Adding Enterprise Survivable Server in Survivability Hierarchy

Last Updated : Feb 28, 2023 |

About this task

The IP address for the Enterprise Survivable Server (ESS) is configured under Survivability Hierarchy for the switch connection. The ESS connection in the survivable hierarchy becomes active if the Communication Manager fails while the Communication Manager switch connection is In Use and the ESS connection status is Idle.

The Cluster ID/MID configured here matches the Cluster ID of the ESS or the Survivable Processor configured on Communication Manager.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the DC2 Application Enablement Services web admin portal.
  2. Navigate to Communication Manager Interface > Switch Connections.
  3. On the Switch Connection page, click Survivability Hierarchy.
  4. Type the ESS Cluster ID/MID value configured earlier and click Insert.
  5. Click Edit PE IP and type the ESS server IP address.
  6. Restart the Application Enablement Services server.

    The Application Enablement Services connects to the DC1 Communication Manager using the switch connection and to the ESS using the Survivable Hierarchy functionality when the Communication Manager fails.
