Overview

As part of its standard methodology, Cisco Systems performs system-wide testing of Cisco Collaboration components to supplement the product-level testing performed on each Cisco Collaboration product.

A major deliverable of the System Release and Cisco Collaboration Systems testing is a recommendation of compatible software releases that have been verified by the testing teams. The recommendations are not exclusive and are in addition to interoperability recommendations for each of the individual voice application or voice infrastructure products.

For information about component software releases for Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10.5(1), see System Requirements. Software compatibility data for all Cisco Collaboration Systems releases, as well as updated compatibility information for this release, is available from the Cisco Unified Communications Compatibility Tool.

This document focuses on the Contact Center products of Cisco Collaboration Systems testing. Information about collaboration system components that were tested for Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10.5(1) is available at: Click Here

Note

Not all Collaboration System product release versions may be available at the same time. For latest product version availability, see individual product support pages at, Support and Downloads.

This section provides information about system requirements for Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10.5(1) for Contact Center.

- End-of-Sale Components

- Deployment Considerations

- Latest Software Upgrades and Licenses

End-of-Sale Components

The following components have reached end-of-sale (EOS) status but are still supported.

- Cisco Unified IP Phone 6921, 6941, 6945, and 6961, End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Announcement

The EOS date is the last date to order the product through Cisco point-of-sale mechanisms. The product is no longer for sale. Another process, the end-of-life (EOL) cycle, guides the final business operations associated with the product.

The EOL process consists of a series of technical and business milestones and activities that, when completed, make a product obsolete. After a product becomes obsolete, it is not sold, manufactured, improved, repaired, maintained, or supported.

For information about recommended replacements and a comprehensive list of announcements, see Products & Services End-of-Sale and End-of-Life Products.

For information about specific products, go to Click Here . Then click End-of-Sale and End-of-Life and select products or technologies from the lists to the right.

Go to End-of-Life Policy for more information about Cisco's EOL policy.

Deployment Considerations

This section lists deployment considerations for Cisco Collaboration Systems Release 10.5(1). Note that not every rebuild is tested as part of the Cisco Collaboration Systems testing. Therefore, additional regression testing in a customer or Cisco-specific certification lab is recommended before deployment.

When deploying Cisco Collaboration Systems in a customer environment, remember the following:

- At the minimum, customers should deploy the software release recommended in:

Software version matrix

- For CSA, customers should use the latest engine and policy release. CSA software is available at:

Click Here

- For other software components, customers should use the most current rebuild of a maintenance release. For IOS, information about the latest releases, including deferral advisories, is available at:

Click Here

- If the recommended release has been deferred to a subsequent release, customers should use the subsequent release.

- Before deploying a release, examine the open caveats in the chosen release to determine if any will affect your implementation. Open caveats can be viewed through the Bug Search, located at:

Click Here

- Deploy the chosen release in a lab environment that uses the same product components as the customer's product components before moving to a production environment.

Failure to Add Unified CM Cluster for Collaboration Edge with TLS Verify Enabled If Unified CM Shares Certificate

If a Unified Communications Manager cluster is deployed using a multiserver Tomcat certificate, you cannot add the cluster for mobile remote access to a Cisco TelePresence VCS-C/Expressway-C with the TLS verify mode enabled. To add a cluster to the Cisco TelePresence VCS-C/Expressway-C with TLS verify enabled, specify the first node that is mentioned in the Subject Alternative Name (SAN), or change the order of the SAN items making the Unified Communications Manager the first publisher on the SAN list. However, the issue still remains for the IM and Presence Service cluster, and this cluster must be added with TLS verify mode disabled.

Alternatively, you can disable TLS verify mode for both the Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service clusters. This issue is resolved with the release of Cisco TelePresence VCS-C/Expressway-C X8.2.

For details about how to add a Unified Communications Manager cluster to a Cisco TelePresence VCS, see your Cisco TelePresence VCS product documentation.

During Failover Video in Queue Does Not Play and Calls Hang

If Unified CM failover occurs Video in Queue (ViQ) from MediaSense will not play, and all current customer calls registered on same Sub2 will hang.

Inbound SIP IPv6 Calls From CUBE Over UDP Transport

In certain conditions, inbound SIP IPv6 calls from CUBE/SIP Gateway over UDP transport exhibit failures. A workaround for this issue is to change the transport from UDP to TCP in outbound dial-peer of IOS gateway.

For more information, see CsCuo71306.

Call Preservation Not Supported on Cisco VCS in Mobile and Remote Access Deployment

Call preservation does not work when endpoints are registered through the Cisco VCS in a mobile and remote access deployment. If the endpoint loses connectivity to Unified Communications Manager during an active call, the endpoint may not "be aware" that its connection to Unified Communications Manager has gone down, and it does not correctly display that it has entered call preservation mode. For more information, see CSCul67670.

Cisco TelePresence TC Software Does Not Attempt Re-provision When Clustered Cisco VCS-E Fails

Cisco TelePresence TC phones registered using mobile and remote access do not attempt to re-provision when a Cisco VCS-e node in the cluster becomes unreachable. This occurs with the following DNS configuration:

- _collab-edge._tls.domain.com SRV record resolves to another hostname -- for example, "vcs-e.domain.com"

- "vcs-e.domain.com" has multiple A records which resolve to different IP addresses

To avoid this, each _collab-edge SRV record should point to one unique server. For more information, see CSCui25299.

Show Connection Status Not Updated After Unified Communications Manager Failover for Jabber in Mobile and Remote Access Deployment

When Jabber is registered using mobile and remote access, the "Connection status" window shows connected address as the primary Unified Communications Manager, even after a Unified Communications Manager fail-over has happened and the client is actually registered to the secondary Unified Communications Manager. For more information, see CSCuo89949.

Critical Caveats

Critical caveats are intended to address those defects that can adversely impact operations if customers are not aware of the situations and conditions where specific issues can arise.

- Call Hold Failure After Cisco Unified Border Element Failover

Call Hold Failure After Cisco Unified Border Element Failover

A call hold attempt fails after the active Unified Border Element has failed over to standby in High Availability Mode in a Unified CCE/Unified CVP contact center. The caller is dropped when the agent attempts to hold the call, and the call is stale in the CTI-OS agent desktop. The hold attempt results in the following errors:

- Error 20001 Operation failed due to timeout - Please try again

- The Call has failed because of a network interruption

For more information, see CSCtx02390.
