[cisco-voip] CUCM 8.6(2) cluster slowness and UCCX issues when Subscriber goes offline

[Linsemier, Matthew]

All,

We have implemented a new CUCM 8.6(2) Cluster (1 pub, 2 subs), UCCX 8.5(1)SU3, and CUPS 8.5(4) cluster for a greenfield move from an old CUCM 6.1(2) setup.  One publisher and subscriber are located at our HQ (West Coast) office and the second subscriber is located in our DR (East Coast) office.  The new cluster is configured for Active Directory LDAP integration and everything is working fantastic….

… until we took the subscriber in our DR location (East Coast) offline to do DR testing.  Phones that were registered to this subscriber re-registered with our HQ (West Coast) office without problem.  However, we have run into a few issues.


1.       UCCX Agents are having issues logging into the UCCX server even when they are in the same physical location.  I found a few bugs relating to slow LDAP login however they show as resolved.  Eventually some agents are able to log in, however there have been a few that still cannot get logged in.  Those UCCX agents that were logged in when the subscriber went down are working fine and didn’t notice anything

2.       All of the servers seem to be sluggish in regards to login’s.  It is taking upwards of 20-30 seconds to log into the administration pages and browse between functions.

I suspect that when we bring the Subscriber server back online the problem will be resolved.  This is a clean cluster, all current on patches, very clean configuration, running on physically MCS servers that are properly sized. However, we can’t have the inability for agents to log in as well as lose the ability to administer the system if this was to happen.  In this situation it’s controlled, but I’m worried about ones that are not (hardware failure, software crash, etc.).

Can someone provide some insight into what might be going on?

Sincerely,
