The primary and secondary servers act in the following manner:
•When the primary server is operating normally, the secondary server is inactive.
•When the primary server becomes inactive, the secondary server becomes active.
•When the primary server becomes active again, the secondary server becomes inactive.
Setting Up the Secondary Server for Failover
Do the following procedure to integrate the secondary server.
To Set Up the Secondary Server for Failover
Step1 Installa secondary server with the same configuration as the primary server. Forinstallation instructions,
refer to the applicable Cisco Unity installation guide.
Step2 Makeall voice connections from the phone system to the corresponding ports on both the primary server
and the secondary server. For example, connect port1 from the phone system with port 1 on both the
primary and the secondary servers.
Step3 Connect one serial cable from the serial port on the phone system to the data splitter unit.
Step4 Connect the remaining two serial cables to the two serial ports on the data splitter unit. Then connect
oneserial cable to the serial port on the primary server and the other serial cable to the serial port on the
secondary server.
Step5 On the Windows Start menu of the secondary server, clickPrograms > Cisco Unity> Manage
Integrations. The UTIM window appears.
Step6 On the Integration menu of the UTIM window, clickNew. The Telephony Integration Setup Wizard
appears.
Step7 Enter the settings to match the integration settings on the primary server.
Note We recommend not reassigning any unassigned subscribers and call handlers to the new
integration, if you are asked by the wizard. Failover replication will automatically assign the
correct integration.
Step8 At the prompt to restart the Cisco Unity services, clickYes.
