Upgrade from CUCM and Unity 3.x to CUCM Business Edition 8.5

I'm trying to find the recommended upgrade path from CUCM 3.x and Unity to 3.x to a single CUCM Business Edition 8.5 server.  As far as I can see there is no migration strategy from call manager cluster environment to a Business Edition environment.  If there isn't has anyone done this and if so what steps did you take.  As it stands right now I'm thinking of building it fresh but I would think there would be some more efficient way to do it.  Any suggestions?

Hi Philippe
Not necessarily. If you're going to BE6K, then there should be a path to upgrade each of your applications from their current versions. As BE6K implements CUCM and CUC as separate VMs, you should simply be able to follow the well documented mechanisms to upgrade these platforms.
If you're going from Unity to CUC (any versions), then you'll need to use COBRAS for this available form the unitytools web site.
The method I've used for for CUCM upgrades (7.1(5) and higher).
1. Build CUCM under VMware at the same release as your physical appliance with same IP address and hostname (obviously put this on an isolation VLAN).
2. DRS backup current PUB and DRS restore onto new VM.
3. Upgrade new VM PUB to whichever release you want to get to following standard upgrade instructions. Note you may need to get a temporary V7 license from Cisco for this, otherwise you may not be able to upgrade (you'll receive a message saying upgrades not allowed in grace license period).
4. Rehost existing CUCM licenses. If you're going to V9, carefully check your license status before doing the upgrade. There's a few gotachs here, one recent one is that analog devices attached to VG2XX gateways now consume licenses whereas they didn't in earlier versions of CUCM.
If you're going to BE5K then it will be a manual process start to finish using BAT for CUCM, although COBRAS should work for Unity to CUC.

  • 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...

  • Upgrade from Training and Events managment to SAP LSO

    Hi,
    We've upgraded from Training and Events management to SAP LSO 604 and during that process we have run the execute booking relationship harmonization node in IMG.
    We still have references to Business event groups and Business event type in themaster data catalog instead of Course groups and Course types. Are we missing something?
    Thanks,

    Hi Swathi,
    You have not missed anything, they  resemble the same both in TEM & LSO so dont worry.

  • Can you sync PINs between CUCM and Unity Conneciton

    I am using the latest 8.6.x versions of CUCM and Unity Connection.  I know that you can LDAP integrate both to (indirectly) keep the passwords synchronized, but is there are way to keep the PIN in CUCM and the PIN in Unity Connection synced? 

    No there is not. This is a common feature request; feel free ot reach out to your Cisco AM and express your interest in it.

  • 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.

  • Upgraded from Tiger and Mail is unresponsive

    Hey gang-
    Well tonight finally made the plunge and upgraded from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.6. Naturally one of the first apps I tried was the new Mail 3.5. Unfortunately it is absolutely dead. Clicking Get Mail does nothing, and none of the email in my .Mac Inbox displays. Neither does any of my email saved locally, even though all the folders from the Tiger version of Mail are there. Clicking on each looks as though they are empty.
    I have good internet connectivity, as Safari works fine. It appears that all my Mail account data transferred correctly- all my account server data is there.
    FWIW, when I look at Activity in Mail, it shows two activities- both called "Gathering Children from disk for local account".
    Also of interest- the only way to quit Mail is with Force Quit.
    Gaccch this is a bad way to start with Leopard! Any ideas how to get Mail working?
    Thanks!
    Dave

    Thanks to Adam I found the reply here:

  • Uninstall v5.5 upgrade from v4 and reinstall v5.5 on new PC

    I am working on v5.5 which was enabled via an upgrade CD from v4. I have the serial numbers of both v4 and v5.5.
    Could someone confirm the following is the right way to transfer Captivate v5.5 upgrade from v4 to a new lap top.

    2. On new lap top start v5.5 installation (see question below)
    3. When requested enter upgrade v5.5 serial number, then v4 serial number
    Any idea where v5.5 download link is located?
    Thank you as always...

    Thanks Rod,
    I have just had information from TCS Support who have provided me with a link to v6 download page from where I can access two files for v5.5 and after saving both files I am advised v5.5 will start installing on my new PC.
    I just hope it is as easy as the message makes it out to be....

  • Upgrading from sgd and sgdgw 4.5.907 to 4.6

    I have gone through the docu, but found no exact explanation how to upgrade an exisiting
    1.) sgd 4.5.907 to sgd 4.6 preserve the existing setup
    2.) sgdgw 4.5.907 to sgd 4.6 preserve the exisiting setup like verisign certficate. The last time I tried to change the versign certificate, this took me ages.
    any help I appreciate, thomas
    Edited by: turbotiga on 30.10.2010 02:53

    Hi Thomas,
    Please install an extra machine with version 4.5_907.
    - Then join your existing array and have all your array and ens settings synchronized.
    - Detach the new server
    - Upgrade your new server to version 4.5_933
    - Upgrade your new server to version 4.6_911
    You now know or the upgrade is successful and you can either upgrade the old or use your "clean" new server and take the "old" one out.
    Moving a certificate should not be difficult. Take your time testing the procedure. You could use a temp server and test the certificate installation by overwriting your local DNS lookup by editing your local hosts file.

  • CUCM and Unity LDAP Support for Server 2008 R2

    I am planning on upgrading our Primary DC from Server 2003 Standard to Server 2008 R2.  We current have 2 CUCM's version 7.1.5.31900-3 and 1 Cisco Unity version 7.0 (2).  Both reference LDAP and/or GC.  I need to know will everything break once I demote the 2003 DC.  I already have one 2008 R2 domain controller in place.  Also is the 2008 R2 domain functional level supported?

    Hi,
    The directory hierachy for a backup taken using windows server backup will be something like this:
    \WindowsImageBackup\<ServerName>\<Backup datetime>\<guid name>.vhd file along with some xml config files.
    The directory heirachy above suggests the backup was not taken using Windows Server Backup, at least directly, if it is taken using some software scripted over windows server backup, the .chm file may belong to that software.
    The .vhd file created by windows server backup is not mountable in readonly mode, it is mountable in readwrite mode only.
    Thanks,

  • Serial number problem upgrading from Tryout and 5.1 to 5.5 CS Standard

    Hi
    Long one...!
    I bought a new iMac and CS5.5 Design Standard. Installed it. Didn't have my education serial at the time so ran as trial. All good.
    Received serial from Adobe. Put it in and Indesign was OK with it and upgraded to 5.5, but others stayed as Tryouts. Reinstalled, same problem.
    Contacted Adobe who said the serial was for Windows. After much messing around they issued another serial. Put it in. It changed when I put the disk in to try and reload. (Last four digit box changes itself to XXX). Other two packages went from Tryout to 5.1.
    Uninstalled whole package and reinstalled using the code Adobe Support gave me. Indesign back as 5.5 but other two still only 5.1
    Why might this be?
    You don't have to read the following but it may help.
    Thank you for answers or suggestions. At wits' end here!

  • After upgrading to Maverick, my computer will not upgrade from 10.6.8 to 10.9.5 My editing software will not run on my current version and I need this for my job! Please any help would be SO greatly appreciated!

    Computer won't upgrade to 10.9.5 after Mavericks update.

    This is all a little confusing now...let's stop and get the basics down so Chris and I are on the same sheet of paper:
    What MacBook Pro do you have and how much memory and how much free space on the hard drive?
    From the apple left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware and what does it show for Model Identifier?
    You currently have Mac OS X 10.6.8 installed, downloaded 10.9.x from the Mac App Store?  If so there should be an Installer for Mac OS X in the Finder, Applications folder if it has not yet installed.  Exactly what does it give as the name for the installer and how big is it, should be a little larger than 5 GB.

  • What is the upgrade from CS3 and 3.5? do I want it?

    Dear Community. I needed to reinstall CS3. The Software Disks got ejected from my iMac I thought the Software was defective. I went searching for a replacement.
    I found the Version CS3.5 upgrade so I bought it for $221.00 or so. Then it dawned on me that the  optical reader in my iMac might be at fault. I then bought an external disk reader. The Adobe Software is perfect at CS. What would this upgrade 3.5 do for me? I could return it.

    Just to let you know. I confconfused myself. When I attempted to reinstall
    my CS3 Standard Design, the disks spit out of my iMac. I thought the
    software was corrupted or something. I went online and found this CS3.5
    upgrade. I snapped it up. I guess from a Bookseller on Amazon. Then I began
    to wonder if the optical disk was malfunctioning. So I purchased an
    external usb reader. The Design Standard immediately installed. Here's my
    replacement software.The Surprise is that it is the Design Premium
    Application. Why would I return it I"m having a Ball so much power. Do I
    really need it no, but I reallty want it nowI regretto have brought my
    confusion onto others, One Happy Ending. Thanks, Leigh
