Understanding Cluster in Detail

Step 5 On the server with Secondary status (the one you want to shut down), change the status:

a.Sign in to the Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT).

b.From the Cisco Unity Connection menu, select Port Monitor. The Port Monitor tool appears in the right pane.

c.In the Node field, select the server with Secondary status.

d.In the right pane, select Start Polling.

e.Note whether any voice messaging ports are currently handling calls for the server.

f.If no voice messaging ports are currently handling calls for the server, skip to Step5g..

If there are voice messaging ports that are currently handling calls for the server, on the Cluster Management page, in the Change Port Status column, select Stop Taking Calls for the server and then wait until RTMT shows that all ports for the server are idle.

g.On the Cluster Management page, from the Server Manager menu, in the Change Server Status column for the server with Secondary status, select Deactivate.

Caution Deactivating a server will terminate all calls that the ports for the server are handling.

h.When prompted to confirm the change in the server status, select OK.

i.Confirm that the Server Status column indicates that the server now has Deactivated status.

Step 6 Shut down the server that you deactivated:
