Do I need RME for a VMS install?

[msmitha]

I'm installing Cisco VMS 2.2 on Solaris and would be using only three applications - IDSMC, PIXMC and Security Monitor. In this setup, would I need RME (Resource manager essentials)? I noticed that in the list of supported devices for RME 3.5, I did not see any mention for PIXes or IDSes.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Nope, RME is not needed in this case as it is a stand-alone application with respect to the VMS MC's. However, if you think you may want to install RME down the road, you may want to go ahead and install CD One (before Common Services and the MC's) as CD One is required for RME functionality. Hope this makes sense.

What you would be using it for, you don't need to install RME.
