Upgrade<br>> completed successfully (took a while but given it was a major jump I<br>> expected that). Everything appeared to be working fine but come<br>> Monday I started getting calls from users who couldn't use the<br>> corporate directory on their phones.

Basic overview of the steps<br>> taken is as follows:<br>> - upgraded pub to 8.6.1. Booted back into 8.0.3 following upgrade.<br>> - upgraded sub to 8.6.1. For some reason, even though I marked not<br>> to boot to the upgraded partition, it booted into 8.6.1.<br>> - booted pub into 8.6.1.<br>> - waited for phones to settle down. Eg from switchback to sub and<br>> firmware upgrades etc.<br>> - updated servers to use dns (previously dns was not set).<br>> - checked that db replication was successful (saw some issues which a<br>> reboot and updating reverse dns entries appeared to fix.)<br>> - 48 hours later installed new tomcat certs which had been signed by<br>> our windows domain CA.<br>> <br>> In troubleshooting the cert issue on the phones, I can see it heads to<br>> the tvs to do a cert verify when it tries to access ssl links and<br>> secured tftp. On the phones I can see it send a request to the tvs<br>> and it lists a certificate serial which I'm assuming it is trying to<br>> verify. The request then fails and the phone fails to load the<br>> cnf.XML etc. If I check the two servers, both have a certificate<br>> which matches the serial listed on the phone when it is requesting the<br>> tvs to check the cert.<br>> <br>> I saw the previus issue with 8.5.1 and the tftp tlv file failing to be<br>> written but it's a different issue to that.
