MCS 2-server Sun Fire V100 Solaris Installation and Commissioning Guide
Copyright © 2006 Nortel Networks
Overview
The MCS 2-server Sun Fire* V100 Solaris system is a small-scale
version of the Multimedia Communication Portfolio (MCP) system,
geared towards an environment with a maximum of 250 subscribers.
This system allows more effective cost management for smaller-sized
enterprises.
This document describes the installation of the 2-server Sun Fire V100
Solaris system.
The 2-server Sun Fire V100 Solaris system must be connected to a
100-MB full-duplex Ethernet switch. The IP configuration consists of
one public IP address. The following figures show the possible network
configurations.

follows. Print and refer to this example while executing this installation.
Print and complete the CSI datasheet with your own configuration to
assist in executing this installation. Configure the pc you are using for
management services with an IP address that is in the same subnet of
the IP address range used for the Sun Fire V100.

Restrictions and limitations
The 2-server V100 Solaris system is non-redundant. Since redundancy
is not built into the system, a server failure will result in the loss of
services. The 2-server V100 Solaris system has a mirrored disk. In the
event of a disk failure, the failed disk should be replaced as soon as
possible. The 2-server V100 Solaris system has the following
limitations:
• The system supports a maximum of 250 subscribers.
• Supported conference ports consist of 30 G.711 or 10 G.729.
• The system does not support live upgrades.
• System maintenance, starting, or stopping of components is not
supported while the system is live. Doing any maintenance while the
system is live may have adverse effects on call processing.
• Two-server-to-four-server migration is not supported.

Before you start the installation
Prerequisites
Have available your completed Customer-Specific Information (CSI)
datasheet. Refer to the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and
Engineering Guide, NN10313-191, that accompanies the MCS product
for CSI and system requirements. Make a copy of the CSI datasheet
from Appendix E of the MCS 5100 Network Deployment and
Engineering Guide (NN10313-191). Fill out the datasheet with relevant
information from your system administrator.
You must have read and understood all the Release Notes before the
installation begins.
Nortel Networks strongly recommends the use of high-speed data
network connectivity for optimum remote service capability. Without
broadband connectivity, remote service options are limited. Nortel
Networks recommends the Contivity Remote Access Solutions for this
function.
Nortel Networks also recommends following standard data center
conventions for having a Universal Power Supply (UPS) as the power
backup for the servers. For more information, refer to the MCS 5100
Network Deployment and Engineering Guide, NN10313-191, which
shows how to connect servers to two different UPS systems for
maximum uptime.
For power over Ethernet in the closet switches, Nortel Networks
recommends use of the Ethernet Switch 460 Power Over LAN layer 2
Ethernet switches.
ATTENTION
Make sure you install the latest software loads. Check with your
support team for the correct latest load.

Server configuration
The following table shows the basic configuration of the 2-server V100
Solaris system.
Loading disks
MCS 5100 Release 3.0 Base Platform System SoftWare Kit
NTVW01AJ contains multiple copies of the same CDs to allow
simultaneous installation across servers. See Ta b l e 2 , Mapping of Kit
NTVW01BD disks to servers (with times), on page 21 for details. Nortel
Networks recommends that you install the same CDs on both servers
at the same time to reduce installation time.
As shown in Ta bl e 2 , Mapping of Kit NTVW01BD disks to servers (with
times), Disks 1-5 have four copies each. Disk 6 only needs to go on
Server 1 (the server on which the Management and Accounting
Modules reside). There are six Oracle disks, with one copy, going on
Server 1(the server on which the Database Module resides).
