3.1.3 Media Convergence Servers 
This section describes the steps that should be taken to set up Cisco Media Convergence 
Servers for network management. 
Note: All steps may not be required, and some steps can be expanded with more functionality. 
The following section is applicable to all the Cisco IP Communication components that 
run on Cisco MCS platforms. Examples include Cisco CallManager, Cisco Unity, Cisco 
Unity Connection, Cisco IP Contact Center, Cisco Conference Connection, Cisco 
Emergency Responder, Cisco IP Contact Center Express, and Cisco Personal Assistant. 
3.1.3.1 HP Insight Manager Agent Service 
The hardware instrumentation on Cisco MCS on HP platforms is provided by the HP 
Insight Manager software running as a service or a set of services on the system. As a 
part of the Cisco-provided IP Telephony Operating System, these services are 
automatically installed. You can verify that these services have been installed by viewing 
the services’ user interface (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services). 
If they have not been installed, you need to install them on the HP system. If these 
services have been stopped for any reason, restart them. 
 
3.1.3.2 IBM UM Services 
The hardware instrumentation on Cisco MCS on IBM platforms is provided by IBM UM 
Services running as a service or a set of services on the system. As a part of the Cisco-
provided IP telephony operating system, these services are automatically installed. You 
can verify that these services have been installed by looking at the process umslmsensor 
in the task manager interface. Search under C:\Program Files for a folder titled UM 
Services. 
 
The Windows Service ibm director wmi cim server  runs, by default, on IBM Servers and 
prevents the start of Operations Manager Service Level View. After this service 
is stopped, the Service Level View starts normally.  
 
The recommended version of IBM Director is 5.10.1.  This is incorporated in OS build 
for CM  2000.4.3. 
3.1.3.3 Windows/MCS SNMP Service 
As a part of the standard IP Telephony OS installation, the SNMP service on the Media 
Convergence Server  (MCS) is installed, but community strings are not specified. For 
Operations Manager to manage the device, the device (that is, the Cisco CallManager, 
Cisco Unity, etc.) must have a proper SNMP read community string defined for the 
SNMP service.
