[cisco-voip] PUT Tool Bootables - what version?

Wed May 15 17:45:03 EDT 2019

The checksum is written to the OS. I’ve heard tell from the old country of a TAC agent using it as a way out of an otherwise entitled case.

If you inject a boot table from a RedHat image into a Redhat image, there isn’t any functional difference.

I would not inject a boot table from a RedHat into a CentOS based image though  ;).

I don't know how true this is, but years ago I was told that when you do an install, that the md5sum of the iso is written out in the install, so that TAC can tell if it's a legit image that is used to do the installation.

However, at least once on a TAC supplied iso that I've gotten a failure on the "check installation media" portion of the install.  When I asked TAC about it, they told me to ignore and proceed with the install.  My guess is that the particular ISO I had didn't have the correct md5 on it.

Others have installed just fine that I've received from them.

Take that for what it's worth.

Btw, you don't need to use Ultra ISO to make an iso bootable, linux tools can do the same thing.  Doesn't cost an Ultra ISO license and you don't have to download the ISO to your desktop and then upload it.  Not always feasible when doing things remotely.  Not that I've ever made an ISO for a customer, just saying :)

I wonder if TAC also gave up - UltraISO'd it themselves and forgot to add Bootable_ :-)

It's not.  And just in case they changed things, I went and downloaded the latest 12.0 and 12.5 of both CUCM and CUC and none of them have the bootable part of the ISO.

Simply renaming a file doesn't make it bootable :)

I had a TAC Call last week, they told me to add BOOTABLE to the name (in front) and that was it. They said all ISO’s are now bootable with the name change…..

Yeah, CUPS has always been bootable.. CUCM/CUC/CER are still not

So, what is the proper way to obtaining bootable iso's now? Let's say a CUCM 11.5 SU6 needs to be reinstalled, and there's no bootable because it was upgraded from an earlier SU. PUT does not have bootable SU6 and neither does Enterprise Agreement. Is TAC the only way to get the bootable for a specific SU? I believe there used to be a time when everyone was advised that TAC is not able to provide bootables?

Same with CUPS if I’m not mistaken.

Plus, UCCX is shipping bootables (filename doesn't reflect it).

Description :

UCCX 12.0(1) image for fresh install and upgrades.

UCSInstall_UCCX_12_0_1_UCOS_12.0.1.10000-24.sgn.iso

Wasn't their excuse with not providing bootables that it was based on Red Hat? It's CentOS now, and still a struggle..

Just wondering what the Put Tool Bootables are at now? We're planning on upgrading to v11.5.1 SU6 due to the field notice and I'd like to have the bootable available.

Otherwise it's opening a case with the TAC, etc.

Is it just a matter of submit request and check the filename?
