VG224: FLEXDSPRM-5-OUT_OF_RESOURCES
2012.03.30 - posted in CiscoAfter upgrading a few VG224′s the other day, I noticed that some of the VG’s were not working properly (e.g. no dialtone, unreachable DN’s, etc.). After some investigation I noticed that there were problems concerning the DSP’s in the VG (VG224′s have 3 DSP’s on board as opposed to voicerouters where they are separate modules). The logging showed:
172.16.16.13-20120329.log:2012-03-29T17:15:30.940236+02:00 172.16.16.13 50: .Mar 29 2012 17:15:29: %FLEXDSPRM-5-OUT_OF_RESOURCES: No dsps found either locally or globally.

Also, when reloading a VG, I noticed that the DSP’s did not always come online. In some cases all the DSP’s were down (which would be indicated by the logging above).
Further investigation can be done with the following statements:

HK-0#
When looking at the running config, you might see a statement that points you in the right direction:
HK-0#
! Warning! DSPs 1,2,3 in slot 0 are using non-default firmware from device flash:
! This is not recommended, the IOS default version is 24.3.7
You can also have a look here: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/278921.
To remedy the problem, the best course of action is to contact Cisco TAC and present your findings. TAC will probably provide you with ‘DSP ware’ apropriate for your IOS version AND you DSP hardware (several types of DSP’s exist).
