Manual Installation Using vApp Options This option allows you to deploy OVA manually in the VMware Embedded Host Client or vCenter Server where OVA needs to be placed either in the desktop or to the web server. The OVA deployment from a web server is applicable only for vCenter. Note While deploying skip-install OVA through vCenter, you will see additional terminologies in the First Node Access Configuration (Set ONLY on SUBSCRIBERS) field on the customization template. For example, First Node Access Configuration (Set ONLY on 2 settings SUBSCRIBERS). We recommend that you ignore the term 2 settings in this field as this term is parsed from the vCenter configuration settings. Note This task is only supported with the VMware Embedded Host Client or vCenter Server version 7.0 U3 or 8.0 U1. Note Procedure Step 1 Deploy skip-install OVA after obtaining it from Cisco License Central. Step 2 From VMware Embedded Host Client or vCenter Server, deploy OVA from the desktop using the Browse button or enter a URL to download and install the OVA package from the Internet. Step 3 If the OVA is placed in a web server, enter the respective URL while deploying the OVA. For example, http://10.xx.xx.xx/UCSInstall_UCOS_14.xxx.ova. Step 4 Enter the required Unified CM configurations, skip-install OVA, VMware Embedded Host Client, or vCenter for each node in the cluster. The configuration is different for publisher and subscriber nodes. See the Required Installation Information help page to fill the mandatory configuration details. Note With this installation method, you can add up to 5 Unified Communication Manager subscriber nodes and 5 IM and Presence Service nodes in the user interface of Unified CM publisher. If we need to add more subscribers (Unified CM or IM and Presence Service), follow step 5 or step 6 depending on the deployment. Step 5 To perform touchless install on entire cluster including publisher, make sure to check the Dynamic Cluster Config Enable check box in user interface of the Unified Communication Manager publisher, and enter a value between 1-24 in the Dynamic cluster Config Timer field. Step 6 To install subscriber nodes in the cluster after the Unified CM publisher installation completes, perform any one of the following: • Enable the Dynamic Cluster Config Timer option in Unified Communication Manager publisher using the CLI set network cluster subscriber dynamic-cluster-configuration no-of-hours|default.
