Unified CCE Engineering Special Installation Planning


Installing Unified CCE 11.6(1) ES27


Installation of this patch requires that all ICM services are shut down during the entire installation process. It is always recommended to install this ES during a scheduled downtime.

·       Using the ICM Service Control, stop all the ICM services running on the system

·       Launch the Installer provided for ES9 and following the instructions on the screen

·       Using the ICM Service Control, start all ICM services again.

Uninstall Directions for Unified CCE 11.6(1) ES27


  1. To uninstall this patch, go to Control Panel.
  2. Select "Add or Remove Programs".
  3. Find the installed patch in the list and select "Remove".

Note: Remove patches in the reverse order of their installation. For example, if you installed patches 3, then 5, then 10 for a product, you must uninstall patches 10, 5, and 3, in that order, to remove the patches from that product.

Specification Based Hardware Support Instruction in this Engineering Special


Select and Initialize the Packaged CCE Deployment

The steps for selecting and initializing your deployment type depend on which deployment type you are using.

Initialize the Packaged CCE Deployment Type

When you sign into Unified CCE Administration for the first time, you are prompted to enter information and credentials for the components in your deployment. Packaged CCE uses this information to configure the components and build the System Inventory.

Procedure

Step 1:

On the Deployment page, select the instance from the Instance drop-down list. You must be a member of the Setup security group for the instance you select. Click Next.Note The system does not support IP address change. Use the hostname if you foresee a change in IP address. This is applicable for all the Hostname/ IP Address fields.

Step 2:

On the VM Host page, enter the IP address, Username, and Password for the VMware hosts for Side A and Side B. Select the hardware layout type as M3/M4 Tested Reference Configuration or M5 Tested Reference Configuration / Specification Based Configuration. Click Next.The VMware hosts are the two servers on which ESXi is installed. The username and password fields are the host login names and passwords configured in ESXi.

Packaged CCE validates the hosts in your deployment.

                If you select M3/M4 Tested Reference Configuration and click Next, the system checks if the hardware is supported UCS hardware and verifies if the VMs are configured as per the reference design. If the validation is successful, the Credentials page opens.

                If you select M5 Tested Reference Configuration / Specification Based Configuration and click Next, the system validates the hardware specifications of the VMware host and verifies if the VMs are configured as per the reference design. If the validation is successful, click Next to open the Credentials page. See the Virtualization for Cisco Packaged CCE at http:/​/​www.cisco.com/​c/​en/​us/​td/​docs/​voice_ip_comm/​uc_system/​virtualization/​pcce_​virt_​index.html for hardware specifications.

                If the validation fails, click Update Hosts to go back to the VM Hosts page and edit the values. Click Retry to run the validation with existing values.

Note

                           Datastores used by Cisco VMs should not be shared or used by other third-party VMs.

Packaged CCE core components include:

                                       Unified CCE Rogger

Unified CCE AW/HDS/DDS

Unified CCE PG

Unified CVP Server

Unified CVP OAMP Server

UnifiedIntelligence Center Publisher

Finesse

                                    VM annotations are used to identify Packaged CCE core component VMs. Do not change the default annotations of any of the core component VMs. The following terms are reserved for core component annotations: Cisco, Finesse, CUIC, and CVP. Do not use these reserved terms in the annotations of any of the non-core component VMs.

Step 3

On the Credentials page, enter the specified information for each component in your deployment. After entering information for a component, click Next.The system validates the credentials you entered before prompting you for the next component's information.

Component

Information Required

Unified CM

Either:

   The Unified CM Publisher for an on-box Unified Communications Manager deployment.

   The Unified CM Publisher Name and IP address for an external Unified Communications Manager deployment.

Note Only a single Unified CM cluster can be integrated to a single

Packaged CCE deployment. AXL username and password.

Unified CVP

Unified CVP Server (Side A) username and password. Unified CVP Server (Side B) username and password.

Unified CCE AW-HDS-DDS

Unified CCE Diagnostic Framework Service domain, username, and password.

These credentials must be for a domain user who is a member of the Config security group for the instance, and valid on all Unified CCE components in your deployment (the Side A and Side B Unified CCE Roggers, PGs, and AW-HDS-DDSs).

Unified Intelligence Center

Unified Intelligence Center Administration application username and password. Identity Service Administration username and password.

Finesse

Finesse Administration username and password.

 

Step 4

On the Settings page, select the following:

   Select the codec used for Mobile Agent calls from the Mobile Agent Codec drop-down menu. The codec you select must match the codec specified on the voice gateways.

   If you have an external Unified Communications Manager, select the Unified CM Subscribers to which the Side A and Side B Unified CCE PGs connect from the Side A Connection and Side B Connection drop-down menus.

   For the Automatically create service accounts check box, either:

Leave the check box checked if you want automated initialization to create the service accounts in Active Directory. These accounts will be created and added to the Service group.

Uncheck the check box if you want to use an existing Active Directory account. Enter the username and password for an existing Active Directory user in the same domain as the Packaged CCE servers. This account will be added to the Service       group. Click Next.

The deployment is initialized. The Details dialog box displays the status of the automated initialization tasks.

Step 5

After the automated initialization tasks complete, click Done. The System Inventory opens. If one of the automated initialization tasks fails, correct the errors and then click Retry.

If the retry is successful, the automated initialization continues.

For some task failures, all completed tasks must be reverted before the task can be retried. You see a message informing you that the system needs to be reverted to a clean state.

Click OK, and then after the system is in a clean state, click Start Over.
