Restrictions

When installing two or more web servers that share a single database and point to the same Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system, the MeetingPlace Server hostname that you specify during the installation of all web servers must match. By default if the MeetingPlace Server hostnames do not match, a second site is created with a WebConnect configuration.

Step 1 Copy the GUIDS.reg file from the first internal web server to the next machine in your internal cluster:

a.Copy the drive:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\MPWeb\GUIDS.reg file from the first server.

b.Place the GUIDS.reg file in the next web server’s drive:\Temp directory.

c.On the next web server, double-click the GUIDS.reg file to install it.

d.When prompted to add the information from the GUIDS.reg file to the registry, click OK.

Step 2 Install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing on the next machine in your internal cluster.

For Server Location, choose Internal (Full Access).

For Database Location, choose Existing remote server and specify the SQL Server that you used in the “Installing the First Internal Web Server” section on page 4-9.
