Cisco Cisco TelePresence Video Communication Server Expressway

Remove a live Cisco VCS from a Cisco VCS X5 cluster (permanently) 

2.  If you have any endpoints registering to the Cisco VCS that has now been removed, change the 

configuration of the endpoint (or the configuration of the DNS server entry that points to the 
cluster peers) so that they register to one of the remaining clustered Cisco VCS peers instead. 

 

Warning: The removed Cisco VCS will retain its configuration at the time it is removed from the 
cluster, and will continue to function as a non-clustered Cisco VCS. It is recommended that after it 
has been removed from the cluster it is taken out of service (e.g. perform xcommand 
DefaultValuesSet Level: 2

 and xcommand DefaultLinksAdd) or the Cisco VCS is 

reconfigured with an alternative configuration, so that other devices no longer try to use it as a cluster 
peer. 

On Cisco TMS  

1. Select 

Systems > Navigator (and any required sub folders) then click on the Master Cisco VCS. 

2. Select 

the 

Clustering tab. 

3. Click 

Update Cluster in TMS. 

 

Removing a live Cisco VCS from a cluster is now complete.
