The examples are based on a single Cisco CallManager cluster. If you have more than one cluster, you must repeat the configuration in each cluster. The route points and translation patterns (if applicable) will be different in each cluster, but you can use the same partition and calling search space names, and the same Personal Assistant user name.

For detailed information about how Personal Assistant uses calling search spaces and partitions, see the “Partitions and Calling Search Spaces” section on page 1-4.
