Hardware Requirements

This section describes the hardware requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.

Web Server Requirements

Audio Server Requirements

Web Server Requirements

The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing system is a software product loaded onto a hardware server. New installations of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing require a Cisco MCS Unified CallManager Appliance (Cisco MCS) that is dedicated to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace applications.

For information about the Cisco MCS, see the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/voiceapp/ps378/index.html. You will need your Cisco.com username and password to access this page.

Table 1 lists supported Cisco 7800 Series Media Convergence Server models. The Cisco MCS server must have a DVD-ROM drive, keyboard, mouse, and monitor.

Exact equivalent third-party servers are also supported. See http://www.cisco.com/go/swonly.

Table 1 Supported Cisco 7800 Series MCS Models

System
Voice Conferencing Capacity
Web Conferencing Capacity

Cisco MCS 7835H-3.0-IPC1

Cisco MCS 7835I-3.0-IPC1

Cisco MCS-7835-H1-RC1

Cisco MCS-7835-I1-RC1

Up to 480 voice user licenses per server.

Up to 50 web-conferencing user licenses per server.

Cisco MCS 7845H-3.0-IPC1

Cisco MCS-7845-H1-RC1

Cisco MCS-7845-I1-RC1

Up to 1152 voice user licenses per server.

Up to 200 web-conferencing user licenses per server.

If you have more than 50 web-conferencing user licenses, move your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace applications, for example, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SMTP/E-Mail Gateway, to a MCS 7845 that is dedicated to web conferencing.

Note Add a dedicated Cisco MCS 7845 for each additional 200 web-conferencing user licenses.


Additional Requirements

NT File System (NTFS) with more than 2.5 GB free space available.

700 MB of additional disk space per expected hour of recording over the base level. For more information, see the "Recording Size" section in Chapter 3 of the Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.

Audio Server Requirements

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing requires connection to a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system for full functionality. The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server software component must reside on a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8112 Server or Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8106 Server.


Note Make sure that you have a fully upgraded Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system before attempting to connect it to a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing system. For information about Audio Server software requirements, see the "Integration Requirements: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server" section.


Networking Requirements

Ensure that your system meets the following requirements so that the web server can communicate with the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system:

TCP ports 5003 and 5005 are open bi-directional between the web server and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server systems (primary server and shadow server, if one exists).

The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system can initiate a reverse connection to the web server, thus eliminating the need for you to open port 5003 from the web server to the audio server. For the reverse connection to be initiated, you must enter the MeetingPlace Server name as a hostname instead of an IP address during the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing installation. You will also have to manually configure this web server unit on the audio server. For more information, see the "Gateway SIM Reverse Connection" section in Chapter 2 of the Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.

The web server has a static IP address.

Connectivity between the web server and its host Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system is of high quality and not subject to interruptions because of traffic congestion. Any time the round trip latency exceeds 100 ms or there is more than 1% packet loss, you should expect a noticeable reduction in service quality.

The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system must be connected to a network switch port that is configured for auto-negotiate.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace gateways must be connected to network switch ports that are configured for 100 MB Full Duplex.

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a

Installs automatically if the installer detects an earlier release.



NoteMSDE imposes a performance limit of eight simultaneous connections, which could potentially hamper the performance of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing. Because future releases of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing may not support MSDE, we recommend that all Cisco Unified MeetingPlace systems, particularly production systems, consider the use of a fully licensed SQL Server.

If you are deploying Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing by using the remote SQL Server option, you must pre-install either SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000 with the relevant Service Packs before you install Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing.

If you need to manually install SQL Server, you must install and configure your SQL Server to be case-insensitive because Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing supports only SQL Server case-insensitive configurations. If you configure your SQL server to be case-sensitive, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing will not function properly.

Upgrading Requirements

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing and Cisco Security Agent

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Product Compatibility Matrix

Upgrading Requirements

Upgrading a legacy system to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3(447) requires the following:

Either a supported Cisco MCS or an exact HP or IBM equivalent. For information on Cisco MCS specifications, see the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/voiceapp/ps378/index.html


Note If you are not using a HP or IBM exact equivalent, you must install Release 5.3 as a new installation on a supported Cisco MCS. For installation requirements, see the "System Requirements" section.


Windows 2000 Server (SP 4) or Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition

Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 or 6.0

Microsoft IIS 6.0 is installed with Windows Server 2003

SQL Server 2000 (SP 4) or SQL Server (MSDE)(SP 4)

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing requires the SQL Server Processor License option. For more information, see the Microsoft website.

We highly recommend that all Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing systems, particularly production systems, consider the use of a fully licensed version of SQL Server 2000. If you are using MSDE, but want to upgrade to full SQL Server, you must install the full SQL Server before you upgrade Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing to Release 5.3(447).


Caution Do not delete the SQL Server database if you want to maintain your current click-to-attend links, attachments, and meeting recordings. Deleting or rebuilding your current database deletes all this information.

For additional information about upgrading your web server to Release 5.3, see Chapter 5, "Upgrading or Uninstalling Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing," in the Installation and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing and Cisco Security Agent

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 is not compatible with Cisco Security Agent. We recommend that you do not install Cisco Security Agent on a web server where Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing is installed.

If Cisco Security Agent is installed on an end-user system, users will see a security alert when they attempt to use the application-sharing feature. Users can choose to proceed with the feature and use application-sharing without difficulty.

This section describes the following:

Software Download Site

Installation Notes for Release 5.3(104.3)

Determining the Software Release for Release 5.3(104.3)

About Cisco Unified CallManager Installation via VNC

Software Download Site

You may download the following software from Cisco.com:

Upgrade-only software images—Used to upgrade from an earlier software release to a later software release of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing.

To download this software, go to http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/meetingplace-webconf

You must have an account on Cisco.com to access the Software Center.

Installation Notes for Release 5.3(104.3)


Caution You must uncompress this patch release in an empty folder. If you uncompress this release to a folder that contains an earlier patch release, you can corrupt your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing installation.

For installation instructions, see MeetingPlace Web Patch Installation Package Steps for Deployment at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/products_tech_note09186a0080222631.shtml

Determining the Software Release for Release 5.3(104.3)

For Release 5.3(104.3), the correct software release displays only at the bottom of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing home page. Therefore, when users enter the meeting room, Release 5.3(104.2) displays, and when administrators access the Local Version System Information from the Administrative page, installed releases earlier than Release 5.3(104.3) display. This occurs because only a few template files were changed in Release 5.3(104.3).

For information about which files changed, see the "New and Changed Information" section

About Cisco Unified CallManager Installation via VNC

There is a known problem installing Cisco Unified CallManager remotely by using VNC on a server running IBM Director 4.11 and later releases. This problem affects initial installations and upgrades of Release 5.3 when you are installing on an IBM MCS-7835I.

To avert this issue, we strongly recommend that you do not use VNC to initially install Release 5.3 or upgrade to Release 5.3 on an IBM MCS-7835I.

For additional information, use the Bug Toolkit as indicated in the "Caveats" section and see CSCsa39488.

Important Notes

The following sections describe particular terms of agreement that you should be aware of when configuring or using this product.

This section includes the following topics:

Configuration Restrictions

Cisco Policy for Use of Third-Party Software

Terms for Single Sign on Software Integration

Terms of Support for Single Sign On Software Integration

Configuration Restrictions

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing deployments that are customized beyond the built-in configuration capabilities of the product, or beyond the documented configuration settings, procedures or instructions, are not supported by Cisco Systems. Examples of such customizations include, but are not limited to, the following: modifying web page templates, changing HTML or Javscript code, changing IIS running parameters or applying custom .asp pages or ISAPI filters, modifying SQL server configuration or authentication method, modifying Windows OS security through IPSec policies and NTFS ACL, and so on.

Cisco Policy for Use of Third-Party Software

Revised October 13, 2006

This document describes the system, end user, and other requirements for the use of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing software. The introduction of unsupported third-party products or the failure to meet Web Conferencing requirements may interfere with the operation of the Web Conferencing software, and may affect Cisco support for the product.

The following third-party software is supported on Web Conferencing servers, provided that the software is configured so as not to disrupt Cisco Unified MeetingPlace operations:

McAfee VirusScan Enterprise versions 8.0i and later

Microsoft Windows Terminal Services


Caution Terminal Services (WTS) is not supported for installing or upgrading Web Conferencing. If you use WTS, the installation or upgrade process may fail.

Virtual Network Computing (VNC is supported for installing and upgrading Web Conferencing.)

Terms for Single Sign on Software Integration

Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) customers who implement SSO software integrations on their Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing servers do so at their own risk and are responsible for understanding the technical implementations and feasibility of SSO integrations on their systems.

By allowing SSO software integrations, we do not claim support for any SSO software packages or vendors.

SSO software integrations require proper configuration of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing systems through the Admin pages. If your SSO software integration requires a change in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing product source code, your SSO integration becomes an SSO customization, and we do not support customizations by either customers or any other parties.

CPE customers who want to integrate SSO packages can contact Cisco Managed Services to obtain a Service Request to implement SSO. This service is offered as a convenience and does not change the scope of the SSO integration: this service is an integration and configuration of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing product, not a customization of the product code.

Customers must first implement SSO software integrations on test or lab servers and verify that the integrated systems work, including Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing features and operations.

Customers are responsible for ensuring stability of integrated Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing-SSO systems, including communicating with SSO software vendors for the following reasons:

To obtain necessary fixes and support

To troubleshoot functional problems and technical problems, including crashes triggered by the SSO package

SSO software often includes a web-server extension, called the IIS ISAPI extension or filter. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing installs and uses four IIS extensions. Any incompatibility between an SSO software extension and the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing extensions can make IIS non-functional or unstable. Any crash of the SSO IIS extension can cause IIS to crash and can generate a full Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing outage, resulting in a full system restart, ending of in-progress meetings, and disconnecting of web-conferencing users. Any memory leak in the SSO package or module can make IIS or the whole server unstable, as well.

Although SSO software integration is productized for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing system, any changes in overall configuration, including Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing upgrades and SSO package upgrades, can potentially break integrated Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing-SSO systems.

Terms of Support for Single Sign On Software Integration

Customers must inform Cisco TAC that their Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing servers have third-party SSO packages installed and configured with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing when opening a service request for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook, or Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Lotus Notes.

Customers must be able to provide SSO integration details upon request. Inability to provide details can result in Cisco TAC not being able to proceed with service requests.

If a service request is about troubleshooting the SSO integration, Cisco TAC can review the logs and identify if the problem is on the SSO side or the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing side. If the problem is on the SSO side, information will be provided to customers, so they can further troubleshoot with their SSO vendors.

If the service request is about troubleshooting a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing problem that does not seem to be connected to the SSO integration, Cisco TAC will proceed per the normal support process. If TAC discovers that the SSO integration plays a role in the problem, information will be provided to customers, so they can further troubleshoot with their SSO vendors.

If Cisco TAC believes the problem is triggered by an SSO package, Cisco TAC can require customers to disable the SSO package to troubleshoot further.

Microsoft Debug Diagnostic tool, also called DebugDiag, may be required for troubleshooting IIS crashes and memory leaks to determine if these problems are produced by the SSO package.

Troubleshooting

For Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 troubleshooting information, see the Troubleshooting chapter in the relevant guides:

Installation and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3.

Documentation Updates

This section provides documentation changes that were unavailable when the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 documentation suite was released. It also describes major changes in the documentation set.

For All Releases

Documentation Updates for Release 5.3(447)

Documentation Updates for Release 5.3(333)

For All Releases

Disable Silence Removal

Added October 28, 2008

When playing back a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace data and audio recording, the audio is clipped and generally not in sync with the presentation. The audio pauses and then rapidly catches up to the time counter while the audio portion is playing back. There is no pause for the data playback. Audio recording playback by itself is unaffected from the web playback and .wav download works fine. This problem is caused by silence removal.

Use the setsilrem -disable command on the Audio Server CLI to disable silence removal.

CPU Spikes When Running Services

Added August 10, 2009

Running some services, such as MPAgent, can use as much as 90 percent of your CPU. Fortunately, these services run at a low priority so the CPU spikes do not impact important system functions.

Documentation Updates for Release 5.3(447)

Change in Documentation Organization

All installation, configuration, and troubleshooting information was previously documented in the Administrator's Guide for Cisco MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3. This information is now separated into two different guides:

The Installation and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 includes information pertaining to installing the Cisco MCS Unified Application Server software and the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 software. This includes installation instructions for various deployments, including segmented meeting access and load balancing deployments.

The Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 includes information pertaining to configuring and maintaining the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 system.

Documentation Updates for Release 5.3(333)

Updated Administrator's Guide

The Administrator's Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 now includes information about all releases of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3. In this guide, the convention Release 5.3 refers to all releases of the software product. When prerequisites or restrictions apply, the specific release and build number are identified.
