Server Configuration

---

Use the server configuration to specify the address of the server where Cisco Unified Communications Manager is installed. If your network uses Domain Name System (DNS) services, you can specify the host name of the server. If your network does not use DNS services, you must specify the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the server.

---

Note You must update the DNS server with the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager name and address information before you use that information to configure the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.

For DNS, make sure that you map the IP addresses of all servers, including dummy nodes, to the hostnames on the DNS server. If you do not perform this task, Cisco Unified Communications Manager generates alarms that the License Manager service is down.

Finding a Server

Because you might have several servers in your network, Cisco Unified Communications Manager lets you locate specific servers on the basis of specific criteria. Use the following procedure to locate servers.

Note During your work in a browser session, the cookies on the client machine store your find/list search preferences. If you navigate to other menu items and return to this menu item, or if you close the browser and then reopen a new browser window, your Cisco Unified Communications Manager search preferences get retained until you modify your search.

---

Procedure

---

Step 1 Choose System > Server.

The Find and List Servers window displays. Records from an active (prior) query may also display in the window.

Step 2 To find all records in the database, ensure the dialog box is empty; go to Step 3.

To filter or search records

•From the first drop-down list box, select a search parameter.

•From the second drop-down list box, select a search pattern.

•Specify the appropriate search text, if applicable.

---

Note To add additional search criteria, click the + button. When you add criteria, the system searches for a record that matches all criteria that you specify. To remove criteria, click the - button to remove the last added criterion or click the Clear Filter button to remove all added search criteria.

---

Step 3 Click Find.

All matching records display. You can change the number of items that display on each page by choosing a different value from the Rows per Page drop-down list box.

---

Note You can delete multiple records from the database by checking the check boxes next to the appropriate record and clicking Delete Selected. You can delete all configurable records for this selection by clicking Select All and then clicking Delete Selected.

---

Step 4 From the list of records that display, click the link for the record that you want to view.

---

Note To reverse the sort order, click the up or down arrow, if available, in the list header.

---

The window displays the item that you choose.

Configuring a Server

This section describes how to add or update a server address to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database.

Before You Begin

Before you configure a server, review the following information:

•You must update the DNS server with the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager name and address information before you use that information to configure the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server.

•Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration does not prevent you from updating the IP Address field under any circumstances.

•When you attempt to change the IP address in the Server Configuration window, the following message displays after you save the configuration: "Changing the host name/IP Address of the server may cause problems with Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Are you sure that you want to continue?" Before you click OK, make sure that you understand the implications of updating this field; for example, updating this setting incorrectly may cause Cisco Unified Communications Manager to become inoperable; that is, the database may not work, you may not be able to access Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, and so on. In addition, updating this field without performing other related tasks may cause problems for Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

•Changes to the server configuration do not take effect until you restart Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For information about restarting the Cisco CallManager service, refer to the Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide.

•For additional information on changing the IP address, refer to the document, Changing the IP Address and Host Name for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.0(1).

Procedure

---

Step 1 Perform one of the following tasks:

•To add a server, choose System > Server and click Add New.

•To update a server, find the server by using the procedure in the "Finding a Server" section.

The Server Configuration window displays.

Step 2 Enter the appropriate settings as described in Table 2-1.

Step 3 Click the Save icon that displays in the tool bar in the upper, left corner of the window (or click the Save button that displays at the bottom of the window) to save the data and to add the server to the database.

Changes to the server configuration do not take effect until you restart Cisco Unified Communications Manager. For information about restarting the Cisco CallManager service, refer to the Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide.

Table 2-1 Server Configuration Settings 

Field	Description
Server Information
Host Name/IP Address	If your network uses DNS services, you can enter the host name of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server. Otherwise, you must enter the full IP address of the server. Note You must update the DNS server with the appropriate Cisco Unified Communications Manager name and address information before using that information here.
MAC Address	Consider this entry as optional. Enter the media access control (MAC) address of the network interface card (NIC) in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server. The MAC address specifies the permanent hardware address of the NIC. Tip If you plan to move the server periodically to different locations on the network, you must enter the MAC address, so other devices on the network can always identify the server. If you do not plan to relocate the server, consider entry of the MAC address as optional.
Description	Consider this entry as optional. Enter a description of the server.
