Known Issues
The following known issues affect version 112 of the Cisco: CUCM Cisco Unified Communications Manager PowerPack:
- Changes in the CUCM platform combined with a high volume of monitoring requests may result in issues with the CUCM Tomcat service. Refer to Cisco bugs "CSCvz16646" and "CSCvz68936" for more information.
- Workarounds include restarting the Tomcat service on the CUCM Publisher, and disabling unneeded CUCM dynamic applications to reduce the number of incoming requests.
NOTE: Changes to this PowerPack will be made to circumvent these issues and further throttling of requests by CUCM in the future.
- If you attempt to discover a CUCM cluster whose servers have been cloned from a separate CUCM cluster that has also been discovered within the same SL1 stack, the "Cisco: CUCM Subscriber Merge" Dynamic Application may incorrectly attempt to merge subscriber devices with components in another DCM tree. To avoid this, you must manually merge the subscriber server devices with their associated component devices in the correct cluster.
NOTE: The physical device of the CUCM Publisher should not be merged with its associated component device.
