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:

Question about cisco unified callconnector for mscrm

Hi
I've successfully installed software on both workstation and MSCRM server, and it works well.
However, when I use "click to call" in MSCRM, a blank window keep poping up with message "The webpage you are viewing is trying to close the window. Do you want to close the window?"
My question is how to let IE close the window without the confirmation window.
I found some people use following Javascript to close the IE window.
              <script language=javascript>
                  function CloseWindow()
                    window.open('','_self','');
                    window.close();
              </script>
However, if anyone can let me know where is the place to add this code into, I would appreciate
Thanks
Eric

Hi!
No, it does not work with CUCM, it works with express only. Please refer to the data sheet below:
"Cisco Unified CallConnector for Microsoft Windows, especially designed for the small and medium-sized business (SMB) or branch-office user, is supported by Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express 4.0 and later."

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!!!

Unified Meeting Place Web Server

Hi
I'm installing MP 8.0 and did not receive a dvd with the webserver software. Does anyone know if it's available for download?

Meeting place 8.5.1 WebEx deployment and recording audio calls

Have MeetingPlace 8.5.1 application server (Web Ex deployment model -- 1 server) and we need to record our audio calls and that option displays error.
I looked over docs and configuration guidelines, and see no recording options on our config pages for users/user groups like the documentation states to enable this.
Do I need a audiorecording license, and if so, is the WebEx deployment model the correct model to work with recording? The cisco docs on this are not very clear and I haven't found a document that really lists/compares every feature available for each deployment model. The documents that mention audiorecording license talk about an Audio server or meetingplace deployment.
Thanks, Erick

I have this working now, I had to add a 1- to the access number so it was 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX on the Meeting Place web ex configuration page then redo the Webex configuratin setup.

Cisco Unified Personnel Communicator sociability Problem with ESSO-LM

Hi All,
First post of the forum got a curly one for you all.
We are piloting ESSO-LM v11.1.1.5.0 and also piloting Cisco Unified Personnel Communicator (CUPC) 8.5.1.17660 on Windows XP SP3. We are experiencing an error message and BSOD. The BSOD only occurs if theuser selects 'ok' to error message. I am wondering if anyone else running ESSO-LM experiencing this problem or is it unique to our environment?
The following error message appears when the end use unlocks the workstation.
The error message is;
Title: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Content: Runtime Error!
Program:\??\C:\Windows\system32\winlogon.exe
The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the applications support team for more information.
The testing I have done;
I have uninstalled ESSO-LM and left CUPC installed error no longer occurs.
I have uninstalled CUPC and left ESSO-LM installed error no longer occurs.
No dump file is created when Windows BSOD's nor are any Windows event created when the error message appears. As ESSO-LM is not crashing there are no logs created in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Passlogix. Also their is no indication of errors in the CUPC logs.
If anyone can offer any advise on this problem we are experiencing I would appreciate it?

Just an update for you all. We have logged a support case but tech support have not been able to resolve the problem. It appears that if you are running SSO-LM, SSPR and Cisco CUPC they all hook into the Windows GINA. Uninstalling SSPR and changing the SSO-LM install to support Network Provider not Gina Provider does not produce the error. Not really a fix as SSPR is core to our environment.

Meeting Place 8.5 Calling Webex participants for Audio

I have MP8.5 intergration with Webex and Users are managed by Webex.
The Application Server is set up for Audio only. Users are synced up with Webex.
MP is set up as the audio controller for WebEx meetings.
Users that log into Webex for a meeting are asked to either dial in or have WebEx do a call back using the MP AS.
Users who dial in get to the MP AS and can be seen using the audio, Audio meeting works fine. Users who try and use WebEx call back are not getting called. When users are asked to put in their call back number the Webex prompt is forcing USA (or anyother dial plan) and this is causing a "1" to be prefixed to the number the user wants called. The MP AS is integrated with a CUCM across a SIP trunk. The internal users all have to dial "9" to access a outside line.
I have two questions.
How do I force the Webex to stop prefixing the "1" to numbers it is calling?
When the AS tries to call out to users, how do I get it to prefix a "9" so it can dial out of my system?
As always any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
I have the same problem.
I cannot make internal call-back (to my Directory number) from the WebEx
There are some countries (including mine) that are not in the WebEx call back menu, even if I have control of the my MP and CUCM.
And the E164 is ot fullfilled. If i want to call another number.

Meeting place 8.0 and WebEx Node Integration issue.

Hello All,
We have installed MP 8.x and Webex node on seperate servers. After this we have installed a webserver.exe and sql server on a different server and configured the GatewaySIM and sql. connectivity is fine.
1. Please let us know how to login to MP user portal. (What is the URL)
2. How to integrate Webex with MP?
3. Is there a good document to bring up the webex web interface.
Regards,
Shaijal

Take a look at http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_Release_8.0_--_Integrating_Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace_with_Cisco_WebEx
That has all the information I used to eventually get the MP WebEx integration to work for us.
If you have problems you may struggle to get a good answer from Cisco on this, unfortunately there is very little knowledge of WebEx within Cisco TAC, something they badly need to address.

Cisco unified Operation Manager 2.3 with CUCM 8.6

Hi Guys,
My Customer today have CUOM 2.3 and CUCM 7.1.3. He is planning to do upgrade CUOM 8.6 and CUCM 8.6. My question is: Is it possible to do upgrade CUOM directly to 8.6? If CUOM to be upgraded to 8.X do we need to purchase the upgrade license?
Thanks,
Wilson

I don't think you can install on top of CUOM 2.3, a CUOM 8.X. Not even a 8.0
As said, you can restore a CUOM 2.3 backup on an 8.X.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_unified_operations_manager/8.5/installation/guide/install.html#wp1054045
As far as I can see after CUOM 8.5 the 2.3 migration path is no longer mentioned.
Cheers,
Michel

Cisco Meeting Place - lab requirements

Hi All,
Appreciate if anyone can just give me a quick pointer.
Apparently; I have limited/no knowledge of implementing the Cisco Meeting Place.
I would like to setup a demo lab/environment for practise.
I managed to obtain the Cisco Meeting Place 7.0 thru the Cisco Unified Workspace for Partners Software & licensing kit.
It came with 4 CDs
1. Cisco Unified Meeting Place Web Conferencing
2. CIsco Unified Meeting Place Application Server
3. CIsco IP Telephony Server Meeting Place (MCS7825,hp servers)
4. Cisco IP Telephony Server Meeting Place (IBM Servers)
I would like to install it in a VM environment.
What else is needed from my side to run Meeting place as a demo lab??
I went thru its hardware requirements
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Unified_MeetingPlace%2C_Release_7.0_--_Hardware_Requirements
Application Server
Media Server
Web Server
Would i be able to run all the above 3 on VMware?

This works on your voice network. There is a centralized server usually located in the same location as your CUCM with a SIP connection between the two. Bandwidth requirements are the same as a phone call. If you are using G.711, then 60K+ per call. Each participant calls into the system on either an internal number or on a PSTN line with a dedicated phone number(s). The enter the meeting ID and are in the meeting. Beside scheduled meetings reservationless is also supported. The MP Application Server handles managing the voices in a meeting and is the only server required.
MP runs on specific MCS server listed below and won’t install/be supported on other MCS servers.
MCS 7845-I3-RC2 Dual Intel E5540 2.53 GHz, 4x300 HDD, 8GB RAM
HP equivalent: DL380-G6 Server, part number AX693A
MCS 7845-I2-RC2 (end-of-sale 12/09) Dual Intel 5140 2.33 GHz, 4x146GB HDD, 4GB RAM
MCS 7845-H2-RC2 (end-of-sale 7/09) Dual Intel 5140 2.33 GHz, 4X146 GB HDD, 4GB RAM
HP equivalent: DL380-G5 Server, part number 470064-887
MCS 7835-I3-RC1 Single Intel 5504 Quad-core 2.00 GHz, 2x146 HDD, 4GB RAM
HP equivalent: DL380-G6 Server, part number AX690A
Note: The MCS 7835-I3-RC1 does not support multinode deployments.
The following URL (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/tsd_products_support_series_home.html) is the location of a lot of the MP documentation.
Hope this helps.

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

you should specify FQDN of App Server. If there is an IP address the above error occurs.

Hi James
This Ask the Expert session may not be the right place to show you all the essential steps for how the workflow can be related to task library to achieve your initial setup flow chart, and onboarding a new client.
However, I can briefly walktthrough "Client blade Provisioning" task so it might give some idea and how you can go about.
Assumption : the infrastructure used in the following examples consists of:
- Vmware VCenter
- Cisco UCS
- NetApp ONTAP controlled storage
To be able to provision Cisco UCS blade server in automated fashion, you need to create and define the below UCS entities beforehand.
- Create UCS Organisation
- Create UUID Pool
- Create MAC Address Pool
- Create WWNN Pool
- Create WWPN Pool
- Create vHBA Templates
- Create vNIC Templates
- Create UCS Policy vHBAs
- Create UCS Policy vNICs
- Create Storage Policy
- Create Network Policy
- Create SAN Boot Policy
- Create LAN Boot Policy
Once you create all the policy above, you are good to set up a workflow container for the client blade provisoining.
1. Create UCS Service Profile
- Add a ‘Create UCS Service Profile’ workflow task and select ‘Map to User Input’ for ‘Service Profile Name’. Select the ‘Service Profile Name’ dropdown as created when the workflow container was created.
- ‘Create UCS Service Profile’ inputs. Ensure that Storage_Policy, Network_Policy, Boot_Policy_LAN and Boot_Policy_SAN entries are correct.
- Once this is done , you can move to SAN zoning.
2. Configure SAN Zoning
- In this step, a new workflow task will be created in order to configure SAN zoning. Rather than use a specific user input for this task, output variables from the previous ‘Create UCS Service Profile’ workflow task will be used as input items for this task.
- Open the workflow and search for the workflow task ‘configure san zoning’. Drag the storage workflow task into the work area and map the following user inputs.
Create Flexible Volume
- Create a ‘Create Flexible Volume’ workflow task in order to build a NetApp flexible volume and provision it for the required size.
- Once again, reconfigure the workflow such that the success criteria from the ‘Configure SAN Zoning’ workflow task proceeds to ‘Create Flexible Volume’.
Create LUN
- Using the NetApp ONTAP ‘Create LUN’ workflow task, create a LUN located within the volume created during the previous step. In order to do this, map the Volume Name user input to the output from the previous ‘Create Flexible Volume’ workflow task.
- Next, enter the LUN details, ensuring that the configured size is less than that of the volume created in the previous step.
- As before, re-map the workflow designer flow so that the successful output of the Create Flexible Volume workflow task flows into this task.
3. Create Initiator Group
- Create a ‘Create Initiator Group’ workflow task in order to build a NetApp ONTAP Initiator Group. Map the ‘Filer Identity Name’ attribute to the OUTPUT_FILER_IDENTITY output variable as supplied by the ‘Create NetApp Flexible Volume’ workflow task as created earlier in this workflow.
- Once again, modify the the workflow designer flow so that the successful output from ‘Create LUN’ flows into ‘Create Initiator Group’
4. Add Initiator to Initiator Group
- Create an ‘Add Initiator to Initiator Group’ workflow task and map the ‘Initiator Group Name’ entry to the OUTPUT_IGROUP_IDENTITY output variable from the ‘Create NetApp Initiator Group’ workflow task and map the ‘Initiator Name’ entry to the SP_VHBA1 output variable from the ‘Create UCS Service Profile’ workflow task created earlier in this flow.
- Repeat this task for in order to add initiator name entry for SP_VHBA2. Once done, re-map the successful output from the two Create Initiator Group workflow tasks so that they flow into each other as follows:
- Move onto the next step in order to map the created LUN to the initiator group.
And the rest of steps are fairly similar to above. Create a Workflow and map the User Input Mappings".
5. Map LUN to Initiator Group
6. Modify UCS Boot Policy LUN ID
7. Select UCS Server
8. Associate UCS Service Profile
9. Power On UCS Server
10. Modify UCS Service Profile Boot Policy
11. Add VLAN to Service Policy
12. Disassociate UCS Service Profile
13. Wait for Specified Duration
14. Associate UCS Service Profile
15. Power On UCS Server
16. Register Host with VCenter

Andrew
