Using the Cisco Unified Communications Answer File Generator
Cisco Unified Communications Answer File Generator, a web application, generates answer files for unattended installations of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition. Individual answer files get copied to a USB key or a floppy diskette that accompanies the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition DVD during the installation process.
The web application supports the following features:
•Allows simultaneous generation and saving of answer files for unattended installs on the publisher server and all subscriber servers.
•Provides syntactical validation of data entries.
•Provides online help and documentation.
The following usage requirements apply:
•The web application supports only fresh installs (for example, it does not include upgrades).
•If DHCP client is being used on the publisher server, and subscriber server answer files are also being generated, you must specify the publisher server IP address.
You can access the Cisco Unified Communications Answer File Generator at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/web/cuc_afg/index.html
The Cisco Unified Communications Answer File Generator supports Internet Explorer version 6.0 or higher and Mozilla version 1.5 or higher.
If a USB key is being used to perform an unattended installation of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition, you may need to reformat the USB key to the FAT32 file system beforehand. You need to reformat especially in the case of USB keys with larger storage capacity (for example, 1 Gigabyte) that are formatted with the FAT file system.
You can use the Windows XP Disk Management Utility to reformat a USB key to the FAT32 file system as follows (you might need to be logged in as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to perform these tasks):
Step 1 Insert the USB key into a USB slot on the Windows XP PC.
Step 2 Choose Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools and then double-click Computer Management.
Step 3 Expand the Storage tree and click Disk Management.
Step 4 Right-click the Removable Disk icon and click Format.
Step 5 You may be asked whether you are sure that you want to format this partition; click Yes.
Step 6 Click the File System: pull down and select FAT32.
Step 7 Click OK. When prompted to format the volume, click OK again.
The Removable Disk icon text should now show the file system format as FAT32.
Handling Network Errors During Installation
During the installation process, the installation program verifies that the server can successfully connect to the network by using the network configuration that you enter. If it cannot connect, a message displays, and you get prompted to select one of the following options:
•RETRY —The installation program tries to validate networking again. If validation fails again, the error dialog box displays again.
•REVIEW (Check Install)—This option allows you to review and modify the networking configuration. The installation program returns to the network configuration windows.
Networking gets validated after you complete each networking window, so the message might display multiple times. If the message displays while you are reviewing the network configuration windows, choose IGNORE to move to the next window. If you choose REVIEW, the first network configuration window displays again.
•HALT— The installation halts. You can copy the installation log files to a USB disk to aid troubleshooting of your network configuration.
•IGNORE —The installation continues. The networking error gets logged. In some cases, the installation program validates networking multiple times, so this error dialog box might display multiple times.
