• Pager alerts require a Hayes Compatible Modem.
• For optimal viewing of the CSA MC UI, you should set your display to a
resolution of 1024x768 or higher.
• On a system where CSA MC has never been installed, the CSA MC setup
program first installs Microsoft SQL Server Express and the required .NET
environment. If the CSA MC installation detects any other database type
attached to an existing installation of Microsoft SQL Server Express, the
installation will abort. This database configuration is not supported.
If you are planning to deploy no more than 1,000 agents, the shipped version
of Microsoft SQL Server Express should be adequate. For a larger
deployment, you also have the option of installing Microsoft SQL Server
2005 or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 instead of using the Microsoft SQL
Server Express database that is provided. Note that of you are using SQL
Server 2005 or 2000, it must be licensed separately and it must be installed
on the system before you begin the CSA MC installation. See
Chapter 3,
“Installing the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents” for
details.
We also recommend that you format the disk to which you are installing CSA
MC as NTFS. FAT32 limits all file sizes to 4 GB.
Virtual Memory 2 GB virtual memory
Hard Drive Space 9 GB minimum available disk drive space
