TRANSCODING/MTP SHARED BETWEEN CLUSTERS.

[alicia.vega]

Hello. I have read that conference bridges can register with more than one Cisco Unified Communications Manager at a time. Is is possible to register them in different clusters at the same time? Is it the same with Transcoding and MTP hardware resources?

Thanks!

You cannot register the same dspfarm profile to multiple clusters at the same time, you  can build multiple dspfarm profile and have them registered to different CUCM clusters though. Here is a good description:

DSP Farm Profiles

DSP-farm profiles are created to allocate DSP-farm resources. Under the  profile you select the service type (conference, transcode, MTP),  associate an application, and specify service-specific parameters such  as codecs and maximum number of sessions. A DSP-farm profile allows you  to group DSP resources based on the service type. Applications  associated with the profile, such as SCCP, can use the resources  allocated under the profile. You can configure multiple profiles for the  same service, each of which can register with one Cisco Unified  Communications Manager group. The profile ID and service type uniquely  identify a profile, allowing the profile to uniquely map to a  Cisco Unified Communications Manager group that contains a single pool  of Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers.
