<font size="-1"><font face="Trebuchet MS">Hi all,<br>
unfortunately,<br>
i set the time back and then booted.<br>
Then i flashed the BIOS but as soon as the 5.1.3f started, it
downgraded the BIOS back to 1.43!!<br>
No i am thinking of rebuilding using a backup file that i have.<br>
The backup is from 5.1.3f. Shall i install it on the 5.1.3f fresh
installation or the 5.1.3g that included the correct BIOS.<br>
<br>
Or,try install the 5.1.3g on the publisher via the CLI!!!<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<pre wrap="">Sounds like issues I would expect if time were in the past on the server. I agree upgrading the BIOS first will probably save you a ton of headaches.

Before you do anything I'd recommend upgrading the BIOS to get the fix
for the bug and then setting the date back.

Well good morning,
i have not see it coming and now i am facing the bug!
I run 5.1.3f on a 7825I2 server and got the problem after a reboot on
friday!
So, i did what cisco describes, got into BIOS, changed the clock to a
2005 day and the server rebooted correctly(?)
1.I can navigate to the CCM administration page
2. i can access the cli
but,
3.when i navigate to the OS administration, i enter username password
and it does nothing!!
4. also, in the serviceability web page, there are 2 columns missing!!
Start time and UP-time!!
What can i do now?
Shall i proceed to the 5.1.3g upgrade through the CLI or shall i
install my cucm from scratch?
Thanks and kind regards,
Anthony

<pre wrap="">FYI,
Update on this. Working with TAC on this and the MCS-7815-I2 server is
not effected by this issue, and Cisco is in process of updating the
field notice with corrections and more information about the fixes for
the various applications.

<pre wrap="">Does anyone know what version of CER 7.x has the IBM 1.45 BIOS to fix

I ran the newest FWUCD 2.3(1) on a effected IBM Server and it updated
the BIOS from 1.4(3) to version 1.4(5) but when CER booted up it had
forced the BIOS to downgrade back to 1.4(3) and rebooted
automatically
like part of the documentation states for this issue.
I have a TAC Case open. It would be nice if the readme the Field
Notice links to doesn't have the two conflicting sections and also
have something in the field notice so that if you're on a Linux
product that you don't need the firmware CD but you need to upgrade
your CER/CUCM/etc to whatever version of CER/CUCM/etc has the new
BIOS
with fix for this problem.

I have a CER 7.x server I'm needing to apply this to, and have the
CD
but the docs are not clear in some spots and just wanted some
clarification.
Under Section 3, the scope section...
3.5.5 CRITICAL NOTE - This update may NOT be applied to any Linux
based products.
If Linux users attempt the upgrade the BIOS,
the BIOS will be
downgraded after a subsequent reboot. Linux users should
reference
the defect CSCta43460 in bug
toolkit to find the appropriate version to
upgrade to that contains the fix.
But under Section 2.0 for Resolved Caveats it has the following,
which
indicates the above issue is fixed?
Note: If Linux users attempt to use the FWUCD to upgrade the BIOS,
the
BIOS will be downgraded after a subsequent reboot. Linux users
should
reference CSCta43460 in bug toolkit to find the appropriate
version to
upgrade to.
