[cisco-voip] Cisco OS 2000.4-3 OS Upgrade

[Madziarczyk, Jonathan]

I was in the same panic you were about 4.3a and the 4.4 upgrade.

4.4 was pulled for at least one bug.  CSCsh47276

My guess is that when they put 4.4 out there they moved 4.3a to the
archives section.  But obviously they haven't moved 4.3a back into the
main directory since they pulled 4.4.  They've just done a poor job of
documenting the fact that they pulled 4.4.

The answer I got from TAC was that they still are supporting 2.7OS now,
even though 4.2 and 4.3 are the recommended.  So the "support ends March
2007" is more of a suggestion than a mandate.  Plus to say that they are
stopping support in 8 weeks when there isn't even a working version of a
supported operating system isn't really enough lead time to force all
the CCM/CER/CallCenter/etc. users to change over.  

I'd highly doubt Cisco could even upgrade their own systems in that time
without devoting significant time to the upgrade.

Hope this information is helpful.

2000.4.3a was not removed from CCO. These OS releases are moved to the
archive once a new release hits CCO. Click the second link on the
CallManager & Voice Apps Crypto Software page, "CallManager & Voice Apps
Crypto Software Archive".

I've seen it in multiple places, but the one I see most often is the
Cisco IP Telephony Operating System, SQL Server, Security Updates page
at:

Next to the 4-2 and 4-3a upgrade files it says support ends 20-Mar-2007

As for 4-3 being pulled for a bug, that was just a guess.  I saw a few
bugs posted on the 4-3 upgrade with certain IBM servers, but they all
had workarounds.

 Patrick,

Can you provide a link where this information is specified from Cisco?

------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps 4.3 was removed for a similar problem.  Neither one being
removed is a nice thing since support for 4.x OS versions below 4.4 are
supposed to end towards the end of March.
