If a meeting is scheduled with video ports, the web-conferencing component is always held on the web
server that has the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Video Integration installed. If that server goes down, the
meeting rolls to another web server after 5 * Load Stats Poll Period (default equals 5 minutes). Since the
second web server does not have the video integration installed, video functionality from the meeting
console is disabled.
Video Meetings in Segmented Meeting Access Deployments
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing supports two segmented meeting access deployments
that allow web conferences to be held on both internal and external web servers. For more information
on these deployments, see
Chapter 3, “Installing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing for a
Segmented Meeting Access Configuration.”
In a Segmented Meeting Access-1 Server (SMA-1S) deployment, users with access to the video MCU
can schedule both internal and external video meetings from the Web.
In a Segmented Meeting Access-2 Server (SMA-2S) deployment, the following rules apply:
SQL Server Considerations
If you have multiple SQL Server databases, keep the following considerations in mind:
• If a video-enabled web server is in an internal cluster, all web servers connected to it must share the
same SQL Server database.
• Web servers that do not conform to this configuration are not visible to the shared SQL Server
database and are considered external to the video-enabled web server. Users attempting to schedule
internal video meetings from these web servers are denied. They are, however, able to schedule
external video meetings by setting the Allow Internet Access parameter to Yes.
If... Then...
The video integration is deployed on an internal
web server. Users can schedule internal video-enabled
meetings from the Web. Requests to schedule
external video meetings are denied.
When scheduling meetings, users must make sure
the Allow Internet Access parameter on the New
Meeting scheduling page is set to No. Setting it to
Yes results in failed scheduling requests.
System administrators and users with System
Manager privileges can still schedule external
video meetings from MeetingTime, but users may
not see video features when attending from the
Web.
The video integration is deployed on an external
web server. Users can schedule external video meetings from
the Web. Requests to schedule internal video
meetings are denied.
