NuPoint resiliency with MCD cluster

[V3RTechNP]

Hi guys!

I've been comparing two possible scenarios for a Nupoint resiliency solution with 2 MCDs in a fully synchronised cluster.

-Scenario A-
All NP ports + VM hunt group + HCI hunt group on MCD #1 resilient on MCD #2.
Per example, IP devices 5001-5020 on both systems, HG 5000 on both systems and HCI 5099 on both systems.
Setup all ports (0:0:0-0:0:19) attached to MCD #1 in NP configuration.

-Scenario B-
Half NP ports on MCD #1 and the other half on MCD #2. Local-only VM hunt groups with the same extension number on both systems. Local-only HCI hunt groups with the same extension number on both systems.
Per example, IP devices 5001-5010 on MCD #1 and 5011-5020 on MCD #2.
Setup half ports (0:0:0-0:0:9) attached to MCD #1 and the other half (0:0:10-0:0:20) attached to MCD #2 in NP configuration.

With your experience on the field which scenario is the best and has been proven to be working and reliable? Is there a possible problem that you can foresee with either scenario?

Phones going to fail over to? Not a Nupoint guru but don't think you can split or failover HCI for MWI so you fail over no MWI. Maybe Nupoint 5 addresses that.

I'd tell you a UDP joke but I'm afraid you won't get it. TCP jokes are the best because you always get them.
