MeetingPlace Video usage of Conference ports / licenses

rhugo · ‎10-31-2007

I have a MeetingPlace 5.4 install i just completed for a customer with the following components:

CallManager 4.2(3) PUB & SUB

MeetingPlace 8106 Audio Server, configured for Pure IP environment

MeetingPlace 5.4 Web Server / Video Integration on an MCS 7845 / H2

meetingPlace 5.4 Video Admin on an MCS 7845 / H2

MeetingPlace H.323 / IP Gateway on an MCS 7835 / H2

IPVC 3545 MCU with (3) EMP cards for video

Cisco 2821 IOS Gatekeeper

this install was designed with MP Video to support 67 sites with Tandberg endpoints. (I didn't design it?) Everything seems to work just fine, but, when we tried to run a capacity test today, I went to set up the meeting and add 67 Video Callers, the meeting setup was rejected with the following error:

Error:[12843] There are not enough video resources available to schedule your meeting

Error:[22929] Failed to shcedule a video meeting

What I want to know is this:

As far as licenses, I currently have the following....30 Conference licenses

Does there need to be additional licenses added to accomodate the video callers?

BTW, in MeetingTime, I have "Max. Ports per meeting" set to 30 and, when I try to change it, it rejects the change as well.

please advise?

I was just troubleshooting a video issue recently, and although our problems were different, I learned a few troubleshooting tools.

1. Go on your MCU and see if you can schedule Video meetings directly on the MCU, just to see if that piece works.

2. If that is working, go on your Video Admin web interface and go under Admin/Resource Management...click the MCU tab and then click on the link to the MCU. There is an Update button down there. Click the Update button, then try again.

What I have discovered is if that at any point your restart your MCU and don't click that Update button after, the Video Admin will get out of sync with the MCU and not be able to schedule Video.

So that is something to try to start with.

I found the issue. Apparently there is issues with the version of Video Admin I was using and how it DIDN'T support high resolution video for the Service prefix settings. TAC recommended I combine MCU v5.1.2 with Video Admin 5.4.0.112 and Video Integration 5.4.204 to allow ALL of the available ports to register from the MCU and it's EMP cards. It's basically a failed sync of the transcoding that takes place on the MCU.
