Licensing query...

[Aaron Harrison]

Dull I know, and not really a technical query... but...

I've just tried putting together a parts list for a 200 user UM system using the 'dynamic configuration tool' on cisco.com .... wonderful thing that it is (!).

It's given me this parts list:

UNITY-4.0

Unity 4.0 1

UNITY-IP

Unity for CallManager, IP Only Integrations 1

UNITY-EXCHANGE

Unity for Exchange 1

UNITY-DS-ENG

Unity Data Store - in English 1

UNITY-MS-ENG

Unity Message Store in English. Not required for Domino. 1

UNITYU4-200USR-E

Unity UM Exchg, 200 users, 16 session, 2 TTS 1

UNITY-FOVRSVR4-32

Cisco Unity Data Store 4 -32 sessions - Per Processor 1

UNITYUM-FOVR-USR

Per user for Unified Messaging Failover 200

Included: UNITY-MSG-STR5.5

Unity Message Store 5.5 1

It seems to think I need a message store - surely I don't, since I'm using the already in-place Exchange resources?

How do these various part numbers tie in with the UNITYU4-200USR-E bundle? Aren't most of these parts (except for the failover bits) included in the bundle?

Basically I'd like to know exactly what I need to specify over the bundle 200 user UM package to get a working failover pair. Also am I right in concluding that if I wanted to extend the number of sessions or TTS sessions I would just buy an additional license for the main Unity box and this would automatically be applied to the failover box without additional licensing there?

Thanks folks

Aaron

I can only answer the Exchange question. Even if you have an existing Exchange deployment we still give you a copy of Exchange. We do this just incase you have only clustered Exchange servers and need to use AMIS, VPIM or Bridge networking. These all require the Voice Gateway 2000 which can't run on a cluster. I work in support and I'd rather we don't support Exchange at all for UM cause it implies that we will support Exchange with UM which isn't the case. So I understand why it is confusing.

Thanks,
