'''Main page:''' [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1]]

'''Up one page:''' [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- Installation|Installation]]

The Cisco MCS on which you install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server will be reformatted during the installation. We suggest using an unformatted server.

== Before You Begin ==

Complete all the tasks in [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- How to Prepare to Install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server|How to Prepare to Install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server]].

If you are configuring a failover deployment, see
* [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- About Failover Options for the Application Server|About Failover Options for the Application Server]] to learn about the failover deployment options.
* "Configuring Application Server Failover for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace" module in the ''Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 7.1 Configuration Guide'' at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/products_installation_and_configuration_guides_list.html for information on using the CLI to configure failover.

== Procedure ==

# Insert the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server installation DVD into the DVD-ROM drive of the Cisco MCS on which you are going to install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server.
# Boot the computer from the DVD.
#* The system completes a number of checks, including checking that your platform is valid, that you have an existing operating system, and completing a media check.
#: '''Note:''' The media check can take up to 15 minutes.
#* The system checks the hard drive, the BIOS, and the RAID. If it needs to reconfigure any part of the system, it displays two green circular arrows next to the component name and automatically reboots. After rebooting, the installation process restarts at the checks. You can skip the media check if you have already done it.
#: '''Note:''' Depending on your system configuration, the system may reboot up to three times. This happens automatically.
#* Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Linux operating system from the DVD takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
#* When the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Linux operating system installation is complete, keep the DVD in the DVD-ROM drive but do not close it.
#* The system reboots automatically.
# Click '''Next''' from the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Welcome page.
# Enter values in the following fields on the Network Setup page. All fields are required except for the Mail Server and Secondary DNS fields:
#: '''Caution! ''' Be sure you enter the correct network setting information here. If you need to change any of this information after the installation is complete, you must use the '''net''' command. See the "Command Reference" module in the ''Reference Guide'' at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_technical_reference_list.html for information about using the '''net''' command.

# Click '''Next'''.
# Select the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- How to Prepare to Install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Time zone|Time zone]] that best represents where the system resides.
# Ensure that the checkbox next to '''System clock uses UTC''' is checked then click '''Next'''.
# Set the date and time.
#: '''Caution! ''' Be sure you enter the correct date and time. You must reinstall the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Linux operating system and application if you need to change the date or time of your server in the future. Never change the clock to correct a time zone setting.
# (Optional, but highly recommended) Synchronize the clock on your computer with a remote time server by completing the following steps.
#: '''Caution! ''' If you do not enable your system to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server, your system will depend on the internal clock of the Application Server. This internal clock can drift over time and can cause serious problems with your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system.
## Click the Network Time Protocol tab.
## Check '''Enable Network Time Protocol'''.
## Enter the address of the NTP server.
## Click '''Add''' then click '''Next'''.
## Click '''Next''' again when prompted.
# When the system displays the Cisco Application DVD page, close the DVD-ROM drive and click '''Install...'''.
# Wait a few minutes while the installer loads following the prompts as they display.
# Verify the DNS values you entered in [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Step 4|Step 4]].
#* From the Review Current eth0 Network Settings page, review the values, correct if necessary then click '''Next'''.
#:: '''Caution! ''' If you change the primary or secondary DNS server address, you may experience errors. We do not recommend that you change those values here. If you do change the values and experience problems, see [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- How to Troubleshoot the Application Server Installation#DNS Entry Problems|DNS Entry Problems]].
#* From the Review Current DNS Network Settings page, review the values, correct if necessary then click '''Next'''.
#* From the Review New Network Settings page, review the values, correct if necessary then click '''Next'''.
#:: '''Note:''' Changing the values on these pages overwrites the values you entered earlier.
# When the Configure NIC Settings page appears, complete one of the following:
#* If your system uses [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- How to Prepare to Install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Auto Negotiation|Auto Negotiation]], click '''On'''.
#:: The system automatically takes you to [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Step 15|Step 15]].
#* If your system does not use [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- How to Prepare to Install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Auto Negotiation|Auto Negotiation]], click '''Off ''' then proceed to [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Step 14|Step 14]].
#:: '''Note:''' Changing this value here overwrites the value you entered earlier.
# (For systems that do not use auto-negotiation) Set the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- How to Prepare to Install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Speed (Full Duplex)|Speed (Full Duplex)]] and [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- How to Prepare to Install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Duplex mode|Duplex mode]] values then click '''Next'''.
#: '''Note: ''' Review these network setting values carefully. Changing the values here overwrite the values you entered earlier. If you need to change them after the installation is complete, you must use the '''net''' command. See the "Command Reference" module in the ''Reference Guide'' at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_technical_reference_list.html for information about the '''net''' command.

#* Passwords are case-sensitive.
#* Enter a PIN for the default web administrator. The PIN must be at least eight digits.
# Click '''Install'''.
#* The installation can take between 7 to 25 minutes.
#* When the installation is complete, the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace installer displays the Install Complete page.
# Click '''Done''' to finish the installation.
#* The DVD-ROM drive ejects the DVD.
# Remove the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace DVD.
#* If you did not make any changes to the network settings in [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Step 12|Step 12]], the Cisco Application DVD page appears. Proceed to [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.1 -- Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server#Step 19|Step 19]].
