sip cme tftp-path bootflash

[leam2]

Hello.

I am setting up SIP-CME.

I get errors when I run the following command:

(config-register-global)# tftp-path flash:
%Error deleting flash:/its/SIPDefault.cnf (No such file or directory)
%Error deleting flash:/its/syncinfo.xml (No such file or directory)
%Error deleting flash:/its/softkeyDefault.xml (No such file or directory)
%Error deleting flash:/its/softkeyDefault_kpml.xml (No such file or directory)
%Error deleting flash:/its/featurePolicyDefault.xml (No such file or directory)
%Error deleting flash:/its/jabber-config.xml (No such file or directory)

Actually the "its" directory is under "bootflash:", not under "flash:".
But running the following command fails:

(config-register-global)# tftp-path bootflash:
Aborted: invalid tftp path

The system image file is under "bootflash:" not "flash:" on this ISR4331:

# show version
Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 03.16.04b.S - Extended Support Release
Cisco IOS Software, ISR Software (X86_64_LINUX_IOSD-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.5(3)S4b, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
[...]
ROM: IOS-XE ROMMON
[...]
System image file is "bootflash:isr4300-universalk9.03.16.04b.S.155-3.S4b-ext.SPA.bin"

Please help. Thank you.

Hello.

I get these messages on the (wireless) phone CP_8821 screen (Settings -> Admin settings -> Status -> Status messages).

File not found : XMLDefault.cnf.xml
File not found : SEP501CB03A7082.cnf.xml
Not trust list installed
TFTP error: AppDialRules.cml

The phone got its IP address from the DHCP server which is running on a Cisco ISR4331.

Really, why is it about "bootflash:" on my ISR4331 whereas it about "flash:" in CUCME configuration and pretty much everywhere there is something readable about setting up CUCME?

How can I configure CUCME on this ISR4331 if I cannot have the files that CUCME and the phones need on "flash:"?

Can I change the fact that everything is about "bootflash:" on this ISR4331 and not about "flash:"?

Thanks.

Hello.

The following table provides a list of file systems that can be seen on the Cisco 4000 series routers.
Table 1  Router File Systems
File / System Description

bootflash: / Boot flash memory file system.
flash:  / Alias to the boot flash memory file system above

Source: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/access/4400/software/configuration/guide/isr4400swcfg/bm_isr_4400_sw_config_guide_chapter_0101.html

Does this mean that I can run:

(config-register-global)# tftp-path flash:

and this will be an alias for:

(config-register-global)# tftp-path bootflash:

And so I don't have to worry about the ISR4331 system image file being on "bootflash:" rather than "flash:"?

And so why is the phone failing to register with the CUCME?

Boot flash is a directory within the flash. You cannot reference the directory either in telephony or voice register global. It has to be "flash" always.
Next the "Error deleting" errors. You can ignore them. When you changed the directory, the system tried to move some files to the new directory but since the files were not already present, it throws that error.

Now coming to your actual phone registration issue, what is the CME version in use ? Do you have voice register dn/pool configured ?

[leam2]

Hello.
Thank you for your answer.
The CME version is 10.5.
I have declared DNs and pools.
The phones managed to register themselves to the CUCME.
I think it's because I had to re-run the "create profile" command.
I think I ran it too early, before I had the DNs and pools configured.

Absolutely. You have to do a create profile/create cnf depending upon whether you have SIP CME or SCCP. You do that after the configuration has been done. Think of it is a "Configuration Save" option which builds your XML files and pushes new config to already existing config files.
