Cisco Systems OL-13599-01 manual

Chapter 4 Installing the Operating System

Installing Windows 2000 Server by Using a Retail Windows Server 2000 Disc

Caution Do not attach the network cable to the server until you have installed the Microsoft service packs and updates recommended for use with Cisco Unity. The Cisco Unity installation guide alerts you when to install the service packs and updates, and when to connect to the network later in the installation process.

To Install Windows 2000 Server by Using the Manufacturer’s Guided System-Setup Utility and a Retail

Windows 2000 Disc

Step 1 Start the Cisco Unity server, and insert the manufacturer disc in the DVD drive.

Step 2 Follow the on-screen prompts to install Windows 2000 Server from a retail disc.

You may be prompted to configure the RAID arrays. Note the following considerations:

•If the arrays have already been configured, do not change the configuration.

•If the arrays have not been configured, follow the prompts to configure them. Refer to the manufacturer documentation.

Step 3 When applicable, make the following choices:

•Specify a partition size of 12 GB for the operating system.

•If you are installing Windows 2000 Server on the same partition where an operating system is already installed, select and delete that partition.

•Format the operating system partition by using the NTFS file system.

•For regional settings, select a locale in the Your Locale (Location) list. The locale you select must match one of the system-prompts languages that you will install for Cisco Unity. Note that Cisco Unity Setup always installs the English (United States) system prompts.

For a list of supported system-prompts languages, refer to the “Available Languages for Cisco Unity Components” section in the applicable version of Release Notes for Cisco Unity at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.

Caution If the locale you specify when you install Windows 2000 Server does not match any of the installed Cisco Unity system-prompts languages, Cisco Unity will log errors in the event log and may stop taking calls. The locale you select here must match the Cisco Unity system-prompt language exactly. For example, if you choose English (United Kingdom) for locale, you must also choose English (United Kingdom) as one of the Cisco Unity system-prompts languages. Installing the system prompts for English (Australia) will not work.

•Specify Per Seat for the licensing mode.

•When you enter a name for the Cisco Unity server (netBIOS name), use only alphabetical characters A to Z and a to z, numerical characters 0 to 9, and hyphens (-).

Caution Using other characters in the server name is not supported by DNS.

If there is more than one Cisco Unity server in an Active Directory forest, give each Cisco Unity server a name that is unique in the first 14 characters, or Cisco Unity will have problems communicating with the Active Directory accounts that it creates. For example, the following names would cause communication problems: CiscoUnitySrvr1 and CiscoUnitySrvr2.
