It is recommended that these servers connect to the network through redundant paths. 
This ensures that a failure in one part of the network that affects the Active server 
does not also affect the connectivity of the Standby server. 
 
The instructions given below apply to CUOM 1.1 with SP1 patch. Please contact your 
TAC representative to obtain a copy of SP1 for CUOM 1.1

Redundant deployment can be considered in four parts. 
 
a)  Setting up the Active OM server 
b)  Setting up the Standby OM server by creating a baseline. 
c)  Replicate Active OM configuration to Standby OM configuration on a ongoing 

basis 

d)  Things to do in case of Failure of Active server. 
 

 
This is the same as setting up a standalone OM server. Typical tasks include: 
 
-  Setting up users and associating roles  
-  Providing a device list by manually adding devices or syncing up with LMS 

Device Credential Repository or discovering the network using a seed device 

-  Setting up the polling intervals based on your monitoring requirements ( default is 

4 minutes) 

-  Creating Phone Status Tests  
-  Creating Synthetic Tests 
-  Creating Node to Node tests  
-  Setting up SRST polling by creating SRST tests 
-  Enabling performance polling 
-  Setting up notification profiles for north bound notifications 
-  Configuring Service Monitor to forward traps to OM.  
-  Configuring Cisco 1040 Probes to register to the Service Monitor
