Media Gateway Controller Software Requirements

Cisco EMF and Cisco MGM provide integrated connection to the management interfaces of the following Media Gateway Controllers (MGCs):

New Features

In addition to all of the features supported in Cisco MGM release 2.0, Cisco MGM 3.0 enhances the Cisco EMF to support MGX 8830/8850 (PXM1E-based) and MGX 8850 (PXM45-based) CVGs which support features of the VISM and VISM-PR cards. The following features have been added or enhanced in Cisco MGM 3.0:

VISM/VISM-PR Specific Features

Cisco MGM 3.0 provides integration to automatically detect CiscoView installation and install the WANCV package into the CiscoView core.

Cisco MGX 8000 Series CVG Auto Discovery

Cisco MGM 3.0 enhances the Cisco EMF auto discovery function by recognizing all of the MGX8830/8850 (PXM1E-based) and MGX8850 (PXM45-based) CVGs in the discovery domain and creating the corresponding nodes on the Map Viewer.

Cisco MGX 8000 Series CVG Subchassis Discovery and Synchronization

Cisco MGM 3.0 discovers the subchassis inventory on MGX8830/8850 (PXM1E-based) and MGX8850 (PXM45-based) CVGs and writes the data into the Cisco MGM database for display and other processing purposes. Subchassis synchronization is periodically performed with all of the MGX8830/8850 (PXM1E-based) and MGX8850 (PXM45-based) CVGs in the network.

Cisco MGX 8000 Series CVG Trap Handling and Forwarding

All traps emitted from MGX8830/8850 (PXM1E-based) and MGX8850 (PXM45-based) CVGs are recognized by Cisco MGM 3.0 and are reported in the Cisco EMF Event Browser. Traps received by Cisco MGM 3.0 are forwarded to a remote management system if the forwarding entry is defined in the Cisco EMF trap forward configuration file. Forwarded traps are delivered in the same order as they are received by Cisco EMF Trap Manager.

Cisco MGX 8000 Series CVG Chassis Maintenance Administration

A chassis maintenance feature is provided to allow the temporary suspension of selected nodes in Cisco MGM from receiving traps or performing other operations. A chassis maintenance window is provided for the gateway objects and can be launched on a per-chassis basis.

Cisco MGX 8000 Series CVG Configuration Save/Restore and Image Download

Cisco MGM 3.0 allows for the gateway configuration to be saved and uploaded to a predetermined location on the Cisco MGM server. The configuration can be restored by downloading the specified configuration file to the gateway. Cisco MGM 3.0 also facilitates the image download operation for MGX8830/8850 (PXM1E-based) and MGX8850 (PXM45-based) CVGs.

Media Gateway Controller EMS Integration

Cisco MGM 3.0 supports BTS 10200 Release 3.3. This version of Cisco MGM carries the MGX 8000 series CVG package (cmgmpkgm/c) along with the BTS media gateway controller package in the release image.

Table 4 Media Gateway Controller Software Requirements
Cisco BTS 10200	Release 3.3
Tekelec Vxi	Release 4.0
NexVerse ipVerse	Release 5.1

Tekelec VXi Media Gateway Controller (MGC) is also integrated with Cisco MGM 3.0. This allows for the auto discovery of VXi MGCs from Cisco MGM, the ability to launch the VXi MGC EMS from the MapViewer, and the inclusion of Tekelec VXi traps/alarms into the Cisco MGM Event Browser.

Cisco MGM 3.0 also supports the integration with the NexVerse ipVerse ControlSwitch EMS. This package allows for the auto discovery of NexVerse ipVerse MGC nodes, the ability to launch the NexVerse ipVerse EMS from the MapViewer, and the inclusion of NexVerse ipVerse traps and alarms into the Cisco MGM Event Browser.

Limitations and Restrictions

•

The CiscoView 5.4 server can run on a local or remote machine. If it is running on a remote machine, you must manually run the CiscoView security integration script and WanCV installation by executing the following commands from the Cisco MGM CD on the remote machine:

•

Cisco MGX 8000 Series CVGs do not send traps to Cisco MGM when you enter clrallcnf commands. The clrallcnf command erases the gateway configuration in Cisco MGM, but this does not show in the Map Viewer because no trap is sent. You must perform a manual chassis synchronization from Cisco MGM to reset the gateway configuration in the Map Viewer.

•

The system reset CLI command may cause the chassis to be out-of-reach from the network, which leads to loss of traps from the device to the Cisco MGM management server. Redundant card failover may not report all the necessary information in the alarm for Cisco MGM to recovery its configuration on the Map Viewer. If the operator executes a resetsys command on a chassis or if Cisco MGM receives traps indicating card failover, the Cisco MGM operator should perform a manual sub-chassis synchronization. The 24-hour periodic resync task will eventually pick up the correct inventory for all the chassis managed by Cisco MGM as well.

•

Cisco MGM v3.0 coresidency, as described in the Cisco Media Gateway Manager User Guide, has not been verified at this time.

Installation Notes

•

Installing the latest Solaris patches available ensures optimal system performance and the inclusions of critical security updates.

•

If the Cisco MGM server does not have DNS or NIS service, add the following line to the server /etc/hosts file to access the Cisco MGM user guide:
198.133.219.25 www.cisco.com www.cisco.com

•

Before uninstalling the Cisco MGM server or client, backup your Cisco EMF database according to the procedures described in the Cisco Element Management Framework Installation and Administration Guide, Chapter, 10, "Cisco EMF Database Backup and Restore".

•

Uninstalling Cisco MGM does not uninstall WanCV and other CiscoView integration files that were previously installed. The following directory and files remain in your CiscoView installation:

<CiscoView Root>/www/classpath/ems
<CiscoView Root>/www/classpath/cvpars.properties
<CiscoView Root>/www/classpath/com/cisco/nm/cvw/devpkgs/MGX8*.zip
<CiscoView Root>/htdocs/CmgmSessionTimeOut.html

For detailed Cisco MGM installation instructions, refer to the Cisco Media Gateway Manager User Guide.

Important Notes

•

Do not interrupt the Cisco MGM installation or uninstallation with Ctrl-C or the kill command. After such an interruption, the system might not successfully install or uninstall Cisco MGM when you try to perform these actions again, or the system might enter an abnormal state.

•

Do not interrupt the cemf backup operation using Ctrl-C or the kill command.

•

In rare cases, installation fails with a pkgadd error. If this occurs, manually set the file permissions for the /tmp directory to rwx.

•

Always run cemf stop to gracefully shut down Cisco EMF and Cisco MGM processes before rebooting the machine. If the machine is accidentally rebooted (or restarted due to a power failure), the Cisco MGM database integrity can be damaged, and you might need to run cemf reset and rediscover the network to restore normal operation. Running low on swap space leads to the same problem. Make sure that a minimum of 2 GB of swap space is allocated on the server machine.

•

If the cemf stop operation hangs while suspending the participant service, wait for at least 1 hour for the cemf stop command to complete. If the cemf stop command continues to hang, enter the /opt/cemf/bin/sysmgrClient -q command to stop Cisco EMF core processes, and then run cemf stop and cemf reset to reset the database.

•

If the following error messages appear when you are running cemf session, run cemf stop and cemf start to restart the Cisco EMF and Cisco MGM processes.

•

Do not use the Deployment menu on the Cisco MGM GUI to delete site objects that contain chassis underneath them. Doing so might cause the MapViewer window to stop working correctly. If this occurs, close the MapViewer window and reopen it from the Cisco EMF LaunchPad. Always delete chassis one at a time.

•

Before launching CiscoView from a Cisco MGM session, make sure that you do not have any Netscape processes already running. ((If a Netscape process is running before you launch CiscoView for the first time in your Cisco MGM session, Netscape will incorrectly prompt you to install the java plug-in every time CiscoView is launched.)

•

The object indicator color on the Cisco MGM GUI represents the highest severity of alarm on the object, but not necessarily the status of the resource on the chassis. To find out the status of the resource that the object represents, use the Object Configuration window.

•

The alarm indicator next to the object name on the left side of the Cisco MGM GUI sometimes does not show the correct color of the highest outstanding alarm. If this occurs, close the MapViewer window and open a new one. For information about Cisco MGM alarm colors, refer to the Cisco MGM User Guide, Chapter 6, "Fault and Performance Management".

Caveats

The following caveats exist in Cisco MGM 3.0. Generally, caveats include unexpected behaviors or defects in the software release. This document addresses caveats which directly impact user functionality and indicates alternative approaches (workarounds) where available. A complete listing of caveats is available in the Cisco bug tracking tool (http://www.cisco.com/support/bugtools).

Conditions: For a PXM1-based MGX 8000 Series chassis, the ComMat.dat file is overwritten on the MGX 8000 when firmware images are downloaded using the Image Download dialog in Cisco Media Gateway Manager (CMGM). This is not a problem for PXM-45 or PXM1-E based MGX 8000 Series chassis.

Workaround: Have a valid ComMat.dat file in the same directory as the firmware files on the CMGM server.

Conditions: While running the CiscoView Security script (cvsecurityinstall), that will be executed if CiscoView is installed on the same workstation as Cisco Media Gateway Manager (CMGM), an ERROR message could appear. However, the install of the CV Security is successful.

Workaround: Ensure that the CiscoView processes are running after the error message is displayed.

Symptom: Customer cannot upgrade the CiscoView device package for the MGX 8000 Series Voice Gateway because a lack of documentation.

Conditions: CMGM does not support CiscoView device package upgrading. CMGM installs a version of the CiscoView device package for the MGX 8000 Series Voice Gateway.

Workaround: Refer to CiscoView documentation to upgrade the CiscoView device packages.

Symptom: Install script does not recognize local CiscoView on multiple IP server.

Conditions: When the CMGM Server has multiple IP addresses during installation, the CiscoView security install script (cvsecurityinstall) and WAN CiscoView (wancvinstall) install scripts are not executed. The CMGM install script (cmgminstall) determines if CiscoView is installed on the same workstation that the cmgminstall script is running on. The IP address that is entered during install is compared to the IP address determined by the cmgminstall script. If the IP addresses are equal, CiscoView is installed on the workstation and the CiscoView scripts are run automatically. In this case the IP addresses are not equal because another IP address is determined for the local IP. The CiscoView scripts are not run automatically

Workaround: Execute the CiscoView Security install script (cvsecurityinstall) and WAN CiscoView (wancvinstall) install script manually as outlined in the CMGM User's Guide.

Conditions: VISM redundancy is setup on the MGX 8000 Series Voice Gateway. After the VISM switchover due to failure, the functionModuleState is not updated with the proper values for the new Active and Standby VISMs after the switchover. Only DS1 lines are reparented.

Conditions: Map Viewer allows the user to reorganize chassis, but then resets back to default after the next sub chassis sync up. This makes it difficult for the customer to organize his chassis into meaningful regions.

Workaround: Set the SNMP variable "sysLocation" to the container name; for example, set sysLocation to "East" or "West" on the MGX 8000. This will put the CMGM chassis in a "CMGM_Site_East" or CMGM_Site_West" site on the Map Viewer. The SNMP set on "sysLocation" can be performed by selecting the MGX 8000 and selecting "Tools -> Open Object Configuration ...". A new Object Configuration dialog is displayed. Select "SNMPv2-MIB.systemCMGMVMGX..." for the Object Type, enter the new value in the "sysLocation" text box, and select "File -> Save".

Symptom: Cisco MGM documentation must clarify how to change CMGM_Default_Site name.

Conditions: An improvement will be implemented whereby sites can be added through a CEMF dialog. The user guide should provide more explanations on the feature.

Workaround: The CMGM site name can be changed by performing a SNMP set on the SNMP variable "sysLocation". The SNMP set can be performed using the Object Configuration dialog from the Map Viewer.

Conditions: The CMGM install script (cmgminstall) determines if CiscoView is installed on the same workstation that the cmgminstall script is running on. The IP address that is entered during install is compared to the IP address that is determined by the cmgminstall script. If the IP addresses are equal, CiscoView is installed on the workstation and the CiscoView scripts are run automatically. In this case, the IP addresses are not equal because the nslookup fails and the CiscoView scripts will not execute automatically.

Workaround: Execute the CiscoView Security install script (cvsecurityinstall) and WAN CiscoView (wancvinstall) install script manually as outlined in the CMGM User's Guide.

Conditions: In CMGM 3.0, when the user downloads a PXM image, the ComMat.dat file is downloaded for PXM1 firmware images; it is not tied to RPM images.

Workaround: Have a "ComMat.dat" file in the same directory as the firmware files for PXM1 based devices. This is not a problem for PXM45 or PXM1E based MGX Voice Gateways.
