[cisco-voip] Testing phone firmware updates prior to rollout.

[Jeff Ruttman]

I've not run ver 7, but in version 6.1 anyway I did this:

In the Device Defaults page, I noted the Load Information for the phone
model I wanted to try with a new phone load.

Installed the new phone load.

Back on the Device Defaults page, the Load Information field for the
phone in question was changed to reflect the new load.  I edited the
field to put it back to the original phone load but also noted what the
new phone load name was.

Finally, on the phone(s) I wanted to test the new phone load, in the
device config there is a field in which you can specify the load you
want to use for that particular phone.  In there I entered the new phone
load name and then restarted the phone.

That worked for me in ver 6.1; maybe it will work similarly in ver 7?

Thanks
jeff

Can anyone share a method for testing phone firmware on a limited set of
phones?

I've installed a TAC recommended firmware update in CUCM 7.0 per the
readme, but now TAC tells me that once I restart the TFTP service, all
phones in the organization will begin downloading the updated firmware.

Thanks in advance.
