Dropped calls on CUCM 6.1 cluster
Hi,
We are getting calls disconnected mid-call on random handsets in our CUCM 6.1 cluster( 1 pub 2 subs), actually it seems to be phones on one particular subscriber that are experiencing the issue but that might be a red herring. The users say it is happening on all types of calls but we are trying to get more detailed info from them atm.

Does anyone have any ideas how can I start to track this down? Please be as basic as possible so I can understand :-)
Many thanks,
DT

Unified Operations Manager 8.7 has a workflow based troubleshooting for
Call failures at individual site(Locations) level. Probably you might
want to look at that. Sample screenshot below

Cheers Wes and Kiran,
On a possibly related note our Publisher server has started popping up Virtual Memory errors as copied below


Available virtual memory below 30 Percent.
tomcat (884 MB) uses most of the memory.

Could this be related? Is it something major that needs to be sorted?
Cheers,
DT

Tomcat has memory leak throughout the ccm rev’s. Does restarting the tomcat service impact the frequency of dropped calls?

Dennis,
We think so yes. The users were not logging incidents anyway (although typically they cant tell me exactly when they stopped having issues and some are saying they are still having issues although I suspect it might not be the same thing) The restart of the service only dropped the virtual memory usage to 65% from 85% however and now it has crept up again to around 70%.
Am I stuck restarting the tomcat service every other week then? 
Cheers,
DT

Re: Dropped calls on CUCM 6.1 cluster [ In reply to ]
It is possible. It seems a little less likely. CM is involved in call setup and then largely out of the picture.

I can imagine a way that server performance would impact an active call:
* call is setup between h.323 gateway and sccp phone
* media is directly between phone and gateway
* keepalives still occur on the signaling channels between phone and cm and gw and cm
* server performance degrades so keepalives are dropped or otherwise not processed
* phone or gateway signaling session aborts
* because it is h.323 call preservation is disabled by default. When the signaling session aborts the call is dropped.

This would appear in CDR's with cause codes in the 40's range like 41 and 47.

here is a sample of CDR aggregation from a cluster that experienced this exact issue:

+--------------------+-----------------+----------+
| destdevicename | destcause_value | count(*) |
+--------------------+-----------------+----------+
| ICT-Development | 41 | 6 |
| ICT-site1 | 41 | 74 |
| ICT-site1 | 47 | 2351 |
| ICT-site2 | 41 | 3 |

In this case packets were dropping in the WAN between this site and site1.

Wes

or upgrading to get fixes for all of the known memory leaks :-)

you could also harass your account team for a fix to:
CSCsi21579 allow scheduling commands

The ability to schedule a restart would automate the process after hours to ensure uptime during business hours.

Workaround for that for the time being is CatTools. It'll harass you to
buy it but the 'trial' version turns into the free version after 30 days.
In the past I've tested in a lab environment and it worked nicely.

YMMV

Re: Dropped calls on CUCM 6.1 cluster [ In reply to ]
aggregated:
cause count
41 309
47 100
18 29
17 13
50 10
95 5
102 5
111 5
27 4
34 3
38 3
63 3
19 1
87 1

41 and 47 are caused by codec negotiation failure and devices unregistering or losing call control session during call. Also h.245 session for h.323 call failing to establish.
18 = "Connection cannot be completed because the destination does not respond to the call." This sounds like calling a destination that does not have voicemail so the call rings until timeout.
17 = "Called system acknowledges the connection request but is unable to accept the call because all B channels are in use." Typically referred to as "user busy".



it's all down hill from there.


So, now look for patterns in the orig_devicename or dest_devicename for the calls with origcause_value or destcause_value equal to 41 or 47.

Wes

Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] Dropped calls on CUCM 6.1 cluster

It is possible. It seems a little less likely. CM is involved in call setup and then largely out of the picture.

I can imagine a way that server performance would impact an active call:
* call is setup between h.323 gateway and sccp phone
* media is directly between phone and gateway
* keepalives still occur on the signaling channels between phone and cm and gw and cm
* server performance degrades so keepalives are dropped or otherwise not processed
* phone or gateway signaling session aborts
* because it is h.323 call preservation is disabled by default. When the signaling session aborts the call is dropped.

This would appear in CDR's with cause codes in the 40's range like 41 and 47.

here is a sample of CDR aggregation from a cluster that experienced this exact issue:

+--------------------+-----------------+----------+
| destdevicename | destcause_value | count(*) |
+--------------------+-----------------+----------+
| ICT-Development | 41 | 6 |
| ICT-site1 | 41 | 74 |
| ICT-site1 | 47 | 2351 |
| ICT-site2 | 41 | 3 |

In this case packets were dropping in the WAN between this site and site1.

Cheers Wes and Kiran,
On a possibly related note our Publisher server has started popping up Virtual Memory errors as copied below

Available virtual memory below 30 Percent.
tomcat (884 MB) uses most of the memory.

Could this be related? Is it something major that needs to be sorted?
Cheers,
DT

Hi,
We are getting calls disconnected mid-call on random handsets in our CUCM 6.1 cluster( 1 pub 2 subs), actually it seems to be phones on one particular subscriber that are experiencing the issue but that might be a red herring. The users say it is happening on all types of calls but we are trying to get more detailed info from them atm.
Does anyone have any ideas how can I start to track this down? Please be as basic as possible so I can understand :-)
Many thanks,
DT
