IMPORTANT:The following are important pre-installation steps.
For multi-machine installations, we strongly recommend that you configure ssh() public/private key authentication between the system administrator on the staging host and the root user on the Conferencing hosts. Otherwise, you need to enter the root password for the Conferencing hosts numerous times during the installation. See Section A.0, Configuring ssh() Key Authentication.
You should have the Conferencing distribution file in a compressed .tar archive named sitescape-conferencing-version.tar.gz (where version is the version of the system you received). Extract the contents of the tar file on an installation-staging host (you can use one of the Conferencing hosts) by using the following command:
tar -zxvf sitescape-conferencing-version.tar.gz
Unpack the distribution compressed tar archive (sitescape-conferencing-version.tar.gz) on a Linux staging machine (you can use one of the cluster nodes). After unpacking, you should see the following files and directories in the sitescape-conferencing directory:
sitescape-conferencing/uninstall.sh sitescape-conferencing/check-config.sh sitescape-conferencing/install.sh sitescape-conferencing/control-cluster.sh sitescape-conferencing/conferencing-svr-release_number.tar.gz sitescape-conferencing/cluster-prototype/ sitescape-conferencing/install-cluster.sh sitescape-conferencing/ldaputils.sh sitescape-conferencing/config-cluster.sh sitescape-conferencing/langs.sh sitescape-conferencing/nmsconfig sitescape-conferencing/utils.sh
After configuring the system, back up the sitescape-conferencing directory, because it is the location where future upgrades and reconfigurations are performed.
If you are deploying voice, perform one of the following procedures after installing the NMS boards into full-length PCI slots. For more information on installing the physical NMS boards, see Installing the NMS Board.
To install and configure the NMS boards on the Conferencing server:
Change directories to the sitescape-conferencing directory:
Download the NMS software to the sitescape-conferencing directory from Novell Downloads or get it from your support representative.
Run the following commands to install the NMS software:
mkdir nms tar -zxf <NMSTAR> -C nms cd nms ./install
Make sure NMS ctdaemon is set to start up on boot and is running:
chkconfig --set nmsctdaemon 345 /etc/init.d/nmsctdaemon start
Change directories back to the sitescape-conferencing directory:
cd ..
Run nmsconfig and enter information for detected boards (refer to the nmsconfig section for more information on nmsconfig):
./nmsconfig
NOTE:The nmsconfig utility requests the Bridge IP address. This address is not the NMS CG board IP address, it is the Bridge IP address.
To install and configure the NMS boards on a remote server:
Download the NMS software from Novell Downloads or get it from your support representative.
Run the following commands, to install the NMS software:
mkdir nms tar -zxf <NMSTAR> -C nms cd nms ./install
Make sure NMS ctdaemon is set to start up on boot and is running:
chkconfig --set nmsctdaemon 345 /etc/init.d/nmsctdaemon start
Untar the Conferencing software:
tar -zxf sitescape-conferencing-Version.tar.gz
Change directories to the sitescape-conferencing directory:
cd sitescape-conferencing
Run nmsconfig and enter information for detected boards (refer to the nmsconfig section for more information on nmsconfig):
# ./nmsconfig
Copy the voiceinfo.sh file to the sitescape-conferencing directory on the Conferencing server.
NOTE:The nmsconfig utility requests the Bridge IP address. This address is not the NMS CG board IP address, it is the Bridge IP address.
