How to Upgrade Your PCI Server to a Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 Series Server

Note Do not perform this upgrade procedure when the system is busy.

To upgrade your PCI server to a Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 series server, perform the following tasks in this order:

•(Optional) Calculating the Time Required for the Upgrade

• Initializing the Database

• Completing Preupgrade Tasks for the PCI Server

• Completing Preupgrade Tasks for the Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 Series Server

• Upgrading the PCI Server to a Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 Series Server

• Verifying Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 Series Server System Parameters

• Performing Postupgrade Procedures

• Verifying Cisco MeetingPlace System Functionality

Calculating the Time Required for the Upgrade

To calculate the amount of time required to complete the PCI server to Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 series server upgrade, perform the following steps:

Step 1 From MeetingTime, run the View Disk Usage Statistics by performing the following steps:

a. Open the MeetingPlace Register Book and select the System tab.

b. Select View Disk Usage Statistics and click Execute.

Step 2 Obtain the number of minutes of voice and attachment data for all Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server systems.

Step 3 On the PCI server, enter dbsize and obtain the following information:

•Size of the database

•Total number of user profiles, conferences, and conference participants

Step 4 To determine the approximate time that is required for the upgrade, perform the calculations in Table 1.

Table 1 Data Transfer Rate Calculations

Database Element

Result

a.

Minutes of voice and attachment data/4000

b.

Number of user profiles/9600

c.

Number of conferences/7200

d.

Number of conference participants/7200

e.

Sum of a through d = approximate upgrade time in hours

Step 5 If the database has not been initialized, add two hours to the upgrade time that you calculated in Step 4.

Note The following data transfer rates were used in Table 1.

Data Type

Transfer Rate

Voice data¹

4000 minutes of data per hour

User profile data

9600 minutes of data per hour

Conference data

7200 minutes of data per hour

Conference participant data

7200 minutes of data per hour

¹Voice data transfers in a healthy switched 100 Mb/second network at approximately 300 KB per second, resulting in a voice data transfer rate of approximately 1 GB per hour. Therefore, the transfer rate calculates to 17 KB = 4 seconds of voice data = 4000 minutes of voice per hour. This equation is also used to calculate the user profile, conference, and conference participant data transfer rates.

Initializing the Database

Before upgrading, make sure that the Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 series server has either a new or initialized database. If the database is new and does not have any data except the default user profiles, go to the "Completing Preupgrade Tasks for the PCI Server" section.

Caution Initializing the database will delete all Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server user profiles, meetings, and voice recordings. Do not use ^C or end this process until the initialization process is complete. Also, ensure that the save command has been active for at least a day and that the database is backed up.

To initialize the database, perform the following steps.

Step 1 Log in as a technician to the Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 series server.

The tech$ prompt appears.

Step 2 Enter mpconvert init.

•Database initialization takes approximately two hours to finish.

•All configurations are saved and restored when the initialization process is complete.

•The server restarts automatically after the database initialization is complete.

If the backup is active message appears, follow the prompts to allow the server to restart.

After the server restarts, return to Step 2.

Step 3 When the server is back up, set the MeetingTime MaxRecordingSpace to a value that is sufficient for database conversion on your Cisco MeetingPlace Audio Server system.

Completing Preupgrade Tasks for the PCI Server

Before beginning the upgrade, complete the following tasks for the PCI server:

Task

Obtain the IP address of the PCI server.

Obtain the user ID and password for the PCI server.

Note You can use any existing user ID; however, the user ID must be one word without spaces.

Set up the following test meetings:

•Normal meeting

•Normal meeting with recording

•Future meeting with attachment

•Recurring meeting

•Multiserver meeting

•Continuous meeting

Run a Raw Meeting Detail report and save the output.

Enter the dbsize command and save the output.

Make sure that you copy the following system parameters:

•User groups

•Telephony access

•System parameters

•Network management information if you are using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Upgrading the PCI Server to a Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 Series Server

Note You must apply any change to the scheduling and usage parameters after the upgrade is completed.

We recommended that you use the -usp option, which imports all Scheduling and Usage Parameters from the PCI server to the Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 series server.

If you are upgrading from a Release 4.2 PCI system, extra fields that exist in Release 4.3 and Release 5.0 or a later release take the default values from the Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 series server.

To upgrade the PCI to Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 series, perform the following steps:

Step 1 Log in as a technician to the Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 series server.

Note If the database is not initialized before you enter the mpconvert start command, you are prompted to enter mpconvert init. Complete the tasks in "Initializing the Database" section before you upgrade.

Step 2 Enter mpconvert start -c option where option is one of the following selections:

•-usp—Uses PCI system scheduling and usage parameters

•-ip—Ignores past meetings

•-iv—Ignores voice data

•-q—Uses quiet mode

Note If you choose the -ds option, the PCI server will not be able to schedule any meetings during the upgrade.

•-ds—Disables scheduling on the PCI server

Step 3 Enter y at the WARNING: all data in this directory will be deleted. Continue? (y/n) message.

Step 4 Enter your user ID and password.

Step 5 Enter the IP address of the PCI server.

The upgrade begins and runs in the background.

Tip During the upgrade, you are in trace mode and can exit by pressing ^C at any time. You can rejoin the trace session by entering the mpconvert trace command at the command line.

Step 6 If the upgrade fails, review the log and look for the following error:

Warning: failed to get remote checksum (0)

This error indicates that an interruption in network connectivity occurred.

Note You must stabilize the network and begin the upgrade procedure again.

Step 7 When the upgrade finishes, restart the server.

Step 8 Complete the "Verifying Cisco MeetingPlace 8100 Series Server System Parameters" section.

Step 9 Complete the "Performing Postupgrade Procedures" section.

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
