Chapter 4 Installing Web Conferencing in a Load Balancing Configuration

Installation Tasks: Web Conferencing in a Load Balancing Configuration

Step 3 Configure the shared storage for this web server by performing the following sub-steps:

a.On the Web Conferencing server, open a web browser and browse to http://localhost:8002. When you access this URL on the server, you are automatically signed in to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing as a technician.

b.Click Admin, then Shared Storage.

c.In the appropriate fields, enter a domain, username, and password for a Windows account that will be used to access the shared storage location. If the account is a local account, enter the machine name in the Domain field.

Note All Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing services will be configured to "Log On As" the account you choose in this sub-step.

d.Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password field.

e.Click Save Changes.

f.To put the changes into effect, click Reboot Server, then click OK to confirm the reboot. The server shuts down and restarts.

Step 4 Repeat this procedure until you have installed all of your internal web servers.

Step 5 Continue with the “Copying GUIDS from the Internal to the External Web Server” section on page 4-11.

Copying GUIDS from the Internal to the External Web Server

The GUIDS entries for site and system must match between internal and external web servers. Make sure that you run the GUIDS.reg file on each external web server before installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing.

Caution You must complete this step before running the Web Conferencing installer on the external web server. If this step is skipped or completed incorrectly, Presentation mode will not work for internal users in external meetings, and recovering from this problem requires that you rebuild the SQL Server database.

Before You Begin

Complete installing and configuring at least one internal Cisco Unified MeetingPlace web server.

To Copy GUIDS from the Internal to the External Web Server

Step 1 Copy the GUIDS.reg file from the first internal web server (located in drive:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\MPWeb).

Step 2 Place the GUIDS.reg file in the first external web server’s drive:\Temp directory.

Step 3 On the external web server, double-click the GUIDS.reg file to install it.

Step 4 When prompted to add the information from the GUIDS.reg file to the registry, click OK. Step 5 Continue with the “Installing the First External Web Server” section on page 4-12.
