The management server is sometimes called the Database server. The presentation server is sometimes called the client, GUI, or Application server. To avoid confusion, this document uses Management server and Presentation server consistently, and these terms describe the machines in a distributed configuration, not the software that resides on them.
Chapter 1 Installation Overview and Planning Determine Your Hardware Requirements • Cisco MGC Node Manager installed on a network management server and Cisco VSPT installed on a separate server. Other element managers may be installed on the network management server. Note Cisco MGC Node Manager should not be installed on a Cisco PGW 2200 host machine. Caution Hardware Requirements The Cisco MGC hardware requirements for various network sizes are described in Table 1-1.
