CPDC or CPMGS
- Thread starter lgjc
- Start date
You cant use the CPDC for the Call Server. Your CPMGS will be your CoRes Call Server and media gateway. It can also be used as a signal server if you like. The CPMGS could be your Primary Security Server and the CPDC could me either a back up or member server.

Thx for the input. This is my first stab since Rls 5.0 so the Security Server and UCM is all new to me. I don't know if I want to redo it all just to make the CPDC the CoRes but the reference in the keycode makes nervous altough everything seems to work!
I have never done a CoRes with a CPDC. I would think though you would want to install it as the keycode is written. It may cause you some grief down the road if you need support. And trust me, on 7.5, you will need support. To make the CPDC the Call Server you will need a USB dongle holder like is on the Call Pilot's. Make sure you have that before you tear it all down. Good luck

The CPDC - Call Processor Dual Core card can be used as a stand alone signaling server, or a co-res signaling server and call server. Just cannot be a stand alone call server. The CPMG is usually all three on one card.
You should have a security dongle on the CPDC card for the call server portion.
It's all linux based now, unless you use the CPPM cards and have a High Availability setup, that is not supported on linux and only supported on the cppm cards.
your call server just runs on a vxworks emulator in a co-res environment, for the call server software (the pbx side if you wish)
I guess you could load the CPMG as a Media Gateway and a signaling sever. Make this your primary security server, your signaling server and your element manager. Then from this you can use deployment manager to deploy your call server and follower signaling server on the cpdc card. You could make the signaling server part of the cpdc a follower signaling server and nrs.
You can check the configurator reports on the order. this would be the excel spreadsheet the sales engineer had after the system was built in the configurator. it should let you know what applications they thought would be built on which server
it sucks because the documentation is somewhat vague when describing the linux base. there is great documentation on how to load the linux base but very little information on how to deploy the different applications.

It will depend on what applications you need to run. If you need NRS + SS + EM + CS then I would do the following.
Build the CPDC as the Primary Security Server, Deployment Server, and deploy the NRS/SM on it. The reason is, is that the CPDC has higher processing power than the CPMG. Should you need to deploy Subscriber Manager later on it can only go on the Primary Security server so would have to undeploy, then redeploy later on. Might make sense to put the NRS and SM in at the same time.
I would then deploy the CPMG as CS + EM. The CPMG is very slow compared to the CPDC, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU PATCH THE LINUX. Because of this I would keep as much processing on the CPDC as possible. You will notice a difference.
