Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence on Cisco UCM 9

[ryabutler]

Hi,

I want to confirm something with Cisco UCM version 9.  IM and Presence seems to be not native within Cisco UCM as a service.  Do I have to install a seperate "Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Service" server?

If so, is the software installation of "Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence Service" on the same Cisco Unified Communications 9 DVD or a seperate DVD dedicated for the IM and Presence service?

Any help on this would be great.  Thank you!

It's still the same as previous versions, one CUCM server, one IM&P server.

Separate install files, only CUCM/CUC/CUCMBE share the same install file.

The main difference is most of the config is done via CUCM and not on the IM&P server

Thanks for the fast response Jaime.

I guess I had high hopes thinking that the CUPS functions were finally intergrated into CUCM.  But its Cisco, so I shouldn't be surprised anymore.

Thanks again!
