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.
MCS 2-server Sun Fire V100 Solaris Installation and Commissioning Guide

Procedure 6 Connecting through the server to the MRV LX
terminal server
At the management pc,
1
MRV Communications recommends that you change the default
password for the user’s MRV LX terminal server before you put
the unit on a network. For more information, refer to Changing the
password defaults on page 40.
Use the following procedure to access the command line
interface port from a dumb terminal attached to an LX Series
serial port, which is set for access local or dynamic:
aHit the return key several times to autobaud (if autobaud is
enabled) the port and get the login prompt.
bEnter your login name. The default is InReach.
40
ATTENTION
cEnter your password. The default is access.
Procedure 7 Changing the password defaults
At the management pc,
1The default password for the MRV LX terminal server user is
access. If an unauthorized user knew this username/password
combination, that user could log on to your unit. For this reason,
you should change the user’s password to something other than
access.
The default Superuser password is system. To reduce the risk of
an unauthorized user gaining access to the Superuser
Command Mode, MRV recommends that you change this
password to something other than system.
To change the user-level password, access the Configuration
Command Mode.
2Access the Subscriber Command Mode for the subscriber by
entering the subscriber command with InReach as the
command argument; for example: Config:0 >>subscriber
InReach
3Enter the password command at the Subs_InReach >>
prompt.

Procedure 9 Connecting a server to the MRV LX terminal server
ATTENTION
The procedures in this document assume that you are using
PuTTY. It is suggested that you download from the web, PuTTY
VT 100 Emulator, a freeware configurator tool to set up sessions.
Download PuTTY from
www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
At the management pc,
1Connect a cat-5 Ethernet cable from the management PC to the
layer-2 switch.
2Launch PuTTY.
Note: Refer to the customer-specific information datasheet to
enter the MRV LX terminal server IP address and the port
number.
3In the hostname field, enter <IP address of the MRV LX
terminal server>
NN10364-301 MCS 5100 3.5 Standard 6.0 December 2006
4For port, enter <the port number which corresponds to A/LOM
(Serial A) on the V100 and the MRV LX terminal server>.
Note 1: For LOM ports, use terminal server ports 2100-2400
(physical ports 1-4). For Serial ports, use terminal server ports
3100-3400 (physical ports 11-14).
The port number identifies the location of the target host. This
value is based on the following formula: 2000 + (Port number
physically connected on the MRV LX terminal server x 100).
For example, if the target host is connected to port 9 of the
MRV LX terminal server, then the port number would be 2900.
Port 12 is the port on the back of the MRV LX terminal server
that translates to 3200.
Note 2: Once the connection is established to the target host,
the communication between the user and the component is
treated exactly like a console connection.

Ensure that the MCS Base Platform Software and Oracle 9i have been
installed on database servers.
ATTENTION
Refer to your CSI datasheet to enter the IP addresses that you
are prompted for in this section.
Deploying the MCS database load (imssipdb)
After performing the steps for installing MCS Base Platform software
and Oracle software, an empty imsdb1 database is all that exists. A
database load must be deployed on the database machine (Server1) to
define all of the MCS schemas and configurations.
Commands are executed on each server using PuTTY SSH into the
machine logical IP address (ex.: 120.120.13.25). The procedure to
install the database load for the first time is command-line driven and
executed from the MgmtSvr.
Example: Open a PuTTY SSH session to Server1 120.120.13.22
Procedure 21 Deploying the initial database load (imssipdb)
At the management pc,
1Log into the MgmtSvr:
User name: <nortel>

The dbdeploy.pl script is successfully deployed on the database.
ATTENTION
Refer to the customer-specific information for hostname, IP
addresses, subnet masks, and so on.
Deploy the Sysmgr for a non-redundant configuration. The operator
logs into the machine logical IP address of the management server. At
the UNIX prompt, the operator the uses the script mgmtdeploy.pl to
deploy and start the Sysmgr. This process is described in the following
section.
Deploying and starting the Sysmgr
Procedure 22 Deploying and starting the Sysmgr
At the management pc,
1Log into the management / accounting server:

the system does a sleep message as it starts each service.
There may be a delay.
Sysmgr deployment verification
After completing step 9 above, the screen will display deployment
information. Notice that the script waits 30 seconds between process
executions. The script is starting three processes that must be running
in order to continue MCS load deployment.
77
The three processes can be verified by opening a PuTTY SSH session
to the management / accounting server.
Example: Open a PuTTY SSH session to 120.120.13.22
Procedure 23 Verifying the Sysmgr deployment
At the management pc,
1Log into management / accounting server as nortel / <your new
password>.
2Execute the following command to verify processes:
[@micromgmt] /export/home/nortel:=> meinit -p
Rel3 NTme_pids mgmtsvr mgmtsvr.3 xxxx
Rel3 NTme_pids tsscma tsscma.5 xxxx
Rel3 NTme_pids tssfpma tssfpma.6 xxxx
Note: The numerical value of the PIDs is shown as "xxxx"
because it may vary on each system.
The results of the meinit command should display three
processes along with their process ids.

Before installing the license key as described in Procedure 25,
Installing the System Management Console, follow the procedure
below to generate and register your license key.
Procedure 24 Registering the license key
At the management pc,
1Before you can begin generating keycodes, first “Register” (or
create) your site on the KRS (Keycode Retrieval System)
webpage. The site will normally consist of one or two
Management and Accounting servers (this set is called the
CORE) and one or more Media Application Servers (MAS).
Each server has two (2) MAC addresses. First identify those
MAC addresses since you will need to identify them to the KRS
during the site registration process. The following screen shots
show a simple configuration and generation of one keycode for
the Management and Accounting servers (CORE).
2Open your browser and go to www.nortel.com (Internet access
is required to carry out this procedure.).
3From the main page, under Support, click on Keycode Retrieval.
This will take you to the secure login page.
MCS 2-server Sun Fire V100 Solaris Installation and Commissioning Guide
Figure 22 Keycode Retrieval System, Adding MAC address
11Repeat Step 10 for the second MAC address (required). If you
make an error, you can remove one or both and begin again. If
you have a second Core that is going to be installed as a
redundant server enter all four MAC addresses at this time.
12When finished you will need to select Create again to enter the
Media Application Server's MAC addresses, enter those just as
you did in Step 10.
13Enter both MAC addresses of the Media Application Server, if
you are installing one, and click Continue. For more information
on the Media Application Server, refer to the Media Application
NN10364-301 MCS 5100 3.5 Standard 6.0 December 2006
Server Service Guide applicable to your system (see the
Overview chapter for a listing of the service guides).
Note: If you have a second Media Application Server for your
system, you must select Create a second time as only two
MAC addresses can be associated with any one Media
Application Server.
Figure 23 Keycode Retrieval System, Adding a Media Application Server
14You will see a summary page of your entries. If the information
displayed is correct, click on Save. You will have completed
registering your system. If the information is not correct, click on
Cancel and begin again.

Figure 28 Keycode Retrieval System, Entering the authcode
05006201
20Select Add to have the KRS accept the authcode.
21The KRS will validate the authcode and ensure the features
represented are valid for your server type (CORE or MAS). If
validated successfully you will be allowed to enter more
authcodes until you've entered all for your server. When this
process is complete, click on Continue.
22The following example shows a summary of the features
represented by all the sample authcodes entered. This screen
shows the current features enabled and the new features to be
added to your server. In a new installation there are no features
displayed. If the list is correct, click on Continue.

Make sure that the System Management Console application has been
successfully installed on the PC.
Procedure 26 Launching the System Management Console
At the management pc,
1Click Start ->Programs ->MCP->System Management
Console.
2Enter the user name and password in the fields provided (case
sensitive). Contact support to obtain this information.
IP addresses and port numbers will default to the machine
logical IP address for the MgmtSvr and the MgmtSvr default port
11111 that you entered the procedure, Installing the System
Management Console on page 95.
3Click OK to log in.
The system manager will initialize the whole network view; it will
take up to a minute for the system manager screen to appear.
The default base directory where the System Management
Console is installed on the management pc is
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\MCP System
Management Console
4You should have received and stored a license key that you can
navigate to. You can save the license key in the file:
C:\Program Files\Nortel Networks\MCP System
Management Console\<file name>
5Install the license key.
In MCP 3.0, the initial License Key for Core Applications resides
on the MgmtSvr local disk. The initial License Key allows the
System Manager to start so that a registered License Key can
be installed at the window. The System Manager only permits
deployment of software components after you have entered a
registered License Key into the system. Once the License Key
has been registered in the system, that Key restricts the
deployment of software components.
To update the License Key from the System Management
Console, go to the Administration button and select Update from
NN10364-301 MCS 5100 3.5 Standard 6.0 December 2006
the License Key->Update dropdown menu (You can also select
the System=>License Key=>Update menu option from the
System tree.) as shown in Figure 32, Management Console
Update License Key. The System item on the file tree must be
highlighted.
Figure 32 Management Console Update License Key
6After you have selected the Update menu-item, an Update
License key/Select License key File dialog box appears, as
shown in Figure 33, Select License key File Window
MCS 2-server Sun Fire V100 Solaris Installation and Commissioning Guide
7Once you have entered the new License Key, you will see a
dialog box notifying you whether the update is successful or fails.
If the system does not find a license key in the database or on
the Managements server local disk, a dialog box (Figure 33) will
appear, prompting for a license key file.
If you do not immediately see your license key, locate it by
browsing the file system.
8Select the license key file by highlighting the file and pressing
Apply.
Once the file is selected, the license key appears in the text area.
If a wrong file is selected, the Open File button can be used to
select a different file.
Once you have selected the Apply button, a request is sent to
the System Manager and the license key is saved into the
database. Upon successful entry into the database, the Sysmgr
sends back an appropriate response to the System
Management Console and you will be notified that the license
key has been saved.
9By default, the only components available at this point are the
Sysmgr; that is, the Mgmtsvr, and a database instance. Expand
each element in the tree to verify that the MgmtSvr component
is loaded and running.
NN10364-301 MCS 5100 3.5 Standard 6.0 December 2006
The console screen has the basic look and feel of a Windows
Explorer window with a tree structure on the left, and a general
information area on the right. Each folder on the management
console tree is represented as a Network Element and each has
a different functionality.
