[cisco-voip] General design question re: partitions

[Erick Bergquist]

It depends, but as far as Voicemail ports. If you have Unity failover
and set up failover in a way the failover server answers calls if a
call is received, then if someone calls one of the numbers on one of
those VM Ports then Unity goes into failover. Not really good. So in
this scenario, partitoning off the VM ports into a partition that
isn't in a CSS works. Then you set a wildcard translation pattern to
cover the VM DN range so if people call a VM port # directly it goes
to the VM Pilot number.
