Budget for cucm upgrade to v8.5

Hello,
Please help me to find out the budget for an upgrade.
I have CUCM v7.0.2 and cluster with two MCS7835I servers. There are about 1800 phones. I need upgrade to CUCM v8.5.
As I know there is no direct upgrade. I need upgrade first to v8.0. Do I need to pay for this step version?
There is such a mess in cisco documents with cucm licensing (for me at least). I used this document
http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/partner/WWChannels/technology/ipc/downloads/ip_comm_og_ucl_based_1021.pdf
We dont have UCSS.
Is anyone can give me part numbers for this upgrade. I would very appreciate this.
Thanks.

It would be best to discuss this with your account team, they can help you with the budget and part numbers questions.
From sofware compatibility matrix it shows you can indeed not directly upgrade from 7.0(2) to 8.5(1). Though upgrades within the same major release can be done with the downloads from CCO. So you can do an intermetiate step to 7.1(3) or 7.1(5) release. From there you can do a direct upgrade to 8.5(1) though for that you would indeed need to purchase the upgrade (as it is a major upgrade from 7.x to 8.x)

ELM shows insufficient licenses after CUCM upgrade from 9 to 10.0.1

Hi All,
I just finished upgrading cucm 9 to cucm 10.0.1. Upgrade completed successfully, but elm now shows insufficient license message.
This is a Vmware installation BTW, I doubt that it matters the CUCM 901 worked fine with its ELM.
The ELM is coresident with CUCM. I though that upgrading CUCM will upgrade ELM too, but the Dashboard says to upgrade to latest version of ELM.
When I ordered upgrade through UCSS and downloaded all the files that were included in this upgrade order, one of the files was CiscoPrimeLM_64bitLnx_10.0.1.10000-19.sgn.iso.
I tried to use CUCM OS administration with this file to upgrade ELM, but OS Administration doesn't recognize it as a valid file.
The file that I used for CUCM upgrade was: UCSInstall_UCOS_10.0.1.10000-24.sgn.iso
So at this point I'm not sure whether ELM needs to be upgraded or I need new licenses for CUCM version 10.
Thanks

Upgrading co-res CUCM should have upgraded your ELM as well. It should now show as Prime License Manager when you log in. I'm guessing you just don't have any CUWL 10.x licenses installed. Can you attach a screenshot of the License Usage page in PLM?
You may need to email [email protected] to move your 9.x licensing to 10.x licenses.

License Rehosting for CUCM 8.5 to 9.1.2 Virtualization and Upgrade

No license rehosting is required for a jump upgrade from 6 or 7 to 9.1.2.
If you follow the same procedure for a 8.5 or 8.6 virtualization and upgrade - you virtualize your 8.5 or 8.6 software in a lab and then upgrade to 9.1.2 and cutover - do you need to rehost your licenses for the interim virtual 8.5 or 8.6 cluster before upgrading? I've seen this error:
"Upgrades are prohibited during Licensing Grace Period" error trying to move off the "Software Location" page.

Hi,
The following link provides details of licenses usage by diff endpoints on version 9.x

CUCM upgrade from 7.1.5 to 10.5.1.10000-7

Is it possible to do the migration from 7.1.5 to 10.5.1.10000-7 which we are doing for jump upgrade from 7.1.5 to 9.1.2.
The reason why I preferred because this jump upgrade we can achieve in isolated network.
In that case can anybody please help to get specific document for that. Kindly have a look on this case.
Regards,
Abi

You can use prime collaboration deployment. PCD will do your upgrade and migration without doing any jump upgrade or intermediate upgrade..
Please refer to the vide below.

All upgrade documentation are available on cisco. Take some time and look at the CUCM 10.5 upgrade document
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/upgrade/10_0_1/CUCM_BK_U4214F9D_00_upgrade-guide-cucm-100.html

CUCM Upgrade from 8.6(2a) / 8.6.2.20000-2 to 8.6.(2a)SU2 (8.6.2.22900-9)

I'm getting ready to upgrade a client's CUCM cluster from 8.6(2a) / 8.6.2.20000-2 to
8.6.(2a)SU2 (8.6.2.22900-9). They use extension mobilty with UCCX version 8.5.1.11003-32.
Does anyone know of any issues with ugprading this cluster vis a vis their UCCX version ?
The current CUCM Version 8.6(2a) / 8.6.2.20000-2 shows a JTAPI shows the following JTAPI version:
admin:show packages active cm-jtapi-
Active Side Package(s): for cm-jtapi- package(s)
cm-jtapi-plugin-8.6.2.10000-2
From the ReadMe For Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 8.6(2a)SU2
http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282074295/93949/cucm-readme-862asu2.pdf
I see that it shows:
cm-jtapi-plugin-8.6.2.10000-10.i386.rpm
Once I have performed the CUCM upgrade - do I need to upgrade the JTAPI plugin on the UCCX Platform?
TIA

Mohamed,
I have not actually peformed the upgrade yet. If you have done so - please reply with any lessons learned that you have.
I would upload the file to all the servers in your cluster prior to your upgrade maintenance window. This should not be service impacting.
Then during your upgrade maintenance window -
Step 15 Once the Publisher and the subscribers have been upgraded, a version switch must be completed so the servers reboot to the new upgraded partition as follows;
Web Browse to the Publisher’s OS Administration GUI
To restart the system and activate the upgrade, choose Settings > Version; then, click Switch Version.
The system restarts and should be running the upgraded software. Once the Publisher is accessible, proceed with the subscribers.
Good Luck,
Amir

CUCM upgrade 8.6 to 10

Hi
will update the version 8.5 to version 10
I have a question I hope you can help me.
I can directly upgrade from version 8.5 to 10
Upgrade to version 10 first I have to upgrade to version 9?
I need licensing for the upgrade? If yes, what kind of licensing need
if I have a CCX CUCM version 8.6 and version 10, can be operated simultaneously or me creates problems ??
it is necessary that all virtual machines (CUCM, IM, PRESENCE, CCX) run the same version is ccx CUCM 10 and 10.
are the procedure for good update.
Some documentation to recommend me.
I am at your service.
Greetings.

The upgrade guide and compatibility doc for 10.x cover upgrade paths
Your licenses will be migrated to PLM, you can reach [email protected] if you need further assistance
The UCCX compatibility matrix covers all the details about UCCX version and CUCM compatible releases, you need to review it.
CUCM and IM&P need to be in the same major release, at the X.Y level in most releases, except 10.5(2) which is only compatible with 10.5(2). As for UCCX, see above.
For the upgrade you need to review for every product:
A) RNs
B) Upgrade guide
C) Changed and new info doc, either as standalone or sometimes with the RNs
ALL the above information is available on cisco.com for you to review.

What licenses do I need for CUCM and CME

Hi Experts,
I am a newbie to Cisco IP telephony and request your guidance.
My boss has asked me to order some 7942 phones for a CUCM based site and some 7942 phones for a CME based site.
For CUCM 9, I understand that we need an enhanced user licenses on CUCM side.
For the IP phone, I see 2 part numbers and am confused.
CP-7942G - Cisco Unified IP Phone 7942G
CP-7942G-CH1 - Cisco Unified IP Phone 7942G, for Channels, with one station user license
What is the station user license mentioned in the part number CP-7942G-CH1 ? Is it the same as the enhanced user licenses? Assuming i am ordering enhanced user licenses, what should I order CP-7942G or CP-7942G-CH1?
I also see a part number SW-CCM-UL-7942= ? What is this part? is it needed?
And what do I need for CME?
Is FL-CME-SRST-10 enough for the CME?
What is the part number for the phones? Is it CP-7942G or CP-7942G-CCME?
I also see another part number "SW-CCME-UL-7942="? What is it? And is it really needed?
I heard that Cisco simplified Licensing from version 9. At least it doesn't look simple to me :(
Can you please help me, Experts?
Thanks,
Pete

Hi without knowing your business goals, current network, etc here is some feedback.
Depending on your design, if the sites are connected via a reliable WAN you could run the branch site as SRST and not CME, this way you get a rich feature set of the centralised call manager and simplify licenses, etc.
Anyway, you need to size your CUCME (or SRST) correctly as each Cisco router hardware platform has a maximum supported handsets. If you have a SIP provider new purchased ISRs now come with 10 CUBE licenses other wise you will need something else such as a VIC for dial tone.
For instance the following is a router that comes with 25 CME
C2901-CME-SRST/K9
2901 Voice Bundle w/PVDM3-16,FL-CME-SRST-25,UC Lic,FL-CUBE10
You can add CP-7942G-CCME which is the physical phone and license for CME
Use CP-7942G= for the Call Manager Deployment as you will get UCL Enh or CUWL for the user side
If you have existing routers you will need to obtain upgrade licenses for voice/CME add DSPs if needed for conferencing, media termination, etc, CUBE or voice cards and you can add the phones.
Router handset capacities see Table 7

UCCX and CUCM Upgrade

Hi All - We are planning to go for CUCM direct upgrade from 7.1.3 - 9.1.2
Also for UCCX from 7.0.1 SR5 ---> 8.5.1 --> 8.5.1 SU3 --> 9.0.2
During upgarde of UCCX 8.5.1 on UCS Machine it will ask to eneter CUCM AXL user Credentails which is in 9.1.2, So we need to know is that correct way by doing so since UCCX is 8.5.1 and CUCM 9.1.2
Also i checked few PDF'S where i can get below info.
These Unified CM versions are supported - 8.0(1), 8.0(2) and all SUs, 8.5(1) and all SUs, and Unified CM 8.6.2.22033 and later.
Does it mean CUCM 9.1.2 is compatible with UCCX 8.5.1 and 8.5.1 SU3.
SIVANESAN R

Refer to this document for all CCX compatibility details including which version you can upgrade from:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_compatibility/matrix/crscomtx.pdf
CUCM 9.1.2 is compatible with CCX 8.5SU4 for example.
Also, you can upgrade to CCX 9.0.2 directly from 7.0.2ES3.

Update hadrware resources for CUCM in UCS

Hello all,
We have CUCM 8.6 running in UCS.
The ova file used before installing CUCM 8.6 on UCS was for less number of resources ( 1xvCPU, 1x80GB, 4GB RAM ).
I need to increase resources of VM, so instead of 1=vCPU & 1x80GB, 4GB RAM i want 2 vCPU and 2 x 80 GB, 6GBM RAM.
If i increase the number of vCPU, RAM & HD from vSphere Client manually, what is the risk in CUCM database, will it effect or it will be safe ?
Is there any way to upgrade the ova file in running VM instead of building new VM with new OVA file ?
Kindly help.
Regards,

Hello bernhardczapp,
We were upgrading CUCM 8.6 to 10.5 but unfortunately it failed with an error saying there is no disk space available, we opened case wtih cisco & we were advised to perform following tasks to free disk space:
Clear the logs is from RTMT tool, download the old log/traces and delete them from the server with this process:
1)      Login to RTMT
2)      Go to Trace & log central
3)      Select Collect File
4)      Select All service checkbox and All server checkbox, click next.
5)      Select a period of time. Select all the time frame for the logs that you do not need anymore, example from January until July. (Also there is a drop down so you can clear the ones from the inactive partition.)
6)      Select the Delete file Checkbox.
7)      Click finish
We followed procedure & after 8 hours it made 6495 MB space free. Before was 36444MB & after process 29949MB.
Reason i mentioned about new ova file for CUCM 10.5 is that while creating VM i will have option to select 7,500 users (this will give me 2x80GB, 2xvCPU, 1x6GB RAM)
I will try installing your suggested cop files & will update you. Do i need to restart Servers after cop file installation ?
But if you have alternate solution please share.
Kind Regards

UCCX After CUCM Upgrade

Hi All
I am running UCCX 8.5.1.11004-25 and upgrading to CUCM 8.6.2.23900. I have completed several CUCM upgrades with various dependencies but never with UCCX as a dependency. I have checked the compatibility matrix and this all seems fine however i cant find any information on if anything needs to be done to UCCX once i switch versions on CUCM.
Im suspecting that i will need to run a JTAPI re-sync which will download a new JTAPI if it finds a different version ? Is this correct and also is there anything else i need to be watching out for ?
Thanks, Carl Ratcliffe

Thanks Tanner, quick reply and confirmed what i thought, just didnt want to get caught out at 2 in the morning with something i have missed.
Thanks, Carl

Is it a mistake for not upgrading the hard disk of new iMac to 1TB Fushion Drive

I have just bought a new iMac 27" in Fortress in HK for Video editing by Final Cut Pro X and Motion 5, may be After Effect later. I am thinking if I have made a mistake for not upgrading the driver to Fushion Drive. The followings are my spec:
Intel qual core-i7 3.4 GHz
16 GB RAM
1TB SATA
GTX 680 MX
Because my budget was within HKD 20,000, so I am considering if my decision for the upgrades were correct for video editing. To be honest, I really want to try Fushion Drive

I don't think it is a mistake. The Fuse Drive is a combination of both a Real SSD and a spinning mechanical hard drive. With that system if either drive fails you lose all your data.
There have been many articles on how to Make a Fuse drive, when there is both an SSD and Spinner installed in the system, and how to Break one up so you can use both drive independently, SSD and spinning drive as 2 separate drives.
The reason Apple came up with this system is for people that have no concept of how to use 2 separate disks in their systems. It allows them to still have the speed of a SSD along with the storage capacity of the large spinning hard drive without knowing how and where to store the data they have or may accumulate over the life of the system.
Also the way Apple want the user, almost Forces users, to store there files is in the User area that is located on the Boot drive. That will fill up a SSD very fast (depending on how much data the user or users have).
It does have overhead that will slow the system down compared to a system with independently accessed SSD and spinners.
Not sure what model iMac you bought as I didn't think the newest 27 inchers were out yet. But you should be able to add your own SSD so you can use it for the OS and program files and store your data on the mechanical, spinning, hard drive. And you can do that for much less them what Apple charges for a SSD. You could also combine them into a Fuse drive if you like. Just do a Google search for "Make Fuse Drive".

Ask question for license for CUCM

Here are the concerns of client.
1.) First Email:
Those licenses delivered are for UCM before v9 and without UWL, we will need license for CUCMv9/v10 with UWL.
2.) Second Email:
Those license you delivered are not able to import to our call manager due to version restriction, that’s why we need your help to figure out with Cisco the possibility to use those license in CUCMv9.

Hi,
Cisco DLU have gone end of sale , so, customer needs to place order for UCL/CUWL licenses.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/eos-eol-notice-c51-732309.html
If the customer has existing UCL/CUWL licenses which have been ordered for CUCM version 9 but using CUCM7/8 then, u can speak to licensing team to get licenses for CUCM 7/8.
Lastly, customer can also go for upgradation to CUCM9/10, provided they have valid ESW and UCSS contract[which is now SWSS] and then,use these ordered licenses.

For migration/upgradation of MOSS 2007 enterprise to Sharepoint 2013 System specification for new environment.

We have an installation of MOSS 2007 enterprise in production right now with sql server 2008 SP3 and Nintex workflow 7.
We need to migrate and upgrade to Sharepoint 2013. What system specifications we need to upgrade to sharepoint 2010 and sharepoint 2013.

A third party tool carries the advantages of being free of infrastructure requirements. If you don't have the budget for this, than you'll need to "double-hop" from SharePoint 2007 into SharePoint 2010 and then onto 2013.
The jump from 2007 to 2010 is likely to be the most painful. As John mentions any customisations and third party additions to your MOSS farm will need to be addressed as well.

CUCM upgrade in UCCE environment

We have a CUCM cluster(v6.1.2) for our UCCE environment (ICM v7.2.5). I need to upgrade the CUCM to version 6.1.3 (due to the DST bug). Can someone tell me which components in UCCE that I will need to upgrade and/or modify for this CUCM upgrade? Or at least point me to a document that outlines this?
thanks,
Brian

You would probably have compatibility without any UCCE change, but the recommended task is to download the updated JTAPI Client plugin from your upgraded CUCM and overwrite what is there on your PGs.
That is all.

Reinstatement SKUs for CUCCX upgrade + SWSS activation

Hello,
we would like to have some help regarding a CUCCX upgrade and the subsequent SWSS activation.
Currently, we have a CUCCX 8.x Premium + HA.
Now, since we don't have ESW/UCSS coverage, we have read somewhere that, to activate SWSSs, a license reinstatement is mandatory, by ordering some reinstatement SKUs.
We have tried to have a look at the "Ordering Guides", but we have found explicit references to reinstatement SKUs only for CUCM, but not for CUCCX.
So, we have these questions:
Which are these reinstatement SKUs for CUCCX (in particulat for our case)?
Are they "simply" upgrade SKUs?
Are there special SKUs by which it's possible to make the upgrade at a favourable cost?
Is there a document that lists the reinstatement SKUs for CUCCX?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards.

Reinstatement SKUs are usually for CUCM, CUWL or UCL licenses. If you do not have UCSS/ESW or SWSS coverage on your UCCX software you can order what are called direct upgrade SKU(s). They are "usually" cheaper than the full cost of the software. When you place an order for the appropriate upgrade you can then attach a SWSS contract for future upgrades.
For example if I were upgrading to UCCX v10.0 I would first order the top level upgrade part number of CCX-10-UPG-K9 then the appropriate upgrade SKU for the number of "seats" I was upgrading. So for UCCX 8.x to 10.x upgrade I would then order the the sub-level part number of CCX80-10U-P-P-S1 times the # of seats.
I would contact your local partner or account team so that they can provide you the appropriate SKU(s) and cost for your specific upgrade.
Let me know if this helps or you have additional questions. -Dennis
