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

Procedure

Step 1 Install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing on the first web server in your external cluster.

For Server Location, choose External (Limited Access).

For Database Location, do one of the following:

If the SQL Server is installed locally, choose Local server.

If there is a full SQL Server installed elsewhere, choose Existing remote server

When you reach the final installer window, choose to restart your computer later; then, click Finish.

Step 2 Copy and paste the GUIDS.reg file.

a.Navigate to drive:\Temp.

b.Copy the GUIDS.reg file.

c.Paste the GUIDS.reg file in drive:\Program Files\Cisco Systems\MPWeb. This replaces the GUIDS.reg file that the installer created.

d.For changes to take effect, restart your server.

Step 3 Configure the attachment location and SSL option for the web server:

a.Open your browser and enter http://server/mpweb/admin/ where server is the name of the external web server that you want to access.

b.Sign in by using your System Manager-level user ID and password.

c.Click Admin; then, Web Server.

d.From the “View” section of the page, choose the web server that you want to modify. Information about this server populates the “Edit” section of the page.

e.For Attachment Location, enter the path of the common storage location in the form of a UNC path, that is, \\servername\sharedfolder\MPWeb\Meetings.

This is the value you entered in Step 2 of the “Preparing the External Cluster” section on page 4-10.

f.For Require SSL, indicate if this web server is configured for an SSL connection (https://) by choosing Yes, No, or Either.

Either means that this web server can support both SSL and non-SSL connections.

For more information about SSL, see the “How to Configure Secure Sockets Layer” section in Chapter 6 of the Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.

g.Click Submit and close your browser.

Step 4 Proceed to the “Configuring Services for the First External Web Server” section on page 4-16.
