[cisco-voip] CM 4.1

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

We are planning on going from 3.3(3)sr4a to 4.1(2)srX in April. It's rumoured 4.1(3) will be out at that time, but we won't have had enough time to test to implement that.

The biggest problem will be that you have to read all the release notes from your version and on. Going from 3.3(4) poses a bit of an issue, since there were features released in 3.3(4) that were not included in 4.0(x). You'll have to check with your Acct.Team/TAC to make sure that every new feature you are using in 3.3(4) is included. 

One problem we will face is the asthetic difference on the phones for the new loads. What makes it more difficult is that many of those difference are not documented (nor does it sound like they will be). I've got a case open with the TAC to confirm whether or not these were missed or simply not documented. And if not documented, what is the chance of documenting these in the future. We can't be expected to upgrade phone loads without being prepared for whatever differences they may bring. For example, I'm upgrading to the latest 7912 firmware and it changes the menu spacing which forces the directory application off to the next page. 

I'm hoping the list will share any 'gotchas' during/after the upgrade process. One I know of is that voicemail ports are handled a little differently and require reconfiguration before voicemail access is 100% available after an upgrade.

  Anyone on the list using CM 4.1?  Did you upgrade from 3.3.4?  If so,
  any problems upgrading?  I'm going to upgrade as soon as it comes off
  limited deployment.  

  Thanks

  Scott
