[cisco-voip] IPMA

Correction, I meant IPMA. Also working with an iSCSI SAN and got my acronyms
crossed...

Does anyone have experience with IPMA and know where I could get some
detailed information. We are a law firm and it looks like it would be
helpful in our environment. However, I cannot find very detailed information
on the subject.



Thank You,

Joe Budz

Hello,

We've had an ongoing problem with the callforward all feature on the phones
ever since we went from ccm 3.x for 4.x. usually it would only happen maybe
once every couple months... while still very annoying we could live with it.
I've probably opened 4 different TAC SR's on it, with little success in
actually fixing it.

Basically we have people who forward their lines to another number or to
voicemail, and then they cannot remove the forwarding, nor can we do it from
CCMadmin.

For some reason the past week i've had it happen almost everyday. The work
around is very easy, just restarting the DBL monitor service on all the
nodes in the cluster fixes the problem. But its still an interuption of
service for alot of departments. I'm going to open yet another TAC case on
it.. but does anyone have any suggestions on a possible cause? I don't
believe we're having a networking problem but i'm open to suggestions.
Currently running ccm 4.1.3sr4d.

I'm convinced that it has to do with the replication of databases and
nothing to do with CallManager version.

Even the dblhelper tool can't illustrate with any confidence that your
databases are in sync. It might work to show you that they are out of sync,
but if you see all smiley faces, don't trust your cat's life on it.

I agree with you.. everytime we have tac involved they want to find a
network problem that is messing up replication, and I can't blame them for
it.. we just cant ever find anything wrong.

I get green happies on DBHelper too.

The ONLY time database replication will cause an issue is when your  
publisher goes away and subs start using their local database.

AT NO OTHER POINT will it cause issues.  This is especially true for  
CFA failures, since if your pub is down CFA is not going to work anyhow.

You may have connectivity issues where DB replication failure is a  
symptom, but it is just that, a symptom (and a pretty minor one at  
that).  If your subs cannot connect to the pub you've got much bigger  
issues than replication.  DBLHelper is nice and all, but all it shows  
you is if your SQL jobs are running (on the replication tab anyway).

I swear a part of my inner troubleshooter dies a little bit every  
time I see somebody bust out DBLHelper as the first step in  
troubleshooting a completely unrelated problem.  "My MOH is broken,  
but DBLHelper says everything is fine!"...  "I put this firewall  
between my CMs and now I can't make any calls between those servers,  
but DBLHelper is all smileys!"

/rant off

If you go searching the archives for this list I've sent several  
emails in the past on how to troubleshoot CFA failures in 4.x.  There  
were some pretty big architectural changes that have exposed some  
issues with change notification.  Thankfully they go away in 5.x.
