[cisco-voip]Unity Question

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I wouldn't mind confirmation of this. When we were researching backup options we decided to buy hardware to backup our two Unity servers (7855s) and were told we could simply plug in the harddrives and it would work. We tested this and it did, but I don't think we did any sort of time trial.

  What version of Unity? Unity 4.x has license tied to
  MAC file. Maybe the other machine was not plugged in
  and at one time someone programmed the NIC to have
  same MAC as other machine perhaps? 

  I think unity will run for a few hours also (or
  perhaps days) before it stops due to licensing issues.
