Introduction

These release notes provide important compatibility specifications, bug and workaround information, and documentation details for Cisco CallManager Multilevel Administration Access (MLA) 1.2(4a) software.

Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) 7835

Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) 7830

Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) 7825

Software Compatibility

MLA 1.2(4a) works with Cisco CallManager 3.3(5) release.

Important Notes

The following sections provide important notes about installing, configuring, and using MLA 1.2(4a) software.

Installation Issues

The following installation issues exist for installing Cisco CallManager Multilevel Administration Access.

Install on Publisher First

You should install Multilevel Administration Access (MLA) on the Cisco CallManager Publisher system first before installing it on the other Cisco CallManager nodes. You may install on one more Cisco CallManager Subscriber system when failover support is wanted for Multilevel Administration Access.

Stop Antivirus Programs Before Installing MLA

You must stop all antivirus programs before you begin to install MLA 1.2(4a) software. Refer to the "Installing Multilevel Administration Access" chapter of the Cisco CallManager Multilevel Administration Access Guide for details.

No Remote Installation

You can install MLA only at the server's console or VNC. MLA does not support Terminal Service remote installation.

Logging In to Cisco CallManager Administration Web Interface

After installing MLA 1.2(4a) software, NT Administrator account and its password can no longer log in to Cisco CallManager Administration and Serviceability. When you first log in, use CCMAdministrator user ID along with the corresponding password, which you entered while installing Multilevel Administration Access. You can change the password from the user interface: User > Access Rights > Change CCMAdministrator Password.

Upgrading Cisco CallManager Software

When you upgrade Cisco CallManager software (to a major release or a maintenance release), you must reinstall MLA software that is compatible with your new Cisco CallManager version. Also, when installing Support Patches and Engineering Specials for Cisco CallManager, you must install a corresponding Support Patch or Engineering Special for Multilevel Administration Access.

Caveats

The following open caveats remain for Release 1.2(4a) of Multilevel Administration Access software. For each caveat, the table specifies the DDTS number and text, a description of the symptom, and an explanation and workaround.

Reporting Security Problems in Cisco Products

Cisco is committed to delivering secure products. We test our products internally before we release them, and we strive to correct all vulnerabilities quickly. If you think that you might have identified a vulnerability in a Cisco product, contact PSIRT:

Emergencies — security-alert@cisco.com

Nonemergencies — psirt@cisco.com


Tip We encourage you to use Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) or a compatible product to encrypt any sensitive information that you send to Cisco. PSIRT can work from encrypted information that is compatible with PGP versions 2.x through 8.x.

Never use a revoked or an expired encryption key. The correct public key to use in your correspondence with PSIRT is the one that has the most recent creation date in this public key server list:

Obtaining Technical Assistance

For all customers, partners, resellers, and distributors who hold valid Cisco service contracts, Cisco Technical Support provides 24-hour-a-day, award-winning technical assistance. The Cisco Technical Support Website on Cisco.com features extensive online support resources. In addition, Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) engineers provide telephone support. If you do not hold a valid Cisco service contract, contact your reseller.

Cisco Technical Support Website

The Cisco Technical Support Website provides online documents and tools for troubleshooting and resolving technical issues with Cisco products and technologies. The website is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Access to all tools on the Cisco Technical Support Website requires a Cisco.com user ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a user ID or password, you can register at this URL:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do


Note Use the Cisco Product Identification (CPI) tool to locate your product serial number before submitting a web or phone request for service. You can access the CPI tool from the Cisco Technical Support Website by clicking the Tools & Resources link under Documentation & Tools. Choose Cisco Product Identification Tool from the Alphabetical Index drop-down list, or click the Cisco Product Identification Tool link under Alerts & RMAs. The CPI tool offers three search options: by product ID or model name; by tree view; or for certain products, by copying and pasting show command output. Search results show an illustration of your product with the serial number label location highlighted. Locate the serial number label on your product and record the information before placing a service call.


Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request is assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553-2447

For a complete list of Cisco TAC contacts, go to this URL:

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
