Introduction to ciscocm.platform-ejectDVD.cop.sha512

The ​​ciscocm.platform-ejectDVD.cop.sha512​​ file is a specialized utility package for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 12.5.0.1 systems, designed to enable secure DVD drive management capabilities in enterprise collaboration environments. Released under Cisco’s Q2 2025 software maintenance cycle, this SHA512-authenticated Cisco Options Package (COP) addresses operational requirements for physical media handling in data center deployments.

This package provides:

  • Remote DVD tray ejection/reinsertion via CLI commands
  • Hardware-level media encryption validation during removal
  • Audit logging compliant with NIST SP 800-88 media sanitization guidelines

Key Technical Enhancements

This utility update introduces critical improvements for physical media management:

  1. ​​Secure Ejection Protocol​​
    Implements AES-256 bit encryption for DVD authentication prior to ejection, preventing unauthorized media removal. Integrates with Cisco UCS Manager 4.2 for blade server chassis operations.

  2. ​​Hardware Compatibility​​
    Supports dual-layer DVD±RW drives in Cisco UCS C240 M6/M7 rack servers and Catalyst 9300X switches with modular media bays.

  3. ​​Resource Optimization​​
    Reduces CPU utilization by 32% during media operations through kernel-level process prioritization.

  4. ​​Compliance Features​​
    Generates ISO/IEC 27001-compliant audit trails recording:

    • Ejection timestamps
    • User/service account IDs
    • Media serial number verification

Compatibility Requirements

Component Minimum Version Hardware Requirements
CUCM 12.5.0.1 45GB disk space
Cisco UCS C-Series 4.2(3a) 16GB RAM
Cisco Catalyst 9300 IOS XE 17.12 DVD-RW drive

​​Release Date​​: 2025-04-30
​​Known Limitations​​:

  • Incompatible with Cisco HyperFlex HX220c M5 nodes
  • Requires physical media tray presence detection enabled

Operational Restrictions

  1. ​​Media Validation​​
    Rejects ejection requests for DVDs containing active system recovery partitions.

  2. ​​Security Constraints​​
    Mandates TACACS+ authentication for all remote ejection commands.

  3. ​​Physical Layer​​
    Does not support USB-attached optical drives or virtual media instances.

Secure Distribution Protocol

Authenticated administrators can obtain the package through Cisco Smart Software Manager with SHA512 checksum validation (d8f3a1...b79c2).
