Which statement describes the external database requirement for the Cisco IM and Presence permanent group chat feature?
A. All nodes in a Cisco IM and Presence cluster can share a physical external database.
B. All nodes in a Cisco IM and Presence cluster can share a logical external database.
C. Each node in a Cisco IM and Presence cluster must have its own physical external database.
D. Each node in a Cisco IM and Presence cluster must have its own logical external database.
E. An external database is not mandatory.
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
When you configure an external database entry on IM and Presence, you assign the external database to a node, or nodes, in your cluster as follows:
. For the Compliance feature, you require at least one external database per cluster. Depending on your deployment requirements, you can also configure a separate external database per node.
. For the Permanent Group Chat feature, you require a unique external database per node. Configure and assign a unique external database for each node in your cluster.
. If you deploy both the Permanent Group Chat and Compliance features on an IM and Presence node, you can assign the same external database to both features.
I don’t believe “E” is correct answer.
“A temporary group chat doesn’t require any special configuration.”
“A permanent chat room, however, requires an external database.”
“For the permanent group chat, each Cisco Unified CM IM and Presence server in a cluster requires a unique
logical database.”
