Installation and upgrade guidelines

Cisco TelePresence recommend reviewing these guidelines before installation or upgrading, and
cover a number of issues that may relate to your Cisco TMS application.

Moving the Cisco TMS database

To move the Cisco TMS database to a new server, it is recommended the database and/or database
server be moved prior to running the Cisco TMS v12 installer. Use the standard Microsoft SQL tools
(the Cisco TMS database is named 'TMSng'), and then select 'Custom' during the Cisco TMS v12
installation. You can then specify the database location.

Dedicated vs. shared server

Cisco TMS is resource intensive with specific server requirements and installation is not
recommended on a server hosting other applications or web sites. CPU time and memory usage will
vary between installations depending on the activity level and size of the video network being
managed.
Note: Cisco TelePresence will not support installations on shared servers. Cisco TelePresence
strongly recommends installing Cisco TMS on a dedicated server.
Cisco TMS can be installed on a Virtual Server, but the Cisco TMS virtual machine (child partition)
must be provided with sufficient processor resources, memory, and disk resources. The minimum
requirements assume Cisco TMS has full access to resources. Cisco TMS runs on VMWare ESX and
Virtual Server products and on Microsoft Virtual Server 2007.

Device support

Cisco TMS supports video conferencing systems from both Cisco TelePresence and other major
vendors, and Cisco TelePresence constantly strives for the best possible feature parity. However, due
to differences in capabilities and APIs, some features of Cisco TMS and device support are dependent
on the individual products and their software versions. Some system types require additional
configuration.
