Installation Overview for Cisco HCM-F
This section covers the installation of an HCM-F Application Node and one or more HCM-F Web Services Nodes.
Before you proceed with the installation, consider the following requirements and recommendations:
-
Cisco HCM-F 11.5(2) and later provides an enhanced autovacuum functionality. The autovacuum frequently runs in background and cleans up the old deleted rows (dead tuples) from the database tables.
-
Ensure that you enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) on the Cisco HCM-F server. To verify the NTP status, log in to the Cisco HCM-F command line interface, and enter utils ntp status.
-
If you are installing multiple HCM-F nodes:
-
Ensurethat all nodes point to the same NTP server.
-
Ensure you are consistent with using either Domain Network Server (DNS) or non-DNS across all nodes.
-
-
Be aware that when you install on an existing server, the hard drive gets formatted and all existing data on the drive gets overwritten.
-
Install Cisco HCM-F using static IP addressing to ensure that the Cisco HCM-F obtains a fixed IP address.
-
Don't attempt to perform any configuration tasks during the installation.
-
Don't install any Cisco-verified applications until you complete the installation.
