Discovering Cisco Unity Connection servers
1. On VCS Control, go to
Configuration > Unified Communications > Unity Connection servers
.
The page lists any Cisco Unity Connection nodes that have already been discovered.
2. Add the details of a Cisco Unity Connection publisher node:
a. Click New.
b. Enter the Unity Connection address.
b. Enter the Unity Connection address.
You can enter an FQDN or an IP address, but we recommend using the FQDN when TLS verify
mode is On.
mode is On.
c. Enter the Username and Password of an account that can access this server.
Note: These credentials are stored permanently in the VCS database.
d. [Recommended] Leave TLS verify mode switched On to ensure VCS verifies the node's tomcat
certificate.
e. [Optional] Select which deployment this node/cluster will belong to.
The Deployment field does not show if you have not created multiple deployments. All nodes belong
to the default deployment if you choose not to use multiple deployments.

f. Click Add address.
If you enabled TLS verify mode, then the VCS tests whether a secure connection can be established.
It does this so you can find any TLS configuration errors before it continues the discovery process.
If the secure connection test was successful, or if you did not enable TLS verify mode, then the
system attempts to contact the publisher and retrieve details of its associated nodes.

Automatically generated zones and search rules
VCS Control automatically generates non-configurable neighbor zones between itself and each discovered
Unified CM node. A TCP zone is always created, and a TLS zone is created also if the Unified CM node is
configured with a Cluster Security Mode (
