TMSAgent

[equinox198]

Question:

Does the VCSe need to have the TMSAgent run or is that not good.  Also, if so, when do you need that to run on that system.

I'm taking in PAIVITS1 and the teach won't answer this as he says this in part two of the class which I have later.  Just curious.

Thanks in advance.

The only time the VCS-E would have TMSAgent on it is if the FindMe key or Device Provisioning key is loaded.  However the Device Provisioning key is not supported on the VCS-E, so it should not be loaded ever.

Thanks!!

The reason I ask was that I have it under TMS and I'm getting these alerts saying that I need TMSAgent and all this stuff.  I clear them, but it doesn't go away.  I didn't have it running there, but I was wonder how to get rid of it.

I'm running an old code on the TMS 13.1.2 which we will be upgrading this Winter.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Hi,

Does your VCS have Provisioning option key installed? If yes, if you don't need Provisioning, you can simply delete this option key from VCS. So TMS will understand that VCS do not support TMS Agent.

Also, you can disable TMS Agent service in TMS.

The Device Provisioning option key *IS* supported in the VCS Expressway. Provisioning on the Expressway is normally not seen, as it is usally on the Control. I have seen Provisioning used on the Expressway before for Movi registration authentication (when not using NTLM - Active Directory). This type of design would need some special consideration as it would require manually removing the SIP routes that are added to point provisioning and phonebook requests to the provisioning service.

It is really true. This is an example of a setup like that:

Zac,

Thanks for the correction, I was not aware of that.  The last I heard was that DevProv is not available for the VCS-E.  I figured this was not supported as you cannot specify DevProv as an option when you order a VCS-E.

You can retrieve provisioning license for VCSe by seding a request to Cisco Global License Operation team.
