the standard Microsoft SQL conventions to specify named instances, for example:
SQL1.company.com\vidgrp
. If you are unsure of what to enter for your existing SQL server,
ask your SQL Server Administrator.
If you selected an existing SQL Server, enter the SQL login information. The specified user is
used to create and/or access the Cisco TMS database. Enter the username and password and
click Next.
If you are installing a new SQL Server locally, these fields are disabled and a separate page is
displayed after you click Next in which you must set a new sa password for the database server.
4. If an existing Cisco TMS database is found on the specified SQL server, a prompt asks whether
you want to re-use the existing database. If the database is an older version and you select ‘Yes’,
Cisco TMS automatically updates the existing database to the current version and retains the
existing information. If you choose ‘No’, the installer quits and you must manually remove the
database from the SQL server if you wish to use that SQL Server. Review the
SQL guidelines
before proceeding with an upgrade to ensure you are prepared for any additional steps or changes
that must be performed based on your previous Cisco TMS version.
5. If an existing database is found, Cisco TelePresence recommends that you back it up before
upgrading.
Enter a path for the backup file and filename or click Browse to navigate to a folder. The backup is
performed on the SQL Server itself, so these values are local to the SQL Server. Then click
Backup. This may take several minutes. When complete, click Next.
Figure 12 Backing up Cisco TMS.
Note: The installer places the provisioning database (OpenDS) backup in the Cisco TMS backup
folder (by default <TMS folder>\wwwTMS\Data\Backup\opends).
6. If the selected SQL server does not contain a Cisco TMS database, select a collation for the new
Cisco TMS database. By default the collation is the same as the SQL server.
