Frequently Asked Questions About the Operating System Installation

Which Cisco Unified Communications applications may I install on the same server as Cisco Unified CallManager?

Consider the following information before you install other software besides Cisco Unified CallManager on the Cisco MCS or the Cisco-approved, customer-provided server:

•The system does not support Cisco Unity on a server that runs this version of the operating system.

•To identify the Cisco Unified Communications applications that you can install on the Cisco Unified CallManager server, see “Which Cisco Unified Communications applications use the Cisco Unified Communications operating system?” section on page 8.

•Cisco strongly recommends that you install a security agent to protect your servers against unauthorized intrusion. Cisco offers the following security agent options: Cisco Security Agent (CSA) for Unified CallManager and Management Center for Cisco Security Agent (CSA MC).

CSA for Cisco Unified CallManager comprises a standalone agent and security policy that is designed to be used on all servers in the voice cluster. Because the policy that this agent includes is configured specifically for Cisco Unified CallManager and other Cisco Unified Communications applications, you cannot update or view it. You can download the agent from

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cmva-3des.

If you want to add, change, delete, or view rules and policies that CSA for Cisco Unified CallManager includes, or if you want to add support for non-Cisco approved, third-party applications, you must purchase and install the fully managed console, CSA MC. CSA MC requires a separate, dedicated server to be used as the management center. This management center allows you to create agent kits that are then distributed to agents that are installed on other network systems and servers.

To access information on Cisco Security Agent, see Table 2 on page 5.

Caution If you are uncertain whether a Cisco Unified Communications application is supported on the server, do not install it. Before you install the application, always review the application documentation for recommended configurations and installations.

May I run a web browser on the server?

Cisco strongly recommends that you do not run a web browser on the Cisco MCS or a Cisco-approved, customer-provided server. Cisco approved, customer-provided servers must adhere to exact server configurations. See Table 2 for references to documents on server hardware specification.

Running a web browser on the server causes CPU usage to surge; access the server by using a web browser from another computer on the same network.
