Prerequisites

Requirements

- Webex Calling

- Cisco Unity Connection (CUC)

- Cisco Instance  Messaging and Presence (IM&P)

- Cisco Emergency Respoder (CER)

Components Used

The information in this document is only applicable to Cisco Webex Calling Dedicated Instance deployments.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Background

Webex Calling Dedicated Instance (DI) is unique in that Cisco TAC engineers have limited read-only access to servers hosted in DI. Additionally, they have been trained on how to properly relay requests to the operations and lifecycle teams. For this reason, all TAC cases related to DI must be opened using specific DI keywords. Once the DI TAC team has accepted the case, they triage the issue. If TAC determines assistance is needed from another Cisco TAC team, they co-ordinate joint ownership of the case using internal processes.

All TAC cases for issues that occur within Dedicated Instance including, but not limited to CUCM, CUC, IM&P, CER, Expressway, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) servers, and any endpoints registered to a Dedicated Instance hosted CUCM must be opened in accordance with the steps outline in the next process.
