Chapter 4 Installing Web Conferencing in a Load Balancing Configuration
About Installing Web Conferencing in a Load Balancing Configuration for Video-Enabled Systems
3. Each meeting console client automatically tries to reconnect the user to the edge server. If this
attempt fails, the meeting console attempts to connect to the edge server designated as the backup
for that meeting. (The Web Conferencing server sends the assigned primary and backup edge server
information to each client when the client first connects to a meeting.)
About Installing Web Conferencing in a Load Balancing
Configuration for Video-Enabled Systems
If your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server system is licensed for video, all of the web servers
connected to it will display video-related fields. These fields appear on the following pages for those
users who have video scheduling privileges:
• New Meeting scheduling page
• Meeting Details pages
• Account Basics page
In order for users to schedule their video meetings on a web server in a load balancing configuration,
you must install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Video Integration on the server. Users receive an error
if they attempt to reserve video ports while scheduling a meeting on a server which does not have the
Video Integration installed.
Although in a load balancing configuration you install the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Video Integration
on each web server that users will use to schedule video meetings, you activate the Video Integration on
only one web server in the cluster. We recommend that you activate the Video Integration on a server
that is not used for scheduling, in order to minimize the load on the server.
If a meeting is scheduled with video ports reserved, video features will be available for end-users who
use their video endpoints to dial in to the meeting regardless of which server hosts the meeting. If a
meeting is scheduled without video ports reserved, ad hoc video may be available for end-users who dial
in with a video endpoint if video ports are available at the time of the meeting.
