CUCM Cluster restarting Precautions

[mrfcisco1]

Hi, We are using CUCM 7.0(1 Pub and 1 Sub and unity server ) and MGCP gateway 3900 series. We need to restart CUCM cluster for date and time changings.. after restarting the cluster will everything come back  to operational state automatically including MGCP gateway ? Is there anything else i have to keep in mind before restarting ??   Please help me on this..Thank you !!

It should "just work". Just make sure you reboot the pub first.

Hi Shalu,

I'm going with my friend Gordon here (+5 G-Man!)

I believe the "best practice' would be to restart in this order;

1. Publisher (wait for all services to come back up)

2. Subscriber(s)  (wait for all services to come back up)

3.TFTP Servers

from cli;

utils system restart

We've done this many,many times without any issues with our PRI's coming back up, but if

you ever have a problem with them issue these two global commands in sequence on the MGCP gateway

    no mgcp

    mgcp
