I'm sure I've read about this somewhere here before, but what happens if you do the following:
1.Keep SCN enabled
2.Setup VMPro locally for each site
3.COnfigure each site with it's own VMPro IP in manager
4.Remove any existing accounts on the "Centralized(original)" server that belong on the "other side"
While I'm sure this isn't supported, couldn't it work? I'd imagine there could be lots of pitfalls though, and the potential for some unexpected behavior...
I may have to set this up in the lab just for fun!
I have 4 or 5 sites running like this without issue. I have spoken off the record with a number of people at Avaya and have been told it will not cause issues if you have each site set to its own VM and not broadcast. one of the avaya guys has installed this a few times without issue and we have not had any problems with ours. THe only issue we have seen is you can not forward messages between sites. Avaya will never support it but it has not caused any issues yet. Sometimes you have to support what a bad sales person sells.
If it works then would I be able to downgrade to split the 8 Port into two 4 Port Voicemail Pro server. Plus i would just purchase another dongle for the 2nd server.
your not going to be able to slit them. you have 2 different types of licenses. You have VMPRO with 4ports then you have VM additional ports. they are different. one gives you the ability to run the server and the other gives you just more ports. I am nit sure what country you are in but i think for VMpro with 4ports it is like $1999.00 retail.
You can't take licenses off one dongle to put on another. IT doesn't matter what the licenses are.
Licenses are just a sring of alpha numerics, Avaya can't stop you using it once you kno what the string is.
If you really want to do this. buy a second dongle and get a VM Pro license (and any others you need) and keep the 1st site as an 8 port.
If you do as DJ Rabin says, I would imagine you would have to do this any time you reboot any of the VM servers as VM creates any mailboxes it doesn't already have on reboot.
