Cisco Systems OL-14619-01 Voice Messaging Configuration, Criteria for a Supported Configuration

Chapter 5 Designing a Cisco Unity System with Domino as the Message Store

Voice Messaging Configuration

Table 5-3	Server Requirements and Recommendations for a Unified Messaging Configuration (continued)
Servers		Requirements and Recommendations
Cisco Unified Communications		The Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CM) Express (formerly known as Cisco
Manager Express		Unified CallManager Express) and Cisco Unity servers must be connected by a LAN.
Cisco Unity voice-recognition		The Cisco Unity voice-recognition server and the Cisco Unity server must be connected by
server		a LAN.
		For each Cisco Unity server that homes subscribers for whom you want to have
		voice-recognition functionality, you must have one voice-recognition server. A
		voice-recognition server cannot service more than one Cisco Unity server or, when failover
		is configured, one pair of failover servers.
		Voice-recognition software cannot be installed on the Cisco Unity server.
Cisco Unity Bridge server		The Bridge server can be a member server in an existing domain or a workgroup server. It
		cannot be a DC/GC.
		The Cisco Unity Bridge and Cisco Unity servers can be connected by a LAN or a WAN.
		Bridge software cannot be installed on the Cisco Unity server.
		For more information, see the Design Guide for Cisco Unity Bridge at

Unified Messaging, Domino Cluster

A clustered environment is the same as the non-clustered environment detailed in Table 5-3except that all Domino servers have to be in the same highly available and connected LAN as the Cisco Unity server.

Domino partitioning is also supported.

Voice Messaging Configuration

A clustered environment is the same as the environment detailed in Table 5-3except that all Domino servers are dedicated to servicing Cisco Unity voice messages.

Criteria for a Supported Configuration

Requirements for supported configurations for Cisco Unity for Domino include the following:

•Domino servers and Domino clusters must meet all IBM Lotus requirements, including requirements related to DUC for Cisco, the maximum number of users per server, the proper amount of memory, the proper processors and processor speed, hard disks that can meet disk-access response times, and placement of data files and transaction log files. Cisco Unity cannot support message store servers that have performance bottlenecks such as slow hard drives or insufficient memory.

•A Cisco Unity server can service a single physical site, meaning one or more well-connected LANs, such as a campus, single building, or other centralized facility where network bandwidth is not a problem.
