Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server Maintenance Manual

Before you shut down the system, let your users know the system will be 
unavailable. To tell users in advance about the system shutdown, you can do 
any of the following:

•

Join a conference in progress

•

Send a voice message in advance

•

Send an e-mail message in advance

Tell users when the shutdown will occur, how long it will last, and when the 
system will be restarted.

Schedule all ports in advance so that they are all busy for the length of 

time you expect the system to be unavailable. That way, no one can schedule a 
meeting during the shutdown. For more information, see 

The system allows for multiple levels of shutdown, depending on the status of 
your system and the nature of your requirements.

•

When the system is fully operational, users can access MeetingPlace from 
a workstation or telephone to schedule and attend meetings or to change 
user profiles.

•

When you perform a telephony shutdown in the System Shutdown 
window, the system is still running, but other users cannot access 
MeetingPlace from a telephone. This allows the system manager to make 
system-level changes to the database without interference.

•

When you perform a full shutdown, the system conducts an orderly 
shutdown before power is turned off. During a full shutdown, users cannot 
access MeetingPlace.

•

When you perform a system restart, the system begins a full shutdown and 
restart of the operating system. During a system restart, users cannot 
access MeetingPlace.
