Unity Connection upgrade from 7.1.3 to 8.5?

We are considering upgrading our unity connection cluster to version 8.5 from our current  version 7.1.3 and we are concerned about a few things.
1.  Compatibly between UC 8.5 and CUPS 8.02 and CUPC 8.5
2.  How to backup and restore current UC7.15 messages and user's VM name and greetings.
Does anyone here in the support community have experience with this version upgrade?  Would we be using cobras to back up and restore the messages?  Are there any "gotchas" we need to be aware of here?
Please let me know.
Thank you!
Rgds,
Vicky

Hi Vicky,
No worries my friend
We have not done this upgrade and do not have any current plans to do so. I am
always, always, always slow to move along the upgrade path. This may be a bad thing
but it has saved us some great pain as well over the years. Our current versions are;
CUCM - 7.1(3b)su2
CUC - 7.1(3b)su2
We have found these versions to be very stable. I have spent a fair bit of time looking at people's
migrations to 8.5(x) here @ CSC and have not seen or heard of too many horror stories. This is one bug you'll
want to look out for.
CSCtn61453            Bug Details
Applying 8.5.1 software as patch results in corrupted CUC installation.
Symptom:
After fresh installation of 8.5.1 software, we can notice several problem symptoms.
- Connection services and Connection DB does not start
- System cannot be accessed via web page
- Informix error messages for certain CLI commands
Example :- show cuc cluster status
com.informix.asf.IfxASFException: Attempt to connect to database server (ciscounity) failed.
Command failed
Conditions:
It is observed during fresh installation of Unity Connection product when installation was
started with earlier version of software and 8.5.1 software was applied as a patch during the setup process.
Workaround:
First, perform a fresh installation of earlier version of software using the install media. Then after verifying the installation, proceed with the upgrade to 8.5.1 as a separate process.

  • Unity Connection Upgrade from 8.6.2 to 9.1 latest version

    Hi,
    Am planning to Upgrade my CUC(Unity Connection) from 8.6.2 to 9.1 latest version, having my Call manager in the same version 8.6.2. I will upgrade my Call Manager from 8.6.2 to 9.X later.
    Hope i can upgrade my CUC first.
    I need some info like,
    1) Am not getting the image to download which can upgrade from 8.6.2 to 9.1 latest version directly. Should i have to move to 9.0 first and then to 9.1 ??
    2) Is their any pre cautions need to be taken care/ well known issues during the upgrade.
    3) Also, hope licensing get migrated automatically (no need to have extra efforts)
    4) Advantages of Moving to 9.x wrt to features compared to 8.6.
    Pls suggest.
    Thanks

  • Unity Connection Upgrade Version Switch - Grab a Coffee

    Thought I would post some reassurance for anyone upgrading Unity Connection to 8.5.  I can't remember other Unity Connection upgrades taking so long on the version switch (utils system switch-version).  In my case I was upgrading a Unity Connection cluster from 7.1(3b) to 8.5(1)SU1.  The software installation to the inactive partition took approximately two hours (per server), which is what the documentation describes you should expect during a business hours upgrade.  What the documentation didn't say was that during the version switch you could expect ~45 minutes of no network response from the server.  Anyway, hopefully someone will read this, grab a coffee, and wait (instead of sending out rollback notifications - - as I did!).
    HTH

    Just wanted to make sure you had seen this
    If you are upgrading during nonbusiness hours: On the publisher server, run the CLI command utils iothrottle disable to speed up the upgrade.
    In an effort to prevent upgrades from adversely affecting system  performance during business hours, the upgrade process is throttled and  may take several hours to complete. If you are upgrading during a  maintenance window, you can speed up the upgrade by disabling the  throttling. This decreases the time required for the upgrade to complete  but adversely affects Connection performance.

  • Unity Connection - Certificate from cucm no more trusted for encrypted calls after upgrade to 10.5(1)

    Hello Support Community,
    i have a strange problem:
    after upgrading my cucm and unity connection from 9.1 to 10.5(1) enctrypted calls are no more working.
    situation 1: CUCM is down, Subscriber is up: Encrypted call to Unity Connection work correctly
    situation 2: CUCM is up: Encrypted Calls to Unity Connection not working.
    i get the following Info in the log for the Connection Conversion Manager:
    19:35:21.053 |15865,,,MiuGeneral,25,Invalid Certificate: Received Certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    MIID8zCCAtugAwIBAgIQc/fBdUz1Zdh4CXhcPqGVuDANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADBw

     doesn't match with stored Certificate: -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    MIIC2DCCAkGgAwIBAgIIJWCm4bSdt+kwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAw
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
    so where does Unity Connection cache this certificate and how can i delete/replace it?
    the cert shown in the logs is the one from cucm: ("CallManager"), i recreated it through cucm os administration, now i see the same error message on unity connection for the new recreated certificate.

    Actually It doesn't. It says he's on a MacBook. I don't know all the different types of Macs. I was having a ton of problems with iChat. I opened DMZ to my computer, knocked down all firewalls etc and left everything exposed, still with bad results. A few weeks ago my power supply went out on my D-Link. I bought a linksys. Since I'd left all firewalls off I figured it couldn't be the router. I power cycled everything n the netork, still no luck. Today I bought a universal Power supply and started up my D-Link Router. Everything worked perfectly. My wifes computer - a laptop running Tiger worked fine with the Linksys and did my machine before the Leopard upgrade. Now that I've got the D-Link online everythings working.

  • Hardware checks performed during an Unity Connection upgrade ?

    I have Unity Connection 8.0.3 running on an old HP server. (Identified as a  HP 7845H2 2333 during the install)
    I tried a clean install of Unity Connection 8.6.1 on an identical server. The install failed with the server hardware failing to be recognised.
    This is despite the server hardware meeting the requirements of the Unity Connection hardware compatibility check list.
    If I try to upgrade the Unity Connection 8.0.3 system to 8.5, will the install program run a compatibility check before loading / upgrading ?
    The last thing I want is to successfully install 8.5 but have the system crash when I try to boot the new version.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Hi Andy -
    Your server may have been on the compatible hardware list but could require additional hardware - see these specs -
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/supported_platforms/8xcucspl.html#wp771057
    Unity Connection 8.6 requires 6Gig RAM and 4-146 Gig hard drives for the 7845 servers.  Yes the install program does a compatibility check - if the install does not see the "correct" configuration, it does not show Unity Connection as one of the applications available for install.  I would recommend moving to 8.6 if you can, or if you decide on 8.5, refer to Bug Search (Bug Toolkit) and review the caveats.  I recently had to applu ES55 to CUC 8.5 service release 2 to fix ViewMail forwarding voice messages from Outlook.  If you are planning to install Cisco UCS or an HP/IBM provided virtualized environment as an option, definitely check out 8.6 - it will save you from having to do a refresh upgrade from 8.5 - 8.6!
    Sincerely,
    Ginger

  • Unity Connection upgrade

    OK, I went through the upgrade on the inactive partition of both my publisher and subscriber Unity Connection (8.5).  Unfortunately, we had some other network issues that caused us to decide to not do the reboot to the updated partitions.  Two questions: 1) is there any problem that I didn't complete the upgrade with the reboot?  In other words, can I run as long as I like on the old version?  2) When I am able to do the upgrade, do I need to do anything special before I re-run the upgrade on the servers?  Like to clear space?
    Thanks,
    Jill                  

    1. Yes, just be aware you'll lose all changes done between the upgrade and the time you switch versions.
    If you want to keep the changes, you'll need to run the upgrade again.
    2. No, assuming nothing has changed, if there's any need for it, you'll get the error duing the install.

  • Unity Connection Upgrade 8.5(1)SU1 to 8.5(1)SU5

    I am upgrading Unity Connection at 2am on a Unity cluster pair.  I would like to do as much as possible ahead of time and only do the reboot to the upgrade partition at 2am.  If I do the upgrade now without the reboot, will any changes to users made this afternoon be lost when I reboot at 2am?                 

    Yes, all change between now and then will be lost.

  • CUCM/Unity/Presence Upgrade from 8.6.2 to 9.1

    Hello,
    I am planning an upgrade of our UC environment this weekend.  I've been in contact with Cisco Licensing support all week to get the appropriate license for all the services.  For CUCM I have ran the Pre Upgrade License Utility however they keep asking me for the ELM license request.
    I've told them several times that ELM gets installed during the upgrade so I cannot provide the information beforehand.  They've escalated my ticket to product management however i'm not sure i'll get a response before my maintenance window.
    Can I proceed with the upgrade of CUCM/Unity/Presence and resolve the licensing afterwards?  will it run in eval mode for a while?
    Can someone also confirm this is the proper upgrade order?
    CUCM Publisher Upgrade to 9.1
    Unity Publisher Upgrade to 9.1
    Presence Publisher Upgrade to 9.1
    CUCM Subscriber Upgrade to 9.1
    Unity Subscriber Upgrade to 9.1
    Presence Subscriber Upgrade to 9.1

    Yes, you get 60 days to solve any kind of licensing issue

    Tks Manish, I just perform a restart on the both nodes on my CUC cluster and after that I did can install this upgrade patch.
    Also is very important install the upgrade patch on all servers of the cluster before perform a switch-version on the publisher and then on the others nodes.
    Best Regards,

  • Upgrading Unity Connection from 7.1.5 to 8.5.1 - not working

    I am attempting to upgrade our unity connection boxes from 7.1.5 to 8.5.1.
    I have legacy MCS 7845H2 - It has 4 disks - 2 mirrors of 72gb disks. 4mb of RAM and 2 X 2.3ghz processors
    I have UCS C210 VMWare Hosts.
    I have attempted 2 migration methods.
    The first method involves - upgrading the existing system and restoring a backup of this to a VM
    This fails with a hardware compatablity check.
    The second method involves - backup existing systen - build VM at same level (using recommending OVA) - restore data onto VM - upgrade VM
    This fails with a restore problem - I have used 'TITAN' ftp, but please note the backup is < 900mb.
    The error is

  • Unity Connection 7 with overlapping extension

    Hello everybody,
    I'm deploying a CUCM 7.1.3 + Unity Connecion 7.1.3 to a customer, and I have a doubt when using overlapping extension. As it's a large environment, he has overlapping extension number in his multiple sites. For example, both SiteA and SiteB have the extension range 8XXX. In CUCM I have configured some translations patterns, so that an user from SiteA should dial 118XXX in order to reach SiteB, and an user in SiteB should dial 218XXX in order to reach site A. And each site has its own line partition to extension numbers. And everything works fine...
    But these users are all in the same Unity Connection Server. So I would have users from SiteA and SiteB with the same extension in Unity Connection, and I can't do that. What I know can do is to configure some partitions from SiteA and SiteB in CUC, and put each subscriber in one partition, right?
    But when a user wants to reach the voice mail to get his messages, how Unity Connection knows from which location is he?
    Please, anyone could advise me how can I proceed with this configuration?
    Thank you!!!

    Hello,
    I workarounded my problem creating multiple VM Profiles, and assigning a diferent Voice Mail Box Mask for each. And in Unity connection I created a alternate extension for each user.
    For example... the extension 6000 from SiteA has the VM Profile VM_SiteA, which has the voicemail box mask 11XXXX. And this user in Connection has the alternate extension 116000. And the extension 6000 from SiteB has the VM Profile VM_SiteB, which has the voicemail box mask 21XXXX, and this user has this number as alternate extension as well (216000)... It works fine like this.
    But actually I haven't tested the MWI... If I have a translation pattern in CUCM that translates 11XXXX to XXXX (in partition from SiteA), and another 21XXXX to XXXX (in partition from SiteB), and configure the MWI extension in Connection to be 11XXXX and 21XXXX, will it work? Have anyone already tested this?
    Thank you very much!!!

  • Licensing for Unity Connection after Upgrade from 8.5 to 9.1.2

    I upgraded my Unity connection from 8.5.1 to 9.1.2. ( my CUCM is still on 8.5.1) . I have 200 CUWL-STD ( 2200 DLUs), and 50 CUWL-PRO (850 DLUs) . Now I am working with Cisco to get a license file for Unity Connection and apply that to my ELM. I attached my licensing page for when I was in 8.5.1 . Just want to make sure if I will be getting enough license with that license file, or possibly I need to buy more. Someone told me that if I want to have users with mailbox I need to order more licenses since every user take one CUWL license.
    Honestly i do not know how CUWL licensing work regardig to Unity or even CUCM.
    Thanks,

  • Unity Connection 8.5.1 - upgraded ESXI from 4.1 to 5.1

    Hello All,
    We just completed upgrading the ESXI version on one of our UCS c210 m2 servers.  We went from v4.1 to v5.1.  We are currently running CUCM, Unity CXN, and Presence on the server that we upgraded.  The other UCS was not upgraded and is running the subscriber version of the same applications.
    After the upgrade completed we can not access UNITY Connection. 
    We are getting "Database Communication Error."  The subscriber is still working so we are still in service, but we are afraid that the database has become corrupted and we are seconds away from complete failure.
    Please let me know if anyone has encountered the same issue or has any suggestion.
    Thanks,
    AK

    Did you read this:
    Patching and Updating VMware vSphere ESXi
    In general, Cisco Collaboration app versions only mandate the Major/Minor versions of ESXi they require/support.
    Guest OS support - Cisco Collaboration apps that require a minimum Maintenance release (e.g. "5.1 U1" as minimum instead of "5.1" as minimum) for the application to be supported will explicitly call this out on their product detail pages.  When in doubt, consult Cisco Plan, Design, Implement (PDI) HelpDesk or Cisco TAC.
    Hardware support - For a Major/Minor version of ESXi supported by Cisco Collaboration apps, recommendation is to use the latest Maintenance release that is also supported/recommended by the server vendor (and storage vendor if deploying on NAS/SAN).  To help determine if a patch or Maintenance Release of ESXi "can" or "should" be deployed, follow the guidance from these sources:
    VMware Compatibilty Guide (http://www.vmware.com/go/hcl)&nbsp; for the the vSphere ESXi Major/Minor version supported by Cisco Collaboration.
    Server Vendor's hardware compatiblity information for the vSphere ESXi Major/Minor version required by Cisco Collaboration.  E.g. for Cisco UCS, see the Server Compatiblity documents athttp://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/ps10477/prod_technical_reference_list.html.

    UCXN 8.5 is supported with ESXi 5.1 per:
