Cisco Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 7.0 Notice

This field notice is for customers who have not already encountered a replication issue. We recommend 
that all such customers apply the noted hotfix as a preventative measure.

Due to an issue with the IBM Informix database management system, the sblob_dbspace may get full 
during the replication process and cause the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Application Server to fail. The 
failure will see the Application Server reboot multiple times when attempting to start MeetingPlace 
services, and the services will fail to start when attempting to use the CLI command mpx_sys restart. 
Additionally, output from the CLI command mp_replication status on either node 1 or node 2 may 
show that the connected (remote) server has a very large value in the Queue column.

Cisco has made a hotfix available called sblob_dbspace-fix.sh. The hotfix creates a second database 
chunk (sblob_dbspace2), which is approximately 1GB in size or 20x larger than sblob_dbspace. Once 
applied, the system will automatically start filling sblob_dbspace2 once sblob_dbspace is full.

To apply the hotfix, contact your Cisco TAC representative.
