Frequently Asked Questions About the Operating System Installation
Which Cisco Unified Communications applications may I install on the same
server as Cisco Unified CallManager?
Consider the following information before you install other software besides Cisco Unified CallManager
on the Cisco MCS or the Cisco-approved, customer-provided server:
• The system does not support Cisco Unity on a server that runs this version of the operating system.
• To identify the Cisco Unified Communications applications that you can install on the Cisco Unified
CallManager server, see “Which Cisco Unified Communications applications use the Cisco Unified
Communications operating system?” section on page 8.
• Cisco strongly recommends that you install a security agent to protect your servers against
unauthorized intrusion. Cisco offers the following security agent options: Cisco Security Agent
(CSA) for Unified CallManager and Management Center for Cisco Security Agent (CSA MC).
CSA for Cisco Unified CallManager comprises a standalone agent and security policy that is
designed to be used on all servers in the voice cluster. Because the policy that this agent includes is
configured specifically for Cisco Unified CallManager and other Cisco Unified Communications
applications, you cannot update or view it. You can download the agent from
http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cmva-3des.
If you want to add, change, delete, or view rules and policies that CSA for Cisco Unified
CallManager includes, or if you want to add support for non-Cisco approved, third-party
applications, you must purchase and install the fully managed console, CSA MC. CSA MC requires
a separate, dedicated server to be used as the management center. This management center allows
you to create agent kits that are then distributed to agents that are installed on other network systems
and servers.
To access information on Cisco Security Agent, see Table 2 on page 5.
Caution If you are uncertain whether a Cisco Unified Communications application is supported on the server, do
not install it. Before you install the application, always review the application documentation for
recommended configurations and installations.
May I run a web browser on the server?
Cisco strongly recommends that you do not run a web browser on the Cisco MCS or a Cisco-approved,
customer-provided server. Cisco approved, customer-provided servers must adhere to exact server
configurations. See Table 2 for references to documents on server hardware specification.
Running a web browser on the server causes CPU usage to surge; access the server by using a web
browser from another computer on the same network.
