Chapter 2 Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3

How to Test the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing Release 5.3 Installation

If you chose Local Server as your SQL Server location, after the first reboot, the installer begins
installing SQL Server. Status updates appear from the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace icon in your
system tray, and when SQL Server installation completes, the server reboots automatically.

If the installer detects a local SQL Server installation, after the second reboot, the installer begins
installing the SQL Server Service Pack. Status updates appear from the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
icon in your system tray. When the Service Pack installation completes, the server reboots
automatically.

Installations of the SQL Server and the SQL Server Service Pack are slow, and depending on your
server hardware, installations may take as long as 40 minutes or more to complete.

The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace icon appears as an orange door

.

If the SQL Server installation appears to be taking too long (over 35 minutes), check your Task
Manager to confirm that SQLInstall.exe is running.

After the server reboots, the installer invokes SQLInstall.exe to create the MPWEB SQL database.
This process may take 5-to-10 minutes.
