Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.0 -- Restrictions for Application Server Failover
From DocWiki
Main page: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.0
Up one level: Configuration
- Not all Application Server configurations are replicated between the active and standby servers. If you make any configuration changes after you set up Application Server failover, make sure you follow Configuring the Application Servers in a Failover Deployment.
- Directory Service between two Application Servers is not supported in a failover deployment.
- Only the database and Apache Tomcat processes run on a standby server, which you will notice if you enter the mpx_sys status command on the standby server.
- If you need to upgrade your system after setting up Application Server failover, make sure that you follow the failover-specific upgrade instructions in Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.0.
- Do not leave a standby server out of production for a long time, as that can cause the primary server to fail. If the standby server must be brought down for days or weeks at a time, disable replication during this time.
- To use Single Sign On (SSO) authentication with Microsoft Outlook in a failover environment, you must install SSL on both the active server and the standby server.
- If you are using SSL on your system, you must manually transfer all files in the following directories from the active server to the standby server:
- /usr/local/enrollment (for Application Server SSL and single sign-on authentication for users who schedule meetings from Microsoft Outlook)
- /opt/cisco/meetingplace/web/current/etc/conf/ (for Cisco WebEx integration)
