How to Install Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager
Installing Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop
During the installation you perform a basic Desktop configuration by defining servers which Desktop
uses. Follow recommendations in this section to configure Desktop correctly:
•In a single Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, use the same gatekeeper as
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU is configured to use. If you install Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as a part of your deployment, specify the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager internal gatekeeper.
•In a multiple Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, you must use Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as your meeting control server. In a single Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment, you can use either Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing 3545 MCU or Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.
•The default Desktop web server port is 80, but if it is used by another application, the installer
detects it and prompts you to specify a different port.
If you wish to use HTTPs protocol for security, you must configure the Desktop web server port to
443 after the installation is complete.
The Desktop serial key is required for the installation and operation of the Desktop and is not included
in this package. For more information about obtaining the serial key, refer to the License Fulfillment
Instructions for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.
Procedure
Step 1 Insert the product CD-ROM.
Step 2 In the CD menu, choose Install Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Server
-or-
In the Windows folder on the product CD-ROM, double-click setup.exe file to launch the installer.
Step 3 In the Choose Setup Language window, choose the installation language and click OK.
Step 4 In the Welcome window, click Next.
Step 5 In the License Agreement window, read the agreement, choose I accept the terms in the license
agreement, and then click Next.
Step 6 In the Customer Information window, enter information for software registration, choose the user access
option for Desktop, and then click Next.
Step 7 In the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Desktop Serial Key window, enter the Desktop key
number, and click Next.
Step 8 In the Custom Setup window, define which Desktop components to install on this server, specify the
installation location, and then click Next.
Note
The default directory for Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Streaming Server installation in
version 5.5. is C:\Program Files\Darwin Streaming Server.
For a single server installation, install both components.
Step 9 In the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Network Configuration window, configure the Desktop
Network Interface and Desktop web server port, and click Next.

Chapter 1 Installing Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager
How to Install Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager
Step 10 In the Configure Servers window, configure server settings:
a. Enter the IP address of your gatekeeper in the Gatekeeper IP address field.
b. Enter the server’s NIC IP address in the IP address field under Use Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager for moderation.
Alternatively, choose Do not enable moderation to work without a meeting control server in a
multiple Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU deployment. If you use Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager as your meeting control server, enter the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager IP address in the IP address of Cisco IOS H.323 Gatekeeper field
so that Desktop uses the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager internal gatekeeper.
Note You must use the specific IP addresses, not loopback addresses.
Step 11 In the Configure Streaming window, choose a server to manage streaming:
a. When your deployment includes multiple Desktop servers, you must define which one of your
Desktop servers is enabled for streaming.
Choose This Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop will be used to manage streaming
services to define the Desktop server that you are currently configuring as the Desktop server
that is enabled for streaming.
Note We recommend that you choose only one Desktop server to be a streaming server.
If you install the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Streaming Server on a separate server, type
the IP address of that server in the Darwin Streaming Server IP address field.
b. When your deployment includes multiple Desktop servers, and you do not want to define the
Desktop server that you are currently configuring as the Desktop server that is enabled for
streaming, choose Use an alternative Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop to manage
streaming services.
Type the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the Desktop server that is enabled for
streaming in the Server URL field.
c. Choose Disable streaming for this Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop to disable
streaming for the Desktop server that you are currently configuring.
Step 12 In the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Desktop Hostname Configuration window, specify the
hostname of the server that clients should use to connect to the Desktop.
Note Make sure that you specify the hostname that clients can resolve.
Step 13 In the Ready to Install the Program window, click Install.
Step 14 Click Finish.
Step 15 After installation is completed, verify that the Desktop server is operational:
a. Access the Desktop Server Administration interface by connecting to the following URL:
http://<SERVERFQDN:PORT>/cuvm/admin
b. Log in using the default user name (admin) and password (admin).
c. Open the Status tab of the Desktop Server Administration interface, and verify that all four
types of servers are connected.

Backup and Restore Procedures
This section is intended to assist system administrators to back up and restore the Cisco Unified
Videoconferencing Manager database and configuration files.
•Overview, page 2-1
•How to Perform Backup Procedure, page 2-2
•How to Perform Restore Procedure, page 2-4
Overview
There are many reasons for performing system backups on a regular basis. While it is usually assumed
that backups are necessary only in cases of disk crashes or other physical disasters, most such cases are
application-related. For example:
•User mistakes
•Application bugs
•Power failure
•Disk corruption
•Any other kind of physical disaster
To restore Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager data, stop the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing
Manager service before restoring the database, configuration files, branding and sound files. Restart the
Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager service after restoration is complete.

Backing Up the Database
The database backup procedure supports MySQL database version 4.0.21. This section describes how to
back up MySQL database version 4.0.21.
Procedure
Step 1 Open a DOS window and modify the current directory so that the default path points to the MySQL bin
directory.
The default MySQL installation path is:
C:\Program Files\MySQl\mysql-4.0.21-win\bin
Step 2 Run the following DOS command to dump the contents of the MySQL database to a file called mydump:
mysqldump -u root --all-databases --add-drop-table --single-transaction > mydump
where
•-u root indicates that the user account “root” is used to run this command. “Root” is the default
administrator created during MySQL installation.
•--all-databases means that all databases are to be backed up.
•--add-drop-table ensures that drop table SQL statements are generated for every dumped table.
•--single-transaction ensures that you do not need to stop the MySQL service when you back up the
database.
•By default, you do not need to provide a password for local “root” login. However, if you change
the root user password, you should add the text “-p password” to the command line. For example:
mysqldump -u root -p rootpassword --all- databases --add-drop-table --single-transaction >mydump
Step 3 Save the mydump file to a safe location.
Backing Up Configuration Files
This section describes how to back up the following files by copying them to a different physical
