<p class="MsoNormal">The way I read the advisory, is that this is a “happens only if” scenario, namely:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>“Cisco has identified an issue where, after a successful VMware Tools upgrade, the initramfs image located in the boot partition is corrupted in varying degrees. This corruption of the initramfs image does not lead to a VMware Tools
upgrade failure and the Unified Communications application continues to operate without exhibiting any issues. However, the next time the server node is rebooted for any reason the Linux BootLoader fails to load the initramfs image, which prevents the OS from
booting back up.”<o:p></o:p></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I rebooted my lab cluster without an issue does that mean it’s safe to say, even though it’s running the affected version, it was not affected by this bug?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We had our upgrade completed by a partner – so I’m not sure if they upgraded the VMware tools after the initial CUCM upgrades were done or if it’s running the stock tools. I’m guessing no tools upgrade was done, so we’re not actually affected?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I don’t know enough about the virtualization world to know if there are files I can see without having to take down a VM, i.e. can I look at this initramfs image?<o:p></o:p></p>
