UC 8.X: How to retrieve the information for a License MAC

[raziel78kain]

Hello,

we have some UC 8.X appliances (CUCM 8.X, CUCCX 8.X, ...).

Which are the CLI or web commands to retrieve all the the information for their License MACs?

This to have all the data for a new installation in case of a disaster recovery (and to obtain the same License MACs).

Best regards.

Type "show status" from CLI.  You'll see a line states "License MAC".

Dear Michael,

I need to retrieve the information (network, certificate, ...) that have brought to that License MAC.

The License MAC is the is the point of departure, not the arrival...

If your purpose was disaster recoery, you should use DRS instead of re-type those information piece by piece.  One typo could trigger a totally different license MAC.

License MAC is a hash of multiple system attributes like physical MAC, NTP, certificate, etc.  Try to piece those together would be a pain in neck.

When you do the DRS backup, all those information including license will be backed up.

Dear Michael,

what appens if the DRS doesn't work?

Is there a manual way to retrieve all the data (even though it should be possible to make errors during the typing...)?

Regards.

Yes, all those information could be retrieved either from web or from CLI.

For example,

show status

show network eth0

utils ntp status

show web-security

You may find more information from CLI guide.

Dear Michael,

thank you for the answer!

I think that you have missed only one command:

show smtp

but together the commands that you have indicated I can retrieve all the information! :-)

Thanks again and regards.
