Related Documentation
The documentation that supports Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.1 resides at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/tsd_products_support_series_home.htmlLimitations and Restrictions
A recommendation of compatible software releases that have been verified by the test for customers represents a major deliverable of the Cisco Unified Communications System testing. The recommendations, which are not exclusive, represent an addition to interoperability recommendations for each individual voice application or voice infrastructure product.
For a list of software and firmware versions of IP telephony components that were tested for interoperability with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1 as part of Unified Communications System Release 6.1 testing, see http://www.cisco.com/go/unified-techinfo.
For a list of software and firmware versions of contact center components that were tested for interoperability with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1 as part of Unified Communications System Release 6.1 testing, see http://tools.cisco.com/ITDIT/vtgsca/.
Be aware that the release of Cisco IP telephony products does not always coincide with Cisco Unified Communications Manager releases. If a product does not meet the compatibility testing requirements with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, you need to wait until a compatible version of the product becomes available before you can upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1a). For the most current compatibility combinations and defects that are associated with other Cisco Unified Communications products, refer to the documentation that is associated with those products.

Cisco Recommendations
Cisco offers the following recommendations.
Installation Note
Do not install Cisco Unified Communications Manager in a large Class A or Class B subnet that contains a large number of devices. When you install Cisco Unified Communications Manager in a large subnet with a large number devices in that subnet, the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) table can fill up quickly (maximum 1024 entries, by default).
When the ARP table gets full, Cisco Unified Communications Manager can have difficulty talking to endpoints and cannot add more phones.
Out of Service Nodes and Cisco License Manager
Symptom
After an upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager Release 5.1.2 to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1), apply the 6.x software license. Restart CUCM services on all nodes. Cisco Unified Communications Manager and all services start, except Cisco License Manager. Attempts to manually restart Cisco License Manager are not successful.
Workaround
If dummy nodes exist in the cluster, you should map the IP addresses of the dummy nodes to the hostnames in the DNS server. If you do not Cisco Unified Communications Manager generates alarms that the License Manager service is down.
Reset the Cluster After You Change the Security Password
Servers in a cluster use the Security password to authenticate communication between servers.
To change the Security password, use the set password security CLI command or reset the password from the console.
Step 1
Step 2
Note
Note
Best Practices for Assigning Roles to Serviceability Administrators
Cisco recommends that you configure application users, rather than end users, to access remote nodes to perform such tasks as starting and stopping services. Starting and stopping services requires that the Standard SERVICEABILITY Administration and Standard RealtimeAndTraceCollection roles be assigned.
For Serviceability, the Administrator That is Created During Installation Must Not Be Removed
Removing the Administrator that is created during installation or upgrade can cause communication with remote nodes via Serviceability Administration to fail.
Clarification for Call Park Configuration
Consider the following information when you configure Call Park:
Call Park numbers cannot overlap between Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers. Ensure that each Cisco Unified Communications Manager server has its own unique number range.
Call Park numbers may have an associated partition that restricts access to the Call Park numbers and prevents retrieval of parked calls. If partitions are used to restrict access to Call Park numbers, a unique call park number or range of call park extension numbers must be defined for each partition on each Cisco Unified Communications Manager in the cluster.
When the end user invokes Call Park, Cisco Unified Communications Manager attempts to find an available Call Park number from a Call Park partition that is currently accessible via the calling search space for the party that invoked Call Park.
Connecting to Third-Party Voice Messaging Systems
Administrators can connect third-party voice-messaging systems to Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Ensure the voice-messaging system has a simplified message desk interface (SMDI) that is accessible with a null-modem EIA/TIA-232 cable (and an available serial port). To connect the EIA/TIA-232 cable to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.0 or later, use a Cisco certified serial-to-USB adapter with the part number USB-SERIAL-CA=.
Resetting Database Replication When Reverting To an Older Product Release
If you revert the servers in a cluster to run an older product release, you must manually reset database replication within the cluster. To reset database replication after you revert all the cluster servers to the older product release, enter the CLI command utils dbreplication reset all on the publisher server.
When you switch versions by using Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration or the CLI, you get a message reminding you about the requirement to reset database replication if you are reverting to an older product release. This behavior is also documented in the caveats CSCsl57629 and CSCsl57655.
utils dbreplication clusterreset
This command resets database replication on an entire cluster.
Command Syntax
utils dbreplication clusterreset
Usage Guidelines
Before you run this command, run the command utils dbreplication stop first on all subscribers servers, and then on the publisher server.
Requirements
Command privilege level: 0
Allowed during upgrade: Yes
utils dbreplication dropadmindb
This command drops the Informix syscdr database on any server in the cluster.
Command Syntax
utils dbreplication dropadmindb
Usage Guidelines
You should run this command only if database replication reset or cluster reset fails and replication cannot be restarted.
Requirements
Command privilege level: 0
Allowed during upgrade: Yes
User Account Control Pop-up Window Displays During Installation of RTMT
When you install RTMT on the Microsoft Vista platform, the system displays the User Account Control pop-up window to indicate that an unidentified program wants access to your computer. This occurs because of a limitation in the InstallAnywhere software. This one-time pop-up displays only when installing RTMT. Select Allow to continue.
CiscoTSP Limitations on Windows Vista Platform
Always perform the first-time installation of the CiscoTSP and Cisco Unified Communications Manager TSP Wave Driver on a Vista machine as a fresh install.
If secure connection to Cisco Unified Communications Manager is to be used, turn off the Windows firewall.
If Cisco Unified Communications Manager TSP Wave Driver is used for inbound audio streaming, turn off the Windows firewall.
If Cisco Unified Communications Manager TSP Wave Driver is used for audio streaming, disable all other devices in the "Sound, video and game controllers" group.
Time Required for Disk Mirroring
Disk mirroring on server model 7825 I3 with 160 GB SATA disk drives takes approximately 3 hours.
Disk mirroring on server model 7828 I3 with 250 GB SATA disk drives takes approximately 4 hours.
Cisco Unified Mobility Supports Nine Locales
Cisco Unified Mobility (Mobile Connect and Mobile Voice Access) support a maximum of nine locales, so Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration blocks you from configuring 10 or more locales for Cisco Unified Mobility. In the Mobility Configuration window, more than nine locales can display in the Available Locales pane if they are installed for Cisco Unified Communications Manager, but you can only save nine locales in the Selected Locales pane. If you attempt to configure more than nine locales for Cisco Unified Mobility, the following error message displays: "Update failed. Check constraint (informix.cc_ivruserlocale_orderindex) failed."
Each Remote Destination Supports a Maximum of Two Active Calls
For Cisco Unified Mobility, each remote destination supports a maximum of two active calls via Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Using the enterprise feature access directory number (DID number) to transfer or conference with DTMF counts as one call. When a Cisco Unified Mobility user receives a call while the user has two active calls for the remote destination or while the user is using DTMF to transfer/conference a call from the remote destination, the received call does not reach the remote destination and instead goes to the enterprise voice mail; that is, if Call Forward No Answer (CFNA) is configured or if the call is not answered on a shared line.
Changes to Cisco Extension Mobility After Upgrade
If you chose a user created profile from the Log Out Profile drop-down list on the Phone Configuration window and checked the Enable Extension Mobility check box, the settings in that profile become the permanent settings on the phone after an upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x or Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1a).
RTMT Requirement When Cisco Unified Communications Manager Is Upgraded
If you are running the Cisco Unified Communications Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) client and monitoring performance counters during a Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrade, the performance counters will not update during and after the upgrade. To continue monitoring performance counters accurately after the upgrade completes, you must either reload the RTMT profile or restart the RTMT client.
Changes to Cisco Extension Mobility After Upgrade
If you chose a user created profile from the Log Out Profile drop-down list on the Phone Configuration window and checked the Enable Extension Mobility check box, the settings in that profile become the permanent settings on the phone after an upgrade from Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x or Cisco Unified Communications Manager 5.x to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1a).
Serviceability Session Timeout Not Graceful
When a session has been idle for more than 30 minutes, the Cisco Unified Serviceability user interface allows you to make changes before indicating that the session has timed out and redirecting you to the login window. After you log in again, you may have to repeat those changes. This behavior occurs in the Alarm, Trace, Service Activation, Control Center, and SNMP windows.
Workaround
If you know that the session has been idle for more than 30 minutes, log out using the Logout button before making any changes in the user interface.
Problem Configuring Mobility Identity for Nokia S60 Device in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
The following error message may display in the Phone Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration when you try to configure Mobility Identity for the Nokia S60 device: "Add failed. [10102] Check the type of device specified in fkDevice_DualMode. Remote Destionations other than Dual Mode must use fkDevice_RemoteDestinationTemplate."
The error occurs under one of the following circumstances:

Updating the IP Address in the Server Configuration Window
Before you change the IP address of a server in the Server Configuration window in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, consider the following information:
•
•
•
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_tech_note09186a0080094601.shtml
Serviceability Limitations
When you modify the IP Address field, you cannot access the RTMT profiles, custom counters, custom alerts, and generic queries for Trace & Log Collection Tool (TLC) for that server.
You should manually remove any RTMT profiles, custom counters, custom alerts, and generic queries for Trace and Log Collection Tool (TLC) that were set for the old IP Address. When you modify the IP Address field, you will need to re-create the RTMT profile, custom counters, custom alerts, and generic queries for TLC the next time that you log in to the server on RTMT.
Cisco AMC Service service includes two user-configurable service parameters, Primary Collector and Failover Collector. These service parameters use Host Name/IP Address to designate the primary and failover AMC server. If you change the IP address of the AMC primary collector or failover collector, you should check these service parameters and update them accordingly.
Cisco Serviceability Reporter service includes one user-configurable service parameter, RTMT Reporter Designated Node. This service parameter uses Host Name/IP Address to designate the node on which RTMTReporter runs. If you changed the IP address of the RTMT Reporter Designated Node, you should check this service parameter and update it accordingly.
Deleting Then Adding Back a Server in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration
In Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration, you cannot delete the first node of the cluster, but you can delete subsequent nodes. Before you delete a subsequent node in the Find and List Servers window, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration displays the following message: "You are about to permanently delete one or more servers. This action cannot be undone. Continue?". If you click OK, the server gets deleted from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database and is not available for use.
Tip
If you delete a subsequent node (subscriber) from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration and you want to add it back to the cluster, perform the following procedure:
Tip
Procedure
Step 1
Step 2
Tip
If the first node in the cluster runs 6.1(1a) and a service release (or engineering special), you must choose the Upgrade During Install option when the installation displays the installation options; before you choose this option, ensure that you can access the service release (or engineering special) image on DVD or a remote server. For more information on how to perform an installation, refer to Installing Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1).Step 3
SIP Network/IP Address Field Required for SIP Fallback to SRST Gateway
Although Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration does not list the SIP Network/IP Address field as a required setting, you must configure the SIP Network/IP Address field and the SIP Port field in the SRST Reference Configuration window for a SIP device to fall back to the SRST-enabled gateway. For more information on these fields and SRST references, refer to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
Cisco Unified Reporting Application
The Cisco Unified Reporting web application, which is accessed at the Cisco Unified Communications Manager console or from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Real-Time Monitoring Tool, generates reports for troubleshooting or inspecting cluster data. You can find more information about this application in the Cisco Unified Reporting Administration Guide.
New and Changed Information in Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1x)

Basic Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Integration
When Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.0(1a) runs on an MCS 7825H2 or MCS 7835H2, basic integration to the UPS model APC SmartUPS 1500VA USB and APC 750VA XL USB gets supported. Integration occurs via a single point-to-point Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection. Serial and SNMP connectivity to UPS does not get supported, and the USB connection must be point-to-point (in other words, no USB hubs). Single- and dual-USB UPS models get supported. The feature activates automatically during bootup if a connected UPS gets detected.
Alternatively, on MCS-7835H2, you can execute the show ups CLI command which shows the current status of the USB-connected APC smart-UPS device and starts the monitoring service if it is not already started.
On supported servers, the CLI command also displays detected hardware, detected versions, current power draw, remaining battery runtime, and other relevant status information.
When the feature is activated, graceful shutdown will commence as soon as the low battery threshold is reached. Resumption or fluctuation of power will not interrupt or abort the shutdown.
For unsupported Cisco Unified Communications Manager releases, MCS models and/or UPS vendor/make/models, you can cause an external script to monitor the UPS. When low battery gets detected, you can log on to Cisco Unified Communications Manager by using Secure Shell (SSH), access the CLI, and execute the utils system shutdown command.
