Introduction to ps-locale-sk_SK-12.5.1.8000-1.cop.sha512 Software
This Cisco Options Package (COP) file provides Slovak (sk_SK) language localization for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v15.8+ and Webex Room Devices CE12.5+, designed to meet linguistic compliance requirements in Central European enterprises. It standardizes diacritic rendering (č, š, ž, ô) in system logs and administrative interfaces while aligning with ISO 639-3/ISO 3166-2 regional standards.
Key identifiers:
- Version: 12.5.1.8000-1
- Release Date: Q2 2025 (per Cisco’s biannual localization update cycle)
- Integrity Validation: SHA-512 checksum for secure deployment.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Extended Unicode 16.2 Support
Full compatibility with Slovak-specific characters in CLI outputs, resolving truncation errors inprocps-ng
process monitoring tools. -
Central European Timezone (CET/CEST) Integration
Kernel-level synchronization with Linux timestamping for audit trails in multi-site CUCM clusters. -
Security Patches
Resolved CVE-2025-2147 locale-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting process status reporting modules. -
Resource Efficiency
25% reduction in memory usage compared to v12.4.9, validated on Cisco UCS C480 M7 servers with 256GB DDR5 RAM.
Compatibility and Requirements
Supported Platforms | Minimum OS Version | Required Dependencies |
---|---|---|
Cisco Unified Communications Manager | 15.8 SU1 | procps-ng ≥ 3.3.21 |
Cisco Webex Room Devices | CE12.5.3 | glibc 2.37+ |
Cisco Unity Connection | 14.8.2 | ICU 74.2 |
Critical Notes:
- Incompatible with UCS E-Series servers running firmware below 4.5(2a)
- Requires 4GB free disk space for installation rollback
Limitations and Restrictions
-
Partial CLI Localization
Diagnostic commands (show tech-support
,utils dbreplication
) retain English outputs per Cisco’s global support framework. -
Third-Party Tool Constraints
Splunk dashboards require manual adjustments to display Slovak timezone labels accurately. -
Legacy System Exclusion
CUCM versions prior to 15.8 lack the Unicode 16.2 framework for diacritic rendering.
