Step 1
Install the first Application Server (Node 1).
During installation, you configure the hostname and IP address of eth0, which is called “Ethernet 
Port 1(device eth0)” on the Network Setup page.
Step 2
Install any licenses on the first Application Server (Node 1). For information about licenses, see the 
About Licenses module in the Planning Guide for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 7.1 at 
Step 3
Log in to the CLI of Node 1.
If you are logging in remotely, use the eth0 IP address or hostname.
Step 4
Enter the following command to set up Node 1 for failover:
failoverUtil setDeployment failover 
Step 5
Follow the CLI prompts to configure the virtual network interface (eth0:0) with an IP address, subnet 
mask, default gateway, and hostname.
Node 1 automatically restarts and enters standby mode.
Step 6
Install the second Application Server (Node 2), ensuring the following:
  •
Node 1 and Node 2 use the exact same IP address and hostname for eth0.
  •
Time is synchronized between Node 1 and Node 2. 
Step 7
Install any licenses on the second Application Server (Node 2) in active mode and reboot the system. For 
information about licenses, see the About Licenses module in the Planning Guide for Cisco Unified

Step 8
Log in to the CLI of Node 2.
If you are logging in remotely, use the eth0 IP address or hostname.
Step 9
Enter the following command to set up Node 2 for failover:
failoverUtil setDeployment failover 
Step 10
Follow the CLI prompts to configure the virtual network interface (eth0:0) with an IP address, subnet 
mask, default gateway, and hostname.
Node 2 automatically restarts and enters standby mode.
