Just a heads up, Cisco recommendation for CUCM is that NTP stratum should be 3 or better to avoid DB replication issues.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/118718-technote-cucm-00.html “Stratum level should be less than 4 on publisher for optimal performance” CUC documentation isn’t very clear on this specifically - CUC 10x docs mention stratum 9 or better but that sounds wrong IMO. I would follow the same recommendation documented for CUCM (stratum 3 or better) on CUC.

You know what it was - NTP. I shut down the HA. NTP was doing weird things on the primary node and I asked the customer if the NTP server address he gave me was a windows server. Bingo. I changed the NTP source, rebooted the primary, called voicemail and then powered on the HA. Lesson learned. ________________________________ From: ryanh...@outlook.com<mailto:ryanh...@outlook.com> To: amichaelba...@hotmail.com<mailto:amichaelba...@hotmail.com>; cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net> Subject: RE: [cisco-voip] Unity Connection 10.5.2 Split Brain Recovery Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2015 17:25:47 +0000 1.) Shut down the HA node. 2.) Reboot the primary node 3.) Once the primary node is up, place a call into voicemail 4.) Power the HA node back on 5.) Once HA is up, verify HA status.

The primary and secondary keep swapping back and forth every few minutes. I can ping and trace to each server. I restarted the primary but that did not resolve the issue. In the RTMT system logs, the secondary sends an NTP query to the primary the response is the primary is inaccessible or down. I'm stumped. _______________________________________________ cisco-voip mailing list cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net> https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip _______________________________________________ cisco-voip mailing list cisco-voip@puck.nether.net<mailto:cisco-voip@puck.nether.net> https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-voip
