Preinstallation Tasks: Web Conferencing in a Load Balancing Configuration

Preparing the Internal Cluster

Before You Begin
Review the "Load Balancing Requirements" section in System Requirements for Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/ps5664/ps5669/prod_installation_guides_list.html.
To Prepare the Internal Cluster
Determine and create a common domain Windows administration account.
Step 1
This account is used by all of the web servers in this cluster. It starts Web Conferencing services and
allows all web servers in this cluster to access the shared storage location by using a Universal Naming
Convention (UNC) path.
After creating the account, write down the value, which you will need later.
Note
Determine and create a shared storage location.
Step 2
You can create this folder on the same machine as your first internal web server, or on a separate
machine. Keep in mind that this shared storage location is where attachments are stored and, therefore,
where all web servers in this cluster go to find attachments.
After creating the location, write down the value as a UNC path, for example, \\servername\shared
folder\MPWeb.

Preparing the External Cluster

Before You Begin
(Optional) Read the
chapter to understand the difference between internal and external servers.
To Prepare the External Cluster
Determine and create a common domain Windows administration account.
Step 1
This account is used by all of the web servers in this cluster. It starts Web Conferencing services and
allows all web servers in this cluster to access the shared storage location using a UNC path.
After creating this account, write down the value, which you will need later.
Note
Step 2
Determine and create a shared storage location.
