Administering a Unity Connection Cluster

Steps to Check the Unity Connection Cluster Status from Web Interface

Step 1 Sign in to Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability of either publisher or subscriber server.

Step 2 Expand Tools and select Cluster Management.

Step 3 On the Cluster Management page, check the server status. For more information about server status, see the Server Status and its Functions in a Unity Connection Cluster, page 4-5section.

Steps to Check Unity Connection Cluster Status from Command Line Interface (CLI)

Step 1 You can run the show cuc cluster status CLI command on the publisher server or subscriber server to check the cluster status.

Step 2 For more information about server status and its related functions, see the Server Status and its Functions in a Unity Connection Cluster, page 4-5section.

Managing Messaging Ports in a Cluster

In a Unity Connection cluster, the servers share the same phone system integrations. Each server is responsible for handling a share of the incoming calls for the cluster (answering phone calls and taking messages).

Depending on the phone system integration, each voice messaging port is either assigned to a specific server or used by both servers. Table 4-1describes the port assignments.
