Voicemail Not Picking Up

406v2 on 4.1.95011 (patched last week to try and resolve issue)
VM Server on 4.1.27


Older site I had upgraded to a new 406v2(403 previously)

They have Voicemail Pro running on XP, that I recently changed over to 2K3 to try and fix this issue.

The issue is simple, after so long, could be 20 minutes, could be 1 day, the voicemail service is still started, but won't pickup. Callers will hear busy/dead-air.

This wasn't an issue until we upgraded them from a 403 and 3.0 to a 406v2 and 4.1

To fix the issue, I have to restart the Voicemail Pro Service. The licenses show valid. I have an incoming call route pointed to Voicemail to test, and when they are experiencing this issue, the call doesn't even show up in System Status.

Any ideas?
 
BTW. They have 8 VM Ports. It shows congestion count of 24, even though I know they haven't maxed out these ports.

I believe there was a Tech Bullentin on VM Ports locking up. But, I have changed the setting in regards to call waiting. I have also tried to installed 4.0.18 with the patch, and the issue still occurs.
 
When the calls are not showing up in SSA, what happens when a user checks voicemail?
 
They get dead air. Sometimes it's dead air that eventually turns into a busy signal.
 
Sure sounds like the problem that the patch you have addresses. However in the cases of this I have had to deal with, restarting the service would not help, only a reboot of the IPO helped. The only other thing that come to mind is make sure there are no IP address conflicts because I have seen this same problem when that happens.
 
I thought for sure the patch would fix it. Then I thought for sure that moving the VMServer to a 2k3 box would fix it. Actually since moving it to 2k3, it's been happening a lot more often.

I'm actually waiting until it happens again, so I can watch monitor and see what it says when they dial *17. Even when it's not working, System Status shows they have 8 ports of VM available.

The XP Box and the 2K3 box it was on both have static IP addresses, and the DHCP addresses are in a different range.(on the same subnet)
 
The Tech Bulletin says the patch along with upgrading the VM Pro to 4.1.26 is one of the options for the fix. Well, I have 4.1.27, I wasn't aware there was a .26

?
 
Here is what monitor says after this issue starts happening.. This is a random problem, and I just had it happen at another one of my sites after a merged config. It had never happened there before until Friday.

I think the DbgOut.txt file may be more informational.
Do you have th program DbgOut.exe? This enables you to see very detailed what is going on inside VM Pro and it may shine a light on your problem.
You can find more info here:

NIHIL NOVI SUB SOLE
 
Many times when I have issues like this it turns out to be corrupt users. Does it happen consistantly on a particular user?
 
i will check out dbgout, thanks.

also.. i have tried a complete rebuild from scratch also, thinking it might have just been corruption, but it still happens after the rebuild. unfortunately I cannot recreate the issue at will, so I am forced to wait until it breaks to gather more information. and its always ok over the weekend.
 
Thing showing up in system status are delayed. If you watch monitor you will see things instantly. Whith pots lines for instace with CID, you won't see the call in SSA until the CID is recieved. I found this out when trouble shooting a PRI problem. The call would be rejected right away and SSA would show nothing so I assumed it was not hitting the IPO but when monitor was opened you could see the call.

I think the trace above is late in the call, I would like to see the whole call.
 
Ok here you go

To me.. It seems as if the 406 is losing its connection to the VM Pro Service for some reason. I do not know what the catalyst that causes this is, but a simple restart of the service fixes it, albeit temporarily. Right now it's been fine all weekend. Last time it went down was around 10:30am on Friday. But that was the 3rd time since 7am Friday morning it happened.


 
I am pretty sure there is no connection with the vmserver

That is why it does not work
Check your settings in the system tab
Check the ipadres in it and on the server
Check your licenses

See, that's the problem. It acts like it forgets where VM is at.

VM Server is statically set at .40, the IP Office is .41 also set statically.
Licenses are valid, have always shown valid.
VM Tab is set to PC, with the .40 address in there.

I have 6 other sites with this same exact setup, with no issues. Although like I mentioned in a post earlier, my NJ site had this same issue happen once on Friday after a merge config. First and only time it has ever happened there.
 
Run the voicemail pro services as local and interact with desktop.
Run it and when you get the issue see if in the log out put it shows as running unlicensed. The thing is it wont show until the lics have been invalid for 2 hours.

Also check PC CPU is not maxing out and killing the VM services (I have seen this before)
Also the addresses its not possible some thing else is powering up with either the .40 or .41 address.

A list of some things to check.

Have already started the services to interact with desktop, waiting for it to break again to see what it says.

One thing to note is that Thursday night, I unistalled the VM Server on the .40 box, and installed it on .11 which is one of our application servers. The issue still occurred after installing voicemail on a completely different machine. The new machine was windows 2k3, and not XP like .40 was.

Also, I find it unlikely something else is starting up with .40 address. There is DHCP on the network, but the scope starts at .100 All servers and the IPO are always statically set at .40/.41 at every office. Printers are .50's etc. IP Addressing is pretty clean and uniform at every office.
 
Try to connect your voicemail pc straight on the ipoffice (if that is not the case)
It could be a blocked port (50791)
