Add a Cisco UCM server

This procedure adds and configures a Cisco UCM server within a UCM cluster.

1. Log in to the Admin portal with the appropriate hierarchy administrator credentials.

   • Creating a shared instance? Log in as provider or reseller admin.
   • Creating a dedicated instance? Log in as customer, provider, or reseller admin.

2. Set the hierarchy path to the correct level:

   • Creating a shared instance? Set the hierarchy to the provider or reseller level.
   • Creating a dedicated instance? Set the hierarchy to the customer level.

3. Go to the CUCM Clusters and Servers list view.

4. Click the Plus icon (+) to add a new server.

5. On the Base tab/panel, configure server details:

   Field	Description
   CUCM Server Name	Fill out the UCM server name.
   Publisher	When checked, defines that the UC application instance is a publisher, and displays an additional tab/panel (Publisher). When unchecked, defines that the UC application instance is a user. When checked, you'll fill out the Publisher tab/panel fields in the next step.
   Cluster Name	For a UCM Publisher node, fill out the Cluster Name field with the name you want for this cluster. A new cluster is created with this name. For UCM users, choose the UCM cluster from the Cluster Name drop-down.
   Server Type	Mandatory. Choose an option, either VOICE_VIDEO or IM_P.
   Sync on Create/Update	Defines whether to trigger a sync (auto-import) of the UC app server when saving the form.
   Network Addresses	Add network addresses, one or more. Click the Plus icon to add a network address, then fill out details: At Address Space (the type of network address), select SERVICE_PROVIDER_SPACE. If NAT is used, you'll need to add an additional network address (click the Plus icon at Network Addresses), but select address space option APPLICATION_SPACE as the second address space. Additional configuration of NAT on Arbitrator is automated. For more information around setting up assets and probes on Insights Arbitrator, see the Insights documentation. The Hostname field is automatically populated with the UCM server name. Edit it if necessary. At IPv4 Address, fill out the IP address of the UCM server. Either the hostname or the IP address is required. Ensure the hostname or IP address does not contain a trailing blank space since VOSS can't validate entries that contain a blank space at the end of the hostname or IP address. Fill out the domain of the UCM application. Provide an optional description for the network address.

   Field

   Description

   Credentials

   Click the Plus icon to add a set of credentials, one or more: Credential type is ADMIN. This credential is required for Service Inventory to generate reports for UC applications. Expiration of the ADMIN account results in failed data syncs between UCM and Automate. Fill out the user ID and password that you configured when installing the UCM. Optionally, provide a description for the credential. The UCM Admin Account requires the following roles (can be added in a group): For normal AXL Add, Update, Delete transactions: Standard AXL API Access For Extension Mobility Login/Logout: Standard EM Authentication Proxy Rights For querying the Phone Status via RIS API, uploading MOH files via GUI (Selenium Driver) and enabling Headset Service (also RIS API): Standard CCM Admin Users

6. On the Publisher tab/panel, fill out details for the publisher node.

   Note

   This tab/panel displays only if the Publisher checkbox is selected on the Base tab/panel.

   Field	Description
   Call Processing ID	The Call Processing ID of this cluster
   SDR Cluster ID	The SDR UCM cluster ID, as shown on SDR Configuration > SDR CUCM Clusters.
   Version	Choose the version of the UCM servers in this cluster.
   Multi-Tenant	Read-only. If creating at Provider level, this field is set to Shared. If creating at customer level, this field is set to Dedicated.
   Port	The port on the UCM server to connect to. Default is 8443.
   User Move Mode	Choose Automatic to automatically move synced in users to sites, based on the filters and filter order defined in User Management > Manage Filters. Choose Manual if you want an Administrator to manually move synced in users to a Site.
   User Entitlement Profile	Choose the Entitlement Profile that specifies which devices and services users synced from this Cisco UCM are entitled to. Note: A violation of the Entitlement Profile does not prevent a user from being synced to VOSS from Cisco UCM. However, subsequent updates to the user fail until the user's configuration satisfies the restrictions set in the Entitlement Profile.
   Enable Change Notification Sync	Defines whether to enable Change Notification. When enabled, a Change Notification data sync and corresponding schedule will be created. The schedule is initially created as Disabled and needs to be manually enabled from the Scheduling menu. The Change Notification Sync interval is set to 14 days by default.
   Monitoring	For new servers and if Arbitrator servers are available, monitoring can be enabled for this UCM on Insights. The Arbitrator server checkboxes can be selected to add the server as an asset. The Arbitrator server will be updated. Existing servers can be managed from the Onboard Assets and Offboard Assets menus under Insights. The arbitrator checkboxes will then reflect the asset status.

7. Inspect the default mappings and modify if required, see User Field Mapping.

8. Click Save. A UCM network device is created in VOSS. (If installed, a cluster and UCM are created in the SDR.)

9. Test the connection between UCM and VOSS.

Test the connection from the Cisco UCM server to VOSS

Once you've added a UCM server, you should test the connection between the UCM server and VOSS.

1. In the VOSS UI, go to the CUCM Network Devices list view.

2. Click on the UCM you added.

3. Click the toolbar Test Connection icon.

4. If the test fails, and you used a hostname, ensure that VOSS has the correct DNS and Domain set. Refer to the Network services topic in the Platform Guide.

   1. Log in to the platform CLI.

   2. Query the current DNS setting: network dns.

   3. Set the DNS if needed: network dns <dns_server_ip_address>.

   4. Query the current domain setting: network domain.

   5. Set the domain if needed: network domain <domain>.

      Note

      • Use the CUCM Network Device page only for testing the connection. Do not edit UCM from this page. To change any configuration of the UCM, edit it via the Servers (UCM) page in the VOSS UI.

      • After updating DNS servers, you'll need to restart the selenium service on the platform CLI:

        app start selenium

Delete a Cisco UCM server

Deleting a Cisco UCM server in VOSS also deletes local data that has been synced to it from the UCM server, including:

• Users
• Configuration parameters
• Dial plan information (if applicable)

Restore a Cisco UCM server

When restoring a UCM server from a backup, you will need to run a full sync without workflows after the restore, then run the overbuild to return your records to the correct sites.

Configure CUCM server to automatically move synced in UCM users

This procedure automatically moves users that were synced from Cisco UCM, using previously defined move filters.

1. In the VOSS UI, go to CUCM Cluster and Servers list view.

2. Click the server to modify.

3. Locate the Publisher tab/panel.

4. At User Move Mode, select Automatic from the drop-down.

5. Click Save.

   Users are automatically moved based on the previously defined move filters.
