About the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager Installation

The following information is important to consider before installing Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.

Topics in this section include:

•Supported External Database Types

•Using an LDAP Database

•Port Considerations

•System Requirements

Supported External Database Types

You can configure Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager to use any of the following external database servers. You must install the external server before installing Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.

•Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition

•Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition

Note For an internal MySQL database, make sure to uninstall any previous MySQL versions. Do not install the MS SQL database on the same machine as Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.

Login Information Requirements

Login information must comply with the following requirements

•Number of characters in database name is less than 32

•Number of characters in username is less than 16

•Number of characters in password is less than 12

Using an LDAP Database

If you select an LDAP database, a non-LDAP administrator account is created to ensure that if any issue arises with the LDAP server setup, the non-LDAP administrator retains access to Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager in order to be able to fix any problems that may arise.

Port Considerations

The term port refers to the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager connection to an endpoint.

Examples of Port Usage

Different situations require different port usage, as shown in the following examples

•A meeting with five participating endpoints uses five ports.

•A call via a gateway to an MCU uses one port.

•A meeting spans multiple MCUs for bandwidth optimization, therefore an additional port is required on each MCU for cascading.

•A meeting spans two MCUs with three participating endpoints on the first MCU and four participants on the second MCU. Nine ports (7 endpoints + 2 MCUs) are required.

Port Assignment

The default installation port for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager is port 8080. On certain platforms, certain applications such as the Internet Information Services Web Server (IIS), also use port 8080.

To avoid a port conflict, before installing Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager, disable the specific application that occupies port 8080 or install Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager on a port other than port 8080.

System Requirements

Hardware Requirements

To ensure a consistent operating environment for Cisco Unified applications, all new installations of Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager must be installed on a Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) 7825 Unified CallManager Appliance. This includes the following product IDs:

•MCS-7825-I1-RC1

•MCS-7825-H1-RC1

The Cisco MCS is a Microsoft Windows software-based server. It is not shipped with an installed operating system. A Cisco Systems version of Microsoft Windows 2000 Server is provided on a CD-ROM and shipped with the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager software application that will run on the Cisco MCS hardware.
