Hi Poly Community,

 

Long time lurker, first time poster.

 

I work for a Poly partner, and have around 9 years experience with traditional Polycom UC Infrastructure.


I have a client that has a CMA5000 that is out of support, and one of their harddrive’s heads have crashed.
They have all of their release/activation codes, however they have lost their CMA v6.0 recovery DVD.
I have run this recovery a number of years ago, so I will be assisting them in getting this back online.

 

I have had a formal support case closed stating that because their unit is out of warranty I can only access the resources online, or reach out to a poly partner (of which I am) to resolve.

 

Issue 1
The download link for the v6 ISO has been removed due to licencing issues:

http://westscm.polycom.com/Product-Files/products/CMA/projects/v6.0.0.ER033/ISO/RD-CMA-v6.00.00.ER03...

Link does not work

 

Issue 2
This 2020 updated knowledge-base article states to ask support for a DVD

Issue 3

The support page doesn't have the ability to request a recovery disk.

 

Issue 4

Poly Support issued the following reply:

Thank you.

As I work for an authorized Poly partner, Is there any chance someone in the community or at Poly has the v6 ISO somewhere or can post out a physical disk?

Kindest Regards,
Adrian.

Hello @Adrian Davis CV 

 

the CMA was a Windows Based application so we cannot just share this. If your company is a Poly reseller you should have access to our support team and acquire the relevant software/Iso that way.

 

Best regards

Hi Steffen,

Thank you for your reply.

 

As per my original post "The download link for the v6 ISO has been removed due to licencing issues:"

This was in reference to the pre-licenced windows server software that exists in the ISO, hence its removal from the regular download area, and the change to request a DVD to be sent out.

The ability to request a DVD has also been removed from the support portal.


I have re-opened the support case in the support portal.

As mentioned in my post, I work for a Poly Partner and the Poly support ticket was closed without a resolution.

 

I'm sure that the support team will indeed be able to resolve this, as I have had amazing support over the past 8 years of dealing with Poly(com) infrastructure support.

 

I will keep this thread updated on the reply as it will be an issue for legacy CMA5000 users.

 

Kindest Regards,

Adrian.
