Chapter 3 Installing Web Conferencing for a Segmented Meeting Access Configuration

Preinstallation Tasks: Web Conferencing in an SMA-2S Configuration

About the SMA-2S Configuration and Video-Enabled Systems

In a Segmented Meeting Access-2 Server (SMA-2S) deployment, note the following considerations:

If the Video Integration is deployed on the internal web server, users can schedule internal video-enabled meetings from the web. Requests to schedule external video meetings are denied. (In this case, users must make sure the Allow External Web Participants parameter on the New Meeting scheduling page is set to No.)

If the Video Integration is deployed on the external web server, users can schedule external video meetings from the web. Requests to schedule internal video meetings are denied. (In this case, users must make sure the Allow External Web Participants parameter on the New Meeting scheduling page is set to Yes.)

Preinstallation Tasks: Web Conferencing in an SMA-2S Configuration

Note If you are installing either an internal cluster or external cluster as part of your SMA-2S deployment, see Chapter 4, “Installing Web Conferencing in a Load Balancing Configuration” and follow the follow the preinstallation, installation, and post-installation tasks in that chapter rather than the tasks in this chapter.

Before attempting to install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, refer to System Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_installation_guides_list.html for updated system requirements.

After reviewing system requirements, complete the following preinstallation tasks:

1.Install and configure the Audio Server, which will be used by both the internal and external servers. See the “Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server” section on page 2-2.

2.Determine the licenses needed for Web Conferencing. See the “Planning Web Conferencing License Usage” section on page 2-2.

3.Determine the SQL Server instances that the internal and external Web Conferencing servers will be using. SQL Server can be installed locally on the web server or remotely on a separate, dedicated SQL server; however, the internal and external Web Conferencing servers must use separate SQL Server instances.

For the internal server, complete the following tasks:

4.If you will be using a remote SQL Server instance for the internal server, install it. See the “Installing SQL Server on a Remote Server” section on page 2-2.

5.Gather the values needed for the installation of the internal server. This must be a Cisco MCS inside your private corporate network. See the “Gathering Web Conferencing Installation Values” section on page 2-3

For the external server, complete the following tasks:

6.If you will be using a remote SQL Server instance for the external server, install it. See the “Installing SQL Server on a Remote Server” section on page 2-2.
