[cisco-voip] CUCM 6.1(2) upgrade

[Craig Staffin]

Just my .02

Keep in mind that two years ago this was all windows based.  What was your
backout plan if your update failed and corrupted the database.  Most of the
time it was a full rebuild of the server somewhere around 4-6 hours.  Then
the subscribers.....

What they have given us is far better than anything we had in the windows
world.

With that being said they are starting to do some transferring of settings
in CUCM 7.  User facing features do get transferred.  I think it is only a
matter of time before when you go to switch versions it does a second
snapshot so you don't lose any data.
