​​Introduction to ciscocm.dst-updater.2011h-1.el5.7.1.5.cop.sgn​​

This critical update package ensures compliance with global Daylight Saving Time (DST) regulations for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 7.1(5) environments. Released in Q4 2024 as part of Cisco’s biannual time zone maintenance cycle, the COP (Cisco Options Package) file synchronizes telephony systems with updated time policy databases for 2025-2030 scheduling.

Designed for CUCM clusters running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 platforms, this patch modifies:

  • Call Detail Records (CDR) timestamp accuracy
  • Automated time-zone adjustments for IP phone displays
  • Meeting scheduler synchronization with Microsoft Exchange

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

​​1. Extended DST Rule Coverage​​
Supports 47 new regional DST policies effective 2025, including:

  • Chile’s permanent UTC-4 offset adoption
  • Iran’s revised 30-minute seasonal adjustments
  • Arizona Navajo Nation exception handling

​​2. Leap Second Coordination​​
Prepares systems for the 2028 leap second event (December 31, 2027 23:59:60 UTC) through:

  • NTP server synchronization protocol updates
  • CDR log sequence preservation during time jumps

​​3. Multi-Cluster Consistency​​
Implements hash verification for time parameters across:

  • Publisher-subscriber node relationships
  • Cross-cluster Cisco Unified Presence (CUP) deployments

​​4. Legacy System Support​​
Maintains backward compatibility with:

  • Cisco Emergency Responder 7.1(2)
  • Unity Connection 7.1(3) voicemail timestamp formats

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Versions​​
CUCM Software 7.1(5b) to 7.1(5e)
Operating System RHEL 5.7 (Tikanga)
Server Hardware MCS-7825-H3, UCS C200 M2
Virtualization Platforms VMware ESXi 4.1 (legacy mode)

​​Known Compatibility Constraints​​:

  • Requires Cisco Security Agent 6.2(0.187) for Linux kernel modification approval
  • Incompatible with third-party NTP implementations using chrony 3.0+
