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.
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
page3 29.
•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
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.
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.
