Distributing Smart Call Home Using CFS

You can use Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) to distribute a Smart Call Home configuration to all CFS-enabled
devices in the network. The entire Smart Call Home configuration is distributed except the device priority
and the sysContact names.
For more information about CFS, see the "Configuring CFS" section.

Database Merge Guidelines

When you merge two Smart Call Home databases, the following guidelines apply:
• The merged database contains the following information:
• Destination profile names cannot be duplicated within the merging devices—even though the

High Availability

Both stateful and stateless restarts are supported for Smart Call Home.

Virtualization Support

One instance of Smart Call Home is supported per virtual device context (VDC). Smart Call Home uses the
contact information from the first registered VDC as the administrator contact for all VDCs on the physical
device. For example, if you want the Smart Call Home to use the contact information from the default VDC,
you should register using that VDC. You can update this information at the Smart Call Home web site at the
following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/go/smartcall/
Smart Call Home registers the contacts for all other VDCs as users that can see all the Smart Call Home data
for the physical device but cannot act as administrators. All registered users and the registered administrator
receive all Smart Call Home notifications from all VDCs on the physical device.
◦ A superset of all the destination profiles from the merging devices.
◦ The destination profile email addresses and alert groups.
◦ Other configuration information (for example, message throttling, or periodic inventory) present
in the managing device.
configurations are different, the names cannot be duplicated. If a profile name is duplicated, one of the
duplicate profiles must first be deleted or the merger fails.
