Hi MIr,

go to OS admin and certificate management.

1) Regenerated ipsec.pem certificate on all server.

2) Restarted DRS Master and local on PUB DRS local on all SUB.

Above is not production impacting.

Just a thought :

check if ntp is synchronised by running utils ntp status in Publisher.

Hi Mir,

i have still seen Regenerated ipsec.pem certificate on all server helps a lot of time, and it would not hurt to try that.

Hi mir77ccie

I have the same issue,

Can you clarify the steps for me?

I have to regenerate the ipsec.pem on the publisher, then i need to download it and then I would have to upload it to the publisher as ipsec-trust name and type trust-certs right? But what do I need to delete? also deleting or changing ipsec certificate dont have any impact to the call manager?

Thank you very much, regards!

Thanks. This worked for me, the only issue was the order, I had to restart:

1. DRF Master on PUB

2. DRF Local on PUB

3. DRF Local on SUB.

Hi, Sir
Thanks for your solution, and it works!!
My cucm version is 12.5.1.15900-66.
Procedure 1 that I don't make it.
Procedure 2 that I restart DRS Master, and I found the DRS local is stop.
I start the DRS local and the bakcup is normal.
Additional, I have Pub/Sub, and I must login Cisco Unified Serviceability > Tools > Control Center - Network Services.
It must selects the Pub/Sub to start the DRS local, and the sub only has the DRS local. The Pub has DRS Master and local.
Share to eveybody.
