Installing the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Software Release 9.8 and Higher Releases
Installing on a Fault Tolerant System
Caution To ensure the successful installation of a fault tolerant configuration, you must provision the software
for the active Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host after Step 10 of the “Installing the Cisco Security
Package (CSCOh020)” section on page 3-12, before proceeding to Step 1, below. See the
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch Release 9.8 Provisioning Guide for information about the following:
- Provisioning the active Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host
- Procedures for converting the active Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host to the standby host
Only one active provisioning session is permitted, and provisioning is permitted only on the active
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host.
Exit the provisioning session on the active host and continue to Step 1, below. If the software is not
provisioned after it is installed on the active Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch host, the standby host is not
synchronized with the active host. As a result, a forced switchover might cause the switchover to fail.
To install the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software on a fault-tolerant system (one with two
Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch hosts and Cisco SS7 interfaces), complete the following steps.
Note The MGC_install.log and the MGC_pkgerrors.log are stored in the /var/adm directory.
Step 1 Continuing from Step 10 of the “Installing the Cisco Security Package (CSCOh020)” section on
page 3-12, exit server 1.
Step 2 Log on to server 2 as root and go to the # prompt.
Step 3 Load the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software CD into the server 2 CD-ROM drive.
Step 4 Follow the instructions in Step 3 through Step 12 of the “Installing Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch
Software on a Simplex System” section on page 3-3.
Step 5 Follow the instructions in Step 1 through Step 10 of the “Installing the Cisco Security Package
(CSCOh020)” section on page 3-12.
Step 6 Install the license using the instructions in the “Installing the License File” section on page 3-15.
Step 7 Configure the execution environment parameters and database replication for fault tolerant systems
described in Appendix A, “XECfgParm.dat File Parameters.”
This completes the installation of the Cisco PGW 2200 Softswitch software. Continue to the “Using the
Cisco MGC Environment Configuration Tool” section on page 4-8 to configure groups and users. If you
have questions or need assistance, see the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request”
section on page x.
