[cisco-voip] WebEx Meetings Server 2.0 OVA

[Matthew Collins]

Hi all,

Just a pointer after deploying a fresh install. Even though its not documented you have to make sure ICMP in enabled between the reverse Proxy and the Admin server otherwise the final system check fails.

Regards

Matthew

Thanks John,

It only looks like one bug, which wouldn't affect us.

The upgrade took about six hours start to finish.  Thankfully I had an early start to my maintenance window!  It easily could have been exhausting if I had to start at 11pm.  I had HA set up, six servers total.  If you know or know someone who understands ESX command line, I suggest you involve them.  I was really happy to see the new server spin up as smoothly as it did.

Any idea what MR1 is supposed to address?  We found a defect in Productivity Tools that started in 1.5 that carried over.  If you change your password due to domain security policies, the client sends too many authentication requests resulting in account lockouts.

Hi John,

Thanks for the update.
I put this one on hold after the issues with the media, and the bug with the auto upgrade.
There is also an MR1 due shortly, that I probably want to get put on at the same time.

How many machines, how long did the bulk of the process take you?

Cheers,

Tim.

Following up with this thread, our upgrade from 1.5 to 2.0 went well.  We went with the manual deployment, but copied the disk4 VMDK files from the old to upgraded systems using the CLI in ESXi instead of through vCenter.  Overall, the documentation is accurate.  We had an issue with the license file migration, but a call into TAC remedied it.  Good luck to anyone else out there performing the update in the near future.

Think I can see where things have gone wrong with OVA vs USB img.

I ordered both e-delivery and physical media just to be safe, and to give the guys on site a physical copy of media for DR purposes.



E-delivery order gave me the USB IMG file (it should have been the OVA)

Physical order came via E-delivery as well - it gives me opportunity to download USB IMG file.



Need to see if they have also shipped the physical USB key for me!



Either way as previously noted, it looks like these first versions of OVA have problems with Automatic installs. Makes me want to wait for fixed version.



Cheers,



Tim
