[cisco-voip] PLM 11.0 issues with CUC 11.5.1 SU3?

[Erick Bergquist]

FWIW,

This is the only paragraph in the CUC 11.5 SU3 release notes.
Encryption is disabled on CUC at moment.

In earlier releases, by default encryption was enabled on Cisco Unity
Connection. However, Unity Connection 11.5(1) SU3 and later allows you
to enable or disable the encryption on restricted version of Cisco
Unity Connection to use the security modules. In Demo Mode, the
encryption is disabled by default. It means you are not allowed to use
the security modules of Cisco Unity Connection in Demo Mode. You can
enable the encryption on Unity Connection only when $0 ENC SKU/license
file is installed on the PLM. To enable or disable the encryption, a
new CLI command utils
cuc encryption is introduced in Unity Connection 11.5(1) SU3 and later.


admin:utils cuc encryption ?
utils cuc encryption [enable | disable | status]
admin:utils cuc encryption status

Encryption Mode: Disabled


I'm not finding much yet on CUCM 11.0 talking to a PLM 11.5 with the
encryption license, if I rehost the licenses to the CUC PLM instance
will CUCM 11.0 sync fine?

Or switch version reboot back to 9.x and upgrade unity to 11.5.1 SU2.
