Create a Site

Note

References to HCM-F and Shared Data Repository (SDR) are only relevant if installed.

In VOSS-4-UC, if the site name matches an HCM-F customer location, you can migrate the customer location as a site.

  1. Log in as provider, reseller, or customer administrator.
  2. Make sure that the hierarchy is set to the customer for whom you are creating the site.
  3. On the Sites form (default menu Site Management > Sites), click Add.
  4. Complete the following fields:
Option Description
Site Name

The name of the site. This field is mandatory.

Note:

Any spaces in the site name are converted to underscores in the site local administrator name and email, if the Create Local Admin check box is selected.

Note: A customer location that has been configured in HCM-F and synced into VOSS-4-UC may exist at the sys.hcs hierarchy. If the Site Name you enter matches this customer location, the Migrate from HCM-F to VOSS-4-UC check box is displayed. Click Save to migrate this customer location to a site at the current hierarchy level. The fields are populated with the values that were configured in HCM-F. If you do not want to migrate the customer location, enter a different Site Name.

You cannot migrate a customer location to a site if the customer for the site is different than the customer associated with the customer location.

When migrating a customer location to a site, an NDL is not selected for the site. You can set the NDL for the site later.
Description A description for the site.
Extended Name

External clients can use the Extended Name of the site if needed. This field is not used by other components within Cisco HCS.

Note:

This field exists in the Customer Location record in SDR. When the customer is managed by Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager 8.1(x), the Extended Name is synced from Cisco Unified Communications Domain Manager 8.1(x) to the Customer Location record in SDR. When the customer is managed by VOSS-4-UC, the Extended Name is synced from VOSS-4-UC to the Customer Location record in SDR.
External ID External clients can use the External ID of the site if needed. This field is not used by other components within Cisco HCS.
Create Local Admin Controls whether a default local administrator is created for the site.
Option Description
Cloned Admin Role The customer role used to create a new role prefixed with the site name. The created site role, shown in the Default Admin Role field, is assigned to the default local administrator user. This field appears only if the Create Local Admin check box
  is selected.
Default Admin Role The created site role that is assigned to the default local administrator. This field is read-only and appears only if the Create Local Admin check box is selected.
Default Admin Password The password to assign to the default local administrator. This field appears only if the Create Local Admin check box is selected.
Repeat Default Admin Password Confirm the default local administrator password. This field appears only if the Create Local Admin check box is selected.
Country The country is used to determine which dial plan to download to the site when the dial plan is configured on the site. This field is mandatory.
Network Device List Choose the NDL containing the UC applications and WebEx to be used by the site. Once an NDL has been set for the site, it cannot be removed from the site, nor can the NDL be changed to another NDL.
Auto Push Users to CUCM

If enabled, users are automatically pushed to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager that is associated with the NDL. The default is disabled. Note: You can edit the site later, and select this check box for one of the following reasons:

  • To automatically push users at the site to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. User surname must be filled in.
  • To perform an Auto User Push when an NDL is added to the site.
  • To perform an Auto User Push when a Cisco Unified Communications Manager is associated with an NDL.

Only users with user type “End User” are pushed to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
  1. Click Save.

Once saved, the following occurs:

  • A Site hierarchy node is created.
  • A Location is created.
  • A Customer Location in the SDR is created.
  • Optionally, a default site administrator is created.
  • If the Auto Push Users to CUCM check box is selected:
    • All users associated with the NDL are pushed to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager associated with the NDL. User surname must be filled in.
    • Only users with user type “End User” are pushed to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
