CUCM: Cleanup TFTP server content. Tool available?

[etamminga]

Hi,

We've been upgrading our CUCM regularly since version 8.6. Every upgrade brings newer phone firmware files. We now have like 7-9 versions of firmware for each type of phone. Our backups are growing and growing and the time it takes to backup increases.

Is there any tool available to delete older phone firmware files from all the TFTP servers?

I know I can delete files manually (one-by-one) but it takes too much time. A tool that would delete all but the latest 2 versions of firmware for each type of phone would be great.

Regards,

Erik

Hi Erik,

There is no Cisco application that i am aware of which would do this. You have to do it manually through the  Web or CLI. Please check the following post

Manish,

Thank you. I'll proceed and write me a tool that does this via CLI. I didn't know CLI had the tftp list/delete features.

Process will be easy:

List all *.loads files

Download all *.loads files via http/tftp

Find all references from the loads files to the actual firmware files

Output CLI delete statements
