Overview of Mandatory Tasks for Installing

Cisco Unity

Note If you are upgrading Cisco Unity, refer instead to the Cisco Unity Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide 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 failover and networking; to backing up Cisco Unity.

Note Cisco assumes that the Exchange 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.

We recommend that you check off tasks as you complete them.

Part 1: Installing and Configuring the Cisco Unity Server

The tasks in Part 1 reference chapters in the Cisco Unity installation guide, unless otherwise noted.

Note Begin the installation on the computer that will be the primary Cisco Unity server. The task list alerts you when to install the secondary Cisco Unity server. Both servers must have the same enabled features and configurations.

1.Confirm that you are using the correct version of the Cisco Unity installation guide for your configuration.
