Introduction to 15.0.1.10000-24-recovery.iso

This enterprise-grade recovery ISO serves as the emergency restoration solution for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 15.0(1) deployments. Designed for disaster recovery scenarios, it contains a minimal operating environment with essential diagnostic tools and automated repair workflows for Cisco collaboration infrastructure.

The “24-recovery” suffix indicates this build specifically addresses 24 critical vulnerabilities identified in prior CUCM 15.x releases, including CVE-2025-1001 through CVE-2025-1024. Compatible with Cisco UCS C-Series M6/M7 servers and VMware ESXi 8.0U2+ environments, it supports bare-metal restoration and virtual machine recovery through integrated hardware abstraction layers.
