Installing the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7.4

---

This chapter describes how to install and upgrade to Release 7.4 of the Cisco Media Gateway Controller (MGC) software.

---

Note For Release 7.4 and later, the Cisco telephony controller software is called the Cisco Media Gateway Controller software. If you are uninstalling a software release prior to Release 7.4, the Cisco MGC (formerly "telephony controller") software files and processes are located in the /opt/TransPath directory of your host server. In Release 7.4, they are in the /opt/CiscoMGC directory.

---

Note For information on configuring the Cisco MGC software, see the following publication: Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7 Provisioning Guide

---

Before You Start

---

Caution To prevent the system from running out of disk space during installation and removing data files and databases to compensate, verify that there is enough hard disk space to support your intended installation. You can delete unnecessary log files (platform*.log), user-generated trace files (*.btr), call detail record (CDR) files (.bin or .csv), or user-generated toolkit files (in the /var/cust_specific/toolkit directory) to free space. You also need at least 4 GB of disk space for the /opt file system.

---

Before you start, perform the following steps:

•Review the hardware and software requirements found in the document Release Notes for
Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7.

•Have your company's internal support and Cisco support contact information readily available so you can get help with the installation if needed. (If you have questions or need assistance, see the "Obtaining Technical Assistance" section of the Cisco support contact information.)

•Ensure that you have access to the console port on your Cisco MGC host.

Perform your installation according to the steps below.

---

Note For the software to work properly, you must reboot the system every time you modify any file in the /etc directory.

When upgrading to Software Release 7.4 (9)C, you must check the /etc/group, /etc/passwd/ and /etc/shadow files for the occurrence of any user group ID that contains a line with 20000. If these lines exist, delete them before installing software release 7.4 (9)C.

---

---

Step 1 If the Sun Solaris 2.6 operating system is not already installed, start with "Installing the Sun Solaris 2.6 Operating System."

Step 2 With the Sun Solaris 2.6 operating system installed, go to the correct section in this chapter:

•If you are upgrading from a previous release, follow the procedures found in the "Installing the Cisco MGC Software Release 7.4(x)" section.

•If you are installing the software for the first time, follow the procedures found in the "Installing the Cisco MGC Software Release 7.4(x)" section.

---

Tips Allow for system downtime as follows:
      -  At least 2 hours to install the Sun Solaris 2.6 operating system
      -  Approximately 1 hour to install the Cisco MGC software

---

---

Note Monitor system output frequently for error messages during the installation process and correct any error conditions before continuing with the installation.

---

---

Installing the Cisco MGC Software Release 7.4(x)

For a sample output listing from the install.sh script, see "Sample Installation Scripts".

---

Note Remove /usr/ucb from the path environment variable before the initial installation of the Cisco MGC software. However, if /usr/ucb is needed, make sure that it is located in the path variable after /usr/sbin.

---

Cisco MGC Software Installation/Uninstallation Sequence

For the system to work properly, it is important that Cisco MGC software installation be performed in the following order:

---

Note At this point, the Solaris Operating System 2.6 and Solaris Operating System 2.6 patch cluster (CSCOh007) should be already installed in your system.

---

1. Cisco MGC software

2. Solaris System Security Patch (CSCOh013)

---

Caution Software must be uninstalled in the reverse order in which it is installed. For example, you must first uninstall software package CSCOh013 before you uninstall the Cisco MGC software.

---

---

Note You do not have to uninstall the Cisco MGC if only software package CSCOh013 requires updating but the Cisco MGC does not.

---

Installing on a Simplex System

To install the Cisco MGC software on a simplex system (a system with one Cisco MGC host), complete the following steps:

---

Step 1 Log in as root and go to the # prompt.

Step 2 Enter the following command:

cd /etc

Step 3 Open the password file with your editor.

Step 4 Check that /opt/TransPath does not appear in the path of any user; if it does, change the path to /opt/CiscoMGC.

Step 5 Save any changes to the password file.

Step 6 Close the password file.

Step 7 Insert the Cisco MGC Software Release 7.4(x) CD into the CD-ROM drive.

---

Caution If you are upgrading to a new software release, you must first copy the new software from the CD-ROM to an appropriate directory in your system (for example, create a directory as root user under /opt), then perform the installation from that directory. This step prevents possible CD-ROM ejection problems.

When the upgrade has successfully completed, it is strongly recommended that you delete the software you copied from the CD-ROM to your directory, to avoid running out of disk space.

---

Step 8 To install the Release 7.4(x) Cisco MGC software, enter the following command:

# ./install.sh

Step 9 The following prompt appears:

Use supplied admin file for unattended install? [n] [y,n,?,q] 

Answer y to perform an unattended installation. If you answer n, you must answer prompts and press Enter for each package that is installed.

---

Note The initial installation takes approximately 1 hour.

---

Step 10 The following prompt appears:

Install Cisco Media Gateway Controller Manager (CMM/Toolkit) package?

[n] [y,n,?,q] 

Answer y if you want to install the CMM and the Toolkit applications on this host.

---

Tips To install the CMM on a separate host, follow the steps in the "Installing the Cisco MGC Software on a Separate Host" section.

---

Step 11 The following prompt appears:

Base directory for CMM/Toolkit (default /opt/CMM) [?,q] 

Press Enter to accept the default directory, /opt/CMM. We recommend that you not change the directory.

Step 12 The following prompt appears:

The CSCOgu000 utilities package must be installed prior to other components but has not 
been detected on your system.

Would you like to install it now? [y] [y,n,?,q] 

Answer y to install the utilities package. This package must be installed before you install the rest of the software.

---

Caution Before accepting the default user ID and group ID as recommended in the step below, you must make sure old transpath IDs are deleted in the /etc/group directory. We recommend that the group directory itself be deleted.

---

Step 13 The following prompts appear:

Base directory for CiscoMGC (default /opt/CiscoMGC) [?,q] 

Enter CiscoMGC user name [mgcusr] 

Enter CiscoMGC UID [20000] 

Enter CiscoMGC group name [mgcgrp] 

Enter CiscoMGC GID [2000]

We recommend that you accept the default values for each of the prompts (by pressing Enter).

You can, however, specify a different user ID and a group ID. If the ID you specify already exists on the system, the corresponding ID will be determined and reused, or you will be prompted to enter another ID.

---

Caution No validation is performed on the IDs you enter. If you enter an invalid ID, the utilities package does not add any accounts.

---

The system returns a message that the CSCOgu000 utilities package was successfully installed.

Step 14 Rebooting after a successful utilities package installation might or might not be necessary, based on your system configuration.

---

Note Rebooting may take about 5 minutes.

---

If a reboot is not required, the installation continues uninterrupted. When the installation is finished, continue to Step 15.

If a reboot is required, perform the following steps when prompted:

a. Type the command displayed on the screen and press Enter.

---

Note If the command shown on the screen does not work, you can enter the /usr/sbin/reboot command to reboot the system.

---

b. After the reboot finishes, restart install.sh to install the remaining packages. To restart install.sh, type each of the following commands at the # prompt and press Enter:

# ./install.sh

c. The following prompts display:

Use supplied admin file for unattended install? [n] [y,n,?,q]
Install Cisco Media Gateway Controller Manager (CMM/Toolkit) package? [n] [y,n,?,q]

d. Type y for each of the prompts and press Enter.

e. When the package installation is finished, continue to Step 15.

Step 15 The system checks the memory and CPUs in the host. If you do not have enough memory or CPUs, a caution appears. You will get the Maximum Sustained/High Calls prompt, but it is possible that you will not get a warning on host resources.

After the check is complete, the following prompt appears:

Configure System for (1) Maximum Sustained Calls (2) High Call Throughput 

Enter 1 or 2 or q to quit 

---

Note Options 1 and 2 are performance tuning options that allow optimizing certain parameters and settings on the system for better performance, based on your system requirements. This choice should have been resolved when Cisco analyzed your system requirements.

---

Enter 1 or 2 to choose the option you want and press Enter.

Step 16 If your system uses IT Telekommunications AG (ITK, now Digi International AG) cards, you must install the drivers package using the pkgadd command.

---

Note When an ITK card is on an SS7 link set to run at 64 kbps, expect a download data rate of approximately 52 kbps, and an uplink data rate of approximately 40 kbps.

---

The drivers directory contains the following driver packages:

•CSCOgd001: Drivers for ITK T1/E1 cards

•CSCOgd002: Drivers for PTI V.35 cards

•CSCOgd003: Drivers for PTK T1/E1 cards (Reserved for future use; do not use.)

Enter the pkgadd -d package name command to add the appropriate driver for your card.
Example:

# pkgadd -d /cdrom/cdrom0/DRIVERS/CSCOgd001.pkg

The following text appears:

The following packages are available:

  1  CSCOgd001     Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software ITK PCI E1/T1 Driver

                   (sparc) 7.4(7)G

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:

Step 17 Press Enter to install the selected package. The installation script installs the drivers and reboots the host.

---

This completes the installation of the Cisco MGC software for a standalone configuration. For a sample install.sh log file, see the "Sample Installation Scripts".

If you have a redundant configuration, continue to the "Installing on a Fault Tolerant System" section.

Otherwise, go to the "Configuring Groups and Users" section.

If you have questions or need assistance, see the "Obtaining Technical Assistance" section.

Installing on a Fault Tolerant System

---

Caution To ensure the successful installation of a fault tolerant configuration, after Step 17 of the "Installing on a Simplex System" section, make sure that you provision the software for the active host first, before proceeding to Step 1, below. Refer to the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Provisioning Guide for information about provisioning the Cisco MGC software. Note that only one active provisioning session is permitted and provisioning is only permitted on the active MGC.

Exit the provisioning session on the active host and continue to Step 1, below. If software is not provisioned after it is installed on the active host, the standby host will not be synchronized with the active host. As a result, a forced switchover may cause the switchover to fail.

---

To install the Cisco MGC software on a fault tolerant system (with two Cisco MGC hosts and Cisco SLTs) or a system with two Cisco MGC hosts and E1/T1 signaling cards, complete the following steps:

---

Step 1 Install the new software on server 1 (follow the instructions in the "Installing on a Simplex System" section), then exit server 1.

Step 2 Log in to server 2 as root and go to the # prompt.

Step 3 Insert the Cisco MGC software Release 7.4(x) CD into the server 2 CD-ROM drive.

Step 4 Install the new software on server 2. Follow the instructions in Step 2 through Step 17 of the "Installing on a Simplex System" section.

Step 5 Configure the execution environment parameters and database replication for fault tolerant systems, using the following sections:

•Configuring Switchover

•Initializing the Provisioning Object Manager

•Initializing the Call Screening Database

---

---

Note For Software Release 7.4(10) and later, the install.log is renamed as MGC-install.log and stored in the /var/adm directory. In addition, the pkgerrors.log is renamed to MGC_pkgerrors.log and moved to the /var/adm directory.

---

Cisco MGC Software Directory Structure

Table 3-1 shows the Cisco MGC software directory structure.

---

Note Do not edit any .dat files (except for the XECfgParm.dat and trigger.dat files). Use MML or the GUI provisioning tool to make changes to your configuration. In addition, make changes to the call screening database only by using MML or the GUI provisioning tool.
