Lelio,<div><br></div><div>IPCC expressly states the same LAN. However Unity I don't think states same LAN (I could be wrong). As long as you are on a high bandwith MAN you should be fine. Just forget to mention that fact when you open a TAC case :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>I can say that I have Unity with HA working with about 4000 subscribers over an MPLS network. Between servers is around 12ms RTT. The actual bandwith of the link is a 20MB link.</div><div><br></div><div>

<br>That being said, I think both Unity and IPCCx (IPCCx for sure) plainly state that HA pairs have to be on the same switch (unless that has recently changed). It's no big surprise that the UC components have been taking a while to match other Cisco failover/security technology.<br>

Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] Disaster Recovery site<br><br>Scott,<div><br></div><div>Honestly most business I deal with have moved away from DR and moved to a business continuity plan. Although it sounds the same DR typically means restoring from backup with an acceptable window of downtime. However a Business continuity plan is more of a Warm or Hot standby type environment.</div>
<div><br></div><div>With that being said CCM, Unity and IPCC all support a failover type situation that would serve you far better than trying to restore from a backup.</div><div><br></div><div>I can tell you that restoring CM from a backup takes a few hours minimum so you are looking at a long day to even think about getting just the phone system up and functioning.</div>
<div><br></div><div>For the price take a look at getting the HA licenses for Unity and IPCC.

<div> </div>
<div>All sounds great, but how do you install the CM cluster(UCCx, Unity, CER etc). Do I have to buy new licensing or not? I can't remember if I can install CM second node without the license file? in the case of the disaster (fire) am I going to be stuck waiting on cisco licensing? </div>

<div>What are others doing? Should I be rethinking DR?</div>
