Service
Description
Devices
The Devices service exchanges provisioning licensing information between the VCS and Cisco TMS.
Information is exchanged every 30 seconds — the VCS is provided with the current number of free
licenses available across the range of VCS clusters being managed by Cisco TMS, and the VCS
updates Cisco TMS with the status of provisioning licenses being used by this VCS (or VCS cluster).

If the Devices service is not active, the VCS's Provisioning Server will not be able to provision any

The VCS periodically polls the Cisco TMSPE services to ensure the data held on VCS is kept up to date. The
polling interval can be defined for each service. In typical deployments you are recommended to use the
default settings which provide frequent (every 2 minutes) updates to FindMe and user provisioning data, and
daily updates to phone book data.

If you have a cluster of VCSs, only one of the cluster peers maintains the physical connection to Cisco TMS.
The data obtained from Cisco TMS is then shared between other peers in the cluster through the VCS's cluster
replication mechanism.

A full and immediate resynchronization of all data between the VCS and Cisco TMS can be triggered at any
time by clicking Perform full synchronization (at the bottom of the of the TMS Provisioning Extension
services page). Note that this will result in a temporary (a few seconds) lack of service on the VCS while the
data is deleted and fully refreshed. If you only need to ensure that all of the latest updates within Cisco TMS
have been supplied to the VCS then click Check for updates instead.

You are recommended to use Cisco TMS to make any changes to the Cisco TMSPE services' configuration settings.
You can configure the services on the VCS through the TMS Provisioning Extension services page, but any changes
made to the settings via this page will not be applied within Cisco TMS.

Using FindMe without Cisco TMS
If you use FindMe without TMS (known as "standalone FindMe"), then all FindMe account information is stored and
managed locally on the VCS. See

VCS Provisioning Server
The VCS Provisioning Server provides provisioning-related services to provisioned devices, using data supplied by
Cisco TMS through the
Cisco TMS through the
mechanism. The server only operates if the Device Provisioning
option key is installed.
As from version X8.1, the VCS supports only the Cisco TelePresence Management Suite Provisioning Extension
(Cisco TMSPE) services to provide the VCS with provisioning and FindMe data. In this mode all provisioning and
FindMe data is managed and maintained exclusively within Cisco TMS.

Provisioning Licenses
There is a limit to the number of devices that can be provisioned concurrently by the Provisioning Server. VCS and
Cisco TMS manage the number of available provisioning licenses by exchanging information through the Cisco
TMSPE Devices service. If the Devices service is not active, the VCS's Provisioning Server will not be able to provision
any devices.
