[cisco-voip] CUCM engineering special versions

Thu Feb 20 13:04:01 EST 2014

The cleanup is "no sccp/sccp" which drops everything. I wouldn't want to automate that without being really careful there are no active conferences.

Thanks Eric.

It should be easy enough to set up an rsh script to monitor the IOS routers for inactive conference sessions and to clean those up as required. If the frequency gets high, then we'd have to consider the ES.

Cheers,Lelio

Lelio,
The bug we're hitting is CSCum05362. Conference sessions are getting stuck on our ISRs:

#show sccp conn
sess_id    conn_id      stype mode     codec   sport rport ripaddr conn_id_tx

146265514  134359424    conf  inactive UNKNOWN 20026 0     UNKNOWN

Total number of active session(s) 1, and connection(s) 1

It's bad because CUCM thinks there are no active conferences, but this stuck call is consuming a conference session on the ISR. CUCM then may try to start too many conferences on the ISR, causing calls to drop.  The stuck calls don't happen with every conference that's created and I couldn't figure out the exact scenario that's causing it.  If you use hardware conference bridges you may want to monitor them to see if you run into this.

Other than this, we haven't had any problems with 9.1(2)SU1.

Eric

That's good info. Thanks. We're planning on an upgrade at end of April and we did most of our tests with 9.1(2), but we're planning on using 9.1(2)SU1 for the upgrade, since we're rebuilding beginning mid-April. Chances are we'll stick with 9.1(2)SU1 and see what caveats SU2 fixes when it comes out.

Cheers...

Lelio

Lelio,

I’m not sure what the schedule is like but looking at previous SU releases, they usually come out about every 4-5 months.  9.1(2)SU1 came out 12/06/2013 so I’d say there would probably be one coming out around April.

Copying Ryan to see if he knows the target date.

Eric,

The SU version numbers don’t exactly line up with the ES version numbers.

9.1.2.11900-12 (9.1.2 SU1) was actually built off of the 9.1.2.11006-1 Engineering Special so the 9.1.2.11021.1 ES he told you to go to will indeed be a newer release.

Thanks,
Brian

TAC is suggesting we go to CUCM 9.1.2. 11021.1, which is an engineering special, to fix a defect. We're already on 9.1.2 SU1. The version number for this is 9.1.2.11900-12 which is higher than the ES. I thought patches always meant going up in version numbers. Do SU versions work differently than ESs or is the engineer offering the wrong version?

Thanks,
Eric
