Overview

This chapter explains how to install Cisco TelePresence Recording Server (CTRS) release 1.8 software on the following servers:

UCS C-210 M2 server

Cisco MCS-7845-XX-CTRS server, where XX can be I2 or I3

Before installing CTRS software on a UCS C-210 M2 server, you must configure the server and install VMWare. For an MCS-7845-XX-CTRS server, no server preparation is required. You simply install the software on the server.

Prerequisites

Before you install the CTRS administration software system files, you need the following equipment and information:

Cisco TelePresence System assembled and configured to support TelePresence conferencing. For more information, refer to the appropriate Cisco TelePresence System Administrator's Guide and the appropriate Cisco TelePresence Assembly Guide.

Cisco MCS-7845-XX-CTRS server, where XX can be I2 or I3, with eight 146 gigabytes drives, installed and connected to a Domain Name System (DNS) server and your network.

Console able to access the Cisco MCS-7845-XX-CTRS server, where XX can be I2 or I3.

DVD that contains the CTRS Administration software application.

Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Cisco Unified CM) Release 7.0.2, Release 7.1.5, Release 8.5.1, or Release 8.6.1, configured to support CTS Release 1.6 and integrated to work with CTRS, meaning that a SIP security profile, SIP trunk, and route pattern specific to CTRS have been created. For more information about Cisco Unified CM for CTS configuration, refer to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Configuration Guide for the Cisco TelePresence System.


Note If recording meetings that will include Cisco TelePresence TC version 5.0 endpoints, Cisco Unified CM Release 8.6.1 is required

Step 28 Press Enter.

The VMware software will attempt to ping your default gateway, DNS server and hostname. The test should display "OK" for each ping attempt.

Step 29 Press Enter.

The System Customization window appears.

Step 30 Log out of the VMware ESXi Installer by pressing Esc.

The VMware ESXi screen appears.

Step 31 Note the IP address displayed on this screen. You will use this IP address to download the VMware vSphere client to your PC to create your virtual machine in the next section.


Installing the VMware Client and Creating the Virtual Machine

This section describes how to install the VMware vSphere Client and create the virtual machine. To complete this procedure, you must use a PC that is connected to the same network as your UCS server.

To set up the virtual machine:


Step 1 From your PC, open a web browser and go to the IP address displayed on the VMware ESXi screen at the end of the previous section.

The VMware ESXi Welcome page appears.

Step 2 Click Download vSphere Client and follow the on-screen instructions to install the vSphere Client on your PC.

Step 3 Open the VMware vSphere Client.

Step 4 Log in to the ESXi host on the UCS server using the following information:

IP address / name: IP address of UCS server (used in step 1)

User name: root

Password: VMware password created during installation on the UCS server

A Security Warning window appears, indicating that an untrusted SSL certificate is installed.

Step 5 Click the checkbox for "Install this certificate and do not display any security warnings" and click Ignore.

A VMware Evaluation Notice window appears, indicating that you must upgrade your ESX Host license. The initial evaluation license expires 60 after installation.

Step 6 You can upgrade it now, by following the instructions starting in step 2 of Installing the VMware License or click OK if you want to upgrade later.

The vSphere Client window opens with the UCS server (identified by IP address) displayed in the left-hand side of the window.

The next step is to align the datastore on which you will set up your virtual machine (the largest volume). This improves disk performance and prevents disk blocks from being fragmented.

Step 7 Click the Summary tab.

Step 8 In the Datastore area, right-click the datastore with the largest capacity and select Delete.

A confirmation window appears.

Step 9 Click Yes to confirm you want to delete the datastore.

In the Recent Tasks area at the bottom of the window, the Remove Datastore task appears.

Step 10 Wait for the task to display a status of "Completed."

Step 11 Click the Configuration tab.

Step 12 In the Hardware area on the left, click Storage.

In the Datastores area, the remaining datastore is displayed.

Step 13 In the upper right above the Datastores area, click Add Storage....

The Add Storage window opens and the Select Storage Type screen is displayed.

Step 14 Select Disk/LUN (selected by default) and click Next.

The Select Disk/LUN screen appears.

Step 15 Click the Local LSI Disk and click Next.

The Current Disk Layout screen appears confirming the disk partition you will create.

Step 16 Click Next.

The Properties screen appears.

Step 17 Enter a name for your datastore and click Next.

The Disk/LUN Formatting screen appears.

Step 18 From the Maximum file size drop-down list, choose 256 GB, Block size: 1 MB and make sure Maximize Capacity is checked.

Step 19 Click Next.

The Ready to Complete screen appears.

Step 20 Click Finish.

In the Recent Tasks area at the bottom of the window, the Create VMFS Datastore task appears.

Step 21 Wait for the task to display a status of "Completed."

After completion, you have two datastores. The datastore with the smaller capacity is the RAID 1 configuration, where the VMware software is installed, and the datastore with the larger capacity is the RAID 5 configuration, where you will deploy the virtual machine and install the CTRS software.


Disabling LRO (ESXi 4.1 only)

If you are running VMware ESXi 4.1 on the UCS server, you may experience slow TCP performance of the virtual machine. You can resolve this by disabling Large Receive Offload (LRO) on the ESXi host.

To disable LRO:


Step 1 Log into the ESXi host on the UCS server with the VMware vSphere Client (if not already logged in).

Step 2 Click the UCS server icon in the left-hand side of the window.

Step 3 Click the Configuration tab.

Step 4 In the Software section, click Advanced Settings.

Step 5 Select Net and scroll down slightly more than half way.

Step 6 Set the following parameters from 1 to 0:

Net.VmxnetSwLROSL

Net.Vmxnet3SwLRO

Net.Vmxnet3HwLRO

Net.Vmxnet2SwLRO

Net.Vmxnet2HwLRO

Step 7 Right-click the UCS server and select Reboot.

Your virtual machine should now have normal TCP networking performance.

Step 14 After the network connectivity and setup check, the system reboots again. Following this reboot, the CTRS Administration software log-on page is displayed. Enter your username and password to continue with CTRS Administration software configuration.


Replacing a Hard Disk Drive

This section describes how to replace a hard disk drive in a Cisco MCS-7845-Ix server on which CTRS software is running.


Caution We do not recommend replacing a hard disk drive while the CTRS is powered on, a process known as hot swapping. Hot swapping a hard disk drive can result in configuration data loss as well as loss of stored videos.


Step 1 Perform a backup of the CTRS configuration data only.

A backup of the CTRS configuration data may be needed if the scenario described in step 6 occurs. If this scenario occurs, the CTRS configuration data cannot be restored from a backup of the full system data, so make sure to perform a backup of the CTRS configuration data only.

Step 2 Export the media files (videos) to an archive server.

Step 3 Power down the CTRS.

Step 4 Replace the hard disk drive.

Step 5 Power on the CTRS.

Step 6 If the CTRS is unresponsive, you must re-install the CTRS software.

For complete information on how to install the software, see the Cisco TelePresence Recording Server Administration Guide at this location:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10341/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html

Step 7 Restore the configuration data.

Step 8 Import the archived media files to the CTRS.
