UCCX Server HDD replacement

Hi all,
I have Cisco MCS-7845-H2 Server running UCCX 8.0, and now one of the HDD failed and red light on.
I bought the new HDD-7845-H2-146= from Cisco and want to replace it, please advise any procedure prior to remove it and insert the new one, according to Cisco website the Server HDD are in RAID 1 configuration, or I can just pull it out and change it online as it suppose to be HOTPLUG.
Thanks in advanced!

The server is running UCCX 8.0 and supporting the call center IP phone system, not able to power down for HDD replacement, anyway when I look at the server again and seen like the fault light went off by itself and the HDD back to normal operation.
Will monitor closely to see whether the HDD fault come back again.
Thanks for your help

How to convert RAW files that saved in UCCX server to wav file?

Hi all,
How we can covert the RAW files that are saved in UCCX server to wav file by using command prompt in UCCX servers. Or is there some other way? So that we should be able to hear the sound of these files.

Hi,
I use Switch File Audio Convertor from NCH Software to do this.
It is a commercial product but there is a time limited evaluation and if you decide to keep it it is only $30.

It is great for converting audio files to the correct format for music on hold as well.

Apple HDD replacement program Q's

Hi guys, sorry if my questions are quite trivial but I'm afraid of messing something up that will require multiple Apple store trips and or money. Long story short I finally decided I'm going to take my iMac to my nearest Apple store to be serviced under the HDD replacement program announced last year.
But I have a few questions about the whole process and how to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible.
1- I undesrtand I have to have a Time Machine back up or HDD Clone. Some people here actually recommend not to use the latest Time Machine back up, But instead doing so from a HDD Clone. Why?
2- I know I'll be erasing the old Drive before taking the iMac for service, what's the best way to do this?
3- Do I need to take my after market bought RAM before taking the Computer for service?
4- For those of you who have already gotten their machines serviced: do they return it with Mountain Lion already installed on it?
5- After getting the machine what will it be the best option, Use Set Up Assistant or Migration Assistant, and will I get accest to that by booting up while holding
the "C" key?

1. My preference is to use a clone. I made a fresh clone; the tech replaced the hard drive; we booted from the clone and cloned the system back - very fast process and your machine will be in the exact same state as it was before.
2. Boot from your new clone (or your install disk) and use Disk Utility to erase your drive (you can't erase the drive you're booted from).
3. No.
4. I had mine done at my home (compliments of Applecare) and instructed the tech to use one of my clones. I've heard differing reports - some say ML was installed, others said that they got it back with the original system. If you have a clone, it does not matter what they install - simply boot from the clone when you get it back, erase the drive, and clone your system back.
5. If you use the clone method, no Migration Assistant is needed.
Edit: If you have a clone on an external drive, you simply plug in the drive, hold the Option key at boot up and choose the clone to boot from. From there, launch CarbonCopyCloner and clone your system back.

UCCX 7 SR5 agent login gives timeout - unable to connect to UCCX server

Team - running high availability. The CAD login for UCCX 7 SR5 gives occasionally timeout errors.
Unable to connect to UCCX server. What is the root cause of this?
on CAD client PC based on Cisco recommendation
C:\Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\config, we changed PhoneDev.cfg.
added ->
[ReqTimeout]
Milliseconds=30000
While this helped it still happens. Is this a bug you have seen?
What could be done for the root cause.

Hello,
This happens because the CAD client software is timing out due to not receiving a response from the UCCX server in the configured and default
10 seconds. Increasing the timeout alleviates the symptom, but the root cause could be slowness or connectivity problems between CUCM and AD. The default timeout between them is 30 seconds. You can check if you have an DC/GC down or not responsive or point your CUCM to authenticate to a local DC/GC, but definitely need to check on the CUCM / AD side.
CSCta49259 CAD client timeout value not present in PhoneDev.cfg
Symptom:
Per MIVR logs CAD side is timing out and changes to the server-side properties did not resolve the issue.
Conditions:
UCCX 7.0(1) CAD
Workaround:
on CAD client PC
C:\Program Files\Cisco\Desktop\config, there should be a file
called PhoneDev.cfg.
add ->
[ReqTimeout]
Milliseconds=30000
save then restart the CAD client .

Migrating server hardware replacement oes11 to oes11sp2

This summer I will be replacing server hardware at one of my schools. Currently it has sles11sp1 / oes11 -- put in in 2012. The patches are up to date for this version, but I have not upgraded/migrated it to a newer version yet. I have played in a test environment with the yast2 wagon migration from sles11sp1/oes11 to sles11sp2/oes11sp1 -- no problems. However trying to find notes on how to do a migration and identity transfer from source server hardware to new target server hardware. Found oes11sp2 migration tool administration guide. I haven't found anything telling me how to setup sles on the target server box ie server name etc. Once I have the target sles server setup, I realize I need to install OES and select the "Novell pre-migration server" option during this installation.
Current source server = sles11sp1/oes11 and has iPrint, Nss and netstorage installed. Installed in tree with oes11 and oes11sp1 servers.
The main tree server has sles11sp2/oes11sp1 on it. We will need to upgrade it to sles11sp3/oes11sp2 this summer. I'm fine with doing the yast2 wagon migration on that server. We just haven't done server hardware replacements for OES-L yet.
Looking for some good (step by step) instructions. ;-)
Thanks
Patty

When I do the identity transfer, I'm assuming it renames the sles11sp3 server from tempfs to testfs as well (as that is where oes gets the file server name from)?
Um, sorta. Let's pretend your server name is: OLD and the new one is NEW (temporary NEW name and temporary NEW IP)
OLD: OES11
NEW: OES11 SP2 (assuming you want latest stuff).
Do all your data transfer/consolidations/etc
Then when you do the ID transfer, it will literally transfer the eDir databases (well copy is more correct) from OLD to NEW, you shut off OLD, I think it restarts NEW and renames/changes the servername and IP to what OLD had.
You can choose to install the NEW server with the .ISO separately (ie: Install SLES11 SP3, then after you're done, Add On the OES11 SP2 .ISO), or you may choose to use the integrated DVD and do it all at once, or use the 2 separate ISO and do them at once (but depending upon your installation method, you may not be able to do the 2 separate ISO).
I hope that helps.
I'm about halfway through editing my docs for OES11 SP1 (of course, SP2 is out now) for migrations from OES2 SP3, but the same setup steps basically apply. I think the only things that changed from NW To OES (ie: OES2 to OES11) are DHCP and iPrint migration procedures.

Server app replacement not detected - how to force?

I just applied the OS X Server 4.1 (I was running 4.0.3 previously) on a 10.10.3 system. But the 'server app replace,emit detected' message has not appeared (even after 10 minutes and 1 reboot for another software update). If I launch 'Server' it still says 4.0.3 in About.
So it seems my server is in some kind of limbo state with a pending server update. How can I force it to recognise the new server app and start the normal migration process?
Chris

Hi Chris,
Put the current server.app in the trash, reboot and download the new server.app 4.1 from your app store recent purchases.
Trashing the app might already give you a replacement message.
That should do the trick.
Goodluck

Old UCCX CSQ's showing in new UCCX server

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with UCCX historical reporting - we're running both an old IPCC server and a new IPCC server simultaneously.
However we have installed the UCCX 7 historical reporting and pointing it to the new UCCX server and now it still seems to pickup old CSQ names that have never been on the new server, somehow they have populated the new server.
My question is how do I remove the old CSQ names from the available parameters when I'm running the reports.
Thanks,
Thomas.

If you did an BARS upgrade then the old queue information will have been pulled across as part of that process.
Most reports have an advanced tab that allows you to filter out unnecessary CSQs.
If that does not suit then I guess you could manually start deleting stuff from the relevent SQL2000 databases - needless to say caution and good backups would be needed here!

Can we change the UCCX server from single node to the first node without affecting it's configurations

Hi all,
Firstly I was using the single CUCM7.0 server with the single UCCX 7.0 server. Now I am going to add the second CUCM and UCCX in the cluster. I was first configured the UCCX server as a single node. Now I have to configure this as a first node. How I could configure this from single node to the first node without affecting it's configurations..??????

Hi Aaron,
How could we do the change on Imhost file. How we add the both servers in that file?
Below is the Imhost file txt.
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
# This is a sample LMHOSTS file used by the Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to computernames
# (NetBIOS) names. Each entry should be kept on an individual line.
# The IP address should be placed in the first column followed by the
# corresponding computername. The address and the computername
# should be separated by at least one space or tab. The "#" character
# is generally used to denote the start of a comment (see the exceptions
# below).
# This file is compatible with Microsoft LAN Manager 2.x TCP/IP lmhosts
# files and offers the following extensions:
#      #PRE
#      #DOM:
#      #INCLUDE
#      #BEGIN_ALTERNATE
#      #END_ALTERNATE
#      \0xnn (non-printing character support)
# Following any entry in the file with the characters "#PRE" will cause
# the entry to be preloaded into the name cache. By default, entries are
# not preloaded, but are parsed only after dynamic name resolution fails.
# Following an entry with the "#DOM:" tag will associate the
# entry with the domain specified by . This affects how the
# browser and logon services behave in TCP/IP environments. To preload
# the host name associated with #DOM entry, it is necessary to also add a
# #PRE to the line. The is always preloaded although it will not
# be shown when the name cache is viewed.
# Specifying "#INCLUDE " will force the RFC NetBIOS (NBT)
# software to seek the specified and parse it as if it were
# local. is generally a UNC-based name, allowing a
# centralized lmhosts file to be maintained on a server.
# It is ALWAYS necessary to provide a mapping for the IP address of the
# server prior to the #INCLUDE. This mapping must use the #PRE directive.
# In addtion the share "public" in the example below must be in the
# LanManServer list of "NullSessionShares" in order for client machines to
# be able to read the lmhosts file successfully. This key is under
# \machine\system\currentcontrolset\services\lanmanserver\parameters\nullsessionshares
# in the registry. Simply add "public" to the list found there.
# The #BEGIN_ and #END_ALTERNATE keywords allow multiple #INCLUDE
# statements to be grouped together. Any single successful include
# will cause the group to succeed.
# Finally, non-printing characters can be embedded in mappings by
# first surrounding the NetBIOS name in quotations, then using the
# \0xnn notation to specify a hex value for a non-printing character.
# The following example illustrates all of these extensions:
# 102.54.94.97     rhino         #PRE #DOM:networking #net group's DC
# 102.54.94.102    "appname \0x14"                    #special app server
# 102.54.94.123    popular            #PRE             #source server
# 102.54.94.117    localsrv           #PRE             #needed for the include
# #BEGIN_ALTERNATE
# #INCLUDE \\localsrv\public\lmhosts
# #INCLUDE \\rhino\public\lmhosts
# #END_ALTERNATE
# In the above example, the "appname" server contains a special
# character in its name, the "popular" and "localsrv" server names are
# preloaded, and the "rhino" server name is specified so it can be used
# to later #INCLUDE a centrally maintained lmhosts file if the "localsrv"
# system is unavailable.
# Note that the whole file is parsed including comments on each lookup,
# so keeping the number of comments to a minimum will improve performance.
# Therefore it is not advisable to simply add lmhosts file entries onto the
# end of this file.

How to restart UCCX Server 8.0.2 SU4

We have a HA UCCX cluster and I need restart the primary and backup. Does anyone know where to go in the UCCX web interface to restart each of these or does it have to be done through the cli?

Hi,
For restarting the engine or any specific subsystem through web interface, please navigate to Cisco Unified CCX Serviceability->Tools ->Network services->Cisco Unified CCX Engine->Susystem Manager
For restarting the enitre UCCX server, Login into your UCCX cli, type the command utils system restart
First restart the Publisher (node1) and after it comes up restart the Subscriber (second node).

Mac Mini Server HDD is corrupt and ...

I was using Disc Utility Repair/Verify on Server HDD to fix issues with the drive and it gave me the following:
Volume Server HDD found corrupt and needs to be repaired. Reformat disc and restore back up files.
This is a Mac Mini model A1347. Every time I start the machine, it opens with the Disc Utility page with the options to use:
Disc Utility
Access the Internet for Help
Download a new version of the OSX
Restore from Time Machine
I have tried all of these options and when I try the suggested fix, it always results in an error preventing the fix. I have most of the files from the Server HDD saved, so if I have to reformat it, it isn't a big deal.
What is my best option?
Thanks
-Mike

IIIaass, I'm sure you are right, and it is something I need to keep an eye on.
I'm hopeful that it is up and running again, but skeptical about it at the same time because it seemed to come around after enough tries.
Though as a novice Mac user, it could be that I finally did everything right instead of haphazardly trying things?
In any event, I'll keep backing up my work and if I start to see anything crazy start up again, I'll know for sure. What should I be looking for prior to the Utilities window cycling over and over?
Thanks again.

Directory created in UCCX server \Program Files\wfavvid\Prompts\user\en_US\ disappears

Hello,
Has anyone experienced this before? In my UCCX server, I have some sub-directories in the folder \Program Files\wfavvid\Prompts\user\en_US\ with prompts. I just restarted the Cisco Unified CCX Engine service, and the directory and prompt files disappeared! I did it again just to make sure (created directory in that path and restarted the service again, and that directory is gone after the service comes back.)
I'm running UCCX Premium 7.0(1)SR05_Build504
Thanks,
-Dave

That's not a bug, it's a feature.
You cannot just go to the Prompts folder on the CCX filesystem and place your prompts there in whatever directory structure you'd like to. CCX will always restore the directory structure which is stored in its database after engine restarts.
You need to use the CCX administrative interface to create prompts dir structure, and upload the prompts there.
If you don't want to go over this hassle, you can also create a directory structure on the file system OFF the CCX Prompts folder, but you'll have to make sure in the scripts you'll have to reference your prompts a little bit differently. Instead of saying P[somedir\someprompt.wav] in the Play Prompt step, you'll have to first do a Create File Document with the full pathname and filename of the prompt file, and then do the Play Prompt step referencing the document created by the previous step. Here is what I use:

Mac Mini Server HDD raid failure help

My server has been running for years, perfectly, most of the time. It is set up as a mirrored raid set.
I noted today that the second HDD is displaying a "failed" red flag in disk utility. I attempted to Rebuild and that failed.
In the FIRsT aid tab Verify returns errors. "This disk needs to be repaired using the Recovery HD..restart control r....etc."
There's my problem. No monitor or keyboard. I'm using screen sharing from an imac.
Is there a way to run the server reboot remotely?
Is it time to purchase a new server or simply replace the faulty drive?
Cheers
Gaz

Hi Chaz,
Is it time to purchase a new server or simply replace the faulty drive?
I think replace the faulty drive is thw answer.

V440 HDD replacement problem

Hi all expert out there,
I had a HDD failure on v440, and the customer want to replace the HDD online without shutdown the server, I use the Solaris command below to unconfigure the disk :-
"#cfgadm -c unconfigure c3::dsk/c3t1d0"
The command executed with no error and then I also use the command to check whether the disk is ready for remover :-
#cfgadm -al
c3::dsk/c3t1d0 unavailable connected unconfigured unknown
Status shown the disk is "unconfigured" but the OK-to-Remove LED still does not lit, I also run the "showenvironment" in the ALOM to check the status.
Disk Status Service OK2RM
HDD0 OK OFF OFF
HDD1 OK OFF OFF
HDD2 OK OFF OFF
HDD3 OK OFF OFF
The status shown OK2RM is off, what should I do now, and anyone has the same problem before, please advise, thanks.

Have you reviewed the V440 Administrative Manual?
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/Servers/Workgroup_Servers/Sun_Fire_V440/index.html
Chapter 6 includes examples of removing mirrored disks as well as removing non-mirrored disks.
Have you used the V440's service contract and opened a support case with Tech Support?
The support engineers in Sun's Storage team would be able to give you guidance.
That's why they're on the payroll.

How to restore a TM backup after HDD replacement?

Hi everybody,
The HDD in my Macbook pro failed, and I am replacing it
MBP July 2011; HDD 500GB 7200 rpm; Mountain Lion.
I have recent Time Machine backups. Now what´s the proper way to restore the backup.
Should I boot up with the not yet formatted new HD and with the TM disk connected
using some key combo?
Or should I boot from the Mountain Lion Install CD and then be able to
format and select the backup drive?
Thanks for reading!
Rob

Thanks Eric,
After inserting the original DVD I installed OSX and after reboot I had a working computer.
There was no opportunity to restore the TM backup. however when I rebooted from the
DVD again I saw that possibility from a menu of the install utility.
I ran through the restore over night (8 hours) and when I woke up, I had my computer back!
Thanks for helping me out.
Cheers, Rob
