[cisco-voip] Subscriber refusing to join cluster

[Ryan Ratliff]

DNS is not required for CUCM.  That said if you have configured a DNS  
server it is required that the server be able to do a dns reverse  
lookup on itself and every other server in the cluster.   So if  
configure a DNS server during installation, DNS has to be operating  
properly.  If you don't configure a DNS server, then don't worry  
about it as the hosts file on each server should get populated with  
IP address and hostname info during install.

Did you add the subscriber to System->Server on the pub before the  
install?  This is what allows the sub to talk to the pub's database,  
etc.  That error sure sounds like a connectivity issue.

I have run v6 before without DNS, and had no issues.  I cannot locate  
the documentation where DNS is a requirement.   AFAIK, you just need  
to change all IP addresses in the Enterprise Parameters to their IP  
addresses (Cisco's recommendation).

Yip, the are on the same subnet, same 6500 switch. Publisher is x.x.x. 
10 and subscriber x.x.x.11. I see Chris mentioned that DNS is  
required in 6.x. I don't know if this is applicable to 5.x as well. I  
cannot remember that I had to do this the previous time I've done  
this, but will give it a go as soon as I can.

See, that part helps.

OK, are these two on the same subnet? Are they separated by a firewall?
