The Cisco WebEx Meetings Server 2.5 has been released on October 17th. This version comes with a long-awaited Multi-Data Center (MDC) support, which is essentially High Availability and load sharing between two geographically distributed areas. Be warned, though, that a separate MDC license is required (read more about MDC Licenses in CWMS 2.5 Administration Guide). The other neat feature that could be attractive to multi-national companies is the IVR language selection for system access telephone numbers (13 languages are supported).
The ISO is available from CCO. Please refer to release notes for full information.
Did the upgrade work for you? I´ve tried 5 times to upgrade a 2.0 MR5 to 2.5 but the IRP virtual machine goes down every time after the update.
Hi Joel,
Haven’t tried upgarding our environment to 2.5 as of yet. Re your issue with IRP: have you attempted to contact Cisco TAC for this? This could be a bug CSCun81639 that you are hitting “IRP shows as down from Admin HA but appears to be up” (https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCun81639). The workaround is to restart the IRP node.
