Introduction

This guide explains how to install Cisco Transport Manager (CTM) Release 8.0 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), routers, and switches. 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 8.0, CTM supports the Cisco 7600 Series Edge Router (Cisco 7600); the Cisco Optical Networking System (ONS) family of optical NEs; the Cisco Catalyst 6509; the Cisco Carrier Routing System 1 (CRS-1); 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 8.0 for the NE software versions that are supported in CTM R8.0. The CTM release notes are available on the product CD and online at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/opticsw/ps2204/prod_release_notes_list.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 R8.0 or upgrading from an earlier release. See Chapter 1, "System Requirements."

2. For a new CTM R8.0 server installation, see Table 3 and Chapter 2, "Installing the CTM R8.0 Server and Oracle9i."

3. When upgrading to the CTM R8.0 server from an earlier installation, see Table 3 and Chapter 3, "Upgrading to CTM R8.0 from an Earlier Release."

4. To install CTM GateWay/CORBA, see Chapter 4, "Installing CTM GateWay/CORBA R8.0." 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 R8.0.

---

5. To install the CTM R8.0 client and Cisco Edge Craft (optional), see Chapter 5, "Installing the CTM R8.0 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.
