Installing Cisco CallManager on Subscriber Database Server(s)


Upgrading from Cisco CallManager 3.2 (If You Are Not Replacing Hardware)


You must upgrade Cisco CallManager on the publisher database server and all subscriber servers in the cluster. For the order of the upgrade, see the "Which server in the cluster do I upgrade first?" section.


Caution To successfully upgrade the publisher and subscriber database servers, you must perform all procedures exactly as stated in this document.

This section contains procedures and information on the following topics:

Before You Begin

Upgrading the Cisco CallManager 3.2 Publisher Database Server

Upgrading Cisco CallManager 3.2 Subscriber Servers

Before You Begin

Before you start the upgrade, make sure that you perform the following tasks:

Table 2-1 Pre-Upgrade Tasks 

 
Pre-Upgrade Task
Related Topics

Step 1 

Make sure that you run a recommended version of Cisco CallManager on all servers in the cluster.

From which versions of Cisco CallManager can I upgrade to Cisco CallManager Release 4.0(1)?

Step 2 

Make sure that you understand the order in which you must upgrade the cluster.

Which server in the cluster do I upgrade first?

How does a coresident upgrade work if I have CRS installed with Cisco CallManager?

Step 3 

Make sure that your server configuration supports this upgrade.

Which servers and operating system versions does Cisco support for this upgrade?

Step 4 

Make sure that you have 2.0 gigabytes of available disk space on each of your servers for the Cisco CallManager upgrade.

 

Step 5 

If you run Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility and Cisco CallManager 3.2 before the upgrade, you must perform additional configuration tasks after the upgrade, so Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility runs as expected.

For more information, refer to the Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility upgrade section of the Cisco CallManager Features and Services Guide for 4.0(1). To obtain the most recent version of this document, go to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/index.htm.

Step 6 

If you are using Cisco Unity as your voice-messaging system, configure the voice mail ports in Cisco CallManager to ensure proper migration.

For more information, refer to the Release Notes for Cisco CallManager. To obtain the most recent version of this document, go to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/index.htm.

Step 7 

You must assign a unique device name to each H.323 intercluster trunk. A registration problem occurs when multiple Cisco CallManager clusters have the same device name assigned to H.323 intercluster trunks in Cisco CallManager Administration.

Refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide for information on the trunk configuration procedure.

Step 8 

Verify that all H.323 dial-peer(s) point to a Cisco CallManager server in the device profile for which they are assigned. Cisco no longer provides the Run H.225D On Every Node option in Cisco CallManager Administration for H.323 gateways. If the session target statements in the dial-peer(s) do not point to the appropriate Cisco CallManager server, calls fail.

Refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide for information on the gateway configuration procedure.

Step 9 

Perform the recommended backup procedures for all coresident software applications that are installed on the server.


Caution Failing to complete a backup causes a loss of data and configuration settings. For information on performing the backup, refer to the documentation that supports the applications.

The Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility does not back up any operating system files except Host/LMhost, if these files exist on the server.

For a list of files that the utility backs up, refer to Using Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility, Version 3.5.52 (or later). To obtain the latest version of the document, go to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/backup/index.htm.

How does a coresident upgrade work if I have CRS installed with Cisco CallManager?

Step 10 

Be aware that if you change any security or account policies from the default, the upgrade may fail.

For more information on security and account policies, refer to Microsoft documentation.

Step 11 

Understand how Cisco CallManager updates service parameters.

For Service Parameters with Nonnumeric Values

Cisco CallManager always updates service parameters with non-numeric values to the suggested value.

For Service Parameters with Numeric Values

If your service parameters are set to the suggested value, Cisco CallManager automatically updates the value during the upgrade to match the new suggested value.

If your customized value exists between the range of minimum and maximum values, Cisco CallManager does not change the customized value.

If you configured customized values that are not between the minimum and maximum range of values, the customized value changes during the upgrade to the maximum or minimum value. For example, if the maximum value equals 10 and the value that you configured is 12, Cisco CallManager automatically sets the value to 10.

During the upgrade, some non-servicewide parameters may change to clusterwide parameters (formerly known as servicewide parameters).

For more information on service parameters, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide and the Cisco CallManager System Guide.

Step 12 

Before the upgrade, obtain the local Administrator account password, the SQL server SA password, the Private Password Phrase, and the computer name of the publisher database server.

"Information That You May Need During the Upgrade" section

Information That You May Need During the Upgrade

Use the information in the following table when you perform the upgrade procedures.


Caution When entering passwords for the local Administrator and SA (SQL Server system administrator) accounts, enter alphanumeric characters only. The account password must match on every server in the cluster. For each of the accounts, you must enter the same password on every server in the cluster.

The upgrade prompts you for a Private Password Phrase. The upgrade uses the string that you enter to create a unique, encrypted password. You must enter the same phrase on all servers in the cluster.

Table 2-3 Required Upgrade Tasks for the Cisco CallManager 3.2 Publisher Database Server 

 
Task
Important Information
Time It Takes To Perform Task

Step 1 

Verify that you have performed all pre-upgrade tasks.

See the "Before You Begin" section and the "Information That You May Need During the Upgrade" section.

Depends on the size of the cluster

Step 2 

Remove all servers in the cluster from the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain.

See the "Remove the System from the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain and Reboot the Server (Required, If Configured)" section.

Depends on the size of the cluster

Step 3 

Manually disable and stop all third-party, Cisco-verified, and Cisco-provided coresident applications that are installed on your server.

Disabling platform agents and services, such as performance monitoring (for example, NetIQ), antivirus (Cisco-approved McAfee services), intrusion detection (for example, Cisco Security Agent), and remote management services, ensures that the upgrade does not encounter issues that are associated with these services.

See the "Disable and Stop Third-Party, Cisco-Verified, and Cisco-Provided Coresident Applications and Reboot the Server (Required)" section.

20 minutes

Step 4 

Manually remove versions of the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup.

Cisco recommends that you perform this task before you insert Cisco CallManager Backup Utility Disk. If the backup utility installation detects a previous version of the utility, verify that no backup utility exists under the Add/Remove Programs option in Microsoft Windows. Then, continue the installation, even if an error message states that a previous version is detected.

Note You cannot uninstall Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility version 3.5.6 if you installed the utility during the Cisco CallManager 3.2(3) installation.

See the "Remove Previous Versions of the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server Backup Utility (Required)" section.

5 minutes

Step 5 

Manually install and configure Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server Backup, Version 3.5.52 (or later).

The Cisco CallManager Backup Utility Disk contains the utility that you must install.

About Backup Utility Configuration

When the installation software prompts you to configure the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility, be aware that you must configure the publisher database server as the Backup Server, so data and configuration migration can occur.

About the Network Directory

If you choose a network directory as the destination for the backup server, the directory must be shared in Windows 2000. To share a directory, log in on that server, right-click the directory folder icon that you want to share, click Sharing..., click Share this folder, and then click OK.

About the Files That the Utility Backs Up

The Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility does not back up any operating system files except Host/LMhost, if these files exist on the server. For a list of files that the utility backs up, refer to Using Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility, Version 3.5.52 (or later). To obtain the latest version of the document, go to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/backup/index.htm.

For step-by-step instructions on how to install and configure the backup utility, see the "Install and Configure Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server Backup Utility, Version 3.5.52 or Later (Required)" section.

15 minutes

Step 6 

Manually back up the data that is on the publisher database server to either a network directory or local tape drive.

Consider the following information before you back up the server:

About the Backup Utility Version

To back up the data, you must use Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility, Version 3.5.52 or later, with this release of Cisco CallManager.

About Data Deletion

Do not back up the data to a local directory; the operating system installation erases all data that is stored on the local directory.

About Temporary Disk Space

If the server does not have enough temporary disk space to complete the backup, the backup fails.

About Data Preservation

Only data that is contained on the publisher database server restores.

For example, if Cisco Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) does not reside on the publisher database server, the restoration at the end of the upgrade erases all customized TFTP information, such as specific phone or gateway loads. If you want to retain this information, you must reconfigure the system, so the loads exist on the publisher database server, or you must manually save this data before the restoration.

After the backup, verify that no errors exist. Failure to successfully troubleshoot any problems could cause a total loss of data.

For step-by-step instructions on how to perform the backup, see the "Back Up Existing Data (Required)" section.

Tip To significantly improve the speed of the Cisco CallManager upgrade, archive or remove CDRs before backing up your system.

30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the Cisco CallManager and Call Detail Record (CDR) database

Step 7 

After you verify that the backup completed successfully, verify that the dbname.ini and backup.ini files exist. Copy the files to the network directory or tape device where the MCS.sti file is stored.

See the "Verify That the dbname.ini and backup.ini Files Exist for the STI_DATA Drive; Copy the Files to the Network Directory Where the MCS.sti File Exists (Strongly Recommended)" section.

5 minutes

Step 8 

Run Cisco CallManager Upgrade Assistant Utility 4.0(1) on all servers in the cluster.

You must perform this task on one server in the cluster at a time, beginning with the publisher database server.

The Cisco CallManager Upgrade Assistant Utility verifies that your server is in a healthy state before the upgrade. Perform this task on one server in the cluster at a time, beginning with the publisher database server.

See the "Run the Cisco CallManager Upgrade Assistant Utility on All Servers in the Cluster (Strongly Recommended)" section.

1 to 20 minutes per server

Step 9 

If the server supports drive removal, remove a drive, insert a replacement drive, and mirror the drives.

See the "Removing a Drive, Inserting a Replacement Drive, and Drive Mirroring (Strongly Recommended)" section.

15 to 60 minutes, depending on the server type

Step 10 

Using the Cisco-provided operating system disks (Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System Hardware Detection Disk and Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System Installation and Recovery Disk), install operating system version 2000.2.4 or later.

You must install Cisco-provided operating system 2000.2.4 or later via the Same Server Recovery method.

If you are currently running Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.4 or later, you must install the operating system again by using same server recovery method with disks that ship with this version of Cisco CallManager.

You cannot upgrade to Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.4 (or later) from a previous version of the operating system.

About Removing Drives

After you verify that you have a good backup of data, you can remove a drive to save configured data; however, you must insert a replacement drive into the server before you begin the operating system procedures.

Before you begin the operating system installation, make sure that you have all drives in the server and verify that the drives are functional. For example, insert two drives for the MCS-7835 and four drives for the MCS-7845.

You must also remove additional hard drives from the server. Neglecting to perform these tasks causes failure of the Cisco CallManager installation and the loss of data/configuration settings from drive mirroring.

About Name Resolution

After installing the operating system and before installing Cisco CallManager, you must configure name resolution for the backup location.

About NT and Microsoft Active Directory Domains

Cisco requires that you remove and do not add any servers to the NT Domain or the Microsoft Active Directory Domain until you complete all installation procedures on all servers in the cluster. The installation fails if you do not perform this task.

About Data Recovery

Make sure that you choose Same Server Recovery during the operating system installation. Choosing this option ensures that the server retains the current network configuration data.

About Passwords

Make sure that you enter an Administrator password at the end of the operating system installation. If you leave the Administrator password blank, you cannot install Cisco CallManager on the server.

Ensure that this password is the same on every server in the cluster.

About Operating System Service Releases

Cisco strongly recommends that you do not install any operating system service releases until you complete the upgrade on every server in the cluster.

For step-by-step instructions on how to install the operating system, see the "Install the Operating System by Using Same Server Recovery (Required)" section.

45 to 75 minutes, depending on the server type

Step 11 

Use Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System OS/BIOS Upgrade Disk that ships with Cisco CallManager to upgrade the Cisco-provided operating system to version 2000.2.5 (or later).

Before you perform the upgrade, be sure to read the operating system readme information that is posted on the operating system cryptographic software page. You can navigate to the site from the Cisco CallManager software page at http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-voice.shtml.

45 to 75 minutes, depending on the server type

Step 12 

Download and install the latest Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System service release (2000-2-5sr2 or later). (Required)

The operating system service releases post on the voice products operating system cryptographic software page. You can navigate to the site from the Cisco CallManager software page.

For installation instructions, refer to the file-specific readme document, Cisco IP Telephony Operating System, SQL Server, Security Updates, and Installing the Operating System on the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server. To obtain the most recent version of these documents, go to http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-voice.shtml.

15 minutes, depending on the Internet connection

Step 13 

Download and install the latest OS-related security hotfixes, if any. (Recommended)

The operating system related security hotfixes post on the voice products operating system cryptographic software page. You can navigate to the site from the Cisco CallManager software page.

Refer to the file-specific readme document, Cisco IP Telephony Operating System, SQL Server, Security Updates, and Installing the Operating System on the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server. To obtain the most recent version of these documents, go to http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-voice.shtml.

5 minutes

Step 14 

Use the Cisco CallManager Installation, Upgrade, and Recovery Disks to install Cisco CallManager.

Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 3a, and DC Directory automatically install when you install Cisco CallManager via the disks.

About Configuring Name Resolution on the Backup Location

After installing the operating system installation and before installing Cisco CallManager, you must configure name resolution for the backup location.

About Data Restoration

The disks that you insert for the Cisco CallManager installation also restores the data that you backed up by using backup utility version 3.5.52 or later. The restoration retains all TCP/IP configuration settings, but you lose all NIC settings that you have manually configured; for example, hard-coded Speed/Duplex settings. You must manually configure these settings after you install all servers in the cluster. Only the data that is contained on the publisher database server restores to the destination that you specify.

For example, if Cisco TFTP does not reside on the publisher database server, the restoration at the end of the upgrade erases all customized TFTP information, such as specific phone or gateway loads. If you want to retain this information, you must reconfigure the system, so the loads exist on the publisher database server, or you must manually save this data before the restoration. Be aware that the restoration launches automatically.

During the restoration, if your location is a network directory, you must click the Browse button and manually highlight the MCS.sti file. Failure to highlight the file causes the upgrade to fail.

About Installed Services

All services that display in the Service Activation window of Cisco CallManager Serviceability install, but only the services that you configured prior to the upgrade activate after the upgrade completes and the server reboots.

If you want to run additional services, you must activate the service on each server in which you want the service to run. You must perform this task by browsing into Cisco CallManager Serviceability from a PC that does not have Cisco CallManager installed. For more information on how to activate services and for service considerations, refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide. Cisco CallManager places services in an inactive state until the upgrade completes.

For step-by-step instructions on installing Cisco CallManager, see the "Upgrade the Operating System to Cisco-Provided Version 2000.2.5 (or Later) (Required)" section.

Restoring the Data— up to 70 minutes, depending on the size of the Cisco CallManager and CDR database

Installing Cisco CallManager—45 to 90 minutes

Step 15 

Upgrade the subscriber servers in the cluster.

See the "Upgrading Cisco CallManager 3.2 Subscriber Servers" procedure.

Depends on the size of the cluster.

Remove the System from the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain and Reboot the Server (Required, If Configured)


Tip You can perform this task on all servers in the cluster at the same time.

The reboot causes call-processing interruptions if done at the same time.



Caution When a server exists in a domain during an upgrade, authentication between servers may fail, or the non-default domain security policies may restrict Cisco CallManager from building critical NT accounts. Failing to remove the system from the domain and add it to a work group may cause upgrade errors, upgrade failures, or a total system failure, which includes a loss of data and a complete reinstallation of Cisco CallManager. Do not place the servers back into the domain until you have completed the upgrade procedures for every server in the cluster.

Convert any servers that exist in the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain by performing the following procedure:

Procedure


Step 1 Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > System.

Step 2 Click the Network Identification tab.

Step 3 Click the Properties button.

Step 4 Click the Workgroup radio button and enter a name, for example, WRKGRP, in the corresponding field.

Step 5 Click OK.

Step 6 When prompted to do so, reboot the server.

Step 7 Log in to the server by using the Administrator password.

Step 8 Perform this procedure on every server in the cluster that exists in the NT Domain.

Step 9 Go to the Domain Controller and remove the computer accounts for the Cisco CallManager servers in the cluster.


Disable and Stop Third-Party, Cisco-Verified, and Cisco-Provided Coresident Applications and Reboot the Server (Required)


Tip You must perform this task on all servers in the cluster at the same time.

The reboot may cause call-processing interruptions.


The following platform agents may interfere with the Cisco CallManager installation: antivirus services, intrusion detection services (for example, Cisco Security Agent), OEM server agents, server management agents, VOIP monitoring/performance monitoring, or remote access/remote management agents. Disabling platform agents and services, such as performance monitoring (for example, NetIQ), antivirus (Cisco-verified McAfee services), intrusion detection, and remote management services, ensures that you do not encounter issues that are associated with these services.

This document provides procedures for disabling Cisco-verified McAfee antivirus services only. If you need assistance with disabling other services or applications, refer to the corresponding documentation that accompanies the product.

To disable the McAfee antivirus services, perform the following tasks:

Procedure


Step 1 Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

Step 2 From the Services window, right-click one of the antivirus services; that is, Network Associates Alert Manager, Network Associates McShield, or Network Associates Task Manager, and choose Properties.

Step 3 In the Properties window, verify that the General tab displays.

Step 4 In the Service Status area, click Stop.

Step 5 From the Startup type drop-down list box, choose Disabled.

Step 6 Click OK.

Step 7 Perform Step 1 through Step 6 for all Cisco-approved McAfee antivirus services; for example, Network Associates Alert Manager, Network Associates McShield, and Network Associates Task Manager.

Step 8 Reboot the server and verify that the services are not running.


Caution Make sure that the services do not start after the reboot.



Caution If Cisco-verified antivirus or intrusion detection software is not currently installed on the server, Cisco strongly recommends that you do not install the software until you complete the entire upgrade/installation of all servers in the cluster.

Remove Previous Versions of the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server Backup Utility (Required)

Uninstall any previous versions of the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility by performing the following procedure.

Back Up Existing Data (Required)


Caution The Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility does not back up any operating system files except Host/LMhost, if these files exist on the server. For a list of files that the utility backs up, refer to Using Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility, Version 3.5.52 (or later). To obtain the latest version of the document, see http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/backup/index.htm.

You must back up the publisher database before you install the operating system. Perform the following procedure:

Procedure


Step 1 Right-click the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility icon in the Windows 2000 system tray and choose Start backup now.

Step 2 In the pane on the left side of the window, choose the publisher database server.

Step 3 Click Start backup.

Step 4 After the backup completes, verify that the backup completed successfully. The Backup Utility Viewer displays the status of the backup operation by highlighting each task as it occurs. Use the information that is generated in the log window to help identify problems. When the current status returns to "Waiting until <time> on <date>," the backup is complete. The last line in the log file indicates that the log is closed.

You can obtain the StiBack.log from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cisco\Logs on the backup server. If you receive the following error messages or other error messages in the log file, the process did not successfully back up the data:

Cisco CallManager database could not be found on <Server Name>.

Could not determine APPS version

Could not find a CCM/ART/CDR SQL database on <Server Name>

Error finding SQL database

Error enumerating registry keys on <Server Name>

Open file request returned Not Enough Space

Step 5 After the backup completes and you verify that no errors occurred, remove the Cisco CallManager Backup Utility Disk from the drive.



Caution If you have not backed up coresident applications on the server, you will lose the data when you perform the operating system installation. Back up these applications now.

Verify That the dbname.ini and backup.ini Files Exist for the STI_DATA Drive; Copy the Files to the Network Directory Where the MCS.sti File Exists (Strongly Recommended)


Caution Cisco strongly recommends that you verify that the dbname.ini and backup.ini files exist on the publisher database server. Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility, Version 3.5.52 (or later), creates these files during the backup. If these files do not exist, you cannot restore the MCS.sti file.

The files exist in the Recovery directory on the STI_Data drive. Depending on the system, these files exist on the D: or E: drive. For example, the files may exist on the publisher database server in one of the following locations: D:\recover\<name of file> or E:\recover\<name of file>.

Important Information and Resources

Step 1 

Verify that you have performed all pre-upgrade tasks.

See the "Before You Begin" section.

Step 2 

Verify that you have removed all servers from the NT or Microsoft Active Directory Domain.

See the "Remove the System from the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain and Reboot the Server (Required, If Configured)" section.

Step 3 

Verify that you have disabled and stopped all third-party, Cisco-verified, and Cisco-provided coresident applications that run on the server. Make sure that you have rebooted the server.

See the "Disable and Stop Third-Party, Cisco-Verified, and Cisco-Provided Coresident Applications and Reboot the Server (Required)" section.

Step 4 

Run the ServPrep utility.

See the "Run the ServPrep Utility (Required)" section.

Step 5 

Using the Cisco-provided operating system disk, install Cisco-provided operating system 2000.2.4 (or later).

If you are currently running Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.4 or later, you must install the operating system again using same server recovery method with disks that ship with this version of Cisco CallManager.

You cannot upgrade to Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.4 from a previous version of the operating system.

See the "Install the Operating System by Using Same Server Recovery (Required)" section. Consider the same guidelines for the subscriber servers that you used for the publisher database server.

Step 6 

Use Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System OS/BIOS Upgrade Disk that ships with Cisco CallManager to upgrade the Cisco-provided operating system to version 2000.2.5 (or later).

Before you perform the upgrade, be sure to read the operating system readme information that is posted on the operating system cryptographic software page. You can navigate to the site from the Cisco CallManager software page at http://www.cisco.com/kobayashi/sw-center/sw-voice.shtml.

Step 7

Perform the Cisco CallManager installation on one server at a time.

See the "Installing Cisco CallManager on Subscriber Database Server(s)" section.


Caution You must perform the Cisco CallManager installation serially; that is, on one server at a time. After you reboot the server and after you verify that the server pulled the subscription from the publisher database server, you can begin the upgrade on the next server.

Step 10 

After you complete the installation on all servers in the cluster, perform post-upgrade tasks.

See the "Performing Post-Upgrade Tasks" section.

Remove the System from the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain and Reboot the Server (Required, If Configured)


Tip You can perform this task on all servers in the cluster at the same time.

The reboot causes call-processing interruptions if done at the same time.



Caution When a server exists in a domain during an upgrade, authentication between servers may fail, or the non-default domain security policies may restrict Cisco CallManager from building critical NT accounts. Failing to remove the system from the domain and add it to a work group may cause upgrade errors, upgrade failures, or a total system failure, which includes a loss of data and a complete reinstallation of Cisco CallManager. Do not place the servers back into the domain until you have completed the upgrade procedures for every server in the cluster.

Convert any servers that exist in the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain by performing the following procedure:

Procedure


Step 1 Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > System.

Step 2 Click the Network Identification tab.

Step 3 Click the Properties button.

All servers except the publishing database server maintain subscriber databases, which are copies of the publisher database server. If you are configuring a subscriber database server, make sure that the server that you are installing can connect to the publishing database server, so the installation can continue. The installation process necessitates this connection, so the publisher database server can be copied to the local drive on the subscriber server. To make sure that a good connection exists between the servers, issue a ping command from the subscriber server to the publisher database server before you try to authenticate to it. If you are using Domain Name System (DNS), use a fully qualified domain name (for example, `hostname.cisco.com') with the ping command. If the ping command is not successful, you can also try to access the publisher database server from all subscriber servers by choosing Start > Run, entering \\<Publisher Server Name>\C$, and then by clicking OK. If the publisher database server cannot access the subscriber server, you must exit the installation program, fix the problem, and begin the installation process again on the subscriber server.


Step 7 Ensure that the Complete radio button is chosen.

Step 8 In the Server Type window, perform the following procedure:

a. Click the Subscriber radio button.

b. Enter the computer name of the publisher database server.


Caution If you enter the IP address or fully qualified DNS of the publisher database server, the installation fails.

c. Click Next.


Caution When entering passwords for the local Administrator and SA (SQL Server system administrator) accounts, enter alphanumeric characters only. The account password must match on every server in the cluster.

Step 9 In the Administrator password window, enter the local Windows administrator password.

This password must match the Windows administrator password that is used on the publisher database server.

Click Next.

Step 10 Enter the Private Password Phrase for the cluster; confirm the private password phrase and click Next.

The private password phrase contains 1 to 15 characters. This phrase may contain English lower-case letters, English upper-case letters, Westernized Arabic Numerals, and the following non-alphanumeric special characters: { } . < > : ? / | \ ` ~ ! @ $ ^ & * ( ) _ - +.

This password must match the Private Password Phrase that you entered on the publisher database server.

Step 11 In the SQL Password window, perform the following procedure:

a. Enter the SA (SQL Server system administrator) password.

This password must match the SA password that you entered on the publisher database server.

b. Press the Tab key.

c. To confirm the password, enter the password again; then, click Next.

Step 12 Now that the Cisco CallManager and other included software are ready to be installed, click Install. This part of the installation takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your server type.

Continue to wait while the installation progresses.

Step 13 A message displays indicating that you need to insert the next upgrade disk. Insert Cisco CallManager 4.0(1) Installation, Upgrade, and Recovery Disk 2 and click OK.

A message displays indicating that you need to install the first upgrade disk again.

Step 14 Insert the Cisco CallManager 4.0 Installation, Upgrade, and Recovery Disk 1 of 2 and click OK.

Step 15 When the Cisco CallManager installation completes, click Finish to exit the wizard.

Step 16 To restart the server, click Yes.

Step 17 After the server reboots, remove the disk from the drive.

Step 18 Log in by using the Administrator account and password.
