CUC Automated reboots with API?

[jwilson]

Hello.  Is there a way to complete automated Cisco VoS Reboots?  In this case we looking to automate the CUC reboots quarterly but the same would be true next for UCM and other Cisco VoS's as part of a general maintenance plan.

I did some searching but could not find anything. You probably want to ask in the DevNet community. Here is a link to the collaboration management forum.

This should be doable as PCD can restart CVOS systems via tasks that are scheduled. PCD uses PAWS to communicate with the systems it controls. I have not looked, but the best place to start would be to go to DevNet and look for information about PAWS.

You can also do it via SSH. I have done some simple python scripts to pass commands to the CLI, so you could certainly issue a reboot that way. There seems to be some debate as to whether paramiko or netmiko is the best python library to use for that sort of thing.

Thank you to everyone that responded.  I am moving forward with my internal Dev Team based on these responses.
