Media Resource Group List Configuration
Media resource management comprises working with media resource groups and media resource group lists. Media resource management provides a mechanism for managing media resources, so all Cisco CallManagers within a cluster can share them. Media resources provide conferencing, transcoding, media termination, and music on hold services.
A Media Resource Group List provides a prioritized grouping of Media Resource Groups. An application selects the required media resource, such as a Music On Hold server, from among the available media resources according to the priority order that is defined in a Media Resource Group List.
Use the following topics to configure Media Resource Group Lists:
