How to Fix Call Manager 7.1(3b) or 8.5(1)SU1 DRF Webpage Issues

This week I ran into an interesting issue with Cisco Communications Manager 7.1(3b)SU2 where the Disaster Recovery webpage was either not responding or straight up giving the following error.

After doing some digging I ran into a Cisco Engineer’s favorite thing – a BUG!

CSCtq18270 “DRS page can login but no any response for any menu after RU”

In my case when I tried accessing the webpage it was taking too long to load and never loaded. I tried going to the Backup Device page and this is what I saw there:

Local Agent is not responding. This may be due to Master or Local Agent being down

The fix is actually pretty simple and works like a champ!

  • Log into OS Administration page
  • Security-> Certificate Management-> Find
  • Click on ipsec.pem file and then click on regenerate
  • After the successful generation of the ipsec.pem file, download the newly generated file.
  • Go back to the certificate management page
  • Delete the existing corrupted ipsec-trust entry or entries incase you have more than one.
  • Upload the downloaded ipsec.pem file with the caption ipsec-trust.
  • Restart MA/LA.
This fixed the issue and I was able to perform backups once again!
