Wow!  I had no idea.  Thanks for sharing.

I'm not sure I would have hit this myself for two reasons:

1) I typically don't see a lot of mobile device adoption in my customer base
2) I typically don't see people stressing the limits of their CUCM device
limits.  I deal with a lot of BE6K size deployments, but with endpoints in
the low hundreds.

[cisco-voip] Jabber Bulk Provisioning and CSCur73925

[Pawlowski, Adam]

Hey all,

I ran into this one late last night so I wanted to share.

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCur73925

This bug says : " All jabber mobile devices(BOT/TCT) are created statically at 
the time of system start up, so they are counted toward Max Registered Device 
limit. Same as gateway configuration.

This is confusing to customers because it does not line up with what they see 
as registered devices. "

Notable here is "System Startup". I changed cert chains for the AddTrust root 
expiry and restarted the CM service which triggered this. CM nodes with 5000 
max registrations suddenly had 0 devices registered per RTMT, no alarm, and 
nothing would register. Jabber log shows a 503 Service Unavailable to the 
REGISTER with:

Server: Cisco-CUCM11.5
Retry-After: 35
Date: Wed, 27 May 2020 02:50:10 GMT
Warning: 399 sub1234 "Max Configured Devices Registered"

I had to increase the max registrations to get anything to register and come on 
board. I don't know if this is in the documentation, and the bug shows a couple 
dozen cases so I'm not the first to hit this.

The trick is, I bulk provision via AXL for my users, and had recently done this 
to get BOT/TCT up for COVID-19 prep. I wedged 5053 mobile devices in each pool 
that went to these subs which was just over the limit, but, nothing happened 
until CM was restarted. If the server had restarted the same thing would happen 
I would imagine. Since the AXL insert doesn't trigger this, and I believe quick 
user/phone add also uses AXL, there's a chance you could have this waiting to 
bite you as well.

Happy . Wednesday?
