Fixing high-availability failover condition in Cisco CUP 10.5

When Cisco Unified IM and Presence servers are in a high availability enabled subcluster, the high availability can go into failover / failed over when one of the servers goes down or is rebooted. If this happens, you can't assign any new users to the subcluster without either bringing high availability back up, or disabling high availability for the server that is still working.

If you thought that this setting was in the CUP server admin pages, you'd be wrong. As I found here, you have to go into CUCM admin page to change this. It's under System > Presence Redundancy Groups. Click find, click on your subcluster, and Enable High Availability is there as a simple checkbox. Turn HA off and then back on again to get it back into a good state.

Jabber 9 and 10.5 error: Starting a feature set failed and Incorrect Username or Password

If you encounter this error in Jabber 10.5:
Starting a feature set failed
or this error in Jabber 9.3 or higher:
Incorrect Username or Password
when trying to sign in to Jabber using CUCM and CUPS (as opposed to Webex), and your typed password is actually correct, you may have a problem with your CUPS server and/or not have this user assigned to a presence server.

Test/verify:
To verify this is the problem,  try manual sign-in to CUCM (phone features only). If you can sign in to phone features, your problem is with CUPS. Make sure you have assigned this end user to a CUPS server and that the CUPS server is in a good state.
