MCU Pool Orders

The MCU Pool Orders list shows the MCU pool orders that are defined in the Polycom DMA system. In a superclustered system, this list is the same on all clusters in the supercluster. A pool order contains one or more MCU pools and specifies the order of preference in which the pools are used.

Note

MCU pools were called MCU zones in earlier versions of the Polycom DMA system.

The name was changed to avoid confusion with the concept of gatekeeper zones.

Every conference room (VMR) is associated with an MCU pool order in one of the following ways:

•By direct assignment. See “Edit Conference Room Dialog Box” on page 329.

•Via the user’s enterprise group membership.

•From the system default.

The pool(s) to which an MCU belongs, and the pool order(s) to which a pool belongs, are used to determine which MCU is used to host a conference. For some examples of how MCUs can be organized into pools for specific purposes, see “MCU Pools” on page 152.

Note

If you have a Polycom RealPresence Resource Manager system that uses the DMA system API to schedule conferences on the DMA system’s conferencing resources (MCU pools), you must create MCU pools and pool orders specifically for the use of the RealPresence Resource Manager system. The pool orders should be named in such a way that:

•They appear at the top of the pool order list presented in the RealPresence Resource Manager system.

•Users of that system will understand that they should choose one of those pool orders.

If the RealPresence Resource Manager system is also going to be used to directly schedule conferences on MCUs, those MCUs should not be part of the conferencing resources (MCU pools) available to the DMA system.
