The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This document describes how to replace a single server or an entire cluster for Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Replacement means that you replace the server hardware while preserving the server configuration. The replacement server operates identically to the old server.
In Release 10.0(1) and later, Cisco supports only virtualized deployments of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified Communications Manager) on Cisco Unified Computing System servers, or on a Cisco-approved third-party server configuration. In Release 10.0(1) and later, Cisco does not support deployments of Unified Communications Manager on Cisco Media Convergence Server servers. For more information about the deployment of Unified Communications Manager in a virtualized environment, see http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_in_a_Virtualized_Environment.
Caution | Because this process is designed to work as a server replacement, you need to do it in the live environment. Cisco does not recommend doing this process on a "dead net" because a duplication of the entire network environment is required, which is highly risky. |
