Multiple Unified Expert Advisor Clusters with a Single Cisco Unified Presence Cluster
Note that, if two Unified Expert Advisor clusters share the same Cisco Unified Presence cluster, both
will import the same set of Cisco Unified Presence users. Functionally it would be safe to configure them
all as expert advisors on both Unified Expert Advisor clusters, but doing so causes reporting and
statistical irregularities because each advisor will be counted as two agents in Unified ICM. Therefore,
it is important to partition the Cisco Unified Presence user list manually within Unified Expert Advisor
so that one set of users is configured as expert advisors in one Unified Expert Advisor cluster and the
other set of users is configured as expert advisors in the other Unified Expert Advisor cluster.

Deploying Unified Expert Advisor with Various Cisco Unified Presence
Deployments
Deployments
The Cisco Unified Presence 6.x may be deployed in a number of different ways with respect to both
Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco Unified CM clustering. This section describes the degree to which
Unified Expert Advisor supports each scenario.
Cisco Unified Presence and Cisco Unified CM clustering. This section describes the degree to which
Unified Expert Advisor supports each scenario.
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.
