Call Manager upgrade to 10.x version

Dear Community members,
I need your urgent assistance.
My company   purchased from Cisco Gold Partner the licenses for upgrade from our existing CUCM 7.1.5 to the latest version .
My plan was to make an upgrade in my lab first then start in production Environment,
But I can not do anything !!! Always get's the Error message !!!
Below the steps what I did:
1. Install in my MCS CUCM 7.0.2 version
2. Upgrade it to 7.1.5 version
3. Take a backup from my production CUCM 7.1.5
4. Restore that backup in my LAB to 7.1.5
5. Tried to upgrade it to 9.0 but get this error : Upgrades are prohibited during License Grace Period
6. I've read in community that it's a bug and I have 2 options :
     6.1   Delete the license files
     6.2   Install the .cop file : ciscocm.refresh_upgrade_v1.5.cop.sgn
7. First I've tried to delete all license files by this command through CLI : file delete license */
    I've deleted all licenses
8. Tried to upload that mentioned .cop file through DVD/CD but get the same error :
Upgrades are prohibited during License Grace Period
Please help me to fix this issue, what can I do else ?? how can I fix this problem with upgrade ???
P.S. Would like to mention again that it's in closed environment .

What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server)

Hi
What is the procedure of Call Manager upgrade from version CUCM 7.1 (MCS Server) to version CUCM 10.2 (on UCS server) , please let me know the steps to what would be the backup procedures and upgrades.
Regards
Gaurav

I'd suggest reading this guide to make sure you have prepared your environment to support 10.x first. The link below also contains the upgrade path to 10.0(1).
One of the ways you can do this is:
1/ Apply refresh upgrade cop file on all servers in cluster.
2/ Upgrade the cluster to 8.6(2). Take a backup of the cluster.
3/ Build a cluster of 8.6(2) servers on VMs, and assign them the same hostnames and IP address as the hardware cluster. (You may need to keep these on a separate network until switching off the hardware machines)
4/ Restore the backup taken from the hardware cluster on to the VM cluster.
5/ Upgrade VM cluster to 10.0(1).

Ringtones and background images not available after call manager upgrade

Hi,
We have upgraded our call manager from version 8.5 to 10.5. Once after the upgrade we lost all the Ringtones and background images except the two default ringtone and background images. we got 8945 sccp phones(running 9-3-1 firmware) and 9951 sip phones(running 9-4-1 firmware). Both these phones lost these list. However the ringlist.xml is available in the tftp server with all the ringtones and the phones are pointed to the right tftp servers. I tried to restart the tftp servers and tried again, however that didn't help. we are using call manager 10.5 and h323 voice gateway. Could anyone please help on this.
Thanks
Barry

Hi Tony,
I can see the ringtone files in the call manager (osadmin>tftp file mgmt), i have also restarted the tftp services, but it didn't help. I believe you advised to re-upload the ringlist file (Ringlist.xml) and try again. I will try this and update you. Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.
Thanks
Barry

Call Manager Upgrade????

I am running Call Manager 6.0. I want to upgrade my Call Manager Software to 6.1.4. Do I have to upgrade the Call Manager Using FTP over the network or can I just use the local DVD drive to upgrade it?

you cannot directly upgrade from 6.0.1 to
6.1.3 or 6.1.4 - the best option would be to upgrade to 6.1.2 and from there
to either 6.1.3 or 6.1.4.
you should be able to do it via sftp

Call Manager upgrade considerations

Hey,
have a pub and a sub ccm running 4.0. customer requires upgrade to 4.2. we also need to change the dial-plan from 4 digit to five.
another engineer has recommended blowing away the entire ccm and installing with 4.2 because upgrades always have some type of issue. I have never upgraded before so i just wanted to get some opinions. which is the safer, realistic feasible route. is the upgrade to 4.2 that unstable that i have to redo everything?.

I really don't think that blowing away the entire ccm is the way to go, normally the upgrades are transparent, just follow the procedure in the installation guide and you should be fine. Always remember to have a backup of your system just in case.

Call Manager 9.1 Active Directory Question(s)

Hello All!
Firstly let me establish that I am not an administrator of our VoIP system however I do manage the Server side of our network. We are in the process of planning an Active Directory upgrade and I'm having some difficulty getting a question answered about the requirements for Call Manager. We are at version 9.1 of Call Manager currently with our Active Directory version at 2003 R2. We are planning to upgrade to Active Directory version 2008 R2 (functional level) however we would like to use Server 2012 R2 as the OS for our AD servers. From a Microsoft standpoint this is a valid solution, it's built into Active Directory that you can run at different "functional levels" of AD on higher server operating systems. Any Call Manager applications that require a Windows operating system would run on whatever works for that (2003 or 2008 etc). Can we use Server 2012 R2 as the Domain Controller operating system while running at 2008 R2 functional level for Active Directory and still retain our Cisco support?

Hi Allen,
This is from Cisco site (you already may have seen this), though it talk about the directory services but it is specifically mentioned 2008. 2012 may work and specially as you are saying with functional level set to 2008 shouldn't have any issues. But Cisco have not tested that and you may get into support issues (if any).
Its completely tested and supported with CUCM 10.X
Version 9:

Configure LDAP directory
If you want to do so, you can add users from your corporate directory to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager database by synchronizing the user data to the database. Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows synchronization from the following directories to the database:
Microsoft Active Directory 2000
Microsoft Active Directory 2003
Microsoft Active Directory 2008
Microsoft Active Directory Application Mode 2003
Microsoft Lightweight Directory Services 2008
iPlanet Directory Server 5.1

Upgrading call manager from version 8 to 9

Hi All
Can anyone please tell me the summary steps on what I need to do to go from call manager version 8 to version 9?
many thanks
Carl

The answer to your question, is that they entirely depend on you exact CUCM versions, asking here and just saying "8 "does not work. You will need to do your due diligence, and read:
A) Upgrade guide for your target version
B) Release Notes
C) New and changed doc, if not included in the RNs already
They will provide you with ALL you need to perform the upgrade, pre-reqs, procedure, and post-upgrade changes to the VM. All the information is available on cisco.com under the CUCM main documentation site.
Once you've been thru those, you can come back with any further questions.

Call Manager 8.0 to 9.1 upgrade

We are currently running Call Manager 8, UCCE 8, and CVP 8. ICM/CTI 8.
We would like to upgrade Call Manager 8 to 9.1 first before upgrading UCCE, CVP, etc., it could be months before these are upgraded.
Does anyone know or foresee any issues if UCCE, CVP, etc., are not upgraded right away after CM is upgraded?
Any comment is appreciated. Thanks.

Look at the UCCE compatibility matrix as you need the exact versions to find out whether they will work together, of ir you'll need a single window on which to upgrade all.

Upgrade Call Manager

Hello All,
our company is planning to upgrade Cisco Call manager 5.0 to version 8. Can you please help me out what the procedure will be. Or also what the steps i need to follow to upgrade from 5 to 8.

Hi ,
For upgrading call manager from version 5 to 8 , u need to consider the following steps:
a. you need to have valid ESW and UCSS contract since this would be a major upgrade.
b. Check for existing Hardware since DRAM and HDD requirements are different for version 8.0(3) and above.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/ps5748/ps378/prod_brochure0900aecd8062a4f9.html
c. you also need to check the software compatibility matrix.

Upgrade Call Manager from 8.6.2 to 10.5

Hello All,
We are planning to upgrade a Cisco Call Manager Publisher node from 8.6.2 to 10.5. We want to install a new publisher on a new environment, but we are struggling with some questions.
If we install the Pub node 10.5 can we migrate the configuration from the 8.6.2 to 10.5? Do we need a special tool for this?
If above doesn't work, we can still migrate the existing call manager towards the new servers and start the upgrade, the only problem we face there is that we have to change the publisher's IP because we want to use a new ip addressing scheme.
Kr,
Yannick Vranckx

Your best bet is to use the new tool: cisco prime collaboration deployment. This fits perfectly into what you want to do here and can easily help you with all aspect of the migration including the ip address change. You can learn how to use the tool here..

What are the essentials needed before upgrading from call manager 9.1.1 to call manager 9.1.2?

I recently tried to upgrade my call manager in a lab environment from 9.1.1 to 9.1.2 but failed. The error stated that connection had been lost after 2 hours into it. Connect using CLI. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You mean via GUI??
What does the upgrade status via CLI says??

CDR FIles in Call Manager version 7.1.5-30000

Good Morning:
I have a cluster of servers Cisco Call Manager version 7.1.5.30000; 01 Publisher and 02 subscriber. The publisher server passes CDR files to a call accounting application PC-SYSTEL on another server. At one point the CDR files are no longer spend the Call Manager to the application PC-SYSTEL
Call manager services are reviewed, the part of CDR Management in Cisco Unified Serviciability right. The only solution is doing a RESTART to PUBLISHER server, and then again go CDR files to the application PC-SYSTEL
Please anyone has any solution other than to give a RESTART PUBLISHER server, or is this the only way to restore this service.
Expect your news.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Regards.
Fernando.

Hi Fernando,
Please check the following.
(1) Confirm that the billing server is configured correctly (verify the IP address). From the Cisco Unified Serviceability page, navigate to Tools > CDR Management to view the billing server parameters.
(2) Check if you can ping the billing server from the Publisher. From the Publisher CLI, you can use the following command:
utils network ping a.b.c.d
where a.b.c.d is the IP address of the billing server
(3) Check if the FTP (or SFTP) service/software running on the billing server.
(4) Check if the billing server is running out of disk-space.
(5) Check if the CDR Respository Manager service is running on the Publisher. If not, start the CDR Repository Manager service.
(6) On the Publisher, check the 'preserve' and 'destinationX' (X can be 1, 2 or 3) directories for CDR flat files. For example: if transfer of CDR files to billing server is broken from Jan 6th, then use the following commands:
file list activelog /cm/cdr_repository/preserve/20110106
file list activelog /cm/cdr_repository/destination1/20110106
(if multiple billing servers are configuration, the location will be similar to above, but the corresponding directories will be named destination2, destination3). This location contains symbolic links to files under preserve. CDR Repository Manager service uses these soft-links to determine what files need to be transfered to billing server.
If you don't observe files in either the 'preserve' or the 'destinationX' locations for the specific date, then it means that problem does not reside on the Publisher. Either the CDR records were not generated by the server that handled the call or it could mean that CDR Agent service on that server could not transfer flat files to the Publisher. Was the 'CDR Enabled Flag is enabled in CallManager service' enabled on that particular date ? Is the CDR Agent service running on the node that handled the call ?
If you observe files in the 'preserve' directory for the specific date, try restarting the CDR Repository Manager service on the Publisher. If the file transfer to the billing server does not commence, then set the trace level for the CDR Repository Manager service to Debug, wait 10 minutes, download CDR Repository Manager logs via RTMT and engage Cisco-TAC for further troubleshooting.
