Installing the Operating System

Procedure

Step 1 Locate the operating system installation disk.

Step 2 Insert the disk and then power up the server. You must boot from this disk to begin installing the operating system.

Tip The first time that you start up a new server, you do not see any indication that the startup process is operating normally. The startup on a new server takes longer than on preinstalled servers. You may wait as long as 3 minutes before a video connection occurs.

Do not remove the disk unless the procedure or process prompts you to do so.

Step 3 When a message displays that states that all existing configuration and information on the hard drive will be lost, click OK to continue the installation.

Step 4 A message that states that the installation is transferring the operating system image to the server displays. This process takes approximately 15 minutes. You can either click OK or wait for the installation program to start transferring the image by showing the percentage that is complete. The system reboots automatically after the image transfer completes.

Step 5 The License Agreement window displays. Read through the contents of the agreement. To continue the installation, you must click I Accept this agreement; then, click Next.

Step 6 The Personalize Your Software window displays. Enter your name and the name of your company or organization. Click Next.

Step 7 The Computer Name and Administrator Password window displays. Enter the computer name in the computer name field and the administrator password in the administrator password field. Enter the same password in the Confirm Password field. Click Next.

Caution Failure to adhere to the naming convention for computer names results in an inoperable Cisco Unified CallManager system and a loss of configuration and data on the Cisco Unified CallManager publisher database server. For information on the naming convention, see the “Computer Name” section on page 9.

Tip If you leave the password fields blank, you cannot install any Cisco Unified Communications applications on the server. To ensure that you enter the appropriate password, verify the Num Lock status before you enter the password. Make sure that you enter the same password on all servers in the cluster.

The installation automatically enables screen saver password protection. You can disable the screen saver password protection by unchecking the Password-protected check box on the screen saver tab in the Display Property Configuration window.

Step 8 The Date and Time Settings window displays. Set the current date and time. Choose the appropriate time zone. To adjust the time zone for daylight saving time, check the check box in the Time Zone pane. Click

Next.
