In order to overcome this issue, complete these steps:

1. Reboot the Voice Media Streaming Application. Stop and start the IP Voice Media Streaming Application in the Control Center.

   Refer to Control Center for more information on how to start and stop various Cisco CallManager services.

2. Reset the MoH server.

   Refer to the Resetting a Music On Hold Server section of Music On Hold Server Configuration for information on how to reset the MoH server.

Problem: MOH Server does not get Registered

After you upgrade from Cisco CallManager 4.1(3) to Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(2), the MOH server is not registered with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.

Solution

This isssue can occur when the Run Flag parameter under the MoH Server Configuration page is set as No. Set the Run Flag to No on the MoH server in order to disable MoH.

In order to resolve this issue, go to the Cisco Unified CM Administration page and choose Media Resources > Music on Hold Server and set the Run Flag to Yes.
