[cisco-voip] Upgrade CM 4.1(3) to 7.X exchanging MCS and phones

[Go0se]

On the link you sent there is an "upgrading the Cisco Unified Communications
Manager First Node" section. See steps 1, 16, 17, and 18 under that section.
If you have a valid DMA file it is relatively "no big deal".

 

I'm not familiar with the "replace servers" doc but the procedure is the
same either way - if you have new hardware or if you are re-using the old
hardware - during the CM7 install simply say "yes" when it asks if you wish
to import data from a windows version of Callmanager.

Hi Go0se,

Thank you for your reply,

 

So database output from DMA simply can be generated on the old server and
imported on the new one? No big deal?

I read the link you sent plus this

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/upgrade/7_0_1/upg
rd701.html

 

I'm not able to find out this information.

 

I remember I saw some docs which explain how to replace servers during the
upgrade, but I could not find it anymore.

 

Thanks

Marcelo

Your procedure sounds pretty good to me but I would do your step 3 first
<soapbox>licensing is always a headache</soapbox>

 

Step 2 - during the initial setup of UCM 7 there is an "import windows data"
section that you answer YES to and then it will eventually allow you to
import the DMA database dump via SFTP, FTP, or file (DVD).

As a side note the last time I did an upgrade DMA overlooked MoH files. I
don't know if this has been fixed in the newer versions.

Hello,

We are about to migrate an IPT scenario from version 4.1(3) to 7.0(1) or
maybe 7.1(2).
Customer will exchange MCS servers and all phones by new ones.

I'm trying to figure out the steps to accomplish that:

1 - Run DMA on the old MCS server;
2 - Install CM7 on the new MCS and import DMA database (I'm not sure if this
is possible);
3 - Get the license from Cisco;
4 - Export all phones detailed through Bulk Administration (on the new
server);
5 - On a spreadsheet update all MAC address;
6 - Delete all old phones on the new server;
7 - Import all new phones;

Is this the way? 

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Marcelo
