Important Information

All-third party applications, including Cisco-provided and Cisco-approved applications that are co-resident on the Cisco CallManager server, must be stopped and disabled before you use the restore process.

---

Note Be sure to stop and disable all intrusion-detection applications, such as Cisco Security Agent and any virus-protection software, before using the restore process.

---

---

Tip After using BARS to perform a restore, be sure to reinstall Cisco IP telephony applications/products/plugins/service releases/locales/add-on devices to versions that are compatible with the restored version of Cisco CallManager. If this is not done, you may lose data during the next upgrade of Cisco CallManager as well as losing all locales and add-on devices.

Setting the Trace Directory Path to Default C: Drive

If you are replacing a server with four drives, Cisco recommends that you set the trace directory path on the server to the default C: drive before you back up your server. After you install Cisco CallManager on the new server, you can configure the trace drive to collect trace files.

Use the following procedure to set the trace directory path to the default:

Procedure

---

Step 1 In Cisco CallManager Administration, choose Application > Cisco CallManager Serviceability.

The Cisco CallManager Serviceability window displays.

Step 2 Choose Trace > Configuration.

Step 3 From the Server pane on the left side of the Trace Configuration window, click the server name or IP address of the four-disk drive server.

Step 4 Click the Cisco CallManager service.

The Trace Configuration window for the service and server displays.

Step 5 In the upper-right corner of the window, click the SDL Configuration link.

Step 6 In the Trace Directory Path field under Trace Output Settings, change the drive letter to C:.

Step 7 Click Update.

Submitting a Service Request

Using the online TAC Service Request Tool is the fastest way to open S3 and S4 service requests. (S3 and S4 service requests are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Service Request Tool automatically provides recommended solutions. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your service request will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The TAC Service Request Tool is located at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/techsupport/servicerequest

For S1 or S2 service requests or if you do not have Internet access, contact the Cisco TAC by telephone. (S1 or S2 service requests are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded.) Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to S1 and S2 service requests to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

To open a service request by telephone, use one of the following numbers:

Asia-Pacific: +61 2 8446 7411 (Australia: 1 800 805 227)
EMEA: +32 2 704 55 55
USA: 1 800 553 2447

Definitions of Service Request Severity

To ensure that all service requests are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established severity definitions.

Severity 1 (S1)—Your network is "down," or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Severity 2 (S2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Severity 3 (S3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Severity 4 (S4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
