Clone an Instance of a Cisco Unified CM Device Model

To save time, make a copy of an existing instance of a device model rather than adding a new one. To do this, use the clone operation. When you create a clone, give it a new unique name and modify other device model fields as needed before saving.

Note

You can clone an instance of a device model to the same Cisco Unified CM or to a different Cisco Unified CM.

If you clone to a different Cisco Unified CM, make sure that all device model fields have values that are appropriate for the target Cisco Unified CM. For example, make sure calling search spaces specified in the source instance exist on the target Cisco Unified CM.

Procedure

  1. Log in as provider, reseller, or customer administrator.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • If you logged in as provider or reseller administrator, choose Device Management > CUCM > {device_model_type}.
    • If you logged in as customer administrator, choose Device Management > Advanced > {device_model_type}.

  3. From the device model list, click the instance to be cloned.

  4. Click Action > Clone.

  5. Depending on the device model, do one of the following:

    • When prompted, choose the NDL that contains the target Cisco Unified CM.
    • choose the target Cisco Unified CM from the CUCM drop-down menu.

  6. Enter a unique name for the new instance of the device model in the Name field.

  7. Modify other fields as required.

    For more detailed information about the fields, see the corresponding topic on configuring a new instance of the device model. For example, if you are cloning a SIP trunk, see under How to Configure SIP Trunks for the SIP trunk field descriptions.

  8. Click Save to save the cloned instance.

The new instance appears in the list. The new instance is created on the target Cisco Unified CM.
