Cisco Unified Expert Advisor
Cisco Unified Expert Advisor (Unified Expert Advisor) functionality is a new feature in Cisco Unified Communications System Release 7.0(1).
Cisco Unified Expert Advisor is product option within a unified contact center. It extends the contact center by allowing an "expert(s)" to handle certain incoming contacts. For example, there might be a situation where the contact center customer requires a discussion or advice from a specialist or expert(s). This expert is not a member of the formal contact center but agrees to be "on call" to provide consultation services.
Expert advisors establish their presence and availability to take a call by the presence state of their instant messaging (IM) Client, for example: Available or Away. The expert advisor IM Client (such as Unified Personal Communicator) effectively serves as the "agent desktop" for experts. Once an expert's availability and acceptance of the message request are confirmed, the call is routed to the expert. The formal contact center agent can also conference the expert into a customer call.
For a detailed description of the new functionality and other information, see Release Notes for Cisco Unified Expert Advisor Release 7.5(1) at:

When deploying the Cisco Unified Communications System in a customer environment, remember the following:
•At the minimum, customers should deploy the software release recommended in these tables.
•For CSA, customers should use the latest engine and policy release. CSA software is available at:
http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/csa
•For other software components, customers should use the most current rebuild of a maintenance release. For IOS, information about the latest releases, including deferral advisories, is available at:
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-ios.shtml
At this URL, you can also access Feature Navigator and read about the Cisco IOS Roadmap.
•If the recommended release has been deferred to a subsequent release, customers should use the subsequent release.
•Before deploying a release, examine the open caveats in the chosen release to determine if any will impact your implementation. Open caveats can be viewed through the Bug Toolkit, located at:
http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/
•Deploy the chosen release in a lab environment that uses the same product components as the customer's product components before moving it to a production environment.

Important Notes
This section includes important notes related to the testing of Cisco Unified Communications System Release 7.0(1) for Contact Center.
•HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update
HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update
The HP SCSI hard drive firmware update issue addresses the following defects:
•CSCse71185: Certain HP Ultra320 SCSI HDs May Exhibit Reduced Perf and Timeouts
•CSCse71295: HP FW Recommended to Min Potential for Media Errors on Certain SCSI HD
•CSCso98836: HP Ultra320 SCSI HDD FW Upgrade
CSCse71185: Certain HP Ultra320 SCSI HDs May Exhibit Reduced Perf and Timeouts
A ProLiant server configured with any of the HP Ultra320 SCSI hard drives listed in HP Customer Advisory #C00677430 (available at http://www.hp.com) may exhibit reduced performance or have excessive timeouts. This performance issue is caused by the dynamically adjusted seek time profile table in the drive firmware after it becomes degraded.
When this problem occurs, the reduced performance is characterized by occasional brief delays in command response time while servicing random workloads and in severe cases the drive may exhibit command timeouts, which requires a server reboot for recovery.
CSCse71295: HP FW Recommended to Min Potential for Media Errors on Certain SCSI HD
A ProLiant server configured with any of the HP Ultra320 SCSI hard drives listed in HP Customer Advisory #C00542020 (available at http://www.hp.com) may report media errors or illuminate the drive fault LED. The corrected firmware version (HPB4 or later) reduces the hard drive idle time that could potentially lead to build-up of media lubricant on the disk surface or drive head, causing the drives to report media errors or illuminate the drive fault LED.
CSCso98836: HP Ultra320 SCSI HDD FW Upgrade
A ProLiant server configured with any of the HP Ultra320 SCSI hard drives listed in HP Customer Advisory #C00859596 (available at http://www.hp.com) may exhibit timeouts and SCSI downshifts.
These problems may occur on the following server models:
•MCS-7835-1266 (DL380-G2)
•MCS-7835H-2.4 (DL380-G3)
•MCS-7835H-3.0 (DL380-G3)
•MCS-7835-H1 (DL380-G4)
•MCS-7845-1400 (DL380-G2)
•MCS-7845H-2.4 (DL380-G3)
•MCS-7845H-3.0 (DL380-G3)
•MCS-7845-H1 (DL380-G4)
The affected hard drives for these problems are listed in the associated HP Customer Advisories. However, the Cisco provided HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update CD can be applied to all listed server types and the impacted drives will be updated if applicable.
To update the firmware to a Cisco tested level, use the Cisco provided HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update CD released simultaneous to the Cisco Unified Communications System Release 7.0(1). For more details on installing the firmware, see the README.txt file for HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update CD.
The ISO image for the Cisco provided HP SCSI Hard Drive Firmware Update CD and associated readme file may be obtained from Cisco.com at the following navigation path:
