[cisco-voip] Call for opinions; 6.1.3 or 6.1.4?

Wed Sep 2 09:01:09 EDT 2009

Hi all:

Version 6.1.4 has a bug with Unicast MOH. This functionality does not work properly.

CSCta10219 Unicast Music on Hold May Not Play.

After you invoke music on hold (MOH) several times, unicast MOH may not play. MOH can be invoked by using hold, transfer, conference, park, and so on. 

Workaround - Option 1 

Upgrade to a version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager that contains a fix for this issue. 

Workaround - Option 2 

Configure the MOH servers to send out multicast MOH and unicast MOH on the same MOH resources. 

Procedure 

________________________________

Step 1  Configure each MOH audio source ID for multicast. 

Step 2 Configure each MOH server to multicast. 

Step 3 Make sure that Media Resource Groups (if any are defined) do not have multicast enabled. 

Be aware that no network (router) changes to forward multicast MOH packets are required if Media Resource Groups (MRG) are not configured to enable multicast MOH. 

________________________________

Note  The MOH servers transmit multicast streams for each MOH source and MOH codec, so network traffic to the local network may increase. The multicast streams will remain continuous and run at all times.

The MOH servers send the multicast streams to the local router; but, if the rounter is not configured to forward the MOH multicast packets, impact to the LAN traffic will be minimal. By default, routers do not forward multicast MOH packets. 

I don’t know if in 6.1(4)SU1 <http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/ImageList.x?relVer=6.1%284%29SU1&mdfid=281023410&sftType=Unified+Communications+Manager+Updates&optPlat=&nodecount=2&edesignator=null&modelName=Cisco+Unified+Communications+Manager+Version+6.1&treeMdfId=278875240&treeName=Voice+and+Unified+Communications&modifmdfid=null&imname=&hybrid=Y&imst=N&lr=Y>  version this bug was solved.

Best regards

Hernan

If I were specifically going for a particular fix and nothing else, i would prefer the "minimal set" to try and minimize the risk of introducing a new bug or problem. That said, if I had a problem and TAC told me I had to upgrade to 6.1.4, I wouldn't be upset about it.. just wouldn't be my preference. I would grouse about it later if I ran into a new bug ;)

As far as the original post, if it's a new install/upgrade from 4 or 5, I would probably load 6.1.4. That said, we're on 6.1.3 right now and don't plan on upgrading any further in that 6.x train, next upgrade will be 7.x most likely for a time of day routing with unified mobility.

IMHO this is very critical. If you come to me for support I cannot give you a "minimal set" change between where you are and where the fix is available.  You are going to get all of the changes from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4 in addition to any new fix that is tailored to your environment.  I may be a bit biased as my business leads me to expect things to be broken.  To that end it appears prudent to get as close as possible to any patches that may be necessary.

I would very much like to hear the positions of others.

Ah, yes, that's another way to look at it. As each dot.dot release is released, the previous likely gets shelved for development.

6.1(3) is "done" meaning no more ES will be built for it. If you upgrade  to 6.1.3 and encounter a serious issue Cisco will require you to upgrade to 6.1.4 or an engineering special of 6.1.4 to get a fix.

net: 6.1(4) is the "best" place to be currently.

I believe 6.1.4  fixes the Denial of Service vulnerabilities recently reported.

Not easy, but necessary. Even taking a look at SEV 1/2 bugs should be enough. Also, my understanding is that ES's are no longer what ES's were in the days of 3.x and 4.x (possibly 5.x). They're not built for individual customers like they used to be, but essentially, they are what service packs used to be. Granted they're not published for some reason.

meh, thats easy to do. Looking more for opinions and anecdotes. 

Would most people install an ES without having a specific reason for 
doing so?

	Which one is more stable? 

	CUCM 6.1.3 or 6.1.4?
