Chapter 7      Cisco Unified Expert Advisor Option
Deployment Models
Cisco Unified Presence High Availability
Cisco Unified Presence 6.x and 7.x generally support a cluster configuration that consists of a publisher 
server and a subscriber server. Clients may be logged in to either server, and messaging flows between 
them as required. During an outage, it is possible for either the publisher or the subscriber to fail, leaving 
the other server to handle the full load. With Cisco Unified Presence 6.x, Cisco Unified Personal 
Communicator clients that are logged into the failed server do not automatically fail-over to the 
surviving server; and the user must explicitly log out and log in again. With Cisco Unified Presence 7.x
the Cisco Unified Personal Communicator clients are able to do this automatically.
Unified Expert Advisor, however, does not automatically fail-over to the surviving Cisco Unified 
Presence server. It allows the address of only one Cisco Unified Presence server to be configured; and if 
that server fails, then Unified Expert Advisor takes itself out of service until the failed server is restored.
Similarly for call control purposes, Unified Expert Advisor can be configured to connect to only one 
Cisco Unified Presence server's SIP Proxy server. There is currently no capability to automatically retry 
SIP requests to a second SIP Proxy server.
On the other hand, for the purpose of importing Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and IP Phone 
Messenger (IPPM) user lists into Unified Expert Advisor, both the publisher and the subscriber can be 
configured. Unified Expert Advisor will automatically try one and then the other if necessary.
For SIP, instant messaging, and presence purposes, both Unified Expert Advisor runtime servers should 
be configured to connect to the Cisco Unified Presence publisher only; and for Microsoft Office 
Communicator deployments, this should usually be the same server that is federated with the Microsoft 
Office Communications Server (OCS) as a best practice.
Intradomain, Intercluster Deployment
Unified Expert Advisor does not currently support intradomain, intercluster deployments. In this 
scenario, two (or more) Cisco Unified Presence clusters are configured to work with their own separate 
Cisco Unified CM clusters. Each Cisco Unified Presence cluster has its own configured user base, but 
they share with each other a certain amount of information about each user. Thus, a user on one Cisco 
Unified Presence cluster is able to observe presence of, and send IM messages to, a user on another Cisco 
Unified Presence cluster.
Unified Expert Advisor, however, does not support this deployment. One Unified Expert Advisor cluster 
must be connected to exactly one Cisco Unified Presence cluster and can import the user list only for 
users who reside on that one cluster.
If expert advisors reside on different Cisco Unified Presence clusters, then different Unified Expert 
Advisor clusters must be deployed as well.
Interdomain Deployment
Unified Expert Advisor does not currently support Cisco Unified Presence clusters that are deployed in 
separate domains. All experts must be located in the same domain.
Deployments in which expert advisors use Microsoft Office Communicator actually work by defining an 
interdomain federation link between Cisco Unified Presence and Microsoft Office Communicator 
Server. However, a single Unified Expert Advisor deployment cannot support situations in which some 
experts are using Cisco Unified Personal Communicator and other experts are using Microsoft Office 
Communicator as their IM clients. If any use Microsoft Office Communicator, then all must use 
Microsoft Office Communicator, and their domain name will all be the Microsoft Office 
Communications Server (OCS) domain name. Therefore even in this case, all experts are located in the 
same domain, although that domain will be different than that of the Cisco Unified Presence server itself.
