[cisco-voip] 8865s and MRA CUCM registration failover issue

Phone are setup using sip profile to refresh registration every 120 seconds
by default . You should see expressway pass these to cucm servers every 120
seconds from the phone.

I would recommend you to turn up expressway logs to see if the phone is
sending sip register to Cucm 1 ,  cucm 2 and cucm 3 .

I had tested with two cucm subscribers in a group but not with a third one.
