Reboot and Maintenance schedule - VCS

[paulphilpott1]

What is the Cisco recommended VCS maintenance and reboot schedule for the VCS?

Such as: Is it worth while rebooting these monthly, backups daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly?

Nothing seems to be mentioned within the deployment or admin guides.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Paul,

I am not sure I understnd the question - are you implying that there should be reboot scheduled for each VCS without a reason?

Please clarify more? Are you facing any issues with them VCS's?

Hi Andrey,

To clarify, I was trying to determine if there should be a periodical reboot of the VCS's, if it is required, or can they be left alone indefinitely? What is Cisco's recommendation?

Hi Paul,

no, as far as I know there is no such a recomendations for healthy and fully operational VCS (cluster of VCS's) and it is highly unlikey to find one.

You can keep the VCS's running without having to schedule any "just-in-case" reboot.

In very, very rare ocasions, where TAC finds a problem, like memory leak for instance, you might be advised to do reboot every X days/weeks on the impacted VCS outisde of office hours, until development comes up with fix. But again that is very rare and should be done according to TAC recomendations only.
