Preface
Revised: February 2016, OL-31421-04
The Cisco Videoscape Distribution Suite Transparent Caching (VDS TC) solution is focused on reducing
costs and improving the quality of user experience in delivering unmanaged Internet-based content,
including Internet video, file sharing, software distribution, mobile application downloads, and web
browsing. VDS TC integrates highly scalable caching software with high-performance Cisco Unified
Computing System™ (UCS) C-Series Rack Servers and B-Series Blade Servers, Cisco switches, and
SAN storage. The VDS TC solution, combined with other Videoscape products, such as Cisco
Videoscape Distribution Suite for Internet Streaming (VDS IS), provides a complete platform for
optimizing managed and unmanaged content delivery.
Cluster Installation Overview
The Cisco VDS TC Cluster platform is a multi-server scalable system that is intended for the efficient
serving of P2P and HTTP user requests. A Cisco VDS-TC Cluster installation can optimize P2P and
HTTP object downloading traffic across ISP networks through high-performance caching.
Because of its flexible size, a Cisco VDS TC Cluster installation can meet both low-end and high-end
requirements, and can also grow in parallel with the customer network.
In a VDS TC Cluster configuration, the VDS TC software can run on the Cisco UCS C220 C- Series
Rack Servers or on the Cisco UCS B200 M3 B-Series Blade Servers. The cached objects for both
solutions are stored on an IBM or NetApp SAN storage device, and Cisco switches are used for data,
storage, and management connectivity. A VDS TC Cluster configuration that uses the Cisco UCS C220
Rack Servers can contain up to 16 Cisco UCS C220 cache engine servers and up to six NetApp E2724
or five IBM DS3524 SAN storage enclosures. A separate Cisco UCS C220 is used as the VDS TC
Management Server.
This installation guide provides instructions for installing VDS TC on a Cisco C-Series Cluster platform,
including installing and configuring the VDS TC Management Server, the VDS TC Cache Engines, and
the storage enclosures. This installation guide also discusses configuring the data and management
switches used by the VDS TC C-Series Cluster installation.
Rack Server Cluster Models
There are four VDS TC Server cluster models that use the Cisco UCS C220 Rack Servers:

Management switch: The VDS TC Management Server, the storage chassis, and the management
ports of the cache engines connect to the management switch. The following management switches
are used depending on the VDS TC configuration and storage enclosure that is used:
– For a VDS TC solution that uses the NetApp E2724 storage chassis:
•A Cisco Nexus 3172TQ Switch can be used as the VDS TC management switch for all VDS TC
C-Series Cluster installations. There will be one management switch for the non-redundant
installations and there will be two management switches for the redundant installations.
•A Cisco SG500 Stackable Managed Switch can be used as the VDS TC management switch for
the VDS-TC-2S non-redundant, VDS-TC-2S redundant, VDS-TC-4S non-redundant, and
VDS-TC-4S redundant configurations. There will be one management switch for the
non-redundant installations and there will be two management switches for the redundant
installations.
– For a VDS TC solution that uses the IBM DS3524 storage chassis:
•A Cisco Catalyst 4948E Ethernet switch is used for the VDS TC management switch in the
VDS-TC-4S, VDS-TC-8S, and VDS-TC-16S configurations. For the VDS-TC-4S and
VDS-TC-8S non-redundant installation, there will be one Cisco Catalyst 4948E management
switch. For a non-redundant VDS-TC-16S installation and the VDS-TC-4S, VDS-TC-8S, and
VDS-TC-16S redundant installations, there will be two Cisco Catalyst 4948E management
switches.
•The VDS-TC-2S configurations use the Cisco 4500-X switch for both the data switch and the
management switch. For a VDS-TC-2S non-redundant configuration, there is only one Cisco
4500-X Series switch. For a VDS-TC-2S redundant configuration, there are two Cisco
4500-X Series switches.

Procedure
Step 1
Connect to the VDS TC cache engine. You can use either a KVM cable and the KVM connector, or you
can use a web browser and the default IP address of 10.11.12.253 that is preconfigured on the
TCE-1300CE-K9 VDS TC cache engine to connect to the CIMC. The password is preconfigured by
Cisco specifically for VDS-TC cache engines. Please contact your Cisco account system engineer for
details.
Note
For more information on how to connect to the VDS TC cache engine, refer to the Cisco UCS C-Series
Rack Servers Install and Upgrade Guides web page available at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10493/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
Step 2
Boot up the VDS TC cache engine. From the Cisco BIOS screen press F8 when prompted. The CIMC
Configuration Utility window appears.
Step 3
From the CIMC Configuration Utility window, configure the following:
•
IPV4 (Basic):
– CIMC IP: Enter 10.11.12.1xx where xx is the number of the cache engine that you are
configuring. For example if you are configuring VDS TC Cache Engine 01, enter the IP address
10.11.12.101. If you are configuring VDS TC Cache Engine 16, enter the IP address
10.11.12.116.Enter the default gateway for the CIMC to use.
– Subnet mask: Enter 255.255.255.0.
– Gateway: Leave this value at 0.0.0.0.
Note
Step 4
The CIMC user password is preconfigured to a preset password specifically for VDS TC cache engines
and you must not change this password.

Installing and Configuring the Cisco VDS TC
Cluster Software
This chapter includes information for installing the VDS TC Cluster platform software, including
pre-installation and post-installation steps.
The VDS TC Cluster software installation script installs the VDS TC caching software and installs
management tools, such as the VDS TC Management software, SNMP MIBs, and the CLI environment.
Upon completion, the installer performs some verification tests, such as verifying the directory structure
accessibility and the reachability of IP addresses.
Note
The steps in this chapter should only be run on the VDS TC Management Server. The procedures in this
chapter will distribute the Cisco software packages to all of the servers.
This chapter contains the following sections:
•
Installing the Management Environment and Software
•
Post Installation Steps
Installing the Management Environment and Software
Use this procedure to install the management environment and software:
Procedure
Step 1
Using an SSH session that is connected to the VDS TC Management Server, enter the command su root
to login as the root user.
Step 2
Enter the command cd /tftpboot to change folders.
Step 3
Enter the command ls to see the name of the archive file. The file you are looking for will start with
VDS-TC_FI and will include Server_Cluster in the filename. Record the name of this file because you
will need it in a later step. The numbers in the archive file represent the version of the VDS TC caching
software. For example, the file named VDS-TC_FI_5.7.3b54_Server_Cluster.tar.gz would be for a VDS
TC Cluster installation and the version number of the software is 5.7.3b54.
Step 4
Enter the command mkdir version, where version is the version number in the archive file you
discovered in Step 3. For example, if the file you discovered in Step 3 was
VDS-TC_FI_5.7.3b54_Server_Cluster.tar.gz, enter the command mkdir 5.7.3b54.
Cisco Videoscape Distribution Suite Transparent Caching Software C-Series Cluster Installation Guide
OL-31421-04
6-1
Chapter 6
Installing and Configuring the Cisco VDS TC Cluster Software
Installing the Management Environment and Software
Step 5
Use the cd command to change to the directory you created in Step 4, for example cd 5.7.3b54.
Step 6
You must extract the VDS-TC software from the packed archive, located in the /tftpboot folder. Enter
the command tar -zxvf ../archive_name, where archive_name is the name of the file you discovered in
Step 3. For example, enter the command
tar -zxvf ../VDS-TC_FI_5.7.3b54_Server_Cluster.tar.gz.
Step 7
Next you must review and possibly edit the GA_installer.rc file to reflect the number of cache engine
servers to be installed in the Cluster. Use the command vi GA_installer.rc to review and edit this file if
necessary. The following is an example of what that file should look like for the first time install of four
servers and the management server.
#MANAGEMENT_SOFTWARE {no, yes}
MANAGEMENT_SOFTWARE=yes
#UPGRADEL_CACHE_SOFTWARE {all, none, space separated list(ce-1 ce-2 ce-3 ce-4 ce-5 ce-6
ce-7 ce-8 ce-9 ce-10 ce-11 ce-12 ce-13 ce-14 ce-15 ce-16)}
UPGRADEL_CACHE_SOFTWARE=ce-1 ce-2 ce-3 ce-4
UPGRADE_TAR_BALL=<filename>.tar.gz
MANAGEMENT_ENVIRONMENT=yes
GRACE_UPGRADE=yes
FIRST_INSTALL=yes
Step 8
To adjust the number of cache engine servers being installed, edit the line
UPGRADEL_CACHE_SOFTWARE=ce-1 ce-2 ce-3 ce-4, listing the cache engines that you are
installing.
Step 9
When you are finished editing the GA_installer.rc file, in the vi editor enter :x and press Enter to save
and exit the file.
Step 10
Enter the command ./GA_installer.sh to run the first installation script.
Step 11
At the Enter primary name server IP prompt, enter the IP address of your primary DNS server. Enter y
to confirm the entry.
Note
Step 12
Note
If a DNS server is unavailable, enter 0.0.0.0 as the IP address of the DNS server to prevent system
functionality from being negatively affected.
At the Enter secondary name server IP prompt, enter the IP address of your secondary DNS server. Enter
y to confirm the entry.
If a secondary DNS server is unavailable, leave this entry blank.

The GA Installer script displays a summary of the configuration. Review this configuration. If the
configuration is correct, press Y to proceed. If the configuration is not correct, press N to exit the
installation and start over.
Step 14
When asked if you want to change the management IPv4 settings, enter N unless you need to change the
IP address information that was configured during the original VDS TC Management Server installation.
If you enter Y, enter information at the following prompts:
Note
Step 15
•

Chapter 6
Installing and Configuring the Cisco VDS TC Cluster Software
Post Installation Steps
Post Installation Steps
Use the following procedure after installing the management environment and software to perform the
post installation steps. Part of the post installation steps is to copy a configuration file to the VDS TC
Management Server. The configuration file sets the environment variables and configuration for the VDS
TC application. A sample configuration file is provided in a .tgz file that is available from the same
location as the VDS TC ISO image file on www.cisco.com. In this section you will copy an example
configuration file, edit this file, and import the new configuration file to the VDS TC Management
Server.For more information about editing the configuration files in this section, see the Cisco
Videoscape Distribution Suite Transparent Caching Software Configuration Guide (part number
OL-28016-03).
Procedure
Step 1
Download the .tgz file that is available from the same location as the VDS TC ISO image file on
www.cisco.com. In this .tgz file, locate the sample configuration file that matches the number of VDS
TC Cache Engines that are installed in your VDS TC C-Series installation.
Step 2
Edit the sample configuration file and make the required changes in the following sections. For more
information editing the required parameters in the cluster_conf.xml file, see the Cisco Videoscape
Distribution Suite Transparent Caching Software Configuration Guide (part number OL-28016-02).
•
The <mgmt-config> controls the management IP environment section.
•
The <network> section controls the data network addresses.
•
The <service> section controls the cache out port configuration.
Step 3
Save your changes and rename the file cluster_conf.xml.
Step 4
Using SFTP software, such as WinSCP, connect to the management IP address that you assigned to the
VDS TC Management Server. Log in using the user name padmin and the password that was provided
by Cisco.
Step 5
Copy the example configuration file that you saved in Step 3 into the /tftpboot folder on the VDS TC
Management Server.
Step 6
From an SSH session that is connected to the VDS TC Management Server, enter the command su
admin. The system will notify you that the cluster_conf.xml file is not valid because the file does not
exit and then the Regular mode prompt, console>, appears.
Figure 6-2
Note
System Notification of no cluster_conf.xml File
If you need to open a new SSH window to the VDS TC cache engine, enter the management IP address
of the VDS TC cache engine and log in using the username padmin and the password that was provided
by Cisco. Enter the command su root to change to the root user and when prompted, enter the password
for the root user that was provided by Cisco.

Installing and Configuring the Cisco VDS TC Cluster Software
Post Installation Steps
Step 7
To log into the Enable mode, you need the system ID to use for the password. Enter the command show
systemid to determine the system ID.
Step 8
Enter the command enable to switch to Enable mode. Enter the first system ID that was discovered in
Step 7 for the password, excluding the leading *. The prompt changes to console#.
Step 9
To be able to import and apply the new configuration, enter the command config to switch to
Configuration mode.
Step 10
To import the edited configuration file, enter the command import 127.0.0.1 cluster_conf.xml.
Step 11
To confirm your changes to the configuration file, enter the command diff. The new configuration
parameters are indicated by a plus (+) sign as the first character on the line.
Step 12
To apply the imported configuration file, enter the command apply. After you enter the apply command,
the system may ask you to confirm some of the settings. If prompted to confirm any settings, either enter
y to confirm the entry or enter n to ignore that particular setting if necessary.
Caution
If you have configured the timezone of the VDS TC management server or cache engines, or if you have
configured the VDS TC management server to use an external NTP time server, you must repeat the NTP
configuration after importing a cluster_conf file.
Step 13
After the system is finished applying the configuration file, it may log you out of the CLI.
Step 14
If you were logged out of the VDS TC CLI, enter the command su admin to log back into the VDS TC
CLI. To log into the Enable mode, you need the system ID to use for the password. Enter the command
show systemid to determine the system ID.
Step 15
Enter the command enable to switch to Enable mode. Enter the first system ID that was discovered in
Step 15 for the password, excluding the leading *. The prompt changes to console#.
Step 16
Enter the command show cluster-bus-ip to check if the spread communication among cluster members
is set to broadcast.
console# show cluster-bus-ip
Processing...
MG-1: [Broadcast]
CE-1: [Broadcast]
CE-2: [Broadcast]
CE-3: [Broadcast]
CE-4: [Broadcast]
CE-5: [Broadcast]
CE-6: [Broadcast]
CE-7: [Broadcast]
CE-8: [Broadcast]
OK. All the CEs are configured to work with Broadcast IP.
Step 17
If the communication is set to broadcast, continue on to the Installing the License section. If the
communication is set to multicast instead of broadcast, enter the command config to switch to
Configuration mode and then enter the command cluster-bus-ip broadcast. For example:
configuration# cluster-bus-ip broadcast
Processing...
All the CEs are configured to work with Broadcast IP.
Step 18
Enter the command exit to exit the Configuration mode.
Step 19
Enter the command show cluster-bus-ip to confirm that the management server and all cache engines
are configured to use broadcast. For example:
console# show cluster-bus-ip
Processing...

Installing the License
After importing the configuration file you need to install a valid license. After you obtain a valid VDS
TC license from Cisco use this procedure to install the VDS TC license:
Procedure
Step 1
Copy the license file to the /tftpboot/ folder on the VDS TC Management Server using SFTP software,
such as WinSCP.
Step 2
To import the license file to the system from the VDS TC Enable mode CLI, enter the command
license import 127.0.0.1 filename, where filename is the license file name, such as
0000000-5.7-CISCO_UCS220-License_20150913_190733.xml. When you enter this command, the
details of the license will be displayed. Verify the features of the license and the expiration date.
Note
You must be in Enable mode, not Configuration mode to import a new license.
For example:
console# license import 127.0.0.1 0000000-5.7-CISCO_UCS220-License_20150913_190733.xml
Step 3
To activate the imported license, enter the command license activate. Enter Y when prompted to confirm
the activation.
Step 4
After activating the license, exit completely from the VDS TC CLI.
Step 5
To confirm that the license is activated, log back into the CLI of the system using the username admin.
From the VDS TC CLI prompt, enter the command enable. When prompted, enter the Enable mode
password and press Enter. Enter the command show license to confirm that the license is activated.
Note
If you see the message “No valid license found”, make sure that you exit completely from the CLI of the
VDS TC system and repeat Step 5.
Step 6
Enter the command oper service start to start the VDS TC service.
Step 7
To confirm that the VDS TC service has successfully started, enter the command show status and look
for a device state of “started”.
