Chapter 2 Installing Cisco MGC Node Manager
Performing a New Installation of the Cisco MGC Node Manager
Refer to the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Configuration Guide for a
description of raw versus cooked partitions and for instructions for partitioning your hard drives.
Task 4: Ensure That the Sun Solaris 8 Operating System Is Installed
Cisco MGC Node Manager machines should have the Sun Solaris 8 operating system with CDE 1.3
installed. The operating system installation script is provided by the hardware manufacturer.
If the Sun Solaris 8 operating system is not already installed, install it according to instructions provided
by the manufacturer.
Install the latest J2SE Solaris 8 patch cluster, which can be found at the following URL:
http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access
When the Solaris operating system is installed, go to Task 3: Plan and Execute Hard Drive Partitioning.
Note Please check that Solaris 8 is installed on your Sun hardware. Sun hardware is typically shipped with
Solaris 2.7.
Task 5: Obtain a Cisco EMF License
You need a valid license key file available on the system to start Cisco EMF. In a distributed
configuration, the license key is required on the Management server.

Setting Up IP and Remote User Access Information
After you have installed Solaris and added all hard drives, you will need to edit some files on the
Management server that contain data for IP networking and remote user access.
