BE6K, 2 publishers (clusters) on same UCS hardware

[rodgero81]

Hello,

Is it possible to install two different clusters (2 publishers) in a Cisco UCM BE 6000 Edition on the same UCS hardware?

Hello, I didnt see the message on time. However, I didn't know that a sip trunk would work. I decided to use h323, as gateway to route the calls from one  publisher to another publisher.

I actually achieved it  with h323, after I restarted the whole server. May be i will try that option of sip trunk

I know this is an old post but I have a similar requirement today. The documentation is contradictory at best and people from the BU have told me that the CUCM in BE6K is no different from the one on UC on UCS or BE7K and so long I stick to the limit of 1000 users or 1200 phones I can have as many subscribers and as many clusters as the CUCM version can handle.  All of these comments have been on informal conversations. Please let me know if any one has this similar setup. 

Thanks!

Compare BE6K to BE7K data sheets, the difference is hardware it runs on and thus user capacity, for example BE7K can support up to 5000 users when solution is sized/build accordingly with enough virtual machines, etc.  BE6K supports up to 1000 users.

As to number of Subs, etc. you can have as many as the cluster supports and that makes sense, i.e. up to 8 call processing subs, etc.
