[cisco-voip] Split 1 publisher and 2 subscribers into 2 independent publishers and 1 subscriber

[Fred Hunt]

Currently we have one publisher and one subscriber in one office and a subscriber in a remote office.  A company split is occurring and I am wondering if I can take the remote site subscriber and make it an independent publisher.  I've heard that it is against Cisco best practices to only have a publisher and no subscribers, but I cannot find anything explicitly stating that.  My "Administering Cisco Unified Communications Manager 7.0" book states "While it is possible to have a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster of only one server, it is not recommended due to the lack of failover protection if the server fails."  I am aware of the risk involved due to lack of redundancy, but this may only be temporary.

Is anyone aware of documentation that specifically states this is unsupported?
Does anybody have experience operating with only a publisher?
Is there a process involved to convert a subscriber to a publisher?

Thanks
Fred
