Overview of Mandatory Tasks for Installing Cisco Unity
Note If you are upgrading Cisco Unity, refer instead to the Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide for
Cisco Unity for upgrade instructions.
Use the following high-level task list to install the Cisco Unity system correctly. The tasks reference
detailed instructions in the Cisco Unity installation guide, and in other Cisco Unity documentation as
noted. Follow the documentation for a successful installation.
The task list leads you through the complete installation of the Cisco Unity system—from installing and
configuring the Cisco Unity server; to populating the Cisco Unity system with subscriber and call
management data; to setting up optional features, such as networking; to backing up Cisco Unity.
Note Cisco assumes that the Domino environment is already set up and working before the Cisco Unity
system is installed.
The list is divided into seven parts. Some of the tasks apply only to specific situations, and are noted as
such. If a task does not apply to your situation, skip it.
