only two options come to mind:
1) archiving and parsing SDI traces
2) a CTI app that monitors phones

Personally I'd do #1.

I suspect there is also a way to glean this from CDR/CMR records as well. One 
of the CDR vendors may have more information.

I have a request to see if it's possible to find out who has placed calls on

We are looking at changing our Hold music, and my boss is interested in getting 
a better idea of the audiences who end up listening to Hold music, which we 
could get from knowing who is placing calls on hold.

This can include calls who end up hearing hold music due to Transfers or 
anything else.

Anyone happen to know how to get those logs?  I tried looking at some 
information online, but I'm not seeing a good answer.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252"

A few things sound slightly off here. First and foremost running CUCM 8.6.2 
base.  8.6.2 included a CTI re-architecture that significantly impacted UCCE 
and UCCX integrations. The good news was increased CTI performance but with the 
clause "when it worked". There are numerous discussions on this mailer about 
those defects. Best to get to the latest 8.6.2SU at least.

I'm fuzzy on cluster over the WAN details but when last I looked the supported 
RTT was insufficient to go coast to coast. Is this within spec?

And finally logins when one node is offline. That should generally work. I 
believe UCCX has a dependency to primarily point to the publisher CUCM server 
and if that goes offline or becomes unreachable then trouble ensues.

Great job testing before deployment. Best to open a TAC case and work through 
this pre-production.

Regards,
Wes

All,
 
We have implemented a new CUCM 8.6(2) Cluster (1 pub, 2 subs), UCCX 8.5(1)SU3, 
and CUPS 8.5(4) cluster for a greenfield move from an old CUCM 6.1(2) setup.  
One publisher and subscriber are located at our HQ (West Coast) office and the 
second subscriber is located in our DR (East Coast) office.  The new cluster is 
configured for Active Directory LDAP integration and everything is working 
fantastic?.
 
? until we took the subscriber in our DR location (East Coast) offline to do DR 
testing.  Phones that were registered to this subscriber re-registered with our 
HQ (West Coast) office without problem.  However, we have run into a few issues.
 
1.       UCCX Agents are having issues logging into the UCCX server even when 
they are in the same physical location.  I found a few bugs relating to slow 
LDAP login however they show as resolved.  Eventually some agents are able to 
log in, however there have been a few that still cannot get logged in.  Those 
UCCX agents that were logged in when the subscriber went down are working fine 
and didn?t notice anything
2.       All of the servers seem to be sluggish in regards to login?s.  It is 
taking upwards of 20-30 seconds to log into the administration pages and browse 
between functions.
 
I suspect that when we bring the Subscriber server back online the problem will 
be resolved.  This is a clean cluster, all current on patches, very clean 
configuration, running on physically MCS servers that are properly sized. 
However, we can?t have the inability for agents to log in as well as lose the 
ability to administer the system if this was to happen.  In this situation it?s 
controlled, but I?m worried about ones that are not (hardware failure, software 
crash, etc.).
 
Can someone provide some insight into what might be going on?
 
Sincerely,

I had some interesting feedback from my SE after he discussed our UC on UCS 
requirements with his support network. Basically, the feedback was, rather than 
two UCS C260s, I should get four UCS 240s. This was to provide maximum 
hardware/software redundancy and maximum performance. 

While I understand the additional hardware/software redundancy, I'm not 100% 
convinced about the maximum performance. I mean we read through the 
requirements on the wiki, ensured we had the required CPUs for each 
application, and there was quite a bit of harddisk, cpu and memory to spare. 
I'd rather minimize the amount of time managing the hardware and also reduce 
costs as much as possible. 

I understand the C240s are the new M3 specs, and the C260s are the older M2 
specs, but I'm guessing those too will be updated soon. 

What sort of feedback are others getting who are investigating UC on UCS chasis 
servers?

Thanks Terry. That would be great. 

While I understand there are doc based specs and real life, I'm a little 
concerned with the push to multiple chassis. There's quite a bit of overheard 
per chassis, including the additional VMware license and support costs. If 
there are concerns with running too many apps on one box, why don't they list 
that anywhere in the specs, i.e. for every 5 servers, reserve one free CPU, or 
something like that. They do that with the Unity Connection spec, so it's easy 
to do it with others. 

Anyways, I'll wait to hear back.

We are just starting to look at upgrading from HP hardware to UC on UCS so will 
forward our supports ?recommendations? once they arrive. Currently they are 
just getting the stats together but should have something in 2 weeks but am 
curious to see how they match up to your supports recommendations.

I had a similar problem a few months ago and rebooting the phones fixed it.? 
Don?t know what caused it but it was for all 7912?s only.

Bit of an odd one here, hopefully someone else has come across it.
?
Moved Cisco 7912's? from a CCM 4.1 cluster to a CUCM 6.1 cluster. Phone was 
fine. We had an issue with DHCP scopes last week and all the phones rebooted 
and since then 2 of the 7912's that were moved do not have either the 
4.Services option or the 5.Help option when you goto the Application menu.
A quick google found something about a 4k memory limit on the 7912 and it could 
be losing part of the XML config but that was a bug (CSCeg35909) that was fixed 
back in 4.1.3 SR1 so I have no idea whats going on...
?
Here is the device info from one of? the phones
