Check replication status:
Note: It can take 5 or so minutes before Cisco VCS reports the successful status. If problems are

seen, refresh the screen after waiting 5 minutes.
On each Cisco VCS currently added to the cluster:
7. Go to the Clustering page (VCS Configuration > Clustering)
- Clustering status should show Status Enabled
- VCS system configuration replication status should show Last synchronization result
SUCCEEDED
- VCS system configuration replication status should show Last synchronization result
SUCCEEDED
8. If replication with Cisco TMS is enabled
Select the link “View TMS Agent replication status”
- check that the top line of the TMS Agent replication status report reports Replication Enabled
- check that the top line of the TMS Agent replication status report reports Replication Enabled
If there are other Cisco VCS peers to add to this cluster, upgrade them and add them into this cluster
by completing “Upgrade non-master peers” and “Add an X6.0 VCS to the VCS X6.0 cluster” for all
non-master peers.

Enable replication for the whole cluster
If Cisco TMS is used:
1. If Device Provisioning or FindMe is to be used in this cluster
2. Select Systems > Navigator (and any required sub folders) then select the Master Cisco VCS.
3. Select the Clustering tab
a. Set Enable TMS Agent Data Replication on all Cluster Peers.
