Activate Feature Services

You activate and deactivate feature services in the Service Activation window in the serviceability GUI. Services that display in the Service Activation window do not start until you activate them.

You can activate and deactivate only features services (not network services). You may activate or deactivate as many services as you want at the same time. Some feature services depend on other services, and the dependent services get activated before the feature service activates.


Tip


Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service only: Before you activate services in the Service Activation window, review topics related to cluster service activation recommendations.


Procedure
    Step 1   Choose Tools > Service Activation.

    The Service Activation window displays.

    Step 2   Select the server (node) from the Server drop-down list, and then click Go.

    You can access Cisco Unified Communications Manager services from an IM and Presence Service node and vice versa. You may encounter the following error when trying to access a remote node: "Connection to the Server cannot be established (unable to connect to Remote Node)". If this error message appears, see the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide, Release 10.0(1).

    Step 3   Perform one of the following actions to turn on or turn off services:
    1. To turn on the default services required to run on a single server, select Set to Default.
      Note   

      This option selects default services based on the configuration of a single server, and checks for service dependencies.

    2. To turn on all services, check Check All Services.
    3. To turn on a specific service, check the check box for the service that you want to turn on
    4. To turn off a service, uncheck the check box for the services that you want to turn off.
    Step 4   Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service only: For a cluster configuration, review the cluster service activation recommendations, and then check the check boxes next to the services that you want to activate.
    Step 5   After you check the check boxes for the services that you want to activate, click Save.
    Tip   

    To deactivate services that you activated, uncheck the check boxes next to the services that you want to deactivate; then, click Save.

    Tip   

    To obtain the latest status of the services, click the Refresh button.
