New and Changed Information

The following table describes information that has been added or changed since the initial release of the Cisco Transport Manager Release 7.2 Installation Guide.

Table 1 New and Changed Information in This Guide 

Date Released	Revision	Location
January 17, 2007	Added this caution: Caution You must use the CTM installation CDs for installation. If you manually copy the installer to a storage disk, the installation could fail because of missing permissions in the installation scripts.	Page 2-1
	Modified some of the values in the table "Recommended Specifications for the CTM Server Installation—CRS-1 and XR 12000."	Table 1-2
February 1, 2007	Added this requirement for the CTM client on Windows: Microsoft Windows XP and Windows 2003 patch number KB928388 is available for the revised Daylight Saving Time in 2007.	Table 1-11
February 6, 2007	Noted that you can add new modules or upgrade the CTM network configuration size whether you are installing CTM R7.2 as a new installation or upgrading to CTM R7.2 from an earlier release.	3.5  Upgrading the CTM Network Configuration Size, page 3-18 3.6  Adding New Modules, page 3-18
February 21, 2007	Added this caution before entering the init 6 command: Caution After you click the Done button in the installation GUI, the background processes continue to run for several minutes. Before rebooting, you must wait for the reboot message on the terminal where you started the installation. Depending on the server performance, the background processes can take up to 15 minutes before the reboot message appears. Rebooting the server before this message appears will break CTM functionalities.	3.1.1  Installing the CTM R7.2 Server and Upgrading the Database, page 3-2 3.2.2  Installing the CTM R7.2 Server on the CTM Server Workstation, page 3-12
March 1, 2007	Noted that CTM is not validated against Network File System (NFS)-mounted drives. Their use might require more CPU, memory, and disk space than is specified in the Systems Requirements chapter.	Chapter 1, "System Requirements"
March 5, 2007	Noted that Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed automatically for the CTM server and CTM GateWay/CORBA, and bundled with the CTM client.	Chapter 1, "System Requirements"
April 4, 2007	Added a procedure that explains how to use the SSH client from SSH Communications Security or Tectia with MGX NEs.	5.1.4  Enabling the SSH Remote Access CLI for MGX, page 5-4
May 7, 2007	Added this step when installing the 9.2.0.6 patch for Oracle9i: After the patch is installed, read the Oracle patch README.html file to carry out the post-installation steps and check any caveats associated with this patch.	2.1.1.4  Installing the 9.2.0.6 Patch for Oracle9i, page 2-8
June 13, 2007	Removed this text: The disk space values are for new installations of CTM R7.2 only. If you are migrating from a previous release, you will need this amount of disk space in addition to the disk space used by the previous release. The partition sizes are for new installations of CTM R7.2 only. If you are migrating from a previous release, each partition will require this amount of disk space in addition to the size of the partitions used by the previous release.	Chapter 1, "System Requirements"
August 9, 2007	Noted that the Cisco 7600 module is installed only if the /etc/resolv.conf file is present.	2.2.2  Updating the System Parameters on the CTM Database Workstation, page 2-29 2.2.3  Installing the CTM R7.2 Database, page 2-31 2.2.5  Updating the System Parameters on the CTM Server Workstation, page 2-41
September 2, 2008	Added steps to install the latest CTM R7.0 service pack and to run the pre- and postmigration scripts.	3.1.1  Installing the CTM R7.2 Server and Upgrading the Database, page 3-2 3.2.1  Upgrading the Database on the CTM Database Workstation, page 3-8

Introduction

This guide explains how to install Cisco Transport Manager (CTM) Release 7.2 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 7.2, CTM supports the Cisco 7600 Series Edge Router (Cisco 7600); the Cisco Optical Networking System (ONS) family of optical NEs; the Cisco Carrier Routing System 1 (CRS-1), which includes the Cisco Catalyst 6509; the Cisco XR 12000; the Cisco MGX 8880 Voice Gateway and MGX 8850/8830 Voice-Enabled Multiservice Switch; and the Cisco MDS 9000 Multilayer Director and Fabric Switch.

---

Note See the Release Notes for Cisco Transport Manager Release 7.2 for the NE software versions that are supported in CTM R7.2. The CTM release notes are available on the product CD and online at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/opticsw/ps2204/tsd_products_support_series_home.html.

---

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 R7.2 or upgrading from an earlier release. See Chapter 1, "System Requirements."

2. For a new CTM R7.2 server installation, see Table 3 and Chapter 2, "Installing the CTM R7.2 Server and Oracle9i."

3. When upgrading to the CTM R7.2 server from an earlier installation, see Table 3 and Chapter 3, "Upgrading to CTM R7.2 from an Earlier Release."

4. To install CTM GateWay/CORBA, see Chapter 4, "Installing CTM GateWay/CORBA R7.2." 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 R7.2.

---

5. To install the CTM R7.2 client and Cisco Edge Craft (optional), see Chapter 5, "Installing the CTM R7.2 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.
