Installation Information Worksheet

Use Table 1 to record the information about your Cisco Unified Communication Manager server. Gather this information for each Cisco Unified Communication Manager server that you are installing in the cluster. You may not need to obtain all the information; gather only the information that is pertinent to your system and network configuration. You can make copies of this table and record your entries for each server in a separate table, even if you are planning to use the DMABackupInfo.inf file to configure your system.

Note Alternatively, download and use a Microsoft Word version of the worksheet

Note Because some of the fields are optional, they may not apply to your configuration. For example, you choose not to set up an SMTP host.

Table 2 Installation Field Definitions
Field	Description	Usage
Administrator ID	This field specifies the name that you want to assign to this account.	Ensure the name is unique; it can contain lowercase, alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores. It must start with a lowercase alphanumeric character. For this mandatory field, you should record it for use when you log in to the CLI on the platform or into Platform Administration. Note You cannot change this field after installation.
Administrator Password	This field specifies the password that you use for logging in to the the CLI on the platform and for logging in to Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration.	Ensure the password is at least six characters long; it can contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscore. For this mandatory field, you should record it for use when you log in to the Cisco Unified CallManager.
DHCP	Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol	Choose Yes if you want to use DHCP to automatically configure the network settings on your server. If you choose No, you must enter a hostname, IP Address, IP Mask, and Gateway.
DNS Enabled	A DNS server represents a device that resolves a hostname into an IP address or an IP address into a hostname. Note You cannot change the DNS settings after the installation is complete. To change DNS settings, you must reinstall Cisco Unified Communication Manager.	If you do not have a DNS server, enter No. When DNS is not enabled, you should only enter IP addresses (not hostnames) for all network devices in your Cisco Unified Communications network. If you have a DNS server, Cisco recommends entering Yes to enable DNS. Disabling DNS limits the system ability to resolve some domain names.
DNS Primary	Cisco Unified Communication Manager contacts this DNS server first when it attempts to resolve host names.	Enter the IP address of the DNS server that you want to specify as the primary DNS server. Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format as ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0). Consider this field mandatory if DNS is set to yes.
DNS Secondary	When a primary DNS server fails, Cisco Unified Communication Manager will attempt to connect to the secondary DNS server.	In this optional field, enter the IP address of the secondary DNS. Enter the IP address in dotted decimal format as ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0).
Domain	This field represents the name of the domain in which this machine is located.	Consider this field mandatory if DNS is set to yes.
First Cisco Unified Communication Manager Node	The first Cisco Unified Communication Manager node contains the database. Subsequent nodes connect to the the first node to access database content. The first node also synchronizes with an external NTP server and provides time to the other nodes.	Choose Yes if you are configuring the first Cisco Unified Communication Manager node in the cluster. If you are configuring subsequent nodes, see Table 2 for information on the different fields.
Gateway Address	A gateway represents a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. Outbound packets get sent to the gateway that will forward them to their final destination.	Enter the IP address of the gateway in the format ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0) If you do not have a gateway, you must still fill in this field by setting it to 255.255.255.255. Not having a gateway may limit you to communicating only with devices on your subnet.
Hostname	A host name represents an alias that is assigned to an IP address to identify it.	Enter a host name that is unique to your network. The host name can comprise up to 64 characters and can contain alphanumeric characters and hyphens. If DHCP is set to No, consider this field mandatory.
IP Address	This field specifies the IP address of this machine. It will uniquely identify the server on this network. Another machine in this network should not be using this IP address.	Enter the IP address in the form ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0). If DHCP is set to No, consider this field mandatory.
IP Mask	This field specifies the IP subnet mask of this machine. The subnet mask together with the IP address defines the network address and the host address.	Enter the IP mask in the form ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have a value between 0 and 255 (except 0.0.0.0). A valid mask should have contiguous '1' bits on left side and contiguous '0' bits on the right. For example, a valid mask follows: 255.255.240.0 (11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000) An invalid mask follows: 255.255.240.240 (11111111.11111111.11110000.11110000)
NIC and Switch port Speed and Duplex	NIC Speed specifies the speed of the server network interface card (NIC) in megabits per second. NIC Duplex specifies the duplex setting of the server NIC.	Speed: 10, 100, or 1000 Duplex: Half or full. Note For GigE (1000/FULL), NIC and switch port settings must be handled differently than they were in Windows, where setting hard values and not using Autonegotiation was strongly recommended. For Linux-based Cisco Unified CM 5.x, set the NIC and switch port to Auto/Auto for 1000/FULL operation. Do not set hard values. The NIC and switch port sides must both be set to Auto. Note If you are using NIC Teaming, be aware that the NIC Teaming configuration will be lost during the upgrade. You will need to set it up on each server after the upgrade. After the upgrade, see NIC teaming in the Post-Upgrade Checklist.
NTP Server	This field identifies the NTP server with which you want to keep time synchronization.	Enter the hostname or IP Address of NTP server(s). If you enabled the system to be NTP client, you must enter the hostname or IP address of at least one NTP server. Note You can add additional NTP servers or make changes to the NTP server list at a later time
Security Password	Cisco Unified Communication Manager servers in the cluster use the security password to communicate with one another. You will be asked to enter the same security password for each subsequent node in the cluster.	Enter the security password. Enter the same password in the confirm password field. The password must contain at least six alphanumeric characters. It can contain hyphens and underscores, but it must start with an alphanumeric character. Caution You must enter the same password for all nodes in the cluster.
Set Hardware Clock	The field specifies the date and local time for the machine. Note If you set the hardware clock manually, the node does not use an external NTP server for time synchronization.	Choose Yes if you want to set the date and local time for the time zone that you chose. Enter the hours based on a 24-hour format. Note If you configure an external NTP server, the hardware clock gets set automatically.
SMTP	This field specifies the name of the SMTP host that is used for outbound e-mail.	Enter the hostname or dotted IP address for the SMTP server. For a host, it can contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens, or periods. For a host name, it must start with an alphanumeric character. You must fill in this field if you plan to use electronic notification. If not, you can leave it blank.
Time zone	This field specifies the local time zone and offset from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)	Choose Yes if you want to change the time zone. Choose the time zone that most closely matches the location of your machine.
