WAAS Upgrade CM path from 4.4.7 WAE-512 to 5.4 vCM

I have a deployed WAAS system running 4.4.7 and the old WAE hardware is all on the EOL clock or not supporting 5.4 at all. The budge fairies had money at the end of the year so I've got new WAVE boxes and vCM 5.4 DVDs to deploy.
My question is what is the upgrade process for the CMs?
Can I simply spin up two 5.4 vCMs as a secondary CMs to the 4.4.7 primary CM on a WAE-512, then make one the primary? That would assume that a 5.4 secondary could sync to and then take over directly from a 4.4.7 primary. That's the bit that I have doubts about.
Or would I have to start with vCMs at 4.4.7 to get them to sync, then take over as primary and upgrade them? Is there a 4.4.7 vCM image?
If that's a dead end, I saw another discussion about downgrading a WAVE-294. I'm thinking one could be downgraded to 4.4.7, joined as a secondary CM, promoted to primary, and then upgraded as a stepping stone to vCMs at 5.4. Then the '294 would be deployed back as accelerator as originally intended. Any pitfalls with this?
Or is there a simpler path that I'm missing entirely?
Also can anyone confirm that the RJ-45 console ports on the WAVE-*94 have the same pin-out as traditional Cisco switch RJ-45 console ports?
Thanks.

Hi Edward,
For the upgrade process, you'll have to follow this procedure :
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v541/release/note/waas541xrn.html#pgfId-171257
So either down grade your vCM to 4.4.7 (this requires that it is a vCM-100 or -2000)
- there probably is a vCM 4.4.7 image out there somewhere, but these could be hard to get.
- or just use the "copy ... install" on your vCM, to get it downgraded.
or use the 294 method (same methodology applies)
But as I see it, there is no need to play around wit ha secondary CM, you don't need the CM to ensure optimization, when things are up and running.
You can easily change a CM to an accellerator by configuration and a reload, unless we're taking vWAAS, where the ova image is locked.
remember to take a backup of your CMS database and place it somewhere else, before starting upgrading.
Best Regards

Looking for the Proper WAAS Upgrade Path

A while back I started upgrading some of our WAAS 274/574 devices and once I got halfway through I relized I was on the wrong path to get the devices to accelerate and compress Native ICA for our Citrix sessions.
So Currently I have half our devices at 4.3.3c and the other half at 4.4.7
So my questions are....
What is the latest greatest version that I should be at for Native ICA Acceleration?
What is the best upgrade/downgrade path I should take to get there?

Dan,
It is recommended/required to run 4.2.1 (or a later version) before you install Version 5.3.1
You cannot upgrade from 4.0, 4.1, or 4.2 to 5.3.1 since it is NOT supported
Here you have a link about it:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/waas/v531/release/notes/ws531xrn.html#wp63349
Please see the hardware specifications
Hope this helps!

Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X?

Is there an upgrade path from Final Cut Studio 3.0 to Final Cut Pro X ?

The price of FCPX pretty much is the cost of the upgrade of FCPStudio, but a much better value (at least so far -- every update has been free.) However, it's only the single app so you might feel like you're not getting as much for your money. Don't be fooled. Most of Color and Soundtrack Pro are built into FCPX. FCPX will conform video automatically so Cinema Tools aren't really needed anymore. The Motion engine is part of FCPX, although I do recommend buying Motion 5 (an extra 50 bucks.) (Motion 4 seems to have died in Yosemite - you can't even launch it.)
I "upgraded" from Final Cut Studio 3... it took me about a week to decide to pack up all the old software for good. YMMV. However, if you use DVD Studio Pro... hang on to that.

Upgrade path from ODI 10.1.3.5

Hello Friends,
We are using ODI 10.1.3.5. Like to get some recommendations on upgrade path from 10.1.3.5.
I read that we need to first upgrade to 10.1.3.6.x before considering upgrade to 11G release.
I guess, this might be in consideration to upgrade with minimal change with patch upgrade to 10.1.3.6.x than upgrading to big change 11G release.
If we have to upgrade to one safe step with not of a big impact/change to users and projects...what release upgrade-to is ideal? 10.1.3.6.x?
Appreciate your response!! Thanks.

Thanks for the information. If we have to upgrade to a latest release 11G it looks we can from 10.1.3.5, any suggestions we should consider 11.1.1.5 or 11.1.1.3? Not sure if these release are in sync with target KM's like Essbase & Planning on EPM front we are on 11.1.1.3

Upgrade path from HFM 9.3.1.4 to Fusion 11.1.2

Is there an upgrade path from HFM 9.3.1.4 to Fusion 11.1.2? I see in the EPM 11.1.1.3 config guide that there was an upgrade section, but this seems to be missing from the 11.1.2 config guide. How do we move an existing application from 9.3.1.4 to 11.1.2? Does it have to be rebuilt via extracts and loads? Don't we lose information that way? (audit logs, reconsolidate, etc.)

I have heard there is no upgrade utility for 9.3.1 to 11.1.2. You would need to recreate the app. There will soon be an upgrade available for 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.1. Not sure on the timing, but the last time I spoke with support they were saying sometime in Nov/Dec.

Standard Upgrade Path from VMWare Server?

I've been using VMWare Server for years to test my software. Specifically I have 2 "beige box" PCs running CentOS running VMWare Server running various versions of Windows Server as domain controllers and file servers as well as numerous workstations. I have a complete mini multi-domain Windows network. When I run the tests for my software it really pushes the 2-3 vms involved with a lot of network communication and some disk activity.
With care and some brute force this has worked well. At least I don't need a stack of PCs. And it's free so it's hard to complain. But unfortunately it's not terribly reliable. The web interface stops working - sometimes only after a day. Clocks drift causing authentication issues. Generally bad things happen if I try to run more than 2 images on the same server. I've gotten to be pretty good at combating these problems but I'm hoping to find something a little more reliable.
So now I'm willing to actually pay for something (gah!) and I would like to upgrade. But VMWare has so many products I just have no idea what I should be looking for.
What is the standard upgrade path from VMWare Server?
Mike

Ok. Two people say use ESXi so I guess I'll just try to burn an ESXi DVD and see what it's like. But ...
Is performance really good enough to compile large projects and do backups over and so on?
VMware Server has worked well enough for me over the years but performance was not like real hardware. But the real problem was reliability. If I ran more than 2 VMs at a time, eventually they would just get their tentacles in a tangle and I would have to kill them and delete lock files and bah! I'm going to assume by your endorsement that ESXi doesn't have any of these problems.
Also, the machine I'm using is a lowly DELL i660 i3-3240 with 8GB of memory. I paid $429 USD for it at a local consumer electronics store! This is no server. Will it even work?

If you mean from Photoshop 12.x (CS5) to Photoshop 13.x, the answer is YES.
If you actually meant from Photoshop 5.x to Photoshop 6.x, then the answer would be NO. Those are ancient programs that have been out of any upgrade loop for well over a decade.

Upgrade path from Unity / Exchange to Unity Connection 7.1

Has anyone found (perhaps doesn't exist) an upgrade path from Unity / Exchange 4.1 to Unity Connection 7.1?

It will likely require a new server, but I just performed this migration. You also have to be on Unity 4.0(5) or higher in order to perform the migration. You use the COBRAS Export tool for Unity to grab the majority of system data and the COBRAS Import tool for Connection to migrate data over. Read up on COBRAS here:

If you have other questions, let me know.

What are all the possible upgrade paths from Tiger to Snow Leopard?

What is are all the ways to upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard?
Can I buy the 29.00 Snow Leopard upgrade? Or is my only path forward to do the Snow Leopard box set for Tiger? I know my model isn't support but this is a question about the upgrade path from Tiger to Snow Leopard.
Thanks in advance.
Todd

I have a Power PC dual 2 gig G5 running OS X 10.4.10. I know at some point that Leopard will not support the power PC platform, but I also know I probably will have one more upgrade path before my computer is no longer supported. I have not upgraded because My machine runs perfect. But I also know that a lot of my software will not run when I upgrade. Pro Tools, Maya,Mocha, various plug ins for Pro Tools. What path should I take to my final upgrade to the latest OS?
Thanks in advance

Is there a single download available, or some other way, with out having to purchase a complete package such as iLife for upgrading just the one application of iWeb?

Upgrade path from CS1 to CS3.3 OK ?

Hello
anyone could tell me for sure ( I have had conflicting infos ) if I can upgrade my old CS1 with a brand new CS3.3 premium upgrade ?

And where exactly do you intend to buy such a thing. As Steve points out it has been several years. Additionally, there were several versions of the CS3.3 upgrade.
One was from CS3 to CS3.3 which only contained an Acrobat upgrade and another from earlier versions of Creative Suite. In fact I'm not even sure if there were separate upgrades from CS and CS2.
In short, there are a lot of bogus copies of sofware out there. Be very careful.

Upgrade ONS15454 MSTP from 7.0 to 9.8

Hi all
I would like to some help that customer need to upgrade ONS15454 MSTP from version 7.0 to 9.8. So, I may need some help
1. how to upgrade it ?a
2. Is it possible to direct upgrade to 9.8?
3. I saw many file information in cisco web site, and which one i must to download it ? ( ONS 15454 R9.8.0 System Software for MultiService Transport Platform, ONS 15454 R9.8.0 System Software for Multiservice Transport Platform - Lite Version for TCC2P/TCC3 -WSON) I do not know which one is to using
4. what should i know that my card support version 9.8? In my idea, i think it should be support but i may need confirm or information from this before. (my card have OSC-CSM, OPT-PRE, AD-2C, MXP-10DME and TCCP2)
5. Have any interrupt between upgrade ? and Is it upgrade in each TCCP2? because that may help when card reset or reboot. And the traffic still flow to another TCC2P.
Thanks
V

1. I try to using your upgrade tool, my ONS15454 is SDH version 7.0 so, I can choose only 9.3 for destination version. It means that i must to upgrade to 9.3 first and then go to 9.6 and 9.8, Correct?
yes it is true you go directly to 9.3.0, it is not a multi-shelf node.
please be sure that your software version is 7.0.0.
So upgrade path is 7.0.0 to 9.3.0
2. Is it possible to upgrade without downtime ? as my understand that ONS15454 have 2 site (east and west), Can i do upgrade east site before west site? and when finish upgrade east site and go to upgrade west site after that, can i ?
becase as i understand when finish upgrade per site all card in that site will reboot, so, i think that another site will take the traffic without downtime. I don't sure that i am correct or not if you have any mention please let's me know
no not possible without downtime,
there will be a traffic hit or 10seconds or less than that, it you are using MXP_MR_2.5G cards without Y-cable protection. same for GE_XP cards there will be a traffic loss for few seconds.
yes you can upgrade east node and after that upgrdae west node, but not like doing upgrade to 9.8 for one node and another still on 7.0
3. I don't have multishelf, i just have one shelf per site
4. I have plan to upgrade to customer soon, but i may need to give a plan for them. But right now, i may confuse about the way and solution to upgrade that include how and impact to upgrade.
1. There will be a traffic impact on MXP and GE_XP card for less than 10 seconds.
2. If MXP client ports are y-cable provisioned, than upgrade will be error less, in case of Y-cable protection just lock protection before proceeding to upgrade.
3. traffic will impact as MXP cards have to do FPGA upgrade also and for this they will take a reboot, but in case of y-cable other card is taking over.
4. As you have TCC2P card, so always select lite versions, if its SDH than SDH-DWDM.
5. also if possible, arrange spare TCC2P card, atleast one at each site, just to be on safe side.
6. here is the path which you have to follow:
7.0.0 to 9.3.0
9.3.0 to 9.6.0
9.6.0 to 9.8.0
also please feel free to reach for any queries.
