<div>Hi Mike...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>You can install multiple instances of RTMT on one server / pc.</div>
<div>I had this running on my workstation here.. just for 2 clusters mind you. But different versions.</div>
<div>Seeing if I can find the URL.. I think it is just in the Cisco docs for monitoring / managing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I think CUOM has the potential to be great but.. it depends on whether you are willing to persevere in the meantime though.</div>
<div>If you have IPCC enterprise, then it has even more potential.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I had CUOM trial version running against 6.1 but didnt do too much with it.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Couple of obvious questions..</div>
<div>Are the cluster ID's different for each one?</div>
<div>Have you tuned the CallManager monitoring in CUOM.. i.e. dont manage services that are not running on certain boxes.</div>
<div>i.e. if you have CallManager disabled on your pub.. it still reports it as down I think.</div>
<div>We went and manually adjusted this.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Personally I think CUOM should be clever enough to discover what is running and not report the services that are disabled as down.. but it wasnt :)</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div> </div>
