Upgrading the MWTM
You can upgrade to MWTM 6.0 from the Cisco Signaling Gateway Manager (SGM) 4.1 or from the latest version of MWTM 5.0. You can upgrade on the same machine, or upgrade on different machines. You might want to upgrade using different machines if you are running SGM 4.1 on Solaris 8 or RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0, which are unsupported for MWTM 6.0 (only Solaris 9 and 10 or RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0 are supported). In this scenario, you keep the SGM 4.1 installation on one machine, and simply perform a backup, then restore the data onto another machine running MWTM 6.0.
Note
After upgrading, the MWTM performs staggered presence polling for each node in the network. Completion time depends upon the number of nodes in your network and your poll interval setting. For a typical network, the default poll setting is 15 minutes. During the first poll cycle, functionality can be limited.
The following upgrade scenarios are supported:
•
Upgrading from SGM 4.1 to MWTM 6.0 on the Same Machine
•
Upgrading from SGM 4.1 to the MWTM 6.0 on Different Machines
•
Upgrading from the MWTM 5.0 to 6.0 on the Same Machine
•

Upgrading from SGM 4.1 to MWTM 6.0 on the Same Machine
When upgrading SGM to the MWTM, SGM must be at release 4.1. Migration from any release of SGM prior to 4.1 is not supported. If you have SGM from a release earlier than 4.1, you must first upgrade to SGM 4.1.
Upgrading from SGM 4.1 to the MWTM 6.0 automatically occurs when you install the MWTM 6.0 directly over SGM 4.1.
Upgrading from SGM 4.1 to the MWTM 6.0 on Different Machines
If you are upgrading SGM 4.1 to MWTM 6.0 on two different machines:
Step 1
On your SGM 4.1 machine, run the sgm backup command (see the Cisco Signaling Gateway Manager 4.1 User Guide).
Step 2
On the second machine, install the MWTM 6.0.
Step 3
Copy the SGM 4.1 backup to the /opt directory on your MWTM 6.0 machine.
Step 4
On the MWTM 6.0 machine, run the mwtmUpgrade.sh script, located in the following directory:
Note
/opt/CSCOsgm is the default installation directory. If you installed the MWTM in a directory other than /opt, then the CSCOsgm directory is located in that directory.
The MWTM restores your SGM 4.1 backup data to the MWTM 6.0.
Upgrading from the MWTM 5.0 to 6.0 on the Same Machine
Upgrading from the MWTM 5.0 to the MWTM 6.0 automatically occurs when you install the MWTM 6.0 directly over the MWTM 5.0.
Upgrading from the MWTM 5.0 to 6.0 on Different Machines
If you are upgrading the MWTM 5.0 to 6.0 on two different machines:
Step 1
On your MWTM 5.0 machine, run the mwtm backup command (see the Cisco Mobile Wireless Transport Manager 5.0 User Guide).
Step 2
On the second machine, install the MWTM 6.0.
Step 3
Copy the MWTM 5.0 backup to the /opt directory on your MWTM 6.0 machine.
Step 4
On the MWTM 6.0 machine, run the mwtmUpgrade.sh script, located in the following directory:
Note
/opt/CSCOsgm is the default installation directory. If you installed the MWTM in a directory other than /opt, then the CSCOsgm directory is located in that directory.
The MWTM restores your 5.0 backup data to 6.0.
About Using Alternate Ports
The MWTM client and server software must be set up to communicate on the same port. If you are installing the MWTM client on the same machine as the MWTM server, the install tool handles this automatically. If you are installing the MWTM client on a separate system from the server, you must make sure the ports specified during the client installation match those installed for the MWTM server. In most installation situations the default ports should be available for the MWTM client and server.
The MWTM server software uses the following default ports:
•
web server—1774/tcp
•
JSP server—1775/tcp
•
naming server—44742/tcp
The MWTM client software must know which ports the MWTM server is using. By default, the client uses the following ports:
•
web server—1774/tcp
•
JSP server—1775/tcp
•
naming server—44742/tcp
When you install the MWTM server, or the MWTM server and client, the MWTM install tool determines whether or not these ports are available. (This is not done when you install only the MWTM client.) If there are conflicts with the ports, the software provides you with the option to specify an alternate port number.
To determine the ports that are currently in use on your system, use the netstat command for Solaris, which includes the corresponding port type (TCP):
# netstat -a -n -f inet -P tcp
If you are specifying an alternate port, remember that ports 1 through 1023 are reserved for system processes.

Note
For the Solaris server, you must have the latest recommended patches from Sun Microsystems Inc. and required patches for the MWTM. For a list of the required patches for the MWTM, see Solaris Patch Requirements.
The MWTM installation program automatically verifies your operating system version and (if applicable) checks for the required level of Solaris patches.
Solaris Patch Requirements
The Solaris patches listed by version in this section are required to install the MWTM. These patches can be installed separately or as a jumbo patch from Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Caution 
If the required patches are not installed, the MWTM might not operate as expected.
To verify the patches installed on your Solaris system, run the showrev -p command. The MWTM installation program also checks for these patches automatically, and reports any missing patches.
To obtain the patches, download and install the entire recommended patch cluster for your OS version from the Sun Microsystems website:
http://sunsolve.sun.com

Windows XP Professional
|
Solaris
|
Model
|
IBM PC-compatible computer
|
Sun Ultra Workstation
|
Minimum CPU speed
|
2.0 GHz Pentium 4 processor or later
|
1 GHz processor or greater
|
Minimum RAM
|
512 MB minimum is required (1 GB strongly recommended)
|
1 GB RAM or greater is required (1 GB recommended).
|
Additional Memory
|
To configure GTT tables or MLR address tables, between 256 MB and 1 GB of additional RAM is required. For example, a client used to configure 500,000-line GTT tables (the largest supported size) requires at least 1 GB of additional RAM on the client.
|
• If you are running more than one MWTM client on the same device, an additional 256 MB RAM is required for each additional client.
• Larger networks require more RAM to maintain performance.
• To configure GTT tables or MLR address tables, between 256 MB and 1 GB of additional RAM is required. For example, a client used to configure 500,000-line GTT tables (the largest supported size) requires at least 1 GB of additional RAM on the client.
|
Minimum Swap
|
N/A
|
2 GB or greater is required (swap space twice the size of RAM is recommended). Swap space is in addition to the recommended hard disk space.
|
Minimum disk space
|
• 200 MB minimum on the drive where you install the MWTM client is required (400 MB if installing the client from the MWTM web server, plus 20 MB minimum on the drive on which you save the downloaded client package).
• 20 MB minimum on the drive that contains the TEMP directory is required (for InstallShield's temporary files).
• 20 MB minimum on the drive that contains the Program Files directory is required (for the uninstall files).
|
• 200 MB minimum is required (particularly if installing the client from the MWTM web server).
|
Hardware
|
• A DVD-ROM drive (ISO 9660-compliant) on the host system, or access to the MWTM web server.
• A monitor and video card that support displaying 16.7 million colors (24-bit color depth).
• A PostScript-compatible printer is required for printing graphs and charts.
|
• To install software, a DVD-ROM drive on the server or on a remote host system that can be accessed by the Network File System (NFS).
• A monitor and video card that support displaying 16.7 million colors (24-bit color depth) are required if you will run the MWTM client on the host system.
• A PostScript-compatible printer is required for printing graphs and charts.
Note For optimum performance on large networks, it is recommended to use a local Solaris client with a graphics card and an attached monitor, rather than remote access.
|

Note
To enable a remote Solaris workstation to access the MWTM on a local workstation, you can use the xhost + UNIX command. However, performance is always better if you access the MWTM by installing the MWTM client on the remote workstation.
Additional Software Requirements
Web Browser Software
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 (SP1) or later, or Mozilla version 1.7 or later (including Firefox 1.5.x or 2.0 or later) browser software is required to access the MWTM's online help, to download the MWTM client software using the web interface, and to access the MWTM server home page and the web-based MWTM features.
CiscoWorks
The MWTM does not require CiscoWorks, but the MWTM does integrate with CiscoWorks to provide added value. CiscoWorks LMS 2.6 is the version supported by the MWTM.
If you want to integrate the MWTM with CiscoWorks, you should also know the following information:
•
Name of the host on which CiscoWorks is installed.
•
CiscoWorks web server port number. The default is 1741
For details on integrating the MWTM with CiscoWorks, see the mwtm cwsetup command reference in the User Guide for the Cisco Mobile Wireless Transport Manager 6.0.
ITP Router Configuration Requirements
When you configure IP Transfer Points (ITPs), keep the following MWTM considerations in mind:
•
You must configure the ITPs to use SNMP community names. The MWTM requires that the names be at least read-only (RO), but read-write (RW) names also work.
•
You must enable the ITPs to use both CS7 traps and SNMP traps. (The MWTM trap receiver supports SNMP traps for both version v1 and v2c, but not version v3).
You can also enable the ITPs to use ENVMON traps, to enable the MWTM to handle and display environmental events, but this is not required.
•
The host IP address used for traps must be the MWTM server's IP address.
Also, for full access to MWTM commands and functions, set the SNMP trap port number to a value greater than 1024. By default, the MWTM listens for traps from trap multiplexing devices and NMS applications on port 44750, so this is a good port number to choose. The SNMP trap port number must be the same on all ITPs in your network.
•
To minimize lost traps, set the length of the message queue for each trap host to at least 100. The more links handled by the host, the higher you should set the queue length. For example, if you have a fully loaded 7507 handling a large number of links, you might set the queue length to 500.
•
To enable the MWTM to log more than one line of Syslog, set the logging history size to 500.
To implement these requirements on an ITP, enter the following IOS commands on the ITP:
snmp-server community public RO
snmp-server enable traps cs7
snmp-server enable traps snmp
snmp-server enable traps envmon
snmp-server host mwtm-ip-address public [udp-port port-number]
snmp-server queue-length 100
where:
•
public is the SNMP community name the ITP is to use.
•
mwtm-ip-address is the IP address of the MWTM server.
•
port-number is the SNMP trap port number of the ITPs and of the MWTM server, either 162 or 44750.
For more information about these commands, see the Cisco IOS Release 12.2 Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.
Note
If, in addition to the MWTM, you are using other network management products to receive traps from ITPs, those ITPs might require additional IOS commands to enable them to use additional traps.
RAN-O Router Configuration Requirements
When you configure the RAN-O network, keep the following MWTM considerations in mind:
•
You must configure each network element to be reachable via IP networking to or from the MWTM server (you must be able to ping each MWR from the MWTM server).
•
You must configure network elements to use SNMP community names. MWTM requires that the names be at least read-only (RO), but read-write (RW) names also work.
•
You should enable network elements to use SNMP traps. (The MWTM trap receiver supports SNMP traps for both version v1 and v2c, but not version v3.)
You can also enable network elements to use ENVMON traps, to enable MWTM to handle and display environmental events, but this is not required.
•
The host IP address used for traps must be the MWTM server's IP address.
•
To minimize lost traps, set the length of the message queue for each trap host to at least 100.
•
To enable MWTM to log more than one line of Syslog, set the logging history size to 500.
To implement these requirements on a network element, enter the following IOS commands on the network element:
ipran-mib snmp-access <inBand | outOfBand>
ipran-mib location <cellSite | aggSite>
snmp-server community <snmp community string> RO 1
snmp-server ifindex persist
snmp-server trap link ietf
no snmp-server sparse-tables
snmp-server queue-length 100
snmp-server enable traps snmp linkdown linkup coldstart warmstart
snmp-server enable traps ipran
snmp-server enable traps cpu threshold
snmp-server host <snmp-server-host-ip-address> version 2c v2c
snmp-server queue-length 100
where:
•
The ipran-mib snmp-access value determines how the MWTM collects data from the MWR. If you specify outOfBand as the value, the MWTM collects performance information automatically from the chassis. If you specify inBand as the value, the MWTM does not automatically collect performance information from the chassis, preventing the MWTM from consuming too much bandwidth when managing the MWR chassis. Typically, all cellSite routers are managed inBand while all aggSite routers are managed outOfBand.
•
The ipran-mib location value determines how the MWR chassis appears in the MWTM application.
•
snmp community string should be replaced with the SNMP community name the network element is to use.
•
The ifindex persist keyword ensures that the SNMP values for the network interfaces are preserved when the router reboots.
•
The no snmp-server sparse-tables keyword is required for the MWTM, and ensures that the SNMP engine on the router always returns a value even if the attribute is null or zero.
•
snmp-server-host-ip-address is the IP address of the MWTM server.
•
port-number is the SNMP trap port number of the network element and of the MWTM server, either 162 (the default) or 44750.
For more information about these commands, see the Cisco IOS Release 12.4 Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference.
Note
If, in addition to MWTM, you are using other network management products to receive traps from network elements, those network elements might require additional IOS commands to enable them to use additional traps.
