Meeting Place Question

Hi Guys,
For a meeting place solustion, Is it must to have the MP Media Server ( MP 35XX) ? Or can we build up the solution only with Application/Conference server ( on MCS server) and MP Webex node ( on MCS server) ?
Thanks
Ragu

you can have Hardware Media Server or Express Media with MP 8
The Express Media Server is a set of software modules that reside on the Application Server.
Note: During installation, you will have the option to choose between the Hardware Media Server and Express Media Server for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace scheduled meeting mode. Ad-hoc meetings are only available in Express Media Server mode.
see the link which will help you find out all the details

Hi, could you please answer question in terms of Meeting Place?

Hi, I am working in a trouble shooting of meeting place, I got very confused these 2 question:
1) in a real conferencing senario, does each audio stream from a participant should go to Audio Blade (Media server) in order to mix together. if so and we have voice gateway conference resource, then what is it for ? I mean no use voice gateway DSP farm to setup a conference?
2) in version V7, each audio blade has 250 session ports ( G711 audio codec only), and for instance we have 2 blades, then it mean that all the participants all of the meeting in a same time should be no more than 500 ?
3) the audiao blade working mode in a shared pool ? or other machanism?
thanks in advance!

Good morning Fnu,
tons thanks to you, right not I get more clear of MP;
could you please correct me if I am wrong?
1) 1 ports means 1 session of audio, then if I have total 500 ports, then I can shedule 2 meetings, each has 250 participants, or I can shedule 100 meetings, each has 5 participants, correct?
2) when I schedule a meeting, then I wll reserving dedicated resouces on MCU, this means I can know which resource I will use in which blades before the meeting? I can check it in application server or somewhere else?
one of my client suffered weard issue that some participant hear choppy voice, should re-joint meeting again, or even sometime, the host should cancle meeting and need to set up again to resolve it
thanks!!!

Question in Cisco Unified Meeting Place 8.5 with Webex integration

Greetings,
Let us say that I have the following requirements for fresh installation:
UCS C210-M2
CUWL-Pro for users (700 users)
CUCM 8.6
Cisco unified Meeting Place 8.5
My concern is about Meeting place; one of the requirments is to order Meeting Place 8.5 for local (on-premises) audio conferencing, and use Cisco Webex (cloud) for Web & Video conferencing.
I have the following questions:
- What part numbers should be ordered for meeting place and Webex?
- CUWL-Pro comes with Webex ports included, can use those ports?
Thanks in advance..

Hi Anand,
For MP 8.5 new setup, you don't need a web server. Web server is an optional component only when you are upgrading the system from earlier MP releases.
If you are installing Webex node, it needs to be on a seperate MCS server (however, this is an optional component).
Application server and Express Media Server require only one UCS server if this is single node deployment.
Hardware requirements for application server and Webex node can be found in the following documents:

Meeting Place Directories service question

I have just deployed a new Meeting Place 8.0 with LDAP integration.
I have created the LDAP in CCM, and also create the directory services in Meeting Place.
However, when I checked the option "Update Now", it returns with the error
"Directory Service is not running in Active mode. Users will not be updated/deleted."
Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of the Active mode?
Many thanks.

In Directory Service Configuration
for Hostname for Active Directory Service*
you should specify FQDN of App Server. If there is an IP address the above error occurs.
Please find below MPDS.log which explains it all.

Meeting Place meeting ID customization

All, a different request I have been asked and am now asking you. A client would like to limit the Meeting IDs given out when a meeting is scheduled to 50 specific number strings. They have been running like this on their old meeting system for quite some time and require this feature moving forward. Apprently, they have a backup (hosted) system to which calls are re-routed where the meetings IDs are mirrored so no communication needs to be sent out to the meeting participants.
The scenario is - reception creates a meeting with a meeting ID of 10001 (for instance) and communicates that to the end user. If Meeting Place were to cease functioning prior to or during the meeting, they require that users would be able to dial the same number (after the telco have re-routed the destination to the backup hosted system) and input the exact same ID they were given by reception.
My question is, can this be done in MP and if so - where is this customization configured.
Thanks in advance for the asssitance.
Geoff

what does the Username for the dedicated email account for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace on the Microsoft Exchange Server indicate?
Example: [email protected]
Does that means that email notifications sent by meeting place will be sent by the email address [email protected]?

Meeting Place scheduling using the outlook plugin

Hi All,
I have a question related to Meeting Place 8, for each users or user groups, we can assign the role of:
1) Can attend and host video meeting
2) Can attend video meeting
But can we choose the type of meeting during scheduling? which means I can choose to use video meeting or not.
Many thanks,
Kai

My project was originally a 6.1 project, where I used Web Start.
I delete the project, create a new one, and now for a "Standard Execution", there is no more jar signing.
But using "Run file" acts always as "Run project" : it seems that is the intentionnal and - I hope - temporary : see issue 150514 : http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=150514

The following case was opened for this above question/problem:
http://wwwin-tools.cisco.com/casekwery/getServiceRequest.do?id=624495099
In summary,
It appears that a maintenance window of 45 minutes was configured for the meeting place server
at Dec 17 2012 16:00 NZD, and it blocked all further calls into the system.
In Meeting place 8.0 scheduling a maintenance windows will result in system reserving
all available access ports , resulting in total unavailability for new callers. However
existing calls will be preserved.
Please refer
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Release_8.0_--_Monitoring_and_Mai
ntaining_the_Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Web_Server#Scheduling_a_Maintenance_Window
Once all the ports are reserved system will disallow all new callers from joining the
meeting by giving error message 480, Temporarily in available
Pramoth stated:
Thanks for the finding. We didn't out the system under maintenance on that day.
Where can I check to confirm if the system was put under Maintenance mode during that
time.
The Engineer went on further to say
In meeting place 8.0 , while scheduling a meeting users can select an option called
'reserve all ports'. Selecting this option will create a meeting, in your case 6988 that
will block all access ports.
You can right click on meeting 6988 --> Select Meeting details --> Check 'Meeting
Type' and it will be 'reserve all ports'
Access ports are virtual software ports by which audio callers access application server.
When a person schedules a meeting and uses the option 'reserve all ports' ,system will
reserve all system access ports for that meeting making meeting place inaccessible for
anyone else for calling in. Since users are unable to call in or schedule meeting this
meeting will act as a maintenance window.
0x122 is the Unique Meeting id corresponding to meeting id 6988. You can confirm it if
you run 'mtginfo -m 6988' from you application server, it will display 0x122 as unique
meeting id.
just trying to provide some info to this question in case anyone runs across the same issue. they can see the notes/details that has been provided

Meeting Place Queries

Hi,
   I am having CCM(8.5) in cluster and meeting place,i have 2 Voice Gateways for my company,Currently Meeting Place runs on 1 Gateway which is used for calling and the other Voice Gateway is also usedfor calling but for other Office in same company,
   question is :-The Other Gateway which is used by OTHER OFFICE OF SAME COMPANY CAN IT BE USED FOR CONFIGURING OTHER NUMBER OF MEETING PLACE(as a back up MEEITNG PLACE) number??
         Any Help will be appreciated

Hi Yogesh,
MP does not perform digit analyisis. In other words, it will honour an INVITE sent to it regardless the number.
Be aware that MP is expected to be deployed on SIP trunk with CUCM.

Meeting Place 8.6

Hi,
I have some Querrys regaring meeting place 8.6 setup
1) Are the license of meeting place of 8.5 same for 8.6.1.2 or is there any cost involved ?
2) Meeting place 8.0.1.3 canot directly be upgraded to 8.6 but would require an intermediate upgrade to 8.0 MR1, am I Correct ?
3) Is the cisco windows OS same even if we have web server 8.5 instllated on it or 8.6 on it ?
Awaiting your help on the same.
Regards,
Ashish Bagla

Hi Ashish,
Let me answer your questions:
1. There is no difference between licenses for 8.5 and 8.6. The same license is being used.
2. You can migrate from 8.0.1.3 directly to 8.6:
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Release_8.6_--_Upgrading_and_Migration_Requirements#Migrating_from_Release_7.x_or_Release_8.0
Here you can read more about the migration process:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/meetingplace/8_6/english/install_guide/86mpinst/upgrading_software.html
Keep in mind that you cannot directly upgrade from 8.0 to 8.6. It is a different architecture. You need to create migration files on your MP8.0, build a clean MP8.6 server, and then perform a restore from migration files. Details about this process are documented in the link above.
3. For MP8.5 and 8.6, the same MPWin OS is used. However, MPWin OS used in 8.5/8.6 is different from Cisco IPTOS that is used on MP8.0.
I hope this helps.

Meeting Place 8.0 + Webex Node?

Hello to all,
We have purchased two IBM 7835 servers with the intention of building on as meeting place 8.0 (EMS) and one as a webex node,
The question I have is about the placement of the servers.
I have read the SRND and are still not sure where the webex node (collaboration) server is to be placed, the docs say this should typically be on the
inside network closest to participants
Also where is the best placement for the MP 8.0 server DMZ or Inside the nework,
I guess the collaborative model we are looking at is the
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace with Cisco WebEx Node for Cisco MCS
Any help or docs would be well appreciated.
Thanks
Rich

Hi all,
I encounter the same constraint, so I want to ask you :
We've deployed a Meeting place8.0.0.393 in LAN. Then a Webex Node for MCS will be added.
The concern is that Meeting place is deployed in that LAN, then the WebexNode will be installed there also (on premise).
Thus the DNS that will be used is like "myenterprise.local". ( mpapps1.myenterprise.local and wbxNode1.myenterprise.local)
Its not like .com or .org or any domain reachable from Intenet. the .local is not reachable from Internet.
So my question is : is it possible to use this domain.local in the place of the place of the FQDN of the webex node and Application Node fields?
Regards,
Antra

Meeting Place 8.6 Integration with Webex

Hi, I would like to get a better understanding of workflow and packet flow for MP 8.6 integration with Webex.
My customer is looking to initiate an on prem meeting with MP 8.6 via outlook scheduling /jabber (if possible). All audio and video would be on prem. Also, this would be a multipoint video call, so I am assuming an MCU would be required (unless MP 8.6 provide MCU capabilities).
Then, through a federated IM environment, my customer would like to be able to chat with an external partner via jabber and escalete the on prem MP8.6 conference to a Webex meeting to add the external partner to the meeting.
Questions
1. Are you able to walk me through how this would work?
2. Can you recommend a bill or materials based on the scenario and facts below? Right now I am assuming we need CUWL professional for required users, a UCS C210, an MCU and Webex subscription.
Current Assumptions & Questions
1. In this scenario the audio bridge would have to remain on prem and the external partner could request a call from meeting place to join the audi bridge back via Webex. Correct?
2. If am MCU is being used on prem for the multipoint video conference and the conference was escalated to a webex via jabber how many video connections to Webex would there be? Single multiplexed video from the MCU or individual video connections from on prem to Webex and Webex would combine the video sources?
3. Is Webex Node still required?
4. With MP 8.6 is scheduling still tightly integrated with Outlook?
Facts:
1. Users are a combination of CUWL standard and professional. Professional users for conferencing and mobile jabber.
2. Customer has TP envrironment which would be multipoint video participants
3. Customer has compatible CUCM and CUPS with MP 8.6
4. Jabber desktop will be installed on all clients
5. Customer is expanding PRI, ISR and DSP resources to support additional audio requirements

All - what have discoverd is Meeting Place node is going away. Meetings will be held in Webex moving forward and MP should be used as an on prem audio bridge only. Some new WebEx solutions are on the roadmap.

Meeting Place 8.5.3.4 - Change Directory Service Configuration

Hi Support Community
We have 3 CUCM clusters version 8.6.2
We have 1 Meeting Place 8.5.3.4 cluster with a primary and standby server
Meeting Place has directory service integration with 1 of the CUCM clusters and performs all user sync and authentication via AXL / LDAP
We now need to change the Meeting Place configuration for AXL server, used for authentication and sync, to another CUCM cluster, this will use exactly the same LDAP search base so all users and details will remain the same in CUCM and therefore we want nothing to change in Meeting Place so all users should remain the same with the same configuration and all meetings should remain the same.
It looks straight forward to change the AXL URL but then we discovered the below from the Meeting Place configuration guide :
" user updates, imports, and deletions are not supported from a redundant Cisco Unified Communications Manager, even if it is integrated with the same LDAP directory as the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This is because Directory Service user updates are tied to a field that is unique to each Cisco Unified Communications Manager server."
So we need to know how we go about changing the directory service configuration to point to another CUCM cluster for authentication and synchronization whilst keeping Meeting Place users and meetings in the Database unchanged.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Carl Ratcliffe

Hi Carl,
I've just received a final update. If you want to point your Directory Integration to a different CUCM server that is holding the same user database and runs AXL service, you should be able to just change the AXL URL on MP and point to this new server. After this change is made and saved, we recommend restarting services on MeetingPlace (SSH to the server with mpxadmin account, changing to 'root', and running 'mpx_sys restart' command). Once the services are restarted and system comes back up, go to User Configuration > Directory Service > Directory Service Configuration and perform a Full Sync (make sure that Profile Number setting under Profile Number Configuration section is set to New users only in order to avoid any profile # change if any of the user profiles in CUCM was updated in the meantime)
Please, let me know of any questions you might have.
Thank you.
