Chapter 2 Cisco MGM Installation
System Requirements
Platform Requirements
The platform resources you need depend on the number of Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateways and their
configurations. A basic installation requires 2 GB of free disk space in a file system (for example /opt)
for Cisco EMF and Cisco MGM.
Allocate the server’s hard disks as follows:
• Database and transaction log (2 drives)
• Solaris operating system and swap space (1 drive)
• Cisco MGM and Cisco EMF software, including the Cisco EMF database (1 drive)
A Cisco MGM server supports 5 concurrent Cisco MGM user sessions. Cisco MGM clients can support
5 additional users. Therefore, the maximum number of concurrent users for a client/server configuration
is 10. Each MGX 8260 chassis supports 5 concurrent Cisco WebViewer sessions.
Note OpenWindows is not supported on Cisco EMF.
Software Requirements
You need the following software for this installation:
• Cisco EMF version 3.1
• Cisco MGM version 1.0
• Netscape 4.5 for Solaris (for Cisco WebViewer)
• Cisco MGX 8260 Media Gateway, software version 1.2
• Cisco Voice CORBA Gateway version 1.0 (optional)
