Upgrade from Cisco Unified CM 4.2 to CUCM 6.0

We are planning an upgrade from CUCM 4.2 to CUCM 6.0 in March, 2009. Is it significantly different? Should I try to get some training classes before upgrade? Or are functions esentially the same?

Hi Mary,
Happy 2009 my friend!
First off, if you can get some training it's always a valuable thing. That being said, functionally, the knowledge that you have gained while working with CUCM 4.x versions will carry across nicely. So you won't be working "in the dark" here. The look and feel is quite different but is not a "show stopper".
If you get some time to play in the "lab" you should be good to go.
Here is one Cisco Press book that is good for CUCM 6.x studies;
Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 1 (CIPT1)
Implementing Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Part 1 (CIPT1), is a Cisco®-authorized, self-paced learning tool for CCVP® foundation learning. This book provides the knowledge necessary to install, configure, and deploy a Cisco Unified Communications solution based on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the call routing and signaling component of the Cisco Unified Communications solution. By reading this book, you will gain an understanding of deploying a Cisco Unified Communications Manager to support single site, centralized, distributed, and hybrid call processing models.
This book focuses on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.x. You will learn how to install and configure Cisco Unified Communications Manager, power over Ethernet switches, and gateways using MGCP. You will also learn how to build a scalable dial plan for on-net and off-net calls. The dial plan chapters of the book cover call routing, call coverage, digit manipulation, class of service, and call coverage components. This book will teach you how to implement media resources, LDAP directory integration, and various endpoints including Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). Cisco Unified Video Advantag endpoint configuration is covered, in addition to, Cisco Unity® voice mail integration and basic voice mail box creation. Various user features are discussed including Presence.
Whether you are preparing for CCVP certification or simply want to gain a better understanding of Cisco Unified Communications Manager fundamentals, you will benefit from the foundation information presented in this book.

  • Upgrading from cisco LMS 3.0 to a latest version

    Hello,
    Upgrading from cisco LMS 3.0 to a higher version.
    Whatdoes it require?.
    What is the current version?
    What do we need for upgrading?
    Are there specific codes or new need to buy new products?
    In case of buying new products, which are the configurations?

    H Malik,
    You are correct! Latest version is Cisco prime LMS 4.2. There is no direct upgrade from LMS 3.x to LMS 4.x.
    The procedure is simple:
    Take backup orf old LMS --> Un-install (if same machine)--> Install new LMS --> Restore backup to get old data.
    You would need to purchase new license for it.Cisco Prime LMS is now part of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure bundle and is not orderable separately. Cisco Prime Infrastructure bundle follows a size-based incremental licensing model. Device licenses can be combined and added when applied to a single server installation instance. Customers have the option of adding incremental licenses for additional devices as their network grows.Refer to the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Ordering Guide located at http://www.cisco.com/go/primeinfrastructure for the exact part number that matches your requirement and placing the order.
    Currently even SmartNet or SAS contracts does not cover major upgrades from LMS 2.x and 3.x; an upgrade part number will need to be purchased to move to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2. These upgrade part numbers reflect a significant discount to protect customers' investment in the Cisco Prime product line.
    The data migration process will vary depending on the LMS version from which the data need to be migrated. Migrating data to LMS 4.2:
    • LMS 4.2 supports local upgrade or direct inline upgrade only from LMS 4.0.1 and LMS 4.1.
    • LMS 4.0 customers are encouraged to install LMS 4.0.1 before doing inline upgrade to LMS 4.2.
    • LMS 3.2 and LMS 3.2 Service Pack 1 customers can do a remote upgrade through the LMS backup and restore mechanism.
    • LMS 3.1, LMS 3.0, LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update, LMS 2.6, and LMS 2.6 Service Pack 1 customers need to do a remote upgrade to LMS 4.0.1 and then upgrade to LMS 4.2.
    -Thanks

  • Upgrade from Cisco 7.1 to 10.5

    Hello,
    We are planning an upgrade with a customer from Call Manager 7.1 to 10.5, to do this without impact i have a plan in mind. Could you guys check if this is correct, since we will be moving from a MCS to an UCS
    - Install UCS in staging Lab (prepare the esxi etc etc)
    - Do a backup of the current call manager (7.1)
    - Deploy the 7.1 call manager to the new UCS (ISO from cisco website)
    - Do a restore to have all the configuration on the staging Lab
    - In the staging lab perform the upgrade
    I would do this for Call Manager & also Unity, this shouldn't pose any problems?
    Kind Regards,
    Yannick Vranckx

    Hi ,
    You can use PCD for migrating from MCS to UCS.

  • Verifying data coming from Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports

    Good afternoon
    I (along with a number of other colleagues) are heavily involved in a project to take data from a wide variety of different sources and merge it all into one system so that we can report on it in a joined-up manner.
    The project comprises a number of different types of data source (such as Telephony or CRM). Within each data source type, we have various suppliers of those products. In the case of telephony data (which I'm looking into at the moment), the eventual aim is to make it possible to take data from any of the telephony platforms in use across our business (currently AVAYA, Alcatel and Cisco) and report on it in a uniform way, thus negating the need for an end-user to know what the Cisco definition of AHT is (for example).
    The switch I'm currently looking at is a managed switch, meaning that we don't have any sort of direct access to the back-end database(s). We could probably get it, but I suspect that the company that manages it for us would probably charge a small fortune for that. In view of this, I'm working with a number of the standard reports in the Cisco Unified CCX system. My plan (at the moment anyway) is to identify the reports that we can use that will best provide details of all calls into and out of our contact centres. I'd be looking to get the exact details of each individual call, which could then be rolled up into manageable intervals (such as 15-minute or 30-minute).
    Before I go much further, I'd like to be clear on something: I'm a database developer rather than a telecoms engineer so if I ask something that appears to be obvious then I apologise in advance. I've got quite a bit of experience of working with the CTI system that sits on top of our AVAYA platform, but it's proving to be a bit of a wrench effectively "un-learning" that system so that I can make room in my head for the Cisco solution.
    So, what I've learned (or have guessed) so far is this:
    When I run the Application Performance Analysis report, the Application Names that are returned are effectively the Call Routes that are set up in the system. Each Call Route can be fed by one or more Called Number (which I understand to essentially be a DDI);
    The Application Summary Analysis report shows the same Application Name information as is shown in the Application Performance Report. However this report also shows the Called Number, thus providing slightly more information about the individual DDI being answered;
    My next plan is to try and run an Agent-level report so that I can see exactly which calls each agent handled. This is where I've run into problems: I ran the CSQ - Agent Summary report for the whole of 17th October. I then ran the Agent Detail report for the same period, and ran it out to CSV so that I could "play" with the data. The CSQ - Agent Summary Report shows that a particular agent on a particular CSQ Name (ID) handled a total of 29 calls. However, if I filter the Agent Detail report for that agent and CSQ, I get a total of 30 calls and for the life of me am unable to identify where the missing call is coming from. Initially I'd thought it might be bacause the CSQ in question has two separate DDIs but as far as I can see, this is making no difference.
    I NEED to be 100% sure that when I'm importing the data from the Cisco reports into our system, I am then able to mimic the types of reports that are coming from Cisco, with the same figures. Therefore, if anyone can help me, I'll be extremely grateful.
    TIA
    Ian Henderson

    The "Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports Scheduler" sits in my startup folder but seems like it doesn't "run" at startup. So I ran a "test":
    - Manually right-clicked the "Cisco Unified CCX Historical Reports Scheduler" icon in the startup folder and chose "Run as Administrator"
    I didn't log off or reboot PC and the reports are running again. I checked the "properties" of the icon and I did make sure it was already set to "Run this program as an Administrator" under the "Compatibility" tab.
    Not sure why it's not working...
    Thank you for any help you can provide....

  • CM upgrade from 6.1.1 to 7.0(2)

    Hello,
    I am going to be upgrading our CM this weekend and I would like to know if it is possible to run the upgrade today on the Pub and Sub and wait to reload both of them on Saturday or Sunday. When the reload happens, the Pub will be done first, then the sub. The upgrade will be installed on the inactive partition so that should be fine, right? Or is that not the way it should be done? Thanks in advance.

    Hey Paul,
    Thanks for posting this up :) +5 points for this very kind gesture!
    It looks like this is the reference that we are talking about;
    "Note When upgrading from Cisco Unified CM 5.x to Unified CM 6.x, any changes made to the subscriber's database in the active partition after the start of the upgrade process will not be migrated to the new version of the database.
    Note When upgrading from Unified CM 6.0 to Unified CM 6.1 or later releases, any changes made to user-facing call processing features in the active partition of the subscriber's database will be migrated to the new version of the database. Any other database changes made in the active partition of the publisher's database will not be migrated to the new version of the database."
    So it looks like changes like Call Forward All would be migrated but adding a new phone would not. Makes sense.
    Thanks again!

  • Remove a report from CUCM Cisco Unified Reporting

    Hello,
    I did a Unified CM Cluster Overview report in CUCM 8.6 (a cluster with 2 nodes, replication is good) but it took a long time. So I stopped the process.
    But when I enter the Unified CM Cluster Overview in Unified Reporting, it shows that generated report. And when I click it, it shows
    "ERROR : Fatal error encountered while validating report XML with schema".
    My question is : How can I delete a report from Cisco Unified Reporting ?
    I searched in Cisco Unified Reporting Administration Guide and I didn't found a way to do it.
    EDIT : Well the report was being generated, and the report can finally be displayed. But the question remains open. How can I delete this report ?
    Thank you for your answers.

    Hi Mohamed,
    Generate a new report, it will overwrite the old one. There is no option to delete it from cucm admin page. If you are concerned about the time it took to generate the report the first time then restart the Database Layer Monitor and Tomcat services before running a fresh report. Tomcat needs to be restarted from CLI of the Pub ( utils service restart Cisco Tomcat ), it is case sensitive.

  • CUCM Upgrade from 9.1.2 to 10.5

    Hi all,
    I have tested upgrading CUCM from 9.1.2 to 10.5 in my lab. As i read before, we need some cop files to upload to CUCM before upgrade procedure.
    Cisco named this upgrade as <Refresh Upgrade> and during this process, RHEL version will also upgrade with CUCM version.
    On my test, i dont upload any cop file before upgrade. Just uprade to 10.5 version.
    Before upgrade my RHEL version was 5(32 bit) and after upgrade it is 6(64 bit).
    After upgrade, everything seems ok but upgrade took lots of time, like 4 hours.
    During upgrade there is no connection to CUCM and i saw blue screen :)
    What is your opinion? Will this method work on customer enviroment?
    Do you test this procedure before?
    Best Regards,

    Dear Carlo & Chris, May I ask you to clarify on below comment which is mentioned in Release note of CUCM 10.5  
    I don't understand why Cisco has mentioned this, if its not required ? I would appreciate your any inputs. 
    Preupgrade COP File
    If you are upgrading to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.5(1), or later, from a release earlier than Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.0(1), you must download and install ciscocm.version3-keys.cop.sgn on every node in the cluster. This Cisco Options Package (COP) file has the RSA keys that are required to validate the upgrade. Missing RSA-3 keys will result in status errors in the Software Installation/Upgrade window of the Cisco Unified Operating System Administration interface.

  • Upgrade from CCM 4.2 to CUCM 7.1

    Is it doable to upgrade Cisco Call Manager 4.2 to Cisco Unified Communication Manager 7.1 ?

    Hi there,
    Yes, 4.2(3) would be the minimum required version
    DMA for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 4.x
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/ccmcompmatr.html#wp57424
    DMA release Notes
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_release_notes_list.html
    Data Migration Assistant (DMA) Release 7.1(3) collects application data from Unified CM Releases 4.1(3), 4.2(3), and 4.3(2) system for upgrade to Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 7.1(3). DMA exports data in the current Window based system (with SQL server database) that later gets imported to the appliance-based system (with Informix database).
    Cheers!

  • Deploying Cisco Unified CM Assistant Console in CM 8.5

    Our business recently upgraded to Cisco Unified CM 8.5.  I discovered Assistant Console in the Applications - Plugins.  I have reviewed some of the documentation, but have a few questions. 
    1.  Where do I find the complete documentation for deploying this application? I basically wanted to set up the necessary structure in CM, so I can install the application on my workstation and play with the software to see if the functionality is appropriate for our business.
    2.   In CM,  System - Service Parameters - Server - Service:  Cisco IP Manager Assistant (Active), what Server be defined as Primary vs. Backup?
    Cisco IPMA Server (Primary) IP Address
    Cisco IPMA Server (Backup) IP Address 
    Our VoIP environment is set up as a cluster with (1) Publisher, (1) Subscriber and (1) Virtual Server.  I believe I understand that the Subscriber would be the correct Server to assign as the Primary IPMA server,  because it has less work to do and then assign the Publisher as the Backup IPMA server.  Would this be correct?
    2.  Cisco documentation refers to 7940/7941/7960/7961/7970/7971 phones to be programmed for this solution, but what about 7942 phones?  I would hope that they to can be used for the Assistant console?
    3.  Cisco documentation shows that JRE 1.4.2_05 needs to be installed.  Will a current version of Java work as well or do I specifically need this version?
    Please supply any other info that would be helpful for this implementation.

    Susan,
    Save yourself some time and don't bother with this feature, use shared lines instead as you will same yourself from painful config/support and end user from frustration. I've deployed it at few customers back few years ago (no improvements have been made to this feature for some time) and they will hated it and ripped it out. Cisco should have gotten rid of this app instead of AC.
    HTH,

  • Ccm upgrade from 6.1

    Hi;
    I want to upgrade his ccm 6,1 to the newest,
    what must be have to do this upgrade???
    thanks

    Hi
    Overall you have to do following
    1) See if you hardware support the new release or not.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/ps5748/ps378/prod_brochure0900aecd8062a4f9.html
    If not you will have to purchase new hardware or else you can use old hardware for new CUCM release.
    2) Since this is major upgrade you will have to use new licenes also.
    3) Direct upgrade from 6.1.4 is allowed till CUCM 9.0. So of you are running 6.1.4, you can upgrade to CUCm 9.x in single step.
    You will find exact step in relesae notes of the release which you want to upgrade to.
