September 22, 2005	Added this caution: Caution After you click the Done button in the install GUI, background processes continue to run for several minutes. You must wait for the reboot message on the terminal where you started the installation before rebooting.	2.1.3  Installing the CTM R6.0 Server and Database, page 13 2.2.6  Installing the CTM 6.0 Server on the CTM Server Workstation, page 40
March 1, 2006	Modified the Total with PM Collection field for large networks from 4385 GB to 438 GB.	Table 1-4 on page 5
	Added the following commands that you should run before upgrading from CTM R5.0.2.85.1 or R5.0.2.90.1 to CTM R6.0: sqlplus ctmanager/ctm123! SQL> ALTER TABLE ONS15454_327_NE_Table DROP COLUMN NEUSERNAME; SQL> ALTER TABLE ONS15454_327_NE_Table DROP COLUMN NEPASSWD; SQL> commit;	3.1.5  Installing the CTM R6.0 Server and Upgrading the Database, page 8 3.2.10  Installing the CTM R6.0 Server on the CTM Server Workstation, page 27
March 9, 2006	Added this caution: Caution When upgrading from CTM R5.0.x to CTM R6.0, the migration fails when the network partition ID is greater than 9. This is a known issue that is tracked as CSCsd51643. Refer to the Release Notes for Cisco Transport Manager Release 6.0 for the steps to work around this problem.	Upgrading to CTM R6.0 from an Earlier Release, page 1

Introduction

This guide explains how to install Cisco Transport Manager (CTM) Release 6.0 and how to upgrade from previous releases.

CTM is an advanced management system that provides functionality at the element and network management levels for Cisco optical network elements (NEs). CTM supports fault, configuration, performance, and security management functional areas. CTM also serves as a foundation for integration into a larger overall Operations Support System (OSS) environment by providing northbound gateway interfaces to higher layer management systems.

In Release 6.0, CTM's expanded charter includes not only management of the Cisco Optical Networking System (ONS) family of optical NEs, but also additional routing and voice platforms. CTM R6.0 supports the Cisco Carrier Routing System 1 (CRS-1), which includes the Cisco Catalyst 6509; the Cisco XR 12000; the Cisco MGX 8880 Media Gateway and voice-enabled MGX 8850/8830 Enabled Multiservice Switches; and the Cisco MDS 9000 Multilayer Director and Fabric Switch.

---

Note Refer to the Release Notes for Cisco Transport Manager Release 6.0 for the NE software versions that are supported in CTM R6.0. The CTM release notes are available on the product CD and online at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/rtrmgmt/optnet/ctm/index.htm.

---

---

Caution Before updating the software image on an NE, check the CTM release notes to verify whether the NE software version is supported in this CTM release.

Installation and Upgrade Overview

The following figure describes the typical CTM installation and upgrade workflow and the various components that can be installed in addition to CTM.

Figure 1 CTM Installation and Upgrade Workflow

1. Check your system requirements before installing CTM R6.0 or upgrading from an earlier release. See Chapter 1, "System Requirements."

2. For a new CTM R6.0 server installation, see Table 3 and Chapter 2, "Installing the CTM R6.0 Server and Oracle9i."

3. When upgrading to the CTM R6.0 server from an earlier installation, see Table 3 and Chapter 3, "Upgrading to CTM R6.0 from an Earlier Release." You can upgrade your CTM server installation to R6.0 directly from CTM R4.7.x, CTM R5.0.x, or Cisco Media Gateway Manager (MGM) R5.0.

---

Note If you are upgrading to CTM R6.0 from a release prior to CTM R4.7.x, you must first upgrade to CTM R4.7.x or CTM R5.0.x. Refer to Cisco Transport Manager Release 4.7 Installation Guide or Cisco Transport Manager Release 5.0 Installation Guide for the exact installation procedure. After you install CTM R4.7.x, CTM R5.0.x, or Cisco MGM R5.0, you can upgrade to CTM R6.0.

---

4. To install CTM GateWay/CORBA, see Chapter 4, "Installing CTM GateWay/CORBA R6.0." The CTM GateWay/CORBA option is a CORBA-based interface that provides higher-layer management systems with information for all supported NEs. You can install CTM GateWay/CORBA when you install the CTM server or you can install it separately after the CTM server installation.

---

Note You must purchase a separate license for CTM GateWay/CORBA R6.0.

---

5. To install the CTM R6.0 client and Cisco Edge Craft (optional), see Chapter 5, "Installing the CTM R6.0 Client and Cisco Edge Craft." Cisco Edge Craft is the local craft application used to manage ONS 15302 and ONS 15305 NEs. You can install the CTM client manually or automatically. Cisco Edge Craft cannot be upgraded automatically even though it is bundled with the CTM client.

6. To install CiscoView (an optional application used by CTM to configure and monitor ONS 155xx NEs), see Chapter 6, "Installing and Setting Up CiscoView." CiscoView must be installed after the CTM server installation.
