Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15 Installation Guide
3.
Run the Cisco TMS installer on tms02:
a.
Enter the IP address of the external SQL server when prompted.
b.
Install to the same directory as on tms01 and use the same log directory as on tms01. This is important
because the log directory path is stored as an Environment Variable in Windows and not in the SQL
database.

database.
c.
Enter the encryption key generated during the installation on tms01.
d.
Use the same certificate used on tms01 when enabling HTTPS.
4.
Log in to the Cisco TMS web application to verify that it works correctly.
5.
On tms02 go to Administrative Tools > Configuration > Network Settings > Advanced Network Settings for
Systems on Internal LAN. Make sure the IP address is tms01 (10.0.0.10) and the hostname is tms.example.com
as the installer could have changed these values.

Open the Services Management Console on tms02:
—
Stop all the Cisco TMS services - they all have names starting with TMS.
—
Stop the Internet Information Services (IIS) service called World Wide Web Publishing Service.
—
Set the Startup Type of the IIS and TMS services to “Manual”.
Tms02 is now ready to act as a warm spare in the case of a failure on tms01.
Note that in Administrative Tools > Server Maintenance > TMS Service Status you will see the services for both servers.

Synchronizing Local Files
Some customizable files used by Cisco TMS are stored in the Windows server's local file system rather than in the tmsng
database. The folders these files are stored in must be kept synchronized between the two servers. See
database. The folders these files are stored in must be kept synchronized between the two servers. See
Use DFS replication to synchronize the folders between the two nodes.
If you swap the two servers in the event of a failure on the primary server, change the synchronization mechanism you
set up for keeping the folders on tms01 and tms02 in synch so that it now synchronizes from tms02 to tms01.

Optional: Enable TLS Client Certificates
If you choose to use TLS client certificates in your deployment you must ensure that:
■
The same options are selected in Cisco TMS Tools on both servers.
■
The TLS certificates imported to both servers are identical.
■
Both servers use the same mechanism for certificate revokation.

Upgrading Cisco TMS
You must keep the Cisco TMS software versions on the primary and secondary servers consistent. After upgrading the
primary server, you must upgrade the secondary server as soon as possible. If the primary server fails while the
secondary server is on an older software version, you will not be able to swap the servers until you have upgraded the
secondary server to the newer Cisco TMS software version.
