In a primary/secondary configuration, license keys are installed on both
servers. When adding a secondary server to an existing primary server,
the license key for the secondary server must correspond to the license
key on the primary server in terms of the number of telephone users and
the number of voice mailboxes. If you are using the default license key on
the primary, the secondary server default key will match. If you have
purchased and installed additional licenses on the primary server, you
must purchase and install matching licenses on the secondary server.

Preparation

1 Reconfigure the primary VCX Connect server for operation in a
primary/secondary configuration.
a Using one of the connection methods outlined in
VCX Connect Server"
in to the root account.
b Run the vcx-reconfigure script.
Typically, you do not need to change any of the network parameters of
the primary server. If you want to add or change such items as a DNS or
NTP server, you can answer yes to the network configuration prompt and
then supply the new information.
c Enter or change these parameters:
IP address of the secondary VCX Connect server
Hostname of the peer IP Messaging system (enter vcxsec)
When the vcx-reconfigure script has been completed, the primary VCX
Connect server is rebooted. The server is then ready to communicate with
the secondary VCX Connect server. When the secondary server has been
completely configured, the two servers operate as a primary/secondary
pair.
2 Log out of the primary VCX Connect server.
3 Unpack the secondary server and connect it to a power source.

Configuring Networking Parameters

1 Connect the eth0 interface of the secondary server to a hub or switch
that is not connected any network.
CAUTION: Some VCX Connect servers have two Ethernet interfaces. The
VCX software on a VCX Connect server uses only the eth0 interface. You
can connect to either the eth0 or the eth1 interface in order to configure
the server but you must use eth0 for normal server operation.
