To Install the First External Web Server

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, choose the applicable option:

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 reboot your computer later, then click Finish.

Step 2 Configure the shared storage for this web server by performing the following sub-steps:

a.Open your web browser to access the Web Conferencing home page.

b.Use your System Manager-level user ID and password to sign in.

c.Click Admin, then Shared Storage.

g.In the appropriate fields, enter a domain, username, and password for a Windows account that will be used to access the shared storage location. If the account is a local account, enter the machine name in the Domain field.

Note All Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing services will be configured to "Log On As" the account you choose in this sub-step.

h.Re-enter the password in the Confirm Password field.

i.Click Save Changes.
