My understanding is for high availability the standby is just that, standby in case your primary server fails. so you would need to run all the same stuff on it as you would the primary server. <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

<div>OK so I am venturing into new waters for me personally and trying to setup IPCC Express. I have some basic experience with IPCC express from my last job. I did not set it up there but I did have to learn the basics and admin it to some extent.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway, new job and well they just so happen to have purchased IPCC Express Premium back in Jan. The two servers (7835H) have been sitting boxed up in storage the whole time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am in the process of installing and setting things up now for testing / demo to see how we will utilize it. I have downloaded and read just about all of the documentation but I am still unsure of a few things.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Documentation is never geared to ones exact environment or setup of course, not to mention its not always the best or most practical real world information.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So, I want to bounce questions / concerns off the group so that I can feel better that I am understanding and following things correctly, and to also get any feedback on how others might have done things.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here is where I am in the install process. I have installed OS and IPCC express / SQL (NOT MSDE since this is premium) on both servers. I have rebooted and went through the cluster setup as well.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am now doing the server setup on IPCC1 server. The reason for the questions is because of the difference in the way the "active and standby" is handled for IPCC over that of CallManager. So, I am at the component activation part of the server setup for what I would call the primary server.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All services are licensed, but only one is currently activated "CRS Node Manager". It is my understanding / assumption that I would activate all of the services I am licensed for. With only two servers you don't run some services on one server and some on the other right? In IPCC you only really have one server running and doing everything right? The standby is just that, a standby correct?
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>More to come I am sure but for now I just need to get through this part. :-) Thanks in advance for everyones help and guidance.</div>
