Wes,
That is exactly what we are seeing. See below


admin:run sql select count(*) as count,origcause_value from car:tbl_billing_data where origcause_value not in (0,16,126,128,393216,458752) group by origcause_value order by count asc
count origcause_value
===== ===============
1     87
1     34
1     111
3     38
3     63
4     27
5     102
5     95
6     17
10    50
29    18
74    47
150   41
admin:run sql select count(*) as count,destcause_value from car:tbl_billing_data where destcause_value not in (0,16,126,128,393216,458752) group by destcause_value order by count asc
count destcause_value
===== ===============
1     19
2     34
4     111
7     17

It is possible. It seems a little less likely.  CM is involved in call setup and then largely out of the picture.

I can imagine a way that server performance would impact an active call:
* call is setup between h.323 gateway and sccp phone
* media is directly between phone and gateway
* keepalives still occur on the signaling channels between phone and cm and gw and cm
* server performance degrades so keepalives are dropped or otherwise not processed
* phone or gateway signaling session aborts
* because it is h.323 call preservation is disabled by default. When the signaling session aborts the call is dropped.

This would appear in CDR's with cause codes in the 40's range like 41 and 47.

here is a sample of CDR aggregation from a cluster that experienced this exact issue:

+--------------------+-----------------+----------+
| destdevicename     | destcause_value | count(*) |
+--------------------+-----------------+----------+
| ICT-Development    |              41 |        6 |
| ICT-site1          |              41 |       74 |
| ICT-site1          |              47 |     2351 |
| ICT-site2          |              41 |        3 |

In this case packets were dropping in the WAN between this site and site1.

Regards,
Wes

Cheers Wes and Kiran,
On a possibly related note our Publisher server has started popping up Virtual Memory errors as copied below


Available virtual memory below 30 Percent.
tomcat (884 MB) uses most of the memory.

Could this be related? Is it something major that needs to be sorted?
Cheers,
DT

Hi,
We are getting calls disconnected mid-call on random handsets in our CUCM 6.1 cluster( 1 pub 2 subs), actually it seems to be phones on one particular subscriber that are experiencing the issue but that might be a red herring. The users say it is happening on all types of calls but we are trying to get more detailed info from them atm.

Does anyone have any ideas how can I start to track this down? Please be as basic as possible so I can understand :-)
Many thanks,
