When adding a secondary server to an existing primary server,the license key for the secondary server must correspond to the licensekey on the primary server in terms of the number of telephone users andthe number of voice mailboxes. If you are using the default license key onthe primary, the secondary server default key will match. If you havepurchased and installed additional licenses on the primary server, youmust purchase and install matching licenses on the secondary server.Preparation1 Reconfigure the primary VCX Connect server for operation in aprimary/secondary configuration.a Using one of the connection methods outlined in “Accessing aVCX Connect Server” on page 14, access the primary server and login to the root account.b Run the vcx-reconfigure script.Typically, you do not need to change any of the network parameters ofthe primary server.
