Two possible simple Unity Connection questions.

Hi guys,
Would an upgrade install fail on a MCS7835I3 if it has more than the minimum amount of required memory?  The upgrade version requires 6 GB and I have 8 GB in this device.
Do the same license files need to be installed on the subcriber that are installed on the publisher?  I have 5 license files on the PUB and only 1 on the SUB and it is the SUB that is failing.
These are the only two things that I can think of as to why my upgrade from 8.0 to 8.6 keeps failing.  I even had TAC today perform the upgrade for me and it failed for them too. 
Thanks,
Tracee
PS...any of you guys ever seen this?

Dear
here is a guide which will help you
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/administration/guide/8xcucsag310.html
##When a Cisco Unity Connection cluster (high availability) is configured, two licenses are required because licenses are not replicated. The license that has the MAC address or license MAC of the publisher server must be installed on the publisher server. The license that has the MAC address or license MAC of the subscriber server must be installed on the subscriber server. For details on installing license files, see the "To Install the License Files" procedure.
#Note Either or both Connection servers in a cluster can be installed on virtual machines.
The license on each server includes the parameter that sets the maximum number of voice messaging ports for that server. The license on only one server (typically the publisher server) includes all other applicable parameters (such as the maximum number of voice messaging users and voice message recordings longer than 30 seconds), which are enabled on both servers in the Connection cluster.

  • Cisco unity connection question

    Hi all, I dont have subscriber in my test environment but want know what happens with this two scenarios.          
    Can we add a mailbox in sub when pub is up?
    Can you add a mailboxin sub  when pub is down?
    I am sure that when pub is down we cannot add a mailbox, but want to make sure

    Hi Uday,
    The Cluster in Unity Connection acts differently than a CUCM cluster, so the answers to your question are;
    Yes & Yes
    How a Cluster Works in Cisco Unity Connection
    Revised May 2009
    The Cisco Unity Connection cluster feature provides high availability  voice messaging through two Connection servers that are configured in a  cluster. Under normal conditions, the Connection servers are both active  so that:
    •The cluster can be assigned a DNS name that is shared by the Connection servers.
    •Clients  such as email applications and the web tools available through the  Cisco Personal Communications Assistant (PCA) can connect to either  Connection server.
    •Phone systems can send calls to either Connection server.
    •Incoming  phone traffic load is balanced between the Connection servers by the  phone system, PIMG/TIMG units, or other gateways that are required for  the phone system integration.
    Each server in the cluster is responsible for handling a share of the  incoming calls for the cluster (answering phone calls and taking  messages). The server with Primary status is responsible for the  following functions:
    •Homing and publishing the database and message store, which are both replicated to the other server.
    •Sending message notifications and MWI requests (the Connection Notifier service is activated).
    •Sending SMTP notifications and VPIM messages (the Connection Message Transfer Agent service is activated).
    When one of the servers stops functioning (for example, when it is shut  down for maintenance), the remaining server assumes responsibility for  handling all incoming calls for the cluster. The remaining server also  assumes responsibility for the database and message store, which are  both replicated to the other server when the connection and its  functionality are restored.
    When the server that stopped functioning is able to resume its normal  functions and is activated, it resumes responsibility for handling its  share of incoming calls for the cluster.
    To monitor the status of the servers, the Connection Server Role Manager  service runs in Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability on both servers.  This service performs the following functions:
    •Starts the applicable services on each server, depending on server status.
    •Determines  whether critical processes (such as voice message processing, database  replication, and message store replication) are functioning normally.
    •Initiates  changes to server status when the server with Primary status is not  functioning or when critical services are not running.
    Note the following limitations when the publisher server is not functioning:
    •If  the Connection cluster is integrated with an LDAP directory, directory  synchronization does not occur, although authentication continues to  work when only the subscriber server is functioning. When the publisher  server is functioning again, directory synchronization resumes.
    •If  a Digital Network includes the Connection cluster, directory updates do  not occur, although messages continue to be sent to and from the  cluster when only the subscriber server is functioning. When the  publisher server is functioning again, directory updates resume.
    About the Publisher Server
    The first Cisco Unity Connection server that is configured in the  cluster is the publisher server. The Cluster Management page in  Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability identifies the publisher server.
    The publisher server assumes responsibility for publishing the database  and message store when the cluster is functioning normally.
    When the publisher server does not have Primary status (for example,  when the administrator manually changes the status of the other server  to Primary, which automatically changes the status of the publisher  server to Secondary), the other server assumes responsibility for  publishing the database and message store.
    The publisher server cannot be removed from the cluster.

  • Quick (and possibly simple) iPod migration question...

    Currently I am the proud owner of a first-gen iPod Touch 8GB, but I'm looking at upgrading to a second-gen Touch or possibly an iPhone. My question is, if I get a new device, will I be able to sync and use all the apps I have now on my 1st-gen Touch with the new Touch or new iPhone? And will they retain all the settings they had?
    Also, a bit of a side question, but does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do with my current Touch once I upgrade, besides sell it?

    I only speak from experience using the iPhone that I own. I own a first Gen and Second Gen. And I use the same PC to transfer and sync music and apps between both of them daily.
    Obviously though this may not be the same results for the touch But I do not see how this would be much different as the touch is pretty much like iPhone minus the cell part. Again the only thing I am not 100% sure about is if the data from each app will carry over to new touch. But if first touch has been backed up like iPhone's can. Then you can connect the new touch and hopefully restore a backup file from first gen touch to it. Keep in mind it may prevent this if the 2nd gen has outdated software. So it may need to be updated before you can restore a file to it.

  • Beginner Unity Connection question

    I have a very simple beginner question I would've thought would be really easy to find the answer, but so far, I have not.
    To set up a call system call handler for your basic company main number, do I need a physical phone with the number attached to a line.
    I've tried it without the physical phone and can't get it to work, but with a line, no problem?
    thanks

    Thank You.
    Figured it would be fairly simple, just needed to know where to start.
    This might be the answer to another beginner question I have been thinking about also.
    Is it common for users to call their own number when they are calling in from outside to pick up vm and then press * to access?
    The Meridian system we are tossing has a common DID number, but the way our vm was setup, the number is internal. I'm not sure if calling your own number is common or if I need to make a new number, or another CTI rp sort of thing and forward to internal vm DN.
    Hope that makes sense.

  • Simple wireless connection question-one laptop hookup

    Can one get a "wireless modem" from a cable company and buy a laptop (mac)and connect wirelessly to this modem, without having to plug the modem directly into the laptop? I've heard of "networking" where the cable modem plugs directly into a desktop, then a laptop can find connection wirelessly, but what if there's ONE computer and you don't want it wired to modem, but want to move around the house. Sorry for dumb question, but I can't seem to think thru this! Thanks ahead for help!

    What you mean is a wireless router. Very different from a wireless modem of which there are several (e.g. ethernet, USB and CardBus). Yes, you set up a wireless network via that modem/router. However, you situation is totally dependent on what your ISP provides/recommends. Check with your ISP. If they provide you with just a modem, you would pick up something like the AirPort Express to create a wireless network for your notebook to access wirelessly.

  • Unity Connections 8.5 - Mailbox Access Rights

        Hello,
    Is it possible in Unity Connections 8.5 to have a mailbox setup where anyone who has the ID and PIN can access and listen to the messages but cannot delete the voicemail messages. There would be only 1-2 to users have the capability to delete the messages.  I have a request to setup an attendance dial in mailbox where it can be checked by multiple users but only a select few would have the ability to delete the messages.
    Thank You              

    Hi Troy,
    My friend Tony is most correct here (+5 ) The best you can
    do is trick most of the users into thinking "delete" is not available.
    These settings are only exposed when using the Custom Keymapping Tool
    in CUC, so you won't see them on your default conversation. Let's say
    you are using the Classic Conversation for your users. You can go to the
    Custom Keymapping Tool from cucadmin and say select Custom Keymapping #3
    when it comes up you would, first off, reset the mapping on all tabs to Classic Conversation
    this would then replicate your existing setup. Then go to the After Message menu page and map
    some key # to "message delete" I used 17 in my tests here. Then you would also uncheck the
    "option is voiced in menu" checkbox so the users that you apply this keymapping to would not
    be offered the delete message option.
    The next step is to assign the new Custom Keymapping #3 conversation to the
    required Mailbox via user>xxxx>Phone menu>Conversation>Custom Keymapping #3
    and apply.
    You would also set Phone menu>Conversation>Custom Keymapping #3 in the User template
    area so special "restricted" mailboxes that are created can use this conversation as well
    In my tests here the only thing different than this example is that we use the Optional Conversation 1
    so I reset the mapping on all tabs to Optional Conversation 1 when going through the steps above.
    This worked like a charm.
    Cheers!

  • Unity Connection 8.5 Upgrade to 10 Licensing Question

    Hello,
    Have a question about the licensing migration of Unity Connection 8.5 Upgrade to 10, do we need to order a upgrade license via PUT tool for license migration, or we can just finish the migration without have Cisco licensing team involved?
    Thanks,

    You need to order it through PUT, but keep in mind that you will not receive a PAK for CUCM or UCXN 9 or 10 as the licenses need to be migrated to ELM. Once you upgrade ELM will be installed on each node and you pick one as your ELM server, then you follow the steps to migrate your license directly from ELM, email the request to cisco licensing and they will provide the license. You have 60 days to install new license after the upgrade.

  • Unity Connection version clarification

    Hi,
    We installed UC 7.0 last January 2009 and this weekend we updated to the October 2009 release of 7.0.2(a)SU2
    Where can I find a doc that describes the version numbering between the OS and the Application?  Before the upgrade my Inactive Version         was 7.0.1.21020-1 and the active was a flavor of 7.0.2 that was given to us by TAC in Jan.  It was a pre-release.
    Now my Inactive is still the same but my active is reporting as the October release of 7.0.2.22900-3.
    So two questions
    1 - How is this possible
    2 - What does the ES stand for in the App version when I see it on the App web page (I realize the version of the OS is a different number scheme)
    thanks

    Josh,
    I dont know that there is a document that describes the version numbering...if so, I've never seen one.  However, it's always contained in the filename.  So, to answer your questions:
    1) Your active partition shows the application versioning number of 7.0(2a)SU2 which is seen in the first part of the filename which is UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.22900-3.  So when you upgraded, you rebooted the servers and switched partitions to the upgraded version which is why you see that as the Active version.  The inactive is the same as it was before the ugprade because the system keeps an Active and an Inactive partition.  This allows you to upgrade the inactive partition on the fly but choose not to reboot the server until a later time.  Vice versa, it allows you to roll back to a previous version if the ugpraded version is problematic.
    2) ES stands for Engineering Special.  It indicates a certain patch rev of the application code.  For example the latest patch rev for Unity Connection is ES 26 so if you upgrade to 7.1(3b)SU2, the CUC web page will give you a versioning number that reflects the code contains all patches and fixes rolled up to ES26.

  • Unity Connection Voice Mail ports

    Hi experts
    I hava simple question.
    I have a UCS M3BE server with 2 CPU, as per the link http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/9x/supported_platforms/9xcucspl.html#wp810181 with 2 No's of CPU it supports only 100 ports per Virtual Machine and for the cluster it supports 200 ports.so in the CUCM Voice Mail Port Wizard i shld put figures 200 or 100??,
    i think i shld put voice mail ports 100 on CUCM with name CiscoUM1-VI with 100 ports when selecting ports on CUC-publisher
    then again creating voice mail ports 100 on CUCM with name CiscoUM2-VI with 100 ports when selecting ports on CUC-subscriber
    Thanks

    Hi Jack,
    Can you try installing the cop file from the following link
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/community/netpro/collaboration-voice-video/unified-comm-application/blog/2013/04/17/unity-connection-911-unable-to-create-more-than-8-ports
    Although this bug fix is for installations with one CPU you can give it a try.

  • Cisco Unity Connection 8.5.1 SU3 to 8.5.1 SU6 & Upgrade to 9.1.2

    Two questions !
    Firstly  - I am upgrading to the latest patch level as I want to upgrade the systems to 9.1.X
    I am installing UCSInstall_UCOS_8.5.1.16900-6.sgn.iso onto the inactive partition on the publisher then onto the inactive partition on the subscriber.
    Then I plan to switch versions out of hours.
    Question - will messages / data that has happened between the installation on the inactive partition and the switch version be preserved ??
    So if I install onto the inactive partition at 1pm, then an important message is left at 2pm and I switch version at 3pm, does the iimportant message exist on the active partition at the end ??
    Second question -
    I have UCCX-8.5.1 SU4 (HA), CUC 8.5.1 SU6 (HA) and CUCM 8.5.1 SU6 (1 pub, 2 sub) - so 7 VM's in total.
    If I want to migrate to -
    UCSInstall_UCOS_9.1.2.12900-11.sgn.iso &  UCSInstall_UCCX_9_0_2_UCOS_9.0.2.11002-27.sgn.iso
    in which order should the installations take place ?? CUCM Publisher last ?? Publisher first ??
    Thanks
    James

    Hi James,
    +5 to my friend Aman for his good tips here 
    Messages are preserved during the "switch-version" so the messages left before the command is run will be preserved as they are stored in a "common" partition;
    Switching to the Upgraded Version of Connection 8.x Software
    If you chose not to automatically switch to the upgraded partition at the end of the upgrade, do the following procedure when you are ready to switch partitions.
    To Switch to the Upgraded Version of Connection 8.x Software
    Step 1 If you do not have a recent backup, back up the server by using the Disaster Recovery System. For more information, see the Disaster Recovery System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x athttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/drs_administration/guide/8xcucdrsag.html.
    Step 2 Sign in to Cisco Unified Operating System Administration.
    Step 3 From the Settings menu, select Version.
    Step 4 On the Version Settings page, select Switch Versions, and the following occurs:
    •Connection services are stopped.
    •Data from the partition where the older version is installed is copied to the partition where the newer version is installed. If changes to the database schema require updates to the format of data, that occurs in this step. Note that messages are stored in a common partition, so they are not copied.
    •The Connection server restarts and switches to the newer version.
    Note You can check the status of the installation of the upgrade software by using the CLI command show cuc version. The upgrade is complete when the inactive partition has the upgraded software and the active partition has the old software.

    The upgrade order is shown here (above link) as well, which is Pub followed by Sub;

  • Unity 7 upgrade to Unity Connection 10.5

    Hello,
    We need to complete an upgrade from Unity 7 to Unity Connection 10.5. Note: This is UNITY 7 and not Unity Connection 7. I understand that this will involve using the COBRAS tool to perform the upgrade.
    The challenge is that no ESW/UCSS contracts exist, so of course the upgrade will have to be purchased. The upgrade guide for Unity Connection 8.x provides information on the process of migrating from Unity to UCXN however the upgrade guide for UCXN 10.5 does not. My question is whether or not it is possible to upgrade from Unity 7 directly to UCXN 10.5 in order to save from purchasing UCXN 8 (which may not even be possible anymore due to end of sale)?
    Any info you may be able to provide to assist with this situation would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    You can use the COBRAS tool to take a backup from Unity 7.0 and restore it on Unity Connection 10.5. Consolidated Object Backup and Restore Application Suite (COBRAS) is a set of tools designed to allow administrators to backup all subscribers, call handlers, interview handlers, public distribution lists, and schedules and to restore some or all of that information onto another Unity or Connection server.  It is specifically designed to allow for partial restores, restores onto different versions or products than the version that was backed up, and “merges” of data from multiple system backups.
    http://www.ciscounitytools.com/Applications/General/COBRAS/Help/COBRAS_Briefcase/COBRAS_Briefcase.htm#_Toc383446481
    The link lists support upto Unity Connection 10.0 , but 10.5 is also supported.

  • Unity 7 to Unity Connection 8

    this is a design question and best way to go about doing this:
    we have Unity 7 voicemail only in it's own domain on box exchange. we have a total of 5 servers like this connected together around the world.
    we want to move to Unity Connection HA at all thye sites and network digitally. We want to integrate to their existing corporate domain. we must preserve greetings and passwords and callhandlers but not voicemail. what and how do we do this.

    COBRAS cannot maintain passwords since Microsoft AD stores them in a one-way hash. Cisco's documentation says this:
    Passwords for Cisco Unity web applications cannot be exported because they are stored in Active Directory. When you create new user accounts by importing data, every account will get the same password, which is the password in the template that you specify when you import data.
    You can have internal user accounts in Unity Connection; or syncronize them to UCM or Microsoft AD through AXL or LDAP respectively after import. Unlike Unity, Unity Connection is read-only with LDAP so the schema extensions are no longer relevent.
    I'm not sure what your migration strategy is; however, it is possible to digitally network a Unity 8 site (i.e. you would have to upgrade those first) to Unity Connection 8 site. The Design Guide has a whole chapter on this: Migrating from Cisco Unity to Cisco Unity Connection 8.x. You may want to spend some time reading that and deciding on the best course of action.

  • Scripting UCCX 9to Unity Connection 9 Directory Handler

                       My customer wants the voice enabled directory handler in Unity Connection 9.x but they do not want the "if you know your parties extension, you may dial it at any time" part.  My question is, is it possible to create a UCCX script to answer and provide a menu that, among other things, forwards the call to the directory handler but hits the 4 key to go directly to the "who do you want to call?" prompt so the caller never actually hears the part about knowing your parties extension?
    Yes is seems petty and trivial however....

    Sure. You an also build customer call handlers and directory handlers in Unity and record any prompt you want, so not sure why you would want to do it in UCCX unless you have some more advanced requirements, i.e. massage digits, lookup stuff via XML, DB, etc.

  • Unity Connection 8.0.3 - Opening Greeting ignores user input

    Hello,
    When I dial CUC pilot number, I hear "Cisco Unity Connection messaging system. From a touchtone telephone you can dial extension at any time. For directory of extensions, please press 4..."
    Problem is when I try to dial number 1001 or try to press 4 for directory of extensions, CUC always plays "Sorry there is no operator... Record your message after tone, when you are finished please hang up or press # for more options...". Also, when I record some message after tone, I am unable to cancel message after pressing 6. I think that CUC ignores my touchtone presses.
    Setup is simple. CIPC registered to CUCM, CUCM and CUC integration is accomplished via SIP trunk. From CIPC, I dial CUC pilot number, and get mentioned prompts. On CUC, I have configured one user with 1001 extension and associated mailbox. Also, Opening greeting handler has CSS wich contain partition in wich the user with 1001 resides.

    I just noticed that if integration is accomplished via SCCP, it works as desired!
    Why DTMFs are not send via sip trunk... The question is now...

  • BE5K to Virtual CUCM and Unity Connection 10.5(2)?

    Hi,
    I am migrating a CUCM and Unity Connection 8.6 from physical server to CUCM and Unity 10.5(2) and I estimate about 2-hour effort with PCD to migrate the CUCM to be ready for testing. Not sure about Unity Connection Part though. The physical server is serving 120 users with 3 remote locations(via MGCP) and complex integration with other systems. I only done greenfield deployment before...no migration/upgrade experience...
    Simple/not simple questions:
    1. Will the 2-hour be enough for CUCM?
    2. PCD doesnot seem support migration of Unity Connection to 10.5. What is the recommended approach? Gradually move data or cutover?
    3. From your experience, how long it takes for upgrading/migrating Unity Connection?
    I have these 2 documents from Cisco as my reference, any other recommendations?
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/ucmapMigrate/10_5_1/CUCM_BK_M24251C0_00_migrate-procedure-for-cucm_1051/CUCM_BK_M24251C0_00_migrate-procedure-for-cucm_1051_chapter_01.html
    http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/upgrade/guide/10xcucrugx/10xcucrug022.html

    Thanks for pointing it out. I did not realize BE5K is not supported by PCD.
    Will this be my next best bet then:
    Install version 8.6.2 VM in ESXi
    Export info using BAT from BE5K
    Import info into 8.6.2 VM on ESXi
    Upgrade the 8.6(2) VM to v10.5.x (via PCD I guess)
    Test then discconnect BE5K
    If I am correct, will 4-hour be enough?
    I also saw some other suggested to do in-software upgrade to 9.x than export... I just feel that is too risky...BE5K is already a single point of failure what happens if in-software upgrade failed...

Maybe you are looking for
