Just in case anyone is curious, the cause of our 11.5 IPCC failure was finally 
solved by Cisco TAC.

The license file issued to us after the upgrade did not contain proper 
licensing for outbound dialing.   Because there was no outbound licensing, and 
because the campaign was carried forward by the upgrade from 10.6, it was still 
able to run even though it appeared as if the outbound campaign was not 
installed (you have to have outbound license to even see the outbound campaign 
menu).   When the outbound campaign kicked off, this caused a lock on all of 
the inbound CTI ports which resulted in the busy signals.   Because of the 
severity of this failure scenario, a bug ID was created to track resolution so 
the outbound campaign will check for proper licensing before starting.

The bright side was that my guess as to the source of the failure was correct 
:-)

Subject: UCCX 11.5 Upgrade Disaster

We recently attempted to upgrade UCCX 10.5 -- > 11.5.  The deployment was HA, 
and we didn't see much risk.   The upgrade went fairly smooth, and we hit a 
finesse bug which required the ECDSA COP file.  While minor, it's still not 
mentioned in the release notes.

The real shocker was 4 hours later when the system stopped accepting calls and 
just handed out fast busys.  Failing over to the secondary would fix the issue 
for a few minutes, but then fast busy.

Our entire contact center, which is HA, was entirely down.  Primary down, 
Secondary Down, and TAC was unable to resolve after hours and hours.  It was a 
total unmitigated Cisco disaster.

Rolling back fixed the problem.  And then rolling forward again to 11.5 the 
system worked great again - but only for 4 hours.  Then endless fast busys.  We 
rolled back and are on 10.5 working fine.  But we are at a loss what could be 
causing this problem.  Cisco TAC is in the same boat.

If I had to guess, that seems like more of a licensing failure, because TAC 
even tried replacing our license.   Anyone have a similar experience?

Thanks Greg.
