IOS 15 / CME 8.x

Anyone using it in production yet? I have a stack of 2851s that need to go out and am thinking about taking the plunge. Need to test it out a little more but so far all of my templates seem to be fine.

I have around 4-5 customers who have it. The big thing for me is that version 8 has uxxc in a linux sever. Its great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. I haven't had any problems.

We are running IOS 15 on our voice gateways, but we do not use CME in any of our sites.

I didn't even see CME until I read the post above. So let me go back, we have around 1-2 customers that have CME 8. I haven't really had a chance to dig into yet.

I'm going to put CME 8.5 out there - Will report back if I run into any issues/bugs

Minor annoyance number 1 (so far).

I get the following [welcome message] for each ephone config during the initial bulk copy and paste setup (no phones plugged in yet):

Feb 28 16:37:04.223: Can't open file system:/its/vrf1/SEP108CCFA15CAF.cnf.xml for write

After a few messages the paste gets out of whack and starts pasting in partial lines followed by lots of errors. Had to copy and paste each phone in one at a time. The odd thing is, that after I was done pasting in the ephone configs, a “show telephony-service tftp-bindings” proved that the xml config files were actually created! Just seems to be an issue the first time.

Are there any known issues with CME 8.x and CUE 7.x (NM-CUE)?

I've run into a few GUI issues using CME 4,1 (c3725), some config settings don't seem to take when set.

I'm looking at adding a 2811 to the lab. Just wondering if 8.x has any similar issues.

7.0 and 8.0 don't match. You have to be a bit more specific on what version you have.

Check that out. There are quite a a few mis matches. We had people not able to receive voice mail when the version's haven't matched up

Yeah, don't mix them. If you get a 28xx for the lab stick with CME 7.x.

Well, I finally put these guys in place this week and....no problems whatsoever onsite (well, outside of the "typical" carrier and facilities issues but those are to be expected)!

I think that I'm comfortable enough to make the switch to 2900s going forward.
