Chapter 4 Configuring Personal Assistant

Specifying the Cisco CallManager Internal Directory Configuration (Personal Assistant Version 1.4(3) or Later)

Specifying the Cisco CallManager Internal Directory Configuration (Personal Assistant Version 1.4(3) or Later)

Personal Assistant uses the directory Cisco CallManager is using to maintain system configuration information such as corporate directory settings and some user information such as call routing rules and user recorded names. In a typical configuration, Cisco CallManager uses its internal directory, DC Directory. When Cisco CallManager is in a cluster, Personal Assistant maintains information on the publisher server. If Cisco CallManager is using its internal directory, you can specify the directory configuration to have Personal Assistant read information from an available subscriber server in the same cluster if the publisher is unavailable.

Note that because Personal Assistant can only read information from a subscriber server, it cannot update configuration information unless the publisher is in service.

To specify the Cisco CallManager internal directory configuration, you identify the subscriber servers in the Cisco CallManager cluster.

Do the following procedure only if you are using Personal Assistant version 1.4(3) or later and if Cisco CallManager is using its internal directory.

To Specify the Cisco CallManager Internal Directory Configuration

Step 1 In the Personal Assistant Administration, select System > Cisco CallManager Directory. The Cisco CallManager Internal Directory Configuration page opens.

Step 2 In the Cisco CallManager Subscriber Server field, enter the host name or the IP address of the subscriber server, and click Add.

Personal Assistant adds the server to the list of subscriber servers for the Cisco CallManager cluster.

Step 3 Repeat Step 2 for each subscriber server.

Step 4 Click Save to save and activate your changes.

Configuring Personal Assistant Servers

You must configure each Personal Assistant server to define its operating characteristics and to add it to the server cluster.

To Configure Personal Assistant Servers

Step 1 In the Personal Assistant Administration, select Servers > Server Configuration. The Server Configuration page opens.

This page has two columns:

•The left column lists the Personal Assistant servers you have already added to the Personal Assistant server cluster. Click a server name to view and change the server properties. The primary Personal Assistant server is indicated by a red arrow.
