Important Considerations

Before you proceed with the Cisco CallManager installation, consider the following requirements and recommendations:

Install the Cisco CallManager software on the publisher server first and then on the subscriber server(s).

You cannot add a subscriber server to a cluster by installing a previous version of Cisco CallManager and then upgrading the subscriber server to the same version that is running on the publisher server. If you are adding a new subscriber server or replacing a subscriber server on the cluster, you must use the installation CDs with the same Cisco CallManager version that is running on the publisher server.

Make sure that you are logged in as the administrator on the server before starting the Cisco CallManager installation.

Install the Cisco CallManager software on one server at a time to ensure that subscriber servers can receive replicate copies of the database from the publisher database server.

Make sure that the subscriber server that you are installing can connect to the publishing database server during the installation.

Do not choose cancel once you start the installation. If you choose cancel, you will need to reimage your machine by reinstalling the operating system.

Because security settings for the Cisco CallManager server are set up by the installation and upgrade script, do not make any adjustments to these predefined settings, or you may experience a significant impact to the functionality of your server.

When entering passwords for the local Administrator and SA (SQL Server system administrator) accounts, use alphanumeric characters only.

Enter the same administrator password on all servers in the cluster.

Install the Cisco CallManager software during off-peak hours or a maintenance window to avoid impact from call-processing interruptions.

Do not implement multiple servers in a Cisco CallManager cluster by using a drive that was mirrored or cloned from a single Cisco CallManager server. Servers that are using cloned drives have duplicate Security ID (SID) which can render the Cisco CallManager system inoperable. You must install the Cisco IP telephony operating system and Cisco CallManager software separately on each server by using the Cisco-provided installation disks.

Do not configure any server in the cluster as a Domain Controller.

Place the server in a Workgroup before you install the software.

To ensure that the server obtains a fixed IP address and that the Cisco IP Phones can register with the application when you plug the phones into the network, use a static IP address when you configure the server.

Do not attempt to perform any configuration tasks during the installation.

Do not use terminal services to install the Cisco CallManager software

Do not install any Cisco-verified applications until you complete installing Cisco CallManager on every server in the cluster.

Cisco provides support for a limited set of applications on the servers where Cisco CallManager is installed. If you are uncertain whether a third-party application is supported, do not install it on the server.

You must disable third-party, Cisco-verified applications on your servers before starting the Cisco CallManager installation.

Install a security agent to protect your servers against unauthorized intrusion.

Do not install Cisco Unity on a server where Cisco CallManager is installed.

Installing or using Netscape Navigator on the Cisco MCS or the Cisco-approved, customer-provided server causes severe performance problems.

Carefully read the discussion that follows before you proceed with the installation

Frequently Asked Questions About the Cisco CallManager Installation

Review the following questions and responses before you complete the Cisco CallManager installation.

How long does it take to perform the Cisco CallManager installation?

The entire installation process, excluding pre-/post-installation tasks, takes 45 to 90 minutes per server, depending on your server type. Before you install Cisco CallManager, consider the size of your cluster.

How does the Cisco CallManager installation work?

Review the following information before you install Cisco CallManager.

Verifying the User Name, Organization Name, and Product Key

Cisco supplies you with a Cisco product key when you purchase a Cisco IP telephony product. The product key, based on a file encryption system, allows you to install only the components that you have purchased, and it prevents installation of other supplied software for general use. The product key comprises alphabetical letters only. It contains no numbers or special characters.

During the operating system installation, you entered the Cisco CallManager product key. The product key allows you to install Cisco CallManager on a server that is designated for Cisco CallManager only.

During the operating system installation, you registered the software product by entering a user and organization name.

During the Cisco CallManager installation, verify that the correct User Name, Organization Name, and product key display. See the latest version of the operating system documentation for more information.

Entering Passwords

During the Cisco CallManager installation, you must enter a valid password for the following accounts:

Windows NT Administrator account

If you plan to install Cisco CallManager on the Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS), you established this password during the operating system installation. If you left the password blank during the operating system installation, or if you enter the wrong password during the Cisco CallManager installation, you cannot install Cisco CallManager on the server.


Tip Verify that this password is the same on all servers in the cluster. If you change the passwords at any time, you must either log off and log in to the server again, or you must reboot the server and log in to the server.



Caution When entering passwords for the local Administrator and SA (SQL Server system administrator) accounts, enter alphanumeric characters only. The account password must match on every server in the cluster.

SA (SQL Server system administrator) account

Directory Manager (DC Directory) account

Private Password Phrase


Caution The installation prompts you for a Private Password Phrase. The installation uses the string that you enter to create a unique, encrypted password. You must enter the same phrase on all servers in the cluster.

Installing the Publisher Database or Subscriber Server

When you install Cisco CallManager, you must determine whether the server will be configured as a publishing database server or a subscriber database server. In a Cisco CallManager distributed system, one server maintains the master, or publisher, database, and all other servers in the cluster maintain subscriber databases. Subscriber databases provide copies of the master database. During normal operation, all Cisco CallManagers in the cluster read data from and write data to the publisher database. Periodically, Cisco CallManager automatically updates the subscriber databases as needed.

Cisco requires that you first install the publisher database server, so authentication to the database occurs. This decision designates a permanent selection. If you want to reassign the database server type at a later date, you must reinstall Cisco CallManager on the server and choose a different database server type.


Caution If you are configuring a subscriber database server, make sure that the publishing database server for that cluster is installed, connected to the network, and configured properly to work as a distributed system.When configuring a subscriber database server, ensure that the server that you are installing can connect to the publishing database server during the installation. This connection facilitates copying the publisher database from the publisher database server to the local drive on the subscriber server. You must supply the name of the publishing database server and the password for the administrator account on that server. If for any reason the publisher server cannot be authenticated during the installation, the installation will not continue.

You must install one server at a time, or the subscriber servers cannot receive copies of the database from the publisher database server.

During the installation, the following software installs:

Sun Microsystem Java Runtime Environment (JRE) (if required)

Microsoft SQL Server 2000

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a (or later)

DC Directory

Cisco CallManager

Installing Cisco CallManager Components and Services

The Cisco CallManager installation automatically installs all services that display in the Service Activation window of Cisco CallManager Serviceability. These services install on every server in the cluster. To review a list of installed services, service definitions, and service considerations, refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide and the Cisco CallManager Serviceability System Guide.

The Cisco CallManager installation places services in an inactive state until the installation completes. After the installation completes, you must manually activate the service on each server in which you want the service to run. For information on activating services, refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide and the Cisco CallManager Serviceability System Guide.

Providing Configuration Information

Table 2 shows the information that is required for installing Cisco CallManager on your server. Complete all fields unless otherwise noted. Gather this information for each Cisco CallManager server that you are installing in the cluster. Make copies of this table and record your entries for each server in a separate table. Locate these lists before you begin the installation.

Caution If you change any security or account policies from the default, the installation may fail. For more information on security and account policies, refer to Microsoft documentation.

May I install other software besides Cisco CallManager on the server?


Caution Cisco strongly recommends that you do not install any Cisco-verified applications until you complete the installation on every server in the cluster. If you do not know whether the application is approved for installation, do not install it on the server. Installing unsupported software on the server could cause severe performance problems and call-processing interruptions.

Cisco supports a limited list of applications on the Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) or Cisco-approved, customer-provided server. Consider the following information before you install Cisco CallManager:

You may install Cisco-verified applications [Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data) Partner Applications], but you must disable and stop these applications before the Cisco CallManager installation and then reboot the server. Disable and stop these applications during installation, restoration, and upgrade procedures.

Installing or using Netscape Navigator on the Cisco MCS or a Cisco-approved, customer-provided server causes severe performance problems. Cisco strongly recommends against installing Netscape Navigator or any other application software on the Cisco MCS or Cisco-approved customer-provided server.

Cisco strongly recommends that you install a security agent to protect your servers against unauthorized intrusion. Cisco offers two security agent options: Cisco Security Agent (CSA) for Cisco CallManager and Management Center for Cisco Security Agent (CSA MC). For more information, see the "Performing Postinstallation Tasks" section.

You may perform a co-resident installation of Cisco CallManager and Cisco Customer Response Solutions (CRS) on the same server. Refer to the CRS installation documentation to obtain the co-resident installation product key.

Do not install Cisco Unity on any server where Cisco CallManager is installed.

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 any Cisco-approved customer-provided server. Running a web browser on the server causes CPU usage to surge.

To access Cisco CallManager Administration, which is the web-based graphical user interface (GUI) that allows you to perform Cisco CallManager configuration tasks, use a different PC to browse in to the Cisco CallManager server that is running Cisco CallManager Administration and log in with administrative privileges.


Tip To browse into the server, enter http://<CM-server-name>/CCMAdmin/main.asp, where <CM-server-name> equals the name of the server, in the Address bar in the web browser.


May I configure a server in the cluster as a Domain Controller?

Cisco strongly recommends that you do not configure any server in the cluster as a Domain Controller. If you configure any server in the cluster as a Domain Controller, you cannot upgrade or reinstall Cisco CallManager on the server.

What if I encounter problems during the installation?

If you encounter problems during the installation, Cisco recommends that you take the following actions:

1. During the installation if you receive an error message that displays in a dialog box, see the "Installation Messages" section and perform the recommended corrective action.

2. On the server where the problem occurred, obtain and review the log file, ccminst <data/time stamp>.log, from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cisco\Logs.

Be aware that not all error messages that display in the log file are catastrophic. MSI generates error messages in the log file for many reasons; for example, attempts to access a service that Cisco CallManager does not use.

What preinstallation tasks should I perform?

For preinstallation tasks that you must complete before the installation, see Table 3.

Table 3 Preinstallation Tasks 

Step
Preinstallation Tasks
Important Notes

Step 1 

Plan your system configuration.You can distribute the call-processing load for your system across multiple Cisco CallManagers as a single cluster. A cluster comprises a set of Cisco CallManagers that share the same database.

At a minimum, you should determine how many Cisco CallManager servers the cluster will contain, which server will house the publisher database, and where backup tasks will be performed. Additional planning should include a strategy for distributing the devices (such as phones or gateways) among the Cisco CallManagers in the cluster to achieve the type of distribution that you want.

Determine whether each server will act as a dedicated or co-resident server.

In a Cisco CallManager distributed system, one server maintains the master, or publisher, database, and all other servers in the cluster maintain subscriber databases. Subscriber databases provide copies of the master database. During normal operation, all Cisco CallManagers in the cluster read data from and write data to the publisher database. Periodically, Cisco CallManager automatically updates the subscriber copies of the database from the publisher database.

For more information on planning a Cisco CallManager distributed system, refer to the Cisco CallManager System Guide.

If you are installing a dedicated server, locate the Cisco CallManager product key in this document. If you are installing Cisco CallManager on a co-resident server, refer to the specific Cisco IP telephony application installation documentation for the co-resident product key.

Step 2 

This task applies for reinstallations.

Configure the server to the state of the original configuration.

If you have hot-swappable drives, make sure that you inserted the appropriate drives into the server and ensure that the drives are functional. Remove any additional hard drives that are in the server.

Step 3 

Make sure that you installed the operating system version 2000.2.3 (or later) on all dedicated and coresident servers.

If you are installing Cisco CallManager on the Cisco MCS, refer to Installing the Operating System on the Cisco Media Convergence Server. To obtain the most recent version of this document, go to Table 1.


Caution Cisco strongly recommends that you do not install any operating system service release until you install Cisco CallManager on every server in the cluster.

Step 4 

If you installed operating system version 2000.2.3 or 2000.2.4, use the Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System OS/BIOS Upgrade Disk that came with the software kit or the OS upgrade file from the web to upgrade the operating system to version 2000.2.7 or later.

Before you perform the upgrade, be sure to read the operating system readme information that is posted on the operating system cryptographic software site. You can navigate to the site from the Cisco CallManager software site at Table 1.

Step 5 

Download and install the latest Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System service release.

The operating system service releases post on the voice products operating system cryptographic software site. You can navigate to the site from the Cisco CallManager software site.

For installation instructions, refer to the file-specific readme document, Cisco IP Telephony Operating System, SQL Server, Security Updates, and Installing the Operating System on the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server. To obtain the most recent version of these documents, go to Table 1.

Step 6 

Before you install Cisco CallManager, make sure that you removed all servers from a NT or an Active Directory Domain.

See the "How do I remove the servers from a domain and join a workgroup?" section.

Step 7 

Connect the server(s) to the network.

See the "How do I connect the server to the network?" section.

Step 8 

If your server supports the Cisco Media Convergence Server Network Teaming Driver, you can install and configure this driver, if you choose to do so.

To obtain the installation and configuration document, see Table 1.

Step 9 

About Disabling Cisco-verified Applications

This step applies if you need to reinstall Cisco CallManager.

If you have Cisco-verified applications (Cisco AVVID Partner Applications) or platform agents that are installed on the server, you must disable and stop the services.

The following applications/platform agents may interfere with the Cisco CallManager installation:

Antivirus services

Intrusion detection services

NetIQ services

OEM server agents

Server management agents

VOIP monitoring/performance monitoring

Remote access/remote management agents

About Disabling McAfee Antivirus Services

Before you perform Cisco CallManager installation procedures, you must disable and stop all Cisco-approved McAfee antivirus services. You can enable all antivirus services after you complete the procedures.

Cisco strongly recommends that you do not install any Cisco-verified applications until you have completed the installation on every server in the cluster.


Caution Reboot the server after you disable and stop these applications. Do not start the applications until you complete the Cisco CallManager installation on every server in the cluster. Before you start the installation, verify that none of the services is running.

Step 10 

Locate Table 2, which provides specific information that you need to install Cisco CallManager.

See Table 2.


How do I remove the servers from a domain and join a workgroup?

Convert any servers that exist in the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain by performing the following procedure:

Procedure


Step 1 Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > System.

Step 2 Click the Network Identification tab.

Step 3 Click the Properties button.

Step 4 Click the Workgroup radio button and enter a name, for example, WRKGRP, in the corresponding field.

Step 5 Click OK.

Step 6 When prompted to do so, reboot the server.

Step 7 Log in using the Administrator password.

Step 8 Perform this procedure on every server in the cluster that exists in the NT Domain.

Step 9 Go to the Domain Controller and remove the computer accounts for the Cisco CallManager servers in the cluster.


How do I connect the server to the network?

Before you begin the installation, make sure that you connect your server to the network.

The servers in Table 4 contain two network interface cards (NIC), but the Cisco IP telephony application supports only one NIC. When you connect the server to the network, use the NIC connector that is listed in Table 4 because the other NIC is automatically disabled during the installation.


Note You can implement NIC teaming on servers that support the network teaming driver. For information, refer to the Installing the Cisco Media Convergence Server Network Teaming Driver at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/iptel_os/driver/hp_team.htm.

Performing the Cisco CallManager Release 3.3 Installation

See the following procedures to complete the Cisco CallManager installation:

Installing Cisco CallManager on the Publisher Database Server

Installing Cisco CallManager on Subscriber Database Server(s)

Install the Cisco CallManager Service Release (when available on cisco.com)

Installing Cisco CallManager on the Publisher Database Server

Item Needed: Cisco CallManager Installation and Recovery Disk

For the publisher database server, the installation takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the server type. Use the following procedure to perform the installation.


Note You may experience multiple reboots during installation and you may need to manually restart the installation program and reenter the configuration data in order for Cisco CallManager to install the required critical third-party components.



Caution The installation procedure prompts you to remove the Cisco CallManager Installation and Recovery Disk. Do not remove the disk unless the installation procedure directs you to do so.

Procedure


Step 1 After you install the operating system and log in to the server by using the Administrator account and password, obtain the Cisco CallManager Installation and Recovery Disk and insert it into the drive when you are prompted to do so.

Step 2 To acknowledge that you disabled and stopped or uninstalled all Cisco-verified applications, click Yes.

Step 3 To confirm that you might be prompted to reboot the server and reenter configuration data multiple times for Cisco CallManager to install critical third-party components, click OK.

Step 4 When the Welcome to Installation window displays, click Next.

Step 5 Accept the Cisco CallManager license agreement by clicking the I accept the terms in the license agreement radio button; then, click Next.

Step 6 In the Customer Information window, the User Name and Organization that you entered during the operating system installation automatically display.

Cisco automatically populates the product (CD) key fields with the product key that you entered during the operating system installation. Click Next.

Step 7 In the Setup Type window, the Complete button is chosen; click Next.

Step 8 Cisco requires that you install Cisco CallManager on the publisher database server first, so authentication can occur between the publisher database and subscriber servers.

In the Server Type window, the Publisher is chosen; click Next.


Note The publisher database server serves as the master database for all servers in the cluster. All servers except the publishing database server maintain subscriber databases, which are copies of the publisher database server. If you are configuring a subscriber database server, make sure that the server that you are installing can connect to the publishing database server before the installation can continue. The installation process necessitates this connection, so the publisher database server can be copied to the local drive on the subscriber server. To make sure a good connection exists between the servers, issue a ping command from the subscriber server to the publisher database server before you try to authenticate to it. If you are using Domain Name System (DNS), use a fully qualified domain name (for example, `hostname.cisco.com') with the ping command. If the ping command is not successful, you must exit the installation program, fix the problem, and begin the installation process again.

Installing Cisco CallManager on Subscriber Database Server(s)

Item Needed: Cisco CallManager Installation and Recovery Disk

After you install Cisco CallManager on the publisher database server, you install the application on the subscriber database servers. For each subscriber database server, the installation takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the server type.


Caution Perform the installation on one server at a time. This process ensures that the subscriber server(s) can receive a copy of the database from the publisher database server.


Caution The installation procedure prompts you to remove the Cisco CallManager Installation and Recovery Disk. Do not remove the disk unless the installation procedure directs you to do so.

Procedure


Step 1 After you install the operating system and log in to the server by using the Administrator account and password, obtain the Cisco CallManager Installation and Recovery Disk and insert it into the drive when you are prompted to do so.

The installation preparation takes approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Step 2 To acknowledge that you disabled/uninstalled all Cisco-verified applications, click Yes.

Step 3 To confirm that you might be prompted to reboot the server and reenter configuration data multiple times for Cisco CallManager to install critical third-party components, click OK.

Step 4 When the Welcome to Installation window displays, click Next.

Step 5 Accept the Cisco CallManager license agreement by clicking the I accept the terms in the license agreement radio button; then, click Next.

Step 6 In the Customer Information window, the User Name and Organization that you entered during the operating system installation automatically display.

Cisco automatically populates the product key fields with the product key that you entered during the operating system installation. Click Next.


Note The publisher database server functions as the master database for all servers in the cluster. All servers except the publishing database server maintain subscriber databases, which are copies of the publisher database server. If you are configuring a subscriber database server, make sure that the server that you are installing can connect to the publishing database server, so the installation can continue. The installation process necessitates this connection, so the publisher database server can be copied to the local drive on the subscriber server. To make sure a good connection exists between the servers, issue a ping command from the subscriber server to the publisher database server before you try to authenticate to it. If you are using Domain Name System (DNS), use a fully qualified domain name (for example, `hostname.cisco.com') with the ping command. In the status of the ping command, verify that the IP address that is displayed is the IP address of the publisher database server. If the ping command is not successful, you can also try to access the publisher database server from all subscriber servers by choosing Start > Run, entering \\<Publisher Server Name>\C$, and then by clicking OK. You do not need to enter a user name and password. Mapping to the drive without entering a user name and password ensures that the passwords on the publisher and subscriber servers match. If the subscriber database server cannot access the publisher server, you must exit the installation program, fix the problem, and begin the installation process again on the subscriber server.


Step 7 The Complete radio button is chosen; click Next.

Step 8 In the Server Type window, perform the following procedure:

a. Click the Subscriber radio button.

b. Enter the computer name of the publisher database server.


Caution If you enter the IP address or fully qualified DNS of the publisher database server, the installation fails.

c. Click Next.


Caution When entering passwords for the local Administrator and SA (SQL Server system administrator) accounts, enter alphanumeric characters only. The account password must match on every server in the cluster.

Step 9 In the Administrator password window, enter the local Windows administrator password.

This password must match the Windows administrator password that is used on the publisher database server.

Click Next.

Step 10 Enter the Private Password Phrase for the cluster; confirm the phrase, and click Next.

The private password phrase contains 1 to 15 characters. This phrase may contain English lower-case letters, English upper-case letters, westernized Arabic numerals, and the following non-alphanumeric special characters: { } . < > : ? / | \ ` ~ ! @ $ ^ & * ( ) _ - +.

This private password phrase must match the Private Password Phrase that you entered on the publisher database server.

Step 11 In the SQL Password window, perform the following procedure:

a. Enter the SA (SQL Server system administrator) password.

This password must match the SA password that is used on the publisher database server.

b. Press the Tab key.

c. To confirm the password, enter the password again; then, click Next.

Step 12 Now that the Cisco CallManager and other included software are ready to be installed, click Install. This part of the installation takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your server type.

The status bar in the window indicates the progression of the installation. Sun Microsystem JRE (if required), Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a (or later), DC Directory, and Cisco CallManager install. Continue to wait while the installation completes.

Step 13 When the Cisco CallManager installation completes, click Finish to exit the wizard.

Step 14 To restart the server, click Yes.

Step 15 After the server reboots, remove the disk from the drive.

Step 16 Log in using the Administrator account and password.

Step 17 After you install Cisco CallManager on all subscriber server(s), go to the "Performing Postinstallation Tasks" section.


Install the Cisco CallManager Service Release (when available on cisco.com)

After you install this version of Cisco CallManager on all servers in the cluster, Cisco strongly recommends that you install the latest Cisco CallManager service release on all servers in the cluster. These service releases provide additional bug fixes for your system.

Be aware that Cisco CallManager service releases are cumulative. Cisco rolls bug fixes into the next Cisco CallManager release.


Tip Make sure that you install the same version of the service release on every server in the cluster.


To obtain the latest Cisco CallManager service release, perform the following procedure:

Procedure


Step 1 Click http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-voice.shtml.

Step 2 Click Cisco CallManager Version 3.3.

Step 3 Locate and download the readme document for the service release.

The readme file provides procedures, caveats, and descriptive information for installing the files.

Step 4 Using the readme file as a reference, install the Cisco CallManager service release on every server in the cluster where Cisco CallManager is installed.

Step 5 Perform other postinstallation tasks.


Performing Postinstallation Tasks

After installing Cisco CallManager on your server, you must set some configuration parameters for Cisco CallManager and perform other post-installation tasks before you can begin using it. Perform these tasks for each server that you install and complete them before or after the other servers in the cluster are installed.

For post-installation tasks that you must complete after the installation, see Table 5.

Table 5 Postinstallation Tasks 

Postinstallation Tasks
Important Notes

Activate Cisco CallManager services that you want to run on each server in the cluster.


Caution Do not activate Cisco CallManager services in the Microsoft Services window or the Microsoft Computer Management window. You must activate Cisco CallManager services in Cisco CallManager Serviceability.

Refer to the following documents:

Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide

Cisco CallManager Serviceability System Guide

See the "Activating Cisco CallManager Services" section.

Configure DNS.

See the "Configuring DNS" section.

Configure the database.

See the "Configuring the Database" section.

To manage your system, install the backup utility that is available on the web and configure the backup settings.

Remember to back up your Cisco CallManager data daily.

Refer to Cisco IP Telephony Backup and Restore System (BARS) Administration Guide Version 4.0(2) (or later). To obtain the most recent version of this document, see Table 1.

See the following sections:

Downloading Service Releases and Hotfixes for Ongoing System Management

Viewing the Component Versions That Are Installed on the Server

If you want to do so, you can configure the trace drive for trace file collection on servers with four drives.

See the "Configuring Servers with Four Disk Drives to Collect Trace Files" section.

Install additional Music on Hold selections via disk or the web.

See the "Viewing the Component Versions That Are Installed on the Server" section.

If you want to do so, install and configure Cisco Customer Response Solutions (CRS) on the server.

Refer to the compatible CRS installation documentation.

The locale, English_United_States, installs automatically on the server. To upgrade existing locales or to add new locales to the server, install the Cisco IP Telephony Locale Installer.

You can obtain locale-specific versions of the Cisco IP Telephony Network Locale installer for Cisco CallManager 3.3(5) when they become available at

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/callmgr-locale-33

Cisco strongly recommends that you install a security agent to protect your servers against unauthorized intrusion. Cisco offers two security agent options. Both of these agents control system operations by using policies that allow or deny specific system actions before system resources are accessed.

Cisco Security Agent (CSA) for Cisco CallManager

CSA for Cisco CallManager provides a standalone agent and security policy that is designed to be used on all servers in the voice cluster. The policy that is included with this agent, which is configured specifically for Cisco CallManager and Customer Response Applications (CRA), cannot be updated or viewed. You can download the agent from CCO at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cmva-3des.

Management Center for Cisco Security Agent (CSA MC)

If you want to add, change, delete, or view rules and policies that CSA for Cisco 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.

Click the following URL to obtain the security agent documentation:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/sec_vir/index.htm

If you want to use Norton AntiVirus, install the application and perform post-installation tasks.

Refer to Using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus with Cisco CallManager.

If you disabled any third-party application, antivirus services, or security agents prior to installing Cisco CallManager, you must reenable it.

See the "Reenabling Third-Party Applications, Antivirus Services, and Security Agents" section.

If necessary, you can add a subscriber server to the cluster after the installation.

See the "Adding New Subscriber Servers to the Cluster After the Installation" section.

If necessary, you can replace the publisher database server.

See the "Replacing the Publisher Database Server After the Installation" section.

If you are administering Cisco CallManager servers from a PC that does not have Microsoft Java Machine, you will need to install and configure Sun Microsystems Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on the PC to ensure that Cisco CallManager Administration displays correctly.

MSJVM installed by default in all client workstation versions of the current Windows operating systems, except for the following versions:

Windows XP Professional with SP1 slipstreamed into the installation

Windows 2000 Server/Professional with SP4 slipstreamed into the installation

See the "Requirement for Installation of Java Virtual Machine" section and "JRE Installation" section.


Activating Cisco CallManager Services

Even though all Cisco CallManager services install on each server in the cluster, you must manually activate the services that you want to run on each server in the cluster.


Caution Do not start and stop Cisco CallManager services through the Microsoft Computer Management window or the Microsoft Services window. Starting and stopping Cisco CallManager services through these windows cause problems with the Cisco CallManager database.

You must activate Cisco CallManager services through Cisco CallManager Serviceability. For service recommendations and more information, refer to Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide and Cisco CallManager Serviceability System Guide.

Configuring DNS

Cisco strongly recommends that you configure DNS on every server in the cluster where Cisco CallManager is installed. Cisco uses DNS to resolve the server name to an IP address, so servers can interact in the cluster.


Caution When you configure DNS, make sure that you configure and enable the Reverse DNS Lookup function.

The DNS suffix for the connection field must contain the DNS domain information where the server exists as a member.

When multiple DNS domains exist in a single Cisco CallManager cluster or the Backup Network Directory Location exists in a different DNS domain, you must correctly enter the domain information in the Append these DNS suffixes (in order): field. If you need more information on domain naming conventions, refer to Installing the Operating System on the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server. To obtain the most recent version of this document, see Table 1.

To configure DNS after installing Cisco CallManager, perform the following steps:

Procedure


Step 1 Choose Start > Settings > Network and Dial-up Connections.

Step 2 Right-click Local Area Connection and choose Properties.

Step 3 Choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

Step 4 Click Properties.

Step 5 Click Advanced.

Step 6 Click the DNS tab.

Step 7 Click the Add button that is underneath the DNS server addresses in order of use pane.

Step 8 In the dialog box, enter the IP address of the DNS server and click Add.

Step 9 Check the Register the connection's address with DNS check box, if it is not already checked.

Step 10 Click OK.

Step 11 Perform this procedure on every server in the cluster that has Cisco CallManager installed.


Configuring the Database

After installing Cisco CallManager, you use Cisco CallManager Administration to begin configuring the database. The Cisco CallManager database contains information and parameters that relate to the system as a whole, to connected devices, and to individual users. The following list describes a few tasks that you must perform in Cisco CallManager Administration or Cisco CallManager Serviceability:

1. In Cisco CallManager Serviceability, activate the services that you want to run on each server in the cluster.

2. Configure system-level settings, such as Cisco CallManager Groups.

3. Design and configure your dialing plan.

4. Configure media resources for conferences, music on hold, and so on.

5. Install and configure your chosen voice-messaging system.

6. Configure system-wide features, Cisco IP Phone services, Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility, Cisco CallManager Attendant Console, and Cisco IP Manager Assistant.

7. Install and configure the gateways.

8. Enable computer telephony integration (CTI) application support; then, install and configure the desired CTI applications.

9. Configure and install the phones; then, associate users with the phones.

For more information about configuring the Cisco CallManager database, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide, the Cisco CallManager System Guide, or online help in the Cisco CallManager application.

Downloading Service Releases and Hotfixes for Ongoing System Management

For ongoing management, perform the following tasks:

Verify that you have installed the latest Microsoft patches and hotfixes (About Microsoft Patches and Hotfixes).

Verify that you have installed the latest Cisco CallManager service release (About Cisco CallManager Service Releases).

Refer to Installing the Operating System on the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server for more information. To obtain this document, see Table 1.

About Cisco CallManager Service Releases

See "Install the Cisco CallManager Service Release (when available on cisco.com)" section.

Viewing the Component Versions That Are Installed on the Server

The mcsver.exe program reports the current version of all installation components, including the operating system, upgrade, and backup and restore utility. Be aware that Cisco does not report the actual Cisco CallManager version through this program. Most of these components, run from the installation disks during the initial installation, no longer exist on the system.

The version for OS Image equals your operating system disk version number. The version of OS Image will change only if you do a new installation by using the Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System Hardware Detection Disk.

Perform the following procedure to view the component versions that are installed on the server:

Procedure


Step 1 Use Windows Explorer to browse to the following folder:

C:\utils\mcsver

Step 2 View the versions of the components that are running on your server.


Configuring Servers with Four Disk Drives to Collect Trace Files

To increase system performance, you can configure service parameters and trace output settings, so that trace files write to the drive labeled "Trace" instead of the default C: drive. Using the trace drive allows you to capture more trace files because this drive is set up specifically for trace file collection.

Perform the following procedure for all servers in the cluster with four disk drives:

Procedure


Step 1 Determine which drive is labeled "Trace" by double-clicking My Computer.

Step 2 In Cisco CallManager Administration, choose Application > Cisco CallManager Serviceability.

The Cisco CallManager Serviceability window displays.

Step 3 Choose Trace > Configuration.

Step 4 From the Server pane on the left side of the Trace Configuration window, click the server name or IP address of the four-disk drive server.

Step 5 Click the Cisco CallManager service.

The Trace Configuration window for the service and server displays.

Step 6 In the upper, right corner of the window, click the SDL Configuration link.

Step 7 In the Trace Directory Path field under Trace Output Settings, change the default from the C: drive to the drive letter of the trace drive.

Step 8 Click Update.

Step 9 Perform this procedure on all servers with four disk drives in the cluster.


Using the Cisco CallManager Music On Hold Disk or Download

When you install Cisco CallManager on your server, a default music on hold sample automatically installs for customer use. To increase your music on hold (MOH) selection, you may also install the Cisco CallManager Music On Hold Disk that ships with your Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server, or you may download one of two following two files via the web:

ciscocm-MusicOnHold, which is a set of wav files that provides the entire music selection from the disk

ciscocm-MusicOnHoldSampler, which is a small set of files that offers a sample of music that is available on the disk

For information on the MOH feature, refer to the latest version of the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide and the latest version of the Cisco CallManager System Guide.

As a Cisco CallManager user, you can use any contents of the disk/files with music on hold. Because of licensing restrictions, you must not distribute the Cisco CallManager Music on Hold disk/files to anyone else, and you must not use it for any other purpose.

Reenabling Third-Party Applications, Antivirus Services, and Security Agents

Use the following procedure to reenable third-party applications, antivirus services, or security agents:


Step 1 Choose Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.

Step 2 Locate the third-party application, antivirus service, or security agent that you want to start, right-click the service, and choose Properties.

Step 3 In the Properties window, click the General tab.

Step 4 From the Startup type drop-down list box, choose Automatic.

Step 5 Click OK.

Step 6 In the Services window, right-click the application or service and click Start.


Adding New Subscriber Servers to the Cluster After the Installation

If you need to add servers to the cluster, perform the following tasks:


Caution You must enter the same private password phrase on all Cisco CallManager servers in a cluster. If you have forgotten the password phrase, you can use the Admin Utility to reset it. Please refer to the AdminUtility-Readme.html at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cisco\bin.

1. Install the operating system on the subscriber server(s) by using the Cisco-provided operating system disks and the operating system documentation.

2. Verify that you configured name resolution, for example, DNS, before you install Cisco CallManager.

3. Install Cisco CallManager on the subscriber server(s) by using the Cisco CallManager Installation and Recovery Disk.

Make sure that you enter the publisher database server name correctly, so authentication to the publisher database server can occur.

4. Upgrade to the version of Cisco CallManager that currently runs in the cluster.

5. Install the same Cisco CallManager service release and operating system hotfixes/service patch that you have applied to the existing cluster.

Replacing the Publisher Database Server After the Installation

To replace an existing server, perform the following steps:

1. If you are replacing a server with four drives, Cisco recommends that you set the trace directory path on the server to the default C: drive before you backup your server.

2. Install the operating system and the Cisco CallManager software on the replacement server as if it were a new installation by using the Cisco-provided operating system disks and the operating system documentation.

3. Upgrade to the version of the Cisco CallManager that you want to restore.

4. If necessary, reinstall the Cisco IP telephony applications, plugins, and service releases to the version that is compatible with the backed up version of Cisco CallManager.

5. To obtain the locales that were used prior to the restoration, reinstall the Cisco IP Telephony Locale Installer.

6. Install the latest version of Cisco IP Telephony Backup and Restore (BARS) that is available on Cisco.com. Refer to Cisco IP Telephony Backup and Restore System (BARS) Administration Guide Version 4.0(2) (or later) and the Release Notes for Cisco IP Telephony Backup and Restore System (BARS) for the latest release of BARS. Immediately after installing BARS, perform a backup of the publisher database server.

7. Restore the backup data to the new server and reboot the server.

To restore the data, you must have backup data stored on tape or on a network directory, not on the local directory of the existing or failed server.

8. Verify that the data was restored to the new server.

9. If your server has four drives, you can configure the trace drive for trace file collection.

Requirement for Installation of Java Virtual Machine

The Microsoft Java Virtual Machine (MSJVM) technology allows Java applications to run on Microsoft Windows-based computers. Some versions of Microsoft Internet Explorer (a component of the Windows operating systems) included MSJVM, but Microsoft discontinued distribution of MSJVM in its software and announced end of life support for the product.

Microsoft installs MSJVM in all client workstation versions of the current Windows operating systems, except the following:

Windows XP Professional with SP1 slipstreamed into the installation

Windows 2000 Server/Professional with SP4 slipstreamed into the installation


Note Because the Cisco CallManager Administration windows depend on remote scripts, which depend on the JVM for web interaction, Cisco CallManager requires the use of JVM on the client machine to ensure that Cisco CallManager Administration displays correctly.


If your client machine runs MSJVM, you can continue to use the existing configuration to browse into the Cisco CallManager Administration windows and perform administration tasks.F

If you do not have MSJVM installed on your client machine (or if you receive an error message stating that Cisco CallManager cannot detect JVM on the client machine), and you need to perform Cisco CallManager Administration tasks, you must install and configure the Sun Microsystems' Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on the client machine. (The Sun JVM comprises part of the Java 2 Runtime Environment—JRE.) In addition, you must configure the browser security to be Java-enabled. See the "JRE Installation" section for information about installing JRE on the client machine.

If you are not sure whether MSJVM is installed on the client machine, you can install the Sun J2RE anyway. You would then have two Java Runtime Environments installed and running on your machine.


Tip If you run two separate JVM products (MSJVM and Sun J2RE) on your client machine, be sure to download and install patches and security updates for each JVM from the appropriate software vendor (Microsoft and Sun).


JRE Installation

As part of the Cisco CallManager installation, the system provides the Sun JRE client software in a zip file that is installed on the Cisco CallManager server.


Note Windows XP/XP Professional includes a built-in tool that handles zip files. If you use Windows 2000 as your operating system, you must obtain a separate compression utility (such as WinZip) to store and access zip files.


To install the JRE software for the client PC, follow these steps:

Procedure


Step 1 From the Cisco CallManager server, navigate to the C:\utils\JRE directory and search for the J2RE_Client_<jre version>.zip file.

The following example shows a zip file name:

J2RE_Client_1.4.2_05.zip

Note Only the Cisco CallManager Administrator can access the JRE software on the Cisco CallManager server; to enable access to other users, copy the J2RE_Client_<jre version>.zip file to a server that all users can share.


Step 2 Right-click the J2RE_Client_<jre version>.zip file and click Copy to copy the file to your client PC.

Step 3 Double-click the J2RE_Client_<jre version>.zip file to unzip the Sun J2RE installation executable.

Step 4 Double-click the installation executable file on the client PC.

The following example shows a installation executable file name:

j2re-1_4_2_04-windows-i586-p.exe

Note The exact file name of the installation executable file changes with each version as the new version number is incorporated into the name.


The JRE software installs in the C:\Program Files\Cisco\Java\JRE directory.


Verifying and Reinitializing Subscriber Connections

If the connections between the publisher database server and the subscribers within a cluster are broken for any reason, you cannot copy the database to the subscribers.

Verifying the Status of the Subscription

In the Enterprise Manager, a red X icon next to the subscription indicates that the subscription is broken.

Reinitializing the Subscription/Starting the Replication Snapshot Agent

If you determine that one or more subscription connections are broken, as indicated by the red X icon next to the subscriptions, reinitialize the subscriptions and start the replication snapshot agent on the publisher database server.

Procedure


Step 1 Open SQL Server Enterprise Manager by choosing Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2000 > Enterprise Manager.

Step 2 In the following path, choose the name of the publisher database that you are configuring: Microsoft SQL Servers/SQL Server Group/<this server's hostname>/Databases/<the publisher database name>Publications.

Step 3 In the main window, right-click the subscription name and choose Reinitialize all Subscriptions. Click Yes to confirm.

Step 4 In the following path, choose the Snapshot Agents folder: Microsoft SQL Servers/SQL Server Group/<this server's hostname>/Replication Monitor/Agents.

Step 5 Right-click the publication name that matches the database name that you are configuring; then, click Start.


In rare cases, the reinitialization of the subscriptions may not work. If you determine that the previous procedure did not work as expected, contact the team that provides technical assistance for this product; for example, your Cisco AVVID Partner or the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

Resolving Name Resolution Failures

Cisco CallManager requires NetBIOS and IP name resolution. An incorrect WINS (NetBIOS) or DNS (IP) configuration could result in a service outage.

To resolve name resolution failures, consult with your network administrator to confirm NetBIOS and IP name resolution within the entire network, which includes local device IP configurations, local device name resolution (LMHOSTS and HOSTS), network-based name resolution systems (WINS and DNS) and DHCP systems.


Note Cisco recommends that you use either local or network-based name resolution and not both at the same time.



Note If you use local name resolution and you change the IP address of any server, you must update the LMHOSTS and HOSTS files of every affected server within the network accordingly. For the changes to take effect, either reboot each affected server or complete the tasks in Step 4.



Note If you use a network-based name resolution and you change the IP address of any server, you must update the WINS and DNS (including RARP) systems. For the changes to take effect, either reboot each affected server or complete the tasks in Step 4.



Step 1 Obtain the IP address, hostname, and DNS suffix of each server in the cluster by using the ipconfig /all and hostname commands on each server.

Step 2 Populate the hosts files on each server in the cluster with the names and IP addresses of all servers in the cluster. Find the hosts files in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc.

The following example illustrates a hosts file where cm1 represents the hostname and mydomain.com represents the default DNS suffix or connection-specific DNS suffix from the ipconfig /all command output.

127.0.0.1 localhost
1.3.5.9 cm1 cm1.mydomain.com
1.2.4.8 cm2 cm2.mydomain.com

Step 3 Populate the lmhosts files on each server in the cluster with the names and IP addresses of all servers in the cluster. Find the lmhosts files in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc.

The following example illustrates a lmhosts file where cm1 represents the hostname.

1.3.5.9 cm1 #PRE
1.2.4.8 cm2 #PRE

Step 4 For the changes to take effect, issue the following commands on each server:

ipconfig /flushdns
nbtstat -R


Note Be aware that the letter "R" is case sensitive in the command.


Step 5 Confirm the changes were successfully loaded by performing the following procedures:

a. Examine the output of nbtstat -c

The names of all other servers in the cluster should appear with a life of -1. The names appear multiple times.

The following example represents the output of the nbtstat -c command:

Example 1 NetBIOS Remote Cache Name Table

Name
 
Type
Host Address
