Preinstallation Tasks: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 in a Load Balancing Configuration

Note Enter different values for your internal and external clusters.

Step 2 Determine and create a common storage location.

•You can create this folder on the same machine as your first internal web server, or on a separate machine. Keep in mind that this common storage location is where attachments are stored and, therefore, where all web servers in this cluster go to find attachments. For more information, see the “Creating a Common Storage Location” section on page 4-11.

•Enter this value in the space provided as a UNC path, that is, \\servername\shared folder\MPWeb\Meetings.

•Common storage location (attachments):___________________________________________

Step 3 (Optional) Determine common storage locations for audio files.

•If you are doing audio conversions, we recommend that you separate the encoded audio files from the rest of the meeting’s associated attachments by determining common storage locations for the audio files.

•When created, change these folders to “shared folder” status and enter the locations below.

•Common storage locations (audio files): ___________________________________________

•Windows Media:______________________________________________________________

•MP3:_______________________________________________________________________

Preparing the External Cluster

Before You Begin

(Optional) Read Chapter 3, “Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing for a Segmented Meeting Access Configuration” to understand the difference between internal and external servers.

Procedure

Step 1 Determine and create a common domain Windows administration account.

•This account is used by all of the web servers in this cluster. It starts Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing services and allows all web servers in this cluster to access the shared storage location using a UNC path.

•After creating this account, enter the value here:______________________________________

Note Enter different values for your internal and external clusters.

Step 2 Determine and create a common storage location.

•You can create this folder on the same machine as your first external web server, or on another machine. Keep in mind that this common storage location is where attachments are stored and, therefore, where all web servers in this cluster go to find attachments. For more information, see the “Creating a Common Storage Location” section on page 4-11.
