Core Issue
The accounts are defined
- The SQLSvc account functions as the core account that is used for server-to-server interaction within a Cisco CallManager system. This account supports the Cisco Database Layer Monitor service and must be the same on every machine in the cluster for database replication to work properly.
- The Structured Query Language (SQL) Server Administration (SA) Account serves as the default SQL Server administration account. The SA password is used only during installation and migration. Most of the system does not use this account.
Caution: The SQLSvc password and the SA password can be different, but a password chosen for the SA account must be the same for all the servers in the cluster. The same rule applies for the SQLSvc account password as well.
