CHAPTER 5 Installing Media Flow Manager

Before Installing Media Flow Manager

The procedure for installing Media Flow Manager is very different from that for installing Media
Flow Controller. However, much of the information in the previous chapters of this book apply,
with the exception of the cache directives and Ethernet naming guidelines (Media Flow
Manager does not handle traffic, it is only a management device). If necessary, review this
information:

While the software is installing, at times no progress indicator is given while formatting the
drives. Please be patient.
1. Put in the CD-ROM, or plug in the USB drive, and reboot the machine from the installation
media.
2. Type the following command to get the Media Flow Manager image file installed.
using PXE, follow this command with the URL of the image file.
install-mfm
The end-user license agreement (EULA) is displayed.

cancelled; or again to see the EULA again. The following message is displayed:

Media Flow Manager platform now on the local disk. The installation completes and an
"unconfigured" prompt is displayed:

configure your BIOS to PXE boot. We recommend connecting the console to the terminal
