Cisco Cisco TelePresence Management Suite (TMS) Version 15 Installation Guide
The examples assume that you use IPv4. If you also use IPv6, change the IPv6 addresses accordingly.
Setting up the primary Cisco TMS server
Prior to installing Cisco TMS:
1. Set up an SQL server instance on an external server.
2. Set up a DNS record: tms.example.com pointing to the IP address of the primary server tms01
(10.0.0.10).
Installing Cisco TMS:
, pointing Cisco TMS to the external database server you used in Step 1 above.
2. Make a note of the encryption key generated during the installation.
3. When enabling HTTPS during installation, use a certificate issued to tms.example.com.
4. Log in to the Cisco TMS web application to verify that it works correctly.
All users and managed systems must use tms.example.com when connecting to Cisco TMS. The server's
own hostname (tms01.example.com) must not be used.
own hostname (tms01.example.com) must not be used.

Administrative Tools > Configuration > Network Settings
.
2. Enter tms.example.com in the TMS Server Fully Qualified Hostname and TMS Server Address (Fully

Setting up the secondary Cisco TMS server
1. Check that the operating system including service pack level on tms02 is exactly the same as on tms01.
2. Check that the servers are both configured with the same time zone; failure to do this will mean that the
start and end times of scheduled conferences are incorrect in the case of a switchover.
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
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.
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.
6. Open the Services Management Console on tms02:
l
Stop all the Cisco TMS services - they all have names starting with TMS.
l
Stop the Internet Information Services (IIS) service called World Wide Web Publishing Service.
l
Set the Startup Type of the IIS and TMS services to “Manual”.
