== Preparing to Install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software ==

Before you install the Web Server software, you must do the tasks in this table.

{| border = 1
|-
!Task
!See this document or section
|-
|

Ensure that you meet all the system requirements for installing the Web Server software.
|

[[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- System Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0]]
|-
|

Learn about Segmented Meeting Access-2S (SMA-2S). Determine if you need to follow the installation instructions in that section instead.
|

[[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software in a Segmented Meeting Access (SMA-2S) Configuration#Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software in a Segmented Meeting Access (SMA-2S) Configuration|Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software in a Segmented Meeting Access (SMA-2S) Configuration]] module
|-
|

Ensure that you have a server on which to install the Web Server software. The server on which you install the Web Server software will be reformatted during the installation and all existing data will be lost. We suggest using an unformatted server.

The Web Server software is installed on a Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS). (You may also install it on the exact equivalent server from a different manufacturer.)

We recommend that you dedicate a Cisco MCS or exact equivalent on which to install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software.

Confirm that your Cisco MCS has sufficient disk space to allow for the storage of applications, attachments, recordings, and meeting and profile database information, which will grow over time.
|

Cisco MCS installation documentation at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/voiceapp/ps378/prod_installation_guides_list.html
|-
|

Install the Cisco MCS operating system and the latest service pack on the Cisco MCS on which you are going to install the Web Server software.
|

Cisco MCS installation documentation at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/win_os/install/os200312.html
|-
|

Connect the port to the network.
|
|-
|

Configure the network interface card (NIC) with an individual IP address and distinct hostname. The hostname must be resolvable.

'''Note: ''' Unlike earlier releases, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 has only one NIC.
|

"Configuring Network Settings" in the post-installation tasks in ''Installing the Operating System on the Cisco Unified Communications Server Version 2003.1.2'' which can be found here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/win_os/install/os200312.html

=== About Installing SQL Server on a Remote, Standalone Server ===

The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software requires SQL Server. You can choose to install SQL Server on the web server on which you are installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software or on a remote, standalone server.

If you install SQL Server on the same server, the Web Server software installation program installs SQL Server 2000 and service pack 4 on your local system automatically; in this case, no pre-installation steps are required.

If you choose to install SQL Server on a remote, standalone server, install both SQL Server 2000 and the appropriate service pack on a separate Windows server ''before'' installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software.

See [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- System Requirements for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0]] for information about the required service pack.

=== Gathering Installation Values ===

Gather and record the information in [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software#Table: Installation Values for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software|Table: Installation Values for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software]].

===== Table: Installation Values for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software =====

{| border = 1
|-
!Parameter
!Description
|-
|

Hostname of primary MeetingPlace server
|

Hostname of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server to which this Web Server will be attached.

We recommend that you enter a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).

If you are installing the Web Server software on multiple web servers that share a database and point to the same Application Server, make sure that the Application Server hostname on all of these web servers is the same.

Ensure that you can access the Web Server by this hostname.
|-
|

Client IP address entry
|

IP address of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server on which you are currently installing the Web Server software.
|-
|

Server location
|
* Internal (Full Access)-The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software is installed with all features enabled, and the web server on which it is installed is placed inside your corporate network. In SMA-2S deployments, this web server functions as the internal web server.
* External (Limited Access)-The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software is installed with attend-only capability, and the web server on which it is installed is placed outside your corporate firewall in an Internet-accessible network, such as a DMZ. In SMA-2S deployments, this web server functions as the external web server.

The first time that you install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software on a web server, select Internal. You can select external for subsequent web servers. If you only have one web server, you must select Internal.

For more information on SMA-2S configurations, see the [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software in a Segmented Meeting Access (SMA-2S) Configuration#Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software in a Segmented Meeting Access (SMA-2S) Configuration|Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software in a Segmented Meeting Access (SMA-2S) Configuration]] module.
|-
|

Database Location
|
* Local server-To install SQL Server 2000 on the web server on which you are also installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software.
* Existing remote server-To connect to a remote, standalone SQL Server that was previously installed on a separate system.

For information about installing SQL Server, see [[Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 8.0 -- Installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server Software#About Installing SQL Server on a Remote, Standalone Server|About Installing SQL Server on a Remote, Standalone Server]].
|-
|

Remote SQL Server name
|

(Optional) If you are connecting to a remote, standalone SQL Server, enter its hostname. Ensure that you can access the server by this hostname.
|-
|

SQL Server account info
|
* If you are installing SQL Server on the web server on which you are also installing the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software, the system automatically enters '''sa''' as your user name. Do not change this value. You can change it after the installation.
* If you are connecting to a remote, standalone SQL Server, we strongly suggest that you enter '''sa''' as your user name. After the installation, you can configure a least-privileged SQL account and configure the web server software to use this account instead.
'''Caution! ''' The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Server software installation program does not create or verify the existence of the SQL Server account nor does it check the validity of the user name and password combination.
|-
|

SQL Server password
|

Password for the SQL Server user name. Enter this twice.

'''Note: ''' You cannot use a blank password. If you are connecting to a remote, standalone SQL Server, the password you enter during this installation must match the SQL Server password that you used when originally installed SQL Server on the remote, standalone server.
|}
