[cisco-voip] DMA and upgrade at the same time?

[Wes Sisk]

Hi Lelio,

Some thunderbird prowess finally provided the answer:

********************
You can't do an upgrade during a W1.  You can do an upgrade followed by 
a W1 only if the DMA tarball was created for the version of software you 
upgraded to.  If it was not, you will most likely hit a DB failure.  If 
the software upgraded to is 6.1.2+, the W1 failure most likely would be 
due to detection of invalid DMA version versus active version.
********************

I also confirmed that a few individuals in TAC have observed successes 
performing upgrade and import.  These were primarily motivated by the 
availability of bootable media. For example:

1. use dma 7.1.3 to export your CM4.1.3 data
2. boot from your CM7.0.2 bootable media
3. select to upgrade during install
4. point to cm713 upgrade file on sftp server
5. let install proceed, it will trigger another reboot
6. after reboot install will start again. at this point select to import 
windows data and point to dma file on sftp server

Key being that you used dma for 7.1.3 and used CM version 7.1.3 as the 
final destination version.  This is just a workaround for not having 
7.1.3 bootable media.

Regards,
Wes
