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 Release 4.11 and later. This problem affects initial installations of and upgrades to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing when you are installing on an IBM MCS-7835I.

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

For additional information, see the "Using Bug Toolkit" section and refer to caveat CSCsa39488.

Limitations and Restrictions

This section describes particular terms of agreement that you should be aware of when configuring or using this product:

•Configuration Restrictions

•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.

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 Web Conferencing systems through the Admin pages. If your SSO software integration requires a change in the 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 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 Web Conferencing features and operations.

•Customers are responsible for ensuring stability of integrated 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. Web Conferencing installs and uses four IIS extensions. Any incompatibility between an SSO software extension and the 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 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 Web Conferencing system, any changes in overall configuration, including Web Conferencing upgrades and SSO package upgrades, can potentially break integrated 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 Web Conferencing when opening a service request for 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 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 Web Conferencing problem that does not seem to be connected to the SSO integration, Cisco TAC will proceed per the normal support process. If Cisco 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.

Documentation Updates

Errors

This section lists errors in the current Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing documentation and gives corrected information. The correct information will be incorporated in a future documentation release.

Multiple Guides: Cisco Policy for Use of Third-Party Software and Security Updates

In the "Terms of Use" section in the "Introducing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing" chapters of the Installation and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.4 and the Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.4, disregard the policy section titled "Cisco Policy for Use of Third-Party Software and Security Updates."

For information on supported third-party software, see the "Compatibility Information" section.

For system requirements, refer to the "Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing 5.4" section of System Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 5.4 at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

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.

Troubleshooting Information

See the "Troubleshooting Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing" chapter in the Configuration Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html.
