Prerequisites
Refer to the Release Notes for Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Release 2.0rfor the latest information about hardware and software requirements, changes, important notes, and caveats for your software release.
Cisco UCS C220 Servers
Be sure that the following requirements are met before you upgrade your server:
- Your new server is installed in its production location. For more information, see the Cisco UCS C220 Server Installation and Service Guide.
- You have completed the initial server setup and configured the Cisco UCS C-Series Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) interface.
- To configure the CIMC, you will need an additional IP address for the server and should be prepared to change the default login and password. Be sure that the server is configured for standalone mode with the following settings:
– DHCP—Disabled
– NIC redundancy—None
– Boot order—Virtual CD/DVD, HDD
For more information, see the Appendix A: CIMC Configuration and Firmware Upgrade Guidelines on the Cisco UCS C220 Server module.
- You have the network information required to configure the Ethernet connection on the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile server, such as:
– IP address (IPv4 only) and network mask
Note The Cisco StadiumVision Mobile server should be configured with a static IP address or a non-expiring DHCP lease.
– Default gateway address
– DNS server address
– Hostname
- The Cisco StadiumVision Mobile server is connected to the network and has power.
- Power on the server and verify the boot order in the BIOS (by pressing F2 while booting) prior to installation.
- To access the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) for the software installation, the following requirements are met:
– Your computer meets the minimum browser requirements for Cisco StadiumVision Mobile, and also has Java 1.6 or later installed.
– You have a laptop connection with access to the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile server network.
– You have the IP address of the CIMC interface on the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile server.
– You have the CIMC interface login credential. The default credential is admin and password.
When using a Cisco UCS C220 server, observe the following guidelines before starting the installation:
Caution
Do
not alter the RAID configuration prior to installation
- Verify the boot order in the BIOS (by pressing F2 while booting) prior to installation
Caution
If you are doing a fresh installation on a previously configured system, a full install will erase the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Streamer or Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Reporter configuration. Perform a backup prior to installing to preserve configuration data. See the
Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Streamer Administration Guide or
Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Reporter Administration Guide for instructions on performing a backup.
Virtualized Server Environment
Installing Cisco StadiumVision Mobile in a virtualized server environment includes setting up your server environment, running the full ISO for Cisco StadiumVision Mobile, and configuring the network. For more information see the “Hardware Prerequisites” section, the “Installing on a Virtual Server for the First Time” section, in the “Getting Started Installing or Upgrading Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Software” module.
Installation Tasks
This section provides a high-level overview of the installation process, and contains the following sections.
Table 1 lists the platform, type of media, and file to use to perform a fresh installation.

Obtaining the ISO File
Obtaining the Full ISO from stadiumvision-pm@cisco.com if you need the full install ISO file.
Installing from the hard drive
To install from the hard drive, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Be sure the CIMC firmware is up to date; configure CIMC (see “Appendix A: CIMC Configuration and Firmware Upgrade Guidelines on the Cisco UCS C220 Server” ).
Step 2 Power on the server.
Step 3 When the server console shows a login prompt proceed to the “Configuring the Network Setup” section.
Note Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Reporter and Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Streamer come preinstalled with a released image of Cisco StadiumVision Mobile software. Depending on the timing of your hardware shipment with available software releases, this image might not be the latest released version. Therefore, after you install your hardware, it is important that you power on and access the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile software to verify the software version. As necessary, you can upgrade the software following the guidelines in this guide and in the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Release Notes.
Installing using CIMC
To install using CIMC, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Verify that CIMC firmware and BIOS are up to date.
Step 2 Configure CIMC (see “Appendix A: CIMC Configuration and Firmware Upgrade Guidelines on the Cisco UCS C220 Server” ).
Note At this release, the CIMC 1.5.1 firmware version is the minimum tested version.
Step 3 Connect a second Ethernet cable to the CIMC Ethernet port marked M.
Step 4 Power on the server.
Step 5 Start CIMC and perform a virtual DVD mount:
a. Access CIMC from a web browser:
https:// ip address /login.html
b. Click the Add Exception button.
c. Click Confirm Security Exception to get to the CIMC login page. The default login credentials are:
user: admin
password: password
d. Click on the Launch KVM Console at the top of the CIMC interface to launch the KVM console.
The KVM tab provides a view of the system diagnostics or command prompt execution. The Virtual Media tab provides the virtual CD/DVD setup for ISO installation.
e. Click on Add Image tab under the KVM Console Virtual Media tab.
f. Navigate to the ISO file.
Note CIMC can experience slow performance. If slow performance occurs, clear the browser cache.
Note If the installation seems to suspend operation on a Cisco UCS C220, you might need to restart the installation by remapping the ISO image, and power cycling the Cisco UCS C220 server.
g. Click the check box for the Mapped option under Client View to select the ISO source.
h. Confirm that the Virtual CD/DVD has been added under the Virtual Media tab, Virtual CD/DVD.
i. Double click on Virtual CD/DVD and observe the read bytes counter increasing (this refreshes the read bytes).
j. Close the KVM tab to start viewing the installation process.
k. On the CIMC interface under Server Summary, click Power Cycle Server to start the installation process.
l. On the KVM Console/KVM terminal, confirm that the system is restarting and booting up from the Virtual CD/DVD.
Step 6 When the server console shows a login prompt proceed to the “Configuring the Network Setup” section.
Installing on a Virtual Server with Release 2.0 for the First Time
The installation process for a virtual server running Cisco StadiumVision Mobile software release 2.0 for the first time involves the following tasks:
Note Any VMware license that does not allow your virtual machine to be set to the minimum requirements described in Table 1 and Table 2 in the “Getting Started Installing or Upgrading Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Software” module is not supported. As of the release date for Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Release 2.0, VMware vSphere Hypervisor is not supported.
- Load the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Release 2.0 (full ISO).
- Run the installation.
Configuring the Network Setup

To configure the network setup, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Select Network Configuration from the menu.
Note The network configuration window displays for approximately sixty minutes. If the window disappears, continue the network configuration using the TUI.
Step 2 Select Edit Devices and press Enter.
Step 3 Select eth0 and press Enter.
Step 4 In the Ethernet Configuration, enter the network information. When done, select OK and press Enter.
Note The Linux screen is mislabeled "Devernet Configuration.”
Note The Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Streamer or Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Reporter must use a static IP address.
Step 5 Select OK and press the Enter key.
Step 6 Select Edit DNS configuration and press Enter.
Step 7 Enter DNS information. When done, select OK, and press Enter.
Note Do not use a period ('.') as part of the hostname.
Step 8 Select Save & Quit and press Enter.
Step 9 Select Exit and press Enter.
After this step, the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile software installs and the system reboots. This process takes up to 30 minutes. The installation should be completed. Validate the installation by logging into the Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Streamer or Cisco StadiumVision Mobile Reporter.
