IntroductionThis deployment guide describes how to install and configure all server software for an Avaya Aura® Contact Center Release 6.2 Hot-standby High Availability solution.

The following assumptions are made in this document:

• Contact Center Manager Server, Contact Center License Manager, Contact Center Manager Server Utility, Contact Center Manager Administration and Communication Control Toolkit are installed co-resident on a single server

• Contact Center Multimedia is installed standalone on a single server

• The Contact Center solution is installed in an AML-based Avaya Communication Server 1000 Release 7.0 environment. Application Module Link (AML) is an internal protocol used by Contact Center Manager Server to communicate directly with the Avaya Communication Server 1000

• You use a Windows Active Directory Domain Controller and Domain Name System (DNS)

This deployment guide is intended as a specific step-by-step guide that enables the installer to achieve a working Avaya Aura® Contact Center Hot-standby High Availability solution that supports basic voice and e-mail contact types. This guide outlines all basic configuration procedures in order to achieve this; for all additional procedural and conceptual content on Avaya Aura® Contact Center Release 6.2 see the Avaya Aura®

Contact Center 6.2 Documentation Collection, available at http://support.avaya.com.

Attention: To achieve a working Hot-standby High Availability solution, you must follow the procedures in the documented order.

Attention: To achieve a working non-High Availability solution, you must follow the procedures in the documented order until the High Availability Standby Server Configuration section (page 231). Disregard all subsequent High Availability sub-sections.

Attention: For this deployment, Internet Explorer 8.0 (32-bit version) was used.

Prerequisites• Understand the features you purchased with Contact Center.

• Determine your required network components and configuration based on the information in the Avaya Aura® Contact Center Planning and Engineering (NN44400-210).

• Ensure that you have the Contact Center Release 6.2 DVD.

Page 12: AACC CS1000 Deployment Guide

• Ensure that your servers, clients, and network meet the minimum system requirements based on the Avaya Aura® Contact Center Planning and Engineering (NN44400-210).

• Ensure that all software is installed on the servers using a common administration account.

The following two diagrams show examples of how this Avaya Aura® Contact Center High Availability solution works:

Example of Contact Center Hot-standby High Availability Solution (Standby)

Hot-standby High AvailabilityTo achieve Hot-standby High Availability, you must have an AML-based contact center with the following:

• two co-resident Contact Center Manager Server (CCMS), Communication Control Toolkit (CCT) and Contact Center Manager Administration (CCMA) servers configured as a High Availability pair

• Avaya Communication Server 1000 High Availability PBX, Release 6.0 or later.

• two Contact Center Multimedia (CCMM) servers configured as a High Availability pair

• redundant Ethernet switches

All of the above components must be in the same network subnet or campus network location.

Introduction

Avaya Aura® Contact Center supports Hot-standby High Availability (HA) resiliency for Contact Center Manager Server (CCMS), Communication Control Toolkit (CCT), and Contact Center Multimedia (CCMM).

One set of Avaya Aura® Contact Center applications (a CCMS, CCMA, CCT, and a CCMM) actively processes scripts and contacts. This set of applications is called the active set. Another set of identical Contact Center applications in the same contact center system runs in Hot-standby mode. This standby set of Contact Center applications monitors and shadows the active applications in the system but does not process calls. The standby CCMS monitors the active CCMS. The standby CCT monitors the active CCT. The standby CCMM monitors the active CCMM. Each active and standby pair of applications forms a resilient or replication pair. If any of the active applications fail, the standby applications recognize the failure. A switchover occurs, and the standby applications start processing contacts.

Contact Center Administrators use the active server in daily operation. Configuration changes made to the active system during normal operation are automatically copied to the standby applications, therefore the standby applications are configured and ready to take over processing from the active system. Statistical data is also automatically copied to the standby applications. Data is replicated to the standby applications in real time.

Agent experience during a switchoverIf any Avaya Aura® Contact Center application or server fails, this solution ensures that Avaya Aura® Agent Desktop agents do not lose any active contacts. Calls in progress between a customer and an agent are not affected - the agent continues on the call using their deskphone. However, call control is not retained on the Agent Desktop. In certain scenarios, documented in the High Availability – Agent Desktop testing (page 367) section of this guide, the logon state of agents is not preserved when a switchover to a standby application occurs. In this particular deployment, it can take up to 5 minutes for the standby Contact Center Manager Server to begin processing new incoming calls in the script. During this period, calls are assigned to the default ACD by the Avaya Communication Server 1000. No established calls are lost. No calls that are incoming around the time of the failure are lost. No calls that are in treatment at the time of the failure are lost. There is no call loss. The reporting subsystem in CCMS recovers shortly after the script is operational, and the server starts to record events and statistics in the database as normal. If a phone call is on-hold and a switchover occurs, the Agent may have to take the call off hold using their deskphone.

Administrator experience during a switchoverIn a Hot-standby High Availability campus co-resident solution, the contact center Administrator launches Contact Center Manager Administration using the Managed name of the co-resident server.

Introduction

If an active Contact Center Manager Server, Communication Control Toolkit, or Contact Center Manager Administration application or server fails, the Contact Center Manager Administration client Web browser continues to use the Managed name and the contact center Administrator refreshes the Web browser in order to continue to work on CCMA.

Example solution values

CCMA Replication accountThe primary CCMA server and the standby replication CCMA server must both be in the same Windows domain for AD-LDS replication to work. CCMA Active Directory - Lightweight Directory Services (AD-LDS) replication uses a common Windows account, used by both CCMA servers, to copy or replicate data from the primary CCMA to the standby CCMA. Request this CCMA replication account from your Network or Domain Administrator.

Agent Desktop – Domain Organizational Unit and Group PolicyAvaya Aura® Contact Center agents use a domain account to log on to a desktop computer and use Agent Desktop. Ask your Domain Administrator to create a domain user account for each Contact Center agent (if they do not already exist). Add the agent desktop computers to the domain, and then add the desktop computers to a Windows domain organizational unit (OU). Avaya Aura® Contact Center supplies a Group Policy – Administrative Template that must be applied to the Agent Desktop domain Organizational Unit.

Avaya Communication Server 1000 deployment

This section outlines the general parameters to configure on an Avaya Communication Server 1000 for this Hot-standby High Availability deployment.

Prerequisites for Avaya Communication Server 1000 configuration• You are familiar with Avaya Communication Server 1000 operations and

maintenance.

Avaya Communication Server 1000 and Avaya Aura® Contact Center High Availability

Avaya Aura® Contact Center supports High Availability when using an Avaya Communication Server 1000 PABX. The level of High Availability supported depends on your entire solution, including the Avaya Communication Server 1000 release and installation type.

The AML-based Hot-standby High Availability feature is supported when using an Avaya Communication Server 1000 Release 6.0 or later. If you are using a CS 1000 Release 6.0 PABX, you must apply patch MPLR30010 to the PABX to support AML-based Hot-standby High Availability functionality.

If you are using a CS 1000 Release 7.0 or later PABX, the PABX software supports AML-based Contact Center High Availability and therefore the patch MPLR30010 is not required.

In AML-based Hot-standby High Availability solutions, if a Contact Center application or server fails, there is no loss for calls in progress between a customer and an agent - the agent continues with the call on the agent deskphone.

The following table lists the level of Contact Center application High Availability supported for each Avaya Communication Server 1000 release and installation type.

Subsystem Description Verified

PABX Verify that Avaya Communication Server 1000 is operating correctly.

PABX Install required Avaya Communication Server 1000 software packages (use LD 22 to verify the packages).

PABX The following additional PABX requirements are available:

• Avaya Communication Server 1000 dependency PEPs for Contact Center Manager Server

• Avaya Communication Server 1000 dependency PEPs for the specific voice-processing subsystem you use

• provisioning of sufficient Call Registers

PABX Verify that the ELAN subnet connection between Contact Center Manager Server and Avaya Communication Server 1000 is functioning.

Note the current ELAN subnet/VSID number using LD 48 (this is useful for troubleshooting).

Ensure that the default gateway is configured in the PABX using LD 117.

PABX Configure the Active Directory Services (ADS) or SCB block on the PABX with LD 23. Avaya recommends that you use an ADS block.

Attention: Risk of ACD block corruptionBefore performing this task, ensure that all agents log off. Failure to do so can result in corruption of the ACD block.

If you configure the ADS block, you must configure DCUS in the PARM data block with LD 17.

PABX Configure Agent ACD queues in LD 23.

When you configure the ADS or SCB block, the values for HOML and RPRT are YES for existing ACD queues. If HOML=YES, agents are logged off when they replace the handset after a call. If this is not appropriate for your environment, modify the HOML parameter for existing ACD queues.

PABX Configure Contact Center Manager Server CDNs on the PABX.

PABX Configure the agent and supervisor TNs on the PABX.

Adding the server to a domainAdd the server to an existing domain. Do this before installing any Contact Center software.

Attention: Avaya Aura® Contact Center High Availability solutions do not support Windows Server 2008 Dynamic DNS.

Prerequisites• Ask your System Administrator to add a Domain Name System (DNS) static entry

for this server. Each Contact Center server in a domain requires a DNS static entry. In High Availability solutions, ask your System Administrator to add one DNS static entry for the each Managed name and associated Managed IP address. A typical High Availability campus solution with a pair of co-resident servers requires 3 DNS static entries; one DNS static entry for the active server, one DNS static entry for the standby server, and one DNS static entry for the Managed name and associated IP address.

• On this server, configure a preferred Domain Name System (DNS) server on the Network Interface Card (NIC).

Configuring activity codesConfigure activity codes for agents to enter on their phone to track the amount of time spent on specific activities or service areas or to track Not Ready reasons. Agents can enter up to three activity codes during a single contact. If the agent enters no activity code, the contact defaults to the system default activity code.

You cannot overwrite the following default activity codes:

• activity code 000 (Not_Ready_Default_Reason_Code)

• activity code 00 (Skillset_Default_Activity_Code)

• activity code 0 (System_Default_Activity_Code)

Assign a default activity code to a contact if the contact is not queued to a skillset and if no other activity code is assigned.

You add Not Ready reason codes in the same way as you add activity codes, except you must use a different range of numbers to distinguish the Not Ready reason codes from the other activity codes.

Procedure stepsStep Action

Creating a threshold classCreate a threshold class to specify how statistics are treated in reports and real-time displays. You can create threshold classes to distinguish between types of information that the system collects.

For example, you can create different agent threshold classes for customer service trainees and for senior customer service representatives. You can also create different skillset threshold classes for weekday performance and weekend performance.

Prerequisites

Attention: Display thresholds apply to both nodal and network-consolidated real-time displays. Therefore, when you define threshold classes on multiple servers in a networked environment, consider making the values the same on each server. This way, when users launch network-consolidated real-time displays, the threshold conditions shown reflect uniform settings across all servers.

• You must define two values for display thresholds—the low end and the high end of the normal range.

Page 118: AACC CS1000 Deployment Guide

Co-resident server configuration

118 NN44400-803 Contact Center Avaya Communication Server 1000 Deployment Guide 06 April 2012

Configuring office hoursConfigure the days and hours that your contact center is open each week.

Configuring the office hours is important to determine accurate service levels for contacts that may have a delayed response such as e-mail, voice mail, SMS, scanned documents, and faxes. For example, if a contact is received on Friday and processed on Monday and you configure the office hours to show the contact center is closed over the weekend, the queue time for the contact includes only the time the contact center is open.

You can use the office hour calendar in e-mail rules to determine the skillset to which to route the contact. The e-mail rules can send a specific response if the office is closed.

The office hour calendar uses sliders to indicate closed times for your contact center. The Start Closed Period slider is a blue triangle. The End Closed Period slider is a red triangle. Each closed period is shown in red with a Start Closed Period and End Closed Period at the beginning and end of the closed office hours.

Prerequisites• Know the office hours of the contact center.

Contact Center Multimedia server e-mail configuration

Use this chapter to set up your contact center with the configurations for routing e-mail contacts to fulfill your customer requirements.

When you commission your contact center, you configure the e-mail server, a default e-mail skillset, and a default recipient with at least one rule group. The default settings ensure e-mail messages go only to an agent with the ability to handle e-mail messages. You can customize your contact center with additional skillsets, rule groups and e-mail servers.

To further enhance your customer service, you can configure routing tools to use in rule groups. Use keyword groups and sender groups to decide how to route contacts. Configure which skillset and priority the e-mail contact is assigned to based on the input for routing contacts. Use automatic suggestions for the agent to reply quickly to an e-mail or automatic responses to send a reply to the customer without agent interaction. You can close the contact immediately after the automatic response.

You can configure outbound e-mail settings, such as which skillset to use as a reply address and a list of e-mail addresses that must not receive automatic responses. For each skillset you use to route contacts, you can have a signature with your corporate branding or special information based on the skillset.

Other types of contacts generate e-mail messages that are routed using the inbound and outbound e-mail options.

Reports appear in the Contact Center Multimedia Administration utility to show the current status of the e-mail traffic. The following reports appear when you select E-mail and View Reports in the left column of the Contact Center Multimedia application. You can choose the report date and the skillsets represented in all displayed real-time reports.

• E-mail (New Vs. Closed) shows the number of contacts in a new and closed state against the time for the selected date and skillsets.

• E-mail Progress shows the number of contacts in a new or closed state on a defined date to determine the traffic levels for that date.

• E-mail Closed Contacts Queue Time shows the average time an e-mail contact spends in queue while the contact center is open.

You can configure general e-mail settings to minimize space and format special characters for other languages.

Prerequisites for e-mail configuration• Ensure that you are licensed for e-mail contacts.

Configuring the e-mail server namesConfigure the e-mail server names to identify the inbound server (POP3) for e-mail messages received by the contact center and the outbound server (SMTP) for e-mail messages sent by the contact center.

If you configured the e-mail servers during installation and the names of the inbound and outbound e-mail servers remain unchanged, you can skip this procedure.

You can configure secondary inbound and outbound e-mail servers. If a primary e-mail server fails, the e-mail retrieved during the failure is duplicated in the Multimedia database when you restore the primary server.

Creating or changing rule groupsCreate rule groups to apply to the recipient mailboxes and aliases in your contact center.

A rule is a mechanism to route contacts based on who sent the e-mail (sender groups), to apply treatments based on the time a contact was received (office hours), or to route the contact based on words or phrases (keywords). A rule can also send an automatic response and require no interaction by an agent.

A rule group is an ordered collection of rules that are reviewed and compared to the incoming e-mail in a particular order. Contacts that best match or first match the rule are assigned to the skillset based on the rule that routes the contact. The rule group contains the default rule which routes the contact if no other rule in the rule group matches the e-mail message.

You install the Agent Desktop client application on the client computers from the server by accessing a Web location on the Contact Center Multimedia server.

Prerequisites for Agent Desktop client software installation• Install one of the supported operating systems for Agent Desktop on the client

computer. The supported operating systems are:

— Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later

— Windows 7

— Windows Vista

• Install Internet Explorer Release 7.0 or later.

Creating Domain users and groups for agentsCreate domain users for the Contact Center agents (if they do not already exist). Add the agents’ desktop computer to the domain, then add the desktops to a Windows domain organizational unit (OU). Agents need a domain account to log on to the desktop computer to use Agent Desktop. Keeping all the contact center desktops in a single group allows management of policies for them.

Attention: You must have domain administration rights to perform this procedure. If you do not have domain administration rights, ask your Domain Administrator to create or modify the user accounts, agent computer accounts, and organizational unit required by Avaya Aura® Contact Center.

Procedure stepsStep Action

1 Create a domain account for each Contact Center agent.

Agent Desktop Call ControlAvaya Aura® Agent Desktop is a single-interface client application used to interact with customers. You can respond to customer contacts through a variety of media, including phone, outbound contacts, e-mail, Web communication, instant messaging, fax, scanned documents and SMS text messages. Agent Desktop provides automation for customer responses to eliminate repetitive actions, such as typing a common response in an e-mail message.

This chapter describes the main user interface of the Agent Desktop application. There are three main sections to the Agent Desktop user interface:

Example of Agent Desktop layout

The Agent Desktop also provides other controls and menus that are explained in the following chapters.

Work item paradigmThe main Agent Desktop user interface is based on a work item paradigm. Each agent-to-customer interaction is a work item. Work items appear on the Agent Desktop work list. If you perform another interaction associated with that work item (for example, an IM consultation with an expert), then that interaction is displayed as part of the original work item.

The work list consists of work items and control buttons corresponding to the work item. The controls and functions change depending on the work list window behavior. When a new contact arrives, Agent Desktop adds the new contact as a work item to the work list.

Top barThe Top bar appears at the top of the Agent Desktop window. The Top bar provides the system status and main controls to operate Agent Desktop.

Example of work list layout

The illustrated work list shows two work items:

• A work item is a collection of interactions with a customer, another agent, a supervisor, or an expert.

• A work list is a collection of work items. When you receive a new contact, it is added to the work list so that you can monitor your current contacts. When you finish with the contact, or reject the contact, the work item is removed from the list.

Work item controlsEach work item has a number of contact-related controls. These controls change depending on the work list window behavior and contact type.

Only appropriate controls are displayed on work items. Voice-related controls are displayed on a voice work item. IM related controls are displayed on IM work item.

High Availability – CCMA replication pre-install configuration

This chapter describes how to configure the windows accounts used by Contact Center Manager Administration (CCMA) replication in your Avaya Aura® Contact Center solution.

Perform these procedures only on the Avaya Aura® Contact Center primary co-resident server.

Contact Center Manager Administration (CCMA) redundancy is provided by the addition of a replication or standby CCMA server. CCMA stores configuration data in a Microsoft Active Directory - Lightweight Directory Services (AD-LDS) data store. The standby CCMA replicates the AD-LDS on the primary CCMA. The standby CCMA uses AD-LDS replication to maintain a copy of the primary CCMA configuration data. If the active CCMA fails, no loss of configuration data occurs because the standby CCMA replicates the data stored in AD-LDS.

The primary CCMA server and the standby replication CCMA server must both be in the same Windows workgroup or domain for AD-LDS replication to work. AD-LDS replication uses a common windows account, used by both CCMA servers, to copy or replicate configuration data from the primary CCMA AD-LDS to the standby CCMA AD-LDS.

Active Directory - Lightweight Directory Services data storeContact Center Manager Administration makes use of Active Directory - Lightweight Directory Services (AD-LDS) and other data files to store application data. The following data is stored in AD-LDS:

• user information and details

• access classes

• partitions

• private and graphical real-time reports

• real-time report filters

The following data files are not stored in AD-LDS:

• scheduling data for Contact Center Management assignments

• scheduling data for historical reports

• historical report output files

• user-created historical reports imported into Contact Center Manager Administration

• real-time report exported files

High Availability – CCMA replication pre-install configuration

234 NN44400-803 Contact Center Avaya Communication Server 1000 Deployment Guide 06 April 2012

• Emergency Help exported files

• Report Creation Wizard user-created formulas (stored in the file RCW.mdb)

• Report Creation Wizard user-created reports and report definitions

• Audit Trail events

A CCMA replication solution contains a primary CCMA server and a standby CCMA server. The primary CCMA server is installed with "Enable CCMA Replication" not selected. The standby CCMA server is installed with "Enable CCMA Replication" selected. The standby CCMA server is replicating the primary CCMA server AD-LDS contents.

The primary CCMA server is always the primary CCMA server. If the primary CCMA fails, the standby CCMA is still a standby CCMA, they do not switch roles. To restore CCMA solution resiliency, you must repair and reinstate the primary CCMA server, or install a new primary CCMA server using the same details as the previous primary CCMA. After a switchover, AD-LDS replication ensures that data stored in AD-LDS is available on the standby server. Data not stored in AD-LDS must be manually restored to the standby CCMA server.

Domain environmentsPerform the following steps to create the AD-LDS Replication account:

• Ask your Systems Administrator to create a domain user account for use by AD-LDS Replication, for example "thewest.com\AACCHAReplication".

• Assign this domain user account to the local Administrators and local Replicator groups on both CCMA servers.

If the active server is co-resident with Contact Center Manager Server (CCMS) and Communication Control Toolkit (CCT), you must install CCMS, CCT, and CCMA on the standby server. All applications must be on the same patch level.

High Availability – CCMA replication pre-install configuration

Adding the domain AD-LDS replication account to the primary administrators and replicator group

Add the AD-LDS replication account to the local Administrators and replicator group on the primary CCMA server.

Request this AD-LDS replication account from your Network or System Administrator. The primary and standby replicating Contact Center Manager Administration servers must both be added to the same domain.

For this procedure, the name of the AD-LDS replication account is "thewest.com\AACCHAReplication". You can choose another name for the account.

High Availability – Standby co-resident server software installation

This chapter provides the steps to install the primary Avaya Aura® Contact Center server software on the standby co-resident server. This includes the following server software:

• Contact Center Manager Server

• Contact Center Manager Server Utility

• Contact Center License Manager

• Contact Center Manager Administration

• Communication Control Toolkit

• Orchestration Designer

Avaya recommends creating an administration account on the server and then installing Avaya Aura® Contact Center using the account. This account must have full administrative privileges. You must not delete the account. If you delete the account used to install the server software, Avaya Aura® Contact Center stops working.

You can configure this CCMS server as a Standby CCMS to take over contact processing and become the active CCMS if the active CCMS fails. This standby CCMS provides High Availability redundancy and resiliency.

The software installation configuration on the standby server must match the configuration of your primary server. If you installed Contact Center Manager Server and License Manager on your active server, then you must install these two software applications in the same location on your standby server. If the active server is co-resident with CCMS, Communication Control Toolkit (CCT), and Contact Center Manager Administration (CCMA), you must install CCMS, CCT, and CCMA on the standby server. All applications must be at the same patch level.

CCMA stores configuration information in Microsoft Active Directory - Lightweight Directory Services (AD-LDS). Install the standby CCMA to replicate the primary CCMA AD-LDS in your Avaya Aura® Contact Center solution.

This standby CCMA provides redundancy and resiliency and can become the active CCMA if the primary CCMA fails. No automatic CCMA switchover occurs. If the active CCMA fails, the Contact Center uses the standby CCMA.

Prerequisites to co-resident server software installation• Ensure that your new Contact Center license file is available.

High Availability – Standby co-resident server commissioning

This section describes how to configure Hot-standby High Availability (HA) for a pair of co-resident Contact Center Manager Server (CCMS) and Communication Control Toolkit (CCT) servers in a campus with the following deployment:

• Hot-standby AML-based contact center with an Avaya Communication Server 1000 PABX.

Hot-standby High Availability (HA) is configured using the High Availability Utility. If a failure occurs, contact center agents with AML-based Hot-standby High Availability experience a shorter downtime than agents with SIP-enabled warm standby resiliency.

High Availability Campus server commissioning overviewIn a co-resident CCMS and CCT server configuration, one co-resident server is the active server and one is the standby server. The active CCMS and CCT server actively processes scripts, contacts and records statistics. The standby server shadows the active server. The standby server copies all configuration changes made on the active server and monitors the active server status. If the active server fails, the standby server, running in standby mode, recognizes the failure and starts processing contacts. The active and standby co-resident CCMS and CCT servers are part of the same Avaya Aura® Contact Center and they must be in the same subnet IP address range for campus High Availability resiliency to work.

The standby server must be configured the same as the active server. The standby and active servers must have the same patch level and the same hard disk drive partitions. Configuration changes made to the active CCMS and CCT server during normal operation are automatically copied to the standby server so that the standby server can take over processing from the active server when necessary.

In a High Availability campus co-resident AML-based solution, a CCT service failure does not initiate an automatic switchover; if a CCT service stops it is restarted. In a campus AML-based solution with a pair of standalone CCT servers, an active CCT service failure, hardware, network, or database failure can initiate a switchover. Using a pair of standalone CCT servers therefore improves resiliency in an AML-based solution. In a campus co-resident solution, only a CCMS service failure, hardware, network, or database failure can initiate a switchover but only in the following situations:

• The switchover check box on both servers is selected.

• The standby server is shadowing the active server.

• A valid license file containing standby server license information for CCMS and CCT exists to allow switchover.

Page 294: AACC CS1000 Deployment Guide

High Availability – Standby co-resident server commissioning

294 NN44400-803 Contact Center Avaya Communication Server 1000 Deployment Guide 06 April 2012

In a High Availability campus AML-based solution with a pair of standalone CCT servers, an active CCT service failure, hardware, network, or database failure can initiate a switchover.

If the Contact Center Administrator uses the Windows Service Control Manager (SCM) to stop a monitored service on an Active server, a switchover occurs. If the Contact Center Administrator uses the System Control and Monitor Utility (SCMU) to stop a monitored service on an Active server, a switchover does not occur.

Managed IP AddressA Managed IP address is a virtual IP address that is attached to a network adapter on the active server. Each High Availability application server is assigned a static IP address. After the active server in each replication pair is determined, the active server attaches a Managed IP address to the network interface. The Managed IP address is only assigned to the active server and it is used by all other contact center applications and clients to connect to that application. The standby server assumes this same Managed IP address if it takes over processing and becomes the active application. The active server stops using the Managed IP when it stops being the active server.

High Availability UtilityConfigure High Availability resiliency for CCMS and CCT using the High Availability Utility in the Database Utilities. The High Availability Utility is used to configure which server is the active and which is the standby server. The HA utility also configures the Managed IP of the active server.

The High Availability Utility on an Active Server has the following dialogs under the Configuration tab:

• Server Mode

— Configure the IP address for the Active and Standby servers

— Configure the IP address for Trusted servers

— Identify if the server is Active or Standby

— Enable Automatic Switchover

— Configure the switchover time-out. This is the wait time if a network outage occurs before an automatic switchover occurs

• Notifications

— Configure an e-mail server for e-mail notifications

— Configure where and how often to send e-mail notifications

— Configure the e-mail character set

• System

Resolving the Managed name to the Managed IP addressComplete the following procedures for the Active and Standby servers to resolve the Managed server name to the Managed IP address.

Attention: Avaya Aura® Contact Center High Availability solutions do not support Windows Server 2008 Dynamic DNS.

Ask your Domain Administrator to add a Domain Name System (DNS) static entry for the Active and Standby servers and one additional DNS static entry for each Managed name and associated Managed IP address.

Page 296: AACC CS1000 Deployment Guide

High Availability – Standby co-resident server commissioning

296 NN44400-803 Contact Center Avaya Communication Server 1000 Deployment Guide 06 April 2012

A typical High Availability campus solution with a pair of co-resident servers requires three DNS static entries; one DNS static entry for the active server, one DNS static entry for the standby server, and one DNS static entry for the Managed name and associated IP address.

Perform this procedure for both the Active and Standby servers.

Procedure stepsStep Action

1 Ask your Domain Administrator to add a Domain Name System (DNS) static entry for the Active and Standby servers and one additional DNS static entry for each Managed name and associated Managed IP address.

Configuring service monitoring on the Active ServerThe High Availability feature monitors a number of critical services on the Active Server. If these critical services stop or fail, they automatically restart in the correct order. If a critical service fails a defined number of times, the Active Server may, if Switchover is enabled, shut down and hand over processing to the Standby Server.

Critical services are listed, monitored, restarted, and controlled using the Contact Center Configuration tab on the Tasks tab of the High Availability utility. The Contact Center Configuration tab lists the critical CCMS services and all of the CCT services on the co-resident CCMS and CCT server.

There is no requirement to change the data in this table, the default values are suitable for most solutions.

If the services are selected for Monitor and Restart and one or more services fail, either the same or more number of times as the Restart Limit value, then a switchover to the Standby Server occurs.

For switchover to occur, both the Active and the Standby servers must have their respective switchover check box selected, a valid license file, and shadowing must be running. If the switchover is not enabled, then all internal monitoring counters are reset and the monitoring restarts.

The Restart Threshold is the time period within when the services are monitored and the counters are increased when services fail. When this threshold is met, the counters are reset to zero, monitoring restarts, and the restart threshold timer resets.

Procedure stepsStep Action

1 Log on to the active co-resident server.

2 Choose Start, All Programs, Avaya, Contact Center, Database Utilities, High Availability.

3 In the High Availability window, in the left pane, expand the Tasks folder.

High Availability – Standby Multimedia server software installation

This chapter describes how to install contact center server software on the standby Contact Center Multimedia (CCMM) server. High Availability supports standby resiliency for CCMM in your Avaya Aura® Contact Center solution.

Avaya recommends creating an administration account on the server and then installing Avaya Aura® Contact Center using the account. This account must have full administrative privileges. You must not delete the account. If you delete the account used to install the server software, Avaya Aura® Contact Center stops working.

You can configure this CCMM server as a standby CCMM. The standby CCMM takes over contact processing and becomes the active CCMM if the active CCMM fails. This standby CCMM provides High Availability redundancy and resiliency.

You must install the standby applications exactly the same as the active applications. The standby and active servers must have the same patch level and the same hard disk drive partitions.

The Contact Center High Availability feature supports Contact Center Multimedia co-resident with Contact Center Manager Server, Contact Center License Manager, Server Utility, Contact Center Manager Administration, and Communication Control Toolkit.

Prerequisites to CCMM standby software installation• Understand the configuration of the active server software in your contact center.

• If you use e-mail in your contact center, install and configure an inbound e-mail and an outbound e-mail server in your network.

• Ensure you have a Standby Server license for CCMM.

Attention: For the system to correctly handle backup and restore SNMP events, you must install Windows SNMP Service before you install Contact Center software.

• Install Contact Center Manager Server, Contact Center License Manager, Server Utility, and Contact Center Manager Administration software in your network.

• You must install the standby applications the same as the active applications. The standby and active servers must have the same patch level and the same hard disk drive partitions.

High Availability – Standby Multimedia server commissioning

This section describes how to configure High Availability (HA) resiliency on a pair of standalone Contact Center Multimedia (CCMM) servers in a campus contact center solution.

High Availability CCMM commissioning overviewIn a High Availability Campus server configuration, one CCMM server is the active server and one is the standby server. The active CCMM server actively processes contacts. The standby server shadows the active server. The standby server copies all configuration changes made on the active server and monitors the active server status. If the active CCMM server fails, the standby CCMM server, running in standby mode, recognizes the failure and starts processing contacts. The active and standby CCMM servers are part of the same contact center and they must be in the same subnet IP address range for campus High Availability resiliency to work.

You must configure the standby CCMM server the same as the active server. The standby and active servers must have the same patch level and the same hard disk drive partitions. Configuration changes made to the active CCMM server during normal operation are automatically copied to the standby server so that the standby server can take over processing from the active server when necessary.

In a campus solution, a CCMM hardware, network, or database failure can initiate a switchover but only if:

• The switchover check box on both CCMM servers is selected.

• The standby CCMM server is shadowing the active server.

• A valid license file containing standby server license information for CCMM exists to allow switchover.

Managed IP AddressA Managed IP (MIP) address is a virtual IP address that is attached to a network adapter on the active server. Each Avaya Aura® Contact Center application server is assigned a static IP address. After the active server in each replication pair is determined, the active server attaches a Managed IP address to its network interface. The Managed IP address is assigned only to the active server and it is used by all other Contact Center applications and clients to connect to that application. The standby server assumes this same Managed IP address only if it takes over processing and becomes the active application. The active server stops using the Managed IP when it stops being the active server.

High Availability – Standby Multimedia server commissioning

350 NN44400-803 Contact Center Avaya Communication Server 1000 Deployment Guide 06 April 2012

High Availability UtilityHigh Availability resiliency for Contact Center Multimedia is configured using the High Availability Utility in the Database Utilities. Use the High Availability Utility to configure which server is the active and which is the standby server. The HA utility also configures the Managed IP of the active server.

— Configure an e-mail server to allow for e-mail notifications

— Configure where and how often to send e-mail notifications

— Configure the e-mail character set

• System

— Display information on the system status

— Verify that shadowing is running

The High Availability utility on an Active Server has the following dialogs under the Tasks tab:

• CC Applications

— Start or stop the system

— Enable or disable CC applications

— Enable or disable switchover on the CC applications

— Display system information

• CC Configuration

— Monitor application service status

— Define which application services to be stopped or started

— Configure how often a service to be restarted before switching over to the standby server

Resolving the Managed name to the Managed IP addressComplete the following procedures for the Active and Standby servers to resolve the Managed server name to the Managed IP address.

Attention: Avaya Aura® Contact Center High Availability solutions do not support Windows Server 2008 Dynamic DNS.

Ask your Domain Administrator to add a Domain Name System (DNS) static entry for the Active and Standby servers and one additional DNS static entry for each Managed name and associated Managed IP address.

A typical High Availability campus solution with a pair of co-resident servers requires three DNS static entries; one DNS static entry for the active server, one DNS static entry for the standby server, and one DNS static entry for the Managed name and associated IP address.

Perform this procedure for both the Active and Standby servers.

Procedure stepsStep Action

1 Ask your Domain Administrator to add a Domain Name System (DNS) static entry for the Active and Standby servers and one additional DNS static entry for each Managed name and associated Managed IP address.

--End--

Procedure job aidThe following DNS window shows the three static entries in the thewest.com domain. The active (primary) server - hostname CCMULTIMONE with an IP address 172.18.116.43. The standby (secondary) server - hostname CCMULTIMTWO with an IP address 172.18.116.31. The Managed name and Managed IP - CCMULTIM and 172.18.116.37.

High Availability – Agent Desktop testingAvaya Aura® Agent Desktop (AAAD) supports High Availability for fault tolerant and resilient contact center solutions. In High Availability contact centers, Avaya Aura® Agent Desktop connects to multiple Avaya Aura® Contact Center servers. If one of the Contact Center servers fails or is shut down for maintenance, your Agent Desktop software switches over to the remaining Contact Center servers and continues working.

In certain scenarios for this Hot-standby High Availability solution, which are outlined in this section, agents are logged out from Agent Desktop. Agents continue to handle customer phone calls on their deskphone without interruption. The Agent Desktop multimedia contacts list refreshes during a server switchover and this causes a short delay before new multimedia contacts arrive. Multimedia contacts in progress when a switchover occurs are not affected; however agents are logged out in certain scenarios.

Force a High Availability switchover by disconnecting the network cable of the Active co-resident CCMS and CCT server.

Uninstalling the Agent Desktop client softwareUninstall the existing Agent Desktop client software from the client computer. In Contact Center HA solutions, you must uninstall the Agent Desktop client software downloaded directly from the original Contact Center Multimedia server. You must then download the Agent Desktop client software from the Managed IP or Managed Name of the CCMM HA pair. This ensures Agent Desktop - High Availability support and future software updates.

How to reinstate High Availability after a switchoverIn campus solutions, if the Active server fails, the Standby server starts processing contacts. The initially Active server is now stopped, and the High Availability - Enable Switchover option is disabled. The Standby server becomes the Active server and it continues to process contacts. The High Availability SMTP feature sends an e-mail to the Contact Center Administrator informing them about the switchover. The Active server has no corresponding Standby server at this point, and the solution is no longer resilient.

When the root cause of the failure has been addressed the Contact Center Administrator may reinstate High Availability resiliency using the following procedure.

After the switchover, the Standby server is now the current Active server. The following tables list the current Active server details used in this worked example.

Co-resident server details after a switchover:

High Availability troubleshootingTroubleshooting High Availability must be done to address errors that occur when active servers do not switch over as expected or when the standby server fails to shadow the active server.

The Windows events log contains extensive High Availability diagnostic information.

High Availability troubleshooting

410 NN44400-803 Contact Center Avaya Communication Server 1000 Deployment Guide 06 April 2012

Troubleshooting when shadowing fails to startYou must backup the active server database, restore it on to the standby server, and enable shadowing within 24 hours. If the difference in time between the active and standby server database content is greater than 24 hours then database shadowing does not work. If shadowing is stopped for more than 24 hours then you must backup the active server database and restore it on to the standby server before re-enabling shadowing. Ensure that the system clock time on the active and standby servers are synchronized.

Procedure stepsStep Action

1 Use the Database Maintenance utility to make a new backup of the active server database.

2 Use the Database Maintenance utility to restore the database to the standby server.

3 Re-commission High Availability on the standby server.

4 Use the High Availability utility to enable shadowing.

--End--

Troubleshooting when services fail to startThe active and standby servers use a Trusted IP address to verify network connectivity. If the active server cannot communicate with the standby server it attempts to communicate with the Trusted IP address.

In Hot-standby and Warm-standby High Availability solutions, if the active server cannot communicate with the Trusted IP address on startup then no Avaya Aura® Contact Center services start on that server.

Avaya recommends that you use the IP address of some part of your IT infrastructure, that is always available to respond to a ping request, as the Trusted IP address.

Procedure stepsStep Action

1 Verify the active and standby servers can communicate with the Trusted IP address.

--End--

NN44400-803 Contact Center Avaya Communication Server 1000 Deployment Guide 06 April 2012 411

High Availability troubleshooting

Troubleshooting shadowing failuresTroubleshoot when the standby server does not shadow the active server. The standby set of Avaya Aura® Contact Center applications monitors and shadows the active applications in the system and does not process calls. The standby CCMS monitors the active CCMS. The standby CCT monitors the active CCT. The standby CCMM monitors the active CCMM. Each active and standby pair of applications forms a resilient or replication pair. If any of the active applications fail, the standby applications recognize the failure and start processing contacts.

Procedure stepsStep Action

1 Verify that the standby server is installed exactly the same as the active server. The standby and active servers must have the exact same patch level and the same hard disk drive partitions.

2 Verify that the Cache service is running on the standby server.

3 Verify that you have installed a Standby Server license to enable High Availability.

4 Verify that the standby server can communicate with the active server by name and IP address.

5 Verify that you can ping the Managed IP address of the active server from the standby server and from a client computer.

6 Verify that the static IP address of the active and standby servers are configured correctly in the High Availability configuration utility.

7 Ensure that the standby server is configured exactly the same as the active server. Backup the active server database and restore this database on to the standby server.

8 Verify that both the active and standby servers can ping the Trusted IP address.

9 Examine the Windows Event Viewer on the active and standby servers for High Availability, network, or Contact Center-related error messages.

--End--

Troubleshooting switch-over failureTroubleshoot when the active server does not switch over to the standby server. Each active and standby pair of applications forms a resilient or replication pair. If any of the active applications fail, the standby applications recognize the failure and start processing contacts.

Attention: In a campus co-resident CCMS and CCT solution, only a CCMS service failure, hardware, network, or database failure can initiate a switchover. A CCT service failure does not initiate an automatic switchover, CCT simply restarts itself.

Procedure stepsStep Action

1 Verify that the standby server can shadow the active server.

2 Verify that the switchover check box on both servers is selected.

3 Verify that the standby server is installed exactly the same as the active server. The standby and active servers must have the exact same patch level and the same hard disk drive partitions.

4 Verify that you have installed a Standby Server license to enable High Availability.

5 Verify that the standby server can communicate with the active server by name and IP address.

6 Verify that you can ping the Managed IP address of the active server from the standby server and from a client computer.

7 Verify that the static IP address of the active and standby servers are configured correctly in the High Availability configuration utility.

8 Ensure that the standby server is configured exactly the same as the active server. Backup the active server database and restore this database on to the standby server.

9 Verify that both the active and standby servers can ping the Trusted IP address.

10 Examine the Windows Event Viewer on the active and standby servers for High Availability, network, or Contact Center related error messages.

--End--

Troubleshooting active server resourcesAvaya Communication Server 1000 resources acquired by the CCMS are not deacquired at the time of a failure, and the login state of voice agents is maintained when the backup CCMS comes online. This means that in the event of a CCMS outage, there is no need for agents to cycle their voice login state. The standby CCMS starts up and shows the correct state of every agent’s voice terminal as they were at the time of the active CCMS outage. There is no impact to calls that are in progress between a customer and an agent,

CCMS does not deacquire Avaya Communication Server 1000 resources when stopped by the High Availability utility therefore caution must be exercised when starting a CCMS in a High Availability environment to ensure the Avaya Communication Server 1000 resources are available to it.

CCMS de-acquires Avaya Communication Server 1000 resources when stopped by the System Control and Monitor Utility (SCMU).
