[cisco-voip] CUCM 6 Upgrade Questions

Wed Oct 29 15:03:05 EDT 2008

Steve,

I think I see your confusion now. 6.1.2.1000-13 needs to be the active
version (on active partition) to apply 6.1.2su1. The version on inactive
partition is unimportant during an upgrade only the active partition is
examined for upgrade compatibility.

The reason cluster 2 couldn¹t find a valid upgrade is that you can only
upgrade to a newer version that what is on your active partition. So in
Cluster 2¹s case, since 6.1.2.1000-13 is already on the active partition,
you wouldn¹t be able to attempt an upgrade to 6.1.2.1000-13.

Does that help?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the feedback ....in both cases below it looks like you are
loading 6.1.2su1 on the in-active partition  which is running 6.1.1. That
can be worked around on Cluster 1 but not Cluster 2.

Hi Steve,

I read through the readme to su1 and it does look like you will have to go
to 6.1.2.1000-13 first. Here is the procedures:

Cluster 1 (6.1.1b):

Upgrade Pub to 6.1.2.1000-13 (installs to inactive)
Upgrade Subs to 6.1.2.1000-13 (installs to inactive)
Perform Switch Versions on Pub first then subs (This makes the 6.1.2.1000-13
partition active)
Upgrade Pub to 6.1.2su1
Upgrade Sub to 6.1.2su1
Perform Switch Versions on Pub first then subs (This makes the 6.1.2su1
partition active)

Cluster 2 (6.1.2.1000-13):

Since this cluster is already at 6.1.2.1000-13, you only need to perform the
later steps.
Upgrade Pub to 6.1.2su1
Upgrade Sub to 6.1.2su1
Perform Switch Versions on Pub first then subs (This makes the 6.1.2su1
partition active)

HTH

Got a couple of upgrade scenarios I would like to run by the group. Based on
some recent PSIRTs I am looking to upgrade to CUCM 6.1(2)su1 (6.1.2.1001-4)

Cluster 1

6.1.1b (6.1.1.3000.2) Active
nothing on the inactive partition.

Reading the release notes for 6.1(2)su1  it appears I would have to load
6.1.2 (6.1.2.1000-13) and then load 6.1(2)su1 (6.1.2.1001-4) on the inactive
partition. This seems easy enough if true then:

Cluster 2 

 6.1.2 (6.1.2.1000-13) Active partition
 6.1.1b (6.1.1.3000.2) Inactive partition

Reading the release notes it appears I would have to load 6.1.2
(6.1.2.1000-13) and then load 6.1(2)su1 (6.1.2.1001-4) on the inactive
partition. But when I try to do this the system does not recognize 6.1.2
(6.1.2.1000-13) as a valid upgrade file.  I know my SFTP is working because
I can see various other files available to load but it ignores the presence
of the 6.1.2 (6.1.2.1000-13) file. I wonder if this is because it is already
running on the active partition?

Thanks!
Steve
