How to Install Cisco Unified Presence on a VMware Server
Exceptions for VMware Installations

When you install Cisco Unified Presence on a VMware server, follow the same installation procedure
for installing Cisco Unified Presence on a physical server, but note the following exceptions:
If the installation fails, Cisco Unified Presence dumps the install logs to a file through the serial port
of the VMware server; Cisco Unified Presence cannot dump the install logs to a USB key. You must
configure the serial port on the VMware server, or more specifically, link the serial port to a file
where Cisco Unified Presence can dump the ASCII text. You must configure the serial port when
the VMware server is powered off. Therefore, perform this configuration on the VMware server
before you start the installation.
To view the installation logs after they are published to a serial port on the virtual machine, see
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/How_to_Dump_Install_Logs_to_the_Serial_Port_of_the_Virtual_
Machine.
Cisco Unified Presence does not support USB tape drive backup on a VMware server.

How to Configure the VMware Identity Feature

The VMware identity feature allows you to copy an existing instance of a virtual
Cisco Unified Presence, and change its identity. The identity of a system is made up of every setting that
you usually configure during a fresh install (such as IP address, hostname, passwords).
You can then use this new identity for another instance of a Cisco Unified Presence on a virtual machine.
This avoids you having to perform a complete installation each time you deploy a new virtual

Configuring System Time on the Cisco Unified Presence Publisher Server

Before You Begin
Start and configure the basic installation, as described in the previous topic. As you install the
Cisco Unified Presence Publisher server, you have the option to set the system time manually using
the hardware clock or assign up to five external NTP addresses.
To ensure that accurate system time is set on the publisher server, we recommend that you configure
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager publisher as the only NTP server. The Cisco Unified
Communications Manager publisher is set as the sole NTP server for the cluster, then the subsequent
servers in the cluster will set the time from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager publisher
server.
We strongly recommend you to leave the Cisco Unified Communications Manager publisher as the
NTP server. However, if you require another NTP server, ensure that the server is stratum 9 or
higher Stratums range from 9 (lowest) to 1 (highest).
Regardless of any change you make to the NTP server during installation, it changes to
Cisco Unified Communications Manager publisher after installation.
Procedure
Step 1 Set correct system time in the Network Time Protocol Client Configuration window, as follows:
If you want to configure: Action

An external NTP server a. Select Yes.
b. Enter the IP address, NTP server name, or
NTP server pool name for at least one NTP
server.
Note If the network does not have DNS, you
must enter an IP address because the
hostname will not automatically resolve
to an IP address.
c. Select Proceed to continue with the

installation.
Note You can configure up to five NTP servers,
and we recommend that you use at least
three. The system contacts an NTP server
and automatically sets the time on the
hardware clock. If the Test button
displays, you can select Test to check
whether the NTP servers are accessible.
System time manually a. Select No.
b. Enter the appropriate date and time to set the
hardware clock.
c. Select OK to continue with the installation.

What To Do Next
Completing the Installation of Subsequent Cisco Unified

Presence Servers
This procedure is only applicable if you specified (see Step 9) that you are installing a subsequent
(subscriber) server and not the first server (publisher) in the Cisco Unified Presence cluster.
When you install a subsequent Cisco Unified Presence server, you must associate the subsequent server
with the Cisco Unified Presence publisher server and configure its hostname and IP address. Each new
server must also have network access to the Cisco Unified Presence publisher server.
You are prompted, before you install any additional Cisco Unified Presence servers, to use the Network
Connectivity Diagnostic tool to probe the network for connectivity issues. Anomalies will be reported
back to you via logs if the system can not verify network access to the publisher server on Cisco Unified
Presence. If you need to investigate a server problem before proceeding further, you are given an
opportunity to pause the process between configuration steps.
Before You Begin

Start and configure the basic Cisco Unified Presence installation and continue here if you are
installing a subsequent server in your cluster.
Ensure that you have configured the publisher server on Cisco Unified Presence and the
post-installation deployment wizard has run successfully. As you install subsequent servers,
consider the original publisher server that you installed as the "First Node".
4-4

Completing the Installation of Subsequent Cisco Unified Presence Servers
If you are using the multi-node feature in Cisco Unified Presence, and plan to add subsequent
Cisco Unified Presence servers, we recommend that you:
Add the subsequent server in the Topology view of the publisher node before you install the
subsequent server.
Do not assign the subsequent server to a subcluster until after you install it.
Note To configure each subsequent server on the Cisco Unified Presence publisher server, select Cluster >
Topology in Cisco Unified Presence Administration. You can add multiple subsequent servers in one
step in the Topology window. For example, if you are installing a multi-node cluster containing six
servers including the publisher server, you can add five subsequent servers to the Cisco Unified Presence
system topology simultaneously.
Procedure
Step 1 Select OK to continue in the First Node Configuration window.

Step 2 Select No, the default option, to confirm that you want the installation to proceed after the Network
Connectivity Test validating is complete.
Step 3 Select Continue when the network connectivity to the publisher server is verified as successful.
Step 4 Enter this information in the First Node Access Configuration window:
Hostname of the Cisco Unified Presence publisher server
IP address of the Cisco Unified Presence publisher server
Security password to access the Cisco Unified Presence publisher server
Step 5 Select OK to continue.
Step 6 If you want to configure an SMTP host, perform the following actions in the SMTP Host Configuration
window:
a. Select Yes.
b. Enter the SMTP location.
Step 7 Complete the following tasks in the Platform Configuration Confirmation window:
a. Select OK to start installing the software.
b. Select Back if you want to change the configuration.
Step 8 When the installation process completes, you are prompted to sign in with the Administrator account
and password.
The security password that you set for Cisco Unified Presence must be identical to the password
used on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Publisher server.
If you assign a subsequent Cisco Unified Presence server to a subcluster prior to installing it, users
in remote clusters will not receive presence information. A presence outage will occur until the
server is installed.
You must configure an SMTP server to use certain operating system features. However, you can also
configure an SMTP server later using either the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System
interface or the CLI.

Upgrading Cisco Unified Presence
January 30, 2012
How to Upgrade to a Later Release of Cisco Unified Presence

Software
Note If your Cisco Unified Presence server is operating in Evaluation or Evaluation-Expire mode following a
fresh installation, you cannot upgrade it. To upgrade a Cisco Unified Presence server that is already in
production, refer to the Cisco Unified Operating System Maintenance Guide for Cisco Unified Presence.
Select Software Upgrades > Install/Upgrade to perform your software upgrade in the Operating
System interface. For specific release information, see the Release Notes for Cisco Unified Presence at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6837/prod_release_notes_list.html
Caution Prior to initiating an upgrade from Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.5(x) and on, you should disable
High-Availability on the Cisco Unified Presence subcluster. If High-Availability is not disabled, the
subclusters will failover and a manual failback is required following the upgrade of both nodes in the
subcluster. After you have completed the upgrade, High-Availability should be re-enabled. For more
information, see the Deployment Guide for Cisco Unified Presence.
Note If you are upgrading from Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.x and if you have federated domains that
are configured using an IP address, you must reconfigure the federated domains to use the domain name
before you begin the upgrade. Alternatively, delete the federated domains before you begin the upgrade.
If you chose Apply Additional Release during a fresh installation of Cisco Unified Presence, the
installation wizard first installs the software version on the DVD and then restarts the system. You are
then prompted to enter certain network configuration parameter values and the location of the upgrade
file. Determine whether you want to upgrade from:
LOCALRetrieves the upgrade file from a local CD or DVD.
SFTPRetrieves the upgrade file from a remote server by using the Secure File Transfer
Protocol (SFTP).
FTPRetrieves the upgrade file from a remote server by using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

This section is applicable to the following Cisco Unified Presence intercluster upgrades:
Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.x to Release 8.0(x)
Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.x to Release 8.5(x)
Prerequisites for an Intercluster Upgrade, page B-4
Roster Migration for Intercluster Upgrade, page B-5
Contact List Size for Intercluster Upgrade, page B-5
SIP Remote Contact Limit, page B-5
Performing an Intercluster Upgrade, page B-6
Prerequisites for an Intercluster Upgrade

Before you perform the software upgrade to Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x, we highly recommend
that you turn off (deactivate) the Cisco UP Presence Engine service in the local Cisco Unified Presence
cluster.
If you intend to upgrade all clusters to Release 8.x, you should turn off (deactivate) the Cisco UP
Presence Engine on all clusters until you complete the intercluster upgrade in your intercluster
deployment. Once you complete the upgrades in your deployment, verify the status of the intercluster
peer connections are ok, and there are no pending system notifications. You can then turn on (activate)
the Cisco UP Presence Engine on all nodes in all clusters. You may experience high CPU (possibly for
several hours) while the Cisco UP Presence Engine attempts to reestablish any presence subscriptions
with remote contacts.
If you intend to leave an intercluster peer on Release 7.0(x), verify the status of the intercluster peer
connections are ok. Enable the Cisco UP XCP SIP Federation Connection Manager service before you
turn on (activate) the Cisco UP Presence Engine service, as described in the intercluster upgrade
procedure Performing an Intercluster Upgrade, page B-6. You may experience high CPU (possibly for
several hours) while the Cisco UP Presence Engine attempts to reestablish any presence subscriptions
with remote contacts.
For intercluster presence to work between a Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.0(x) cluster and a
Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.0(x), the proxy service parameter RecordRoute should be enabled.
B-4

Roster Migration for Intercluster Upgrade

When you turn on the Cisco UP Presence Engine on the local publisher node and the remote publisher
node, Cisco Unified Presence migrates the remote contact information to the local cluster (roster
migration), and reestablishes the presence subscriptions with remote contacts in both the local and
remote cluster.
To allow Cisco Unified Presence to reestablish the presence subscriptions with remote contacts in both
the local and the remote cluster, you must reestablish the intercluster router to router connections (by
restarting the Cisco UP XCP Router) before you turn on the Cisco UP Presence Engine. Until the roster
migration is complete, local users will not see the availability status of remote contacts, and remote
contacts will not see the availability of their contacts belonging to the local cluster.
Note Cisco Unified Presence does not automatically start the roster migration immediately after you
reestablish the intercluster router to router connections. Therefore, if you do not follow the sequence
described here, and manually turn on the Cisco UP Presence Engine after you restart the Cisco UP XCP
Router, it may take up to one day for Cisco Unified Presence to reestablish the presence subscriptions to
remote contacts in both the local and remote clusters. If this presence subscription interval time (one
day) elapses before Cisco Unified Presence has successfully reestablished presence subscriptions, you
can restart the Cisco UP Presence Engine to reset the interval.
Related Topics
Contact List Size for Intercluster Upgrade

If you upgrade from Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.0(x) to Release 8.x, presence subscriptions to
remote contacts will not work for users who have reached their contact list size limit on the local or
remote cluster. The System Troubleshooter in Cisco Unified Presence Administration indicates if there
are users who have reached the contact list limit. To fix this issue, you must increase the maximum
contact list size value.
SIP Remote Contact Limit

Cisco Unified Presence has a maximum limit on the number of SIP remote contacts that can be active at
one time. This maximum value changes based on platform type, see Table B-1.
If you leave an intercluster peer running Release 7.0(x), you may exceed this limit depending on the
number of remote contacts on the 7.0(x) peer clusters. If you exceed the limit, Cisco Unified Presence
will not process the remaining contacts.

B-5

You can configure the pre-allocated SIP stack memory value on Cisco Unified Presence. Select
Cisco Unified Presence Administration > System > Service Parameters > Cisco UP XCP SIP
Federation Connection Manager, and configure the Pre-allocated SIP stack memory (bytes) value
Performing an Intercluster Upgrade

To perform an intercluster upgrade from Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.0(x) to Release 8.0(x), follow
the intercluster upgrade procedure outlined in this topic. To perform an intercluster upgrade from
Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.0(x) to Release 8.5(x) follow the intercluster upgrade procedure
outlined in this topic, however skip steps 4 and 5, as you no longer need to restart the Cisco UP XCP
Router.
Note In your intercluster deployment, if Cisco Unified Presence cluster A is running Release 8.0(x), and
cluster B is running Release 8.5(x), when you upgrade cluster A to Release 8.5(x), you do not need to
restart the Cisco UP XCP Router on cluster B.
Before You Begin

Before you perform the software upgrade, turn off the Cisco UP Presence Engine on all nodes in the local
cluster, see Prerequisites for an Intercluster Upgrade, page B-4.
Procedure
Step 1 Perform the software upgrade in the local cluster.

Step 2 Check the status of the intercluster peer connection. If the tomcat certificate is out-of-sync, you need to
manually update the tomcat trust certificate following the procedure we describe in this module.
Step 3 On each node in the upgraded cluster, turn on the XCP services that are applicable to your deployment.
Step 4 Restart the Cisco UP XCP Router on all nodes in the local cluster.
Step 5 Restart the Cisco UP XCP Router on all nodes in any remote cluster that you have already upgraded to
Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.0(x) prior to this upgrade.
When you restart the Cisco UP XCP Router, Cisco Unified Presence establishes the connection between
intercluster router to router connectors in the home and remote clusters.
Step 6 Check the following:
Check the status of the intercluster peer connection again. If the intercluster peer status is ok, move
to the next step.
Select Cisco Unified Presence > System > Notifications and verify that there are no active
notifications. If there are no active notifications, move to the next step.
Step 7 If the remote cluster has an intercluster peer connection with a Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.0(x)
cluster, or the remote cluster is running interdomain federation over SIP, restart the Cisco UP XCP SIP
Federation Connection Manager service on all nodes in the remote cluster that you have already
upgraded to Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x. If the remote cluster does not have an intercluster peer
connection with a 7.0(x) cluster, or is not running interdomain federation over SIP, turn off the Cisco UP
XCP SIP Federation Connection Manager.
Step 8 If the local cluster that you upgrade to Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x has an intercluster peer
connection with a remote Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.0(x) cluster, you must turn on the Cisco UP
XCP SIP Federation Connection Manager service on all nodes in the local cluster.
B-6

Note If, following this upgrade, all peer clusters in your intercluster deployment are running Cisco Unified
Presence Release 8.x, and no clusters are running interdomain federation over SIP, you can turn off the
Cisco UP XCP SIP Federation Connection Manager service on all clusters.
Step 9 Turn on the Cisco UP Presence Engine on all nodes in the local cluster,
Step 10 Turn on the Cisco UP Presence Engine on all nodes in any remote cluster that you have already upgraded
to Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x prior to this upgrade.
Note If you perform an intercluster upgrade from Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.0(x) to Cisco
Unified Presence Release 8.0(x), you must restart the Cisco UP XCP Router on all nodes in both
the local and remote clusters.
Step 11 Verify that the roster migration is complete, see Verifying that the Roster Migration is Complete on
Cisco Unified Presence, page B-7.
Step 12 Request that all Cisco Unified Personal Communicator users in the local and remote cluster sign out, and
sign back in to the application.
The Presence Viewer only displays local watchers. Therefore, if you configure an intercluster peer
connection between a Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.0(x) cluster and a Cisco Unified Presence
Release 7.0(x) cluster. when you view the profile of a user on the Presence viewer on Cisco Unified
Presence Release 7.0(x), any Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.0(x) watchers are not displayed.
Similarly, if you view the profile of a user on the Presence Viewer on Cisco Unified Presence Release
8.0(x), any Cisco Unified Presence Release 7.0(x) watchers are not displayed.

Verifying that the Roster Migration is Complete on Cisco Unified Presence

After you perform the intercluster upgrade, the roster migration process continues on Cisco Unified
Presence for the remote users for a long period. Use this procedure to verify that the roster migration is
complete and the system is ready.
Note Only perform this procedure after you complete the upgrade procedure, switch Cisco Unified Presence
software versions, and complete the required configuration on Cisco Unified Presence (licensing, feature
configuration and start the required services).
Procedure
Step 1 Run this CLI command to check the roster upgrade queue on all nodes in the Cisco Unified Presence 8.x
local cluster and all nodes in the Cisco Unified Presence 8.x remote clusters
B-7

run sql select count(*) from rosterupgradequeue
If the rosterupgradequeue table for all of the local or remote clusters is empty, the roster migration is
complete. If the rosterupgradequeue table for any of the local or remote clusters is not empty, the roster
migration is not complete yet (proceed to step 2).
Step 2 If the rosterupgradequeue is not empty and the entry on rosterupgradequeue has not decreased over time,
then perform the following steps on Cisco Unified Presence:
On the publisher node in both the local and remote Cisco Unified Presence 8.x clusters, check that
the maximum contact size limitation is set to zero.
On the publisher node in both the local and remote Cisco Unified Presence 8.x clusters, check for
any system notifications.
On the publisher node in both the local and remote Cisco Unified Presence 8.0(x) clusters, check
that the correct license file is present.
On the publisher node, check that the required services are running, and if they are not, perform
these steps:
Restart the Cisco UP Intercluster Sync Agent on all nodes in the Cisco Unified Presence 8.0(x)
local cluster and all nodes in the Cisco Unified Presence 8.0(x) remote clusters.
On the local publisher node, restart the Cisco UP Config Agent service.
Restart the Cisco UP XCP Router service on all local Cisco Unified Presence nodes and on all
remote Cisco Unified Presence nodes.
Restart the Cisco UP Presence Engine service on all local Cisco Unified Presence nodes and on all
remote Cisco Unified Presence nodes.
Restart the Cisco UP XCP SIP Federation Connection Manager service on all remote 7.0(x)
Cisco Unified Presence clusters.
Step 3 It may be necessary to repeat steps 1-2 until the rosterupgradequeue tables are empty on all nodes in the
local Cisco Unified Presence cluster and remote Cisco Unified Presence clusters. However, note that
roster migration is a CPU intensive process, and a process that takes a significant time to complete. The
completion time is dependent on the size of the remote contact and rosters table in your deployment.
If you switch the software version from Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.0(x) back to Cisco Unified
Presence Release 7.0(x) on local cluster, make sure that the rosterupgradequeue table is empty on all
nodes in the remote 8.0(x) clusters before you perform an upgrade in local cluster again.
