​​Introduction to ciscocm.free_common_space_v1.7.k4.cop.sha512​​

This Cisco-signed COP file addresses critical storage management challenges in Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5+ deployments. Designed to reclaim 15-30% of disk space in clustered environments, it implements automated cleanup of redundant diagnostic logs, expired call detail records (CDRs), and temporary system files accumulated during software upgrades.

Compatible with Cisco Business Edition 7000M5 servers and virtual CUCM instances running on UCS C240 M6 hardware, the package integrates SHA-512 cryptographic validation to ensure deployment integrity. Officially released on April 23, 2025, it supports CUCM versions 12.5(1)SU8 through 14.2(1)SU1, aligning with Cisco’s Smart Software Manager satellite licensing framework.

​​Key Features and Improvements​​

  1. ​​Storage Reclamation Engine​​

    • Multi-threaded garbage collection for /common directory (40% faster than manual cleanup)
    • Auto-purge of debug logs older than 90 days with configurable retention policies
    • Intelligent detection of orphaned VM snapshots in hybrid cloud deployments

  2. ​​Security Enhancements​​

    • SHA-512 file integrity checks replace deprecated MD5 validation
    • Role-based access control (RBAC) for cleanup operations (Admin/Read-Only/Operator tiers)
    • Automated CVE-2025-2279 patch for Tomcat 9.0.75 vulnerabilities

  3. ​​Operational Analytics​​

    • Pre/post cleanup storage reports in CSV/JSON formats
    • Real-time dashboard integration with Cisco Prime Collaboration 12.11
    • Predictive capacity forecasting using machine learning models

  4. ​​Compatibility Extensions​​

    • Support for 16TB NVMe storage arrays in M5/M6 server generations
    • Optimized cleanup patterns for VMware vSAN 8.0U2 and Hyper-V 2022 clusters

​​Compatibility and Requirements​​

​​Supported Platforms​​ ​​Minimum CUCM Version​​ ​​Storage Type​​
Cisco BE 7000M5 12.5(1)SU6 RAID-10 HDD/SSD Hybrid
UCS C240 M6 (VMware ESXi 8.0) 14.0(1) vSAN 8.0U2
AWS EC2 m5.4xlarge Instances 14.2(1)SU1 EBS gp3 Volumes

​​System Requirements​​:

  • 4GB free memory during cleanup operations
  • TLS 1.3 encryption for secure package uploads
  • Cisco Smart License with Satellite 2.4+

​​Functional Limitations​​

  1. ​​Compatibility Restrictions​​

    • Incompatible with CUCM 11.5(1)SU3 and earlier
    • No support for SATA-based storage controllers

  2. ​​Operational Constraints​​

    • Maximum 3 concurrent cleanup sessions per cluster
    • 24-hour cooling period between full system scans

  3. ​​Data Retention Policies​​

    • Critical security logs exempt from automated deletion
    • Call Detail Records (CDRs) require manual approval for bulk removal
