[cisco-voip] UCM upgrade to 8.0(2)

[Matthew Loraditch]

Was that in the release notes anywhere, I don't see it? That makes no sense. There should be a warning on the download or something.
Also now 8.0.2b is apparently out, does this still apply to that release??

Interesting information. According to this message and the associated URL, UCM 8.0(2) is ONLY supported on VMware ESXi 4.0. MCS servers are supported in "Bridged upgrade" which means you can upgrade to it then run DRS backup and restore to a 8.0(2) VMware installation.


The document "Tech tip: Move current CUCM to VMware", was updated Apr 30, 2010 by QD Wang.

Document:

--------------------------------------------------------------

At the moment, Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0(2) is supported on VMware ESXi 4.0 over Cisco UCS B200M1 and UCS-B200M1-VCS1 servers.  All other CUCM versions like 6.X, 7.X, 8.0(1) or servers are not supported on VMware.



For more detailed support information, please refer *Table 1.* Supported Hypervisors by Server http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/ps5748/ps378/prod_brochure0900aecd8062a4f9.html



If the customers wants to move their current CUCM 6.X or 7.X to VMware, they can 1. Upgrade their CUCM to version 8.0(2) on the current MCS servers. Although CUCM 8.0(2) is not supported on MCS servers, it does support "bridged upgrade" to migrate to newer hardware.



2. Make a backup of your software configuration via the Disaster Recovery System utility



3. Install the Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.0(2) on VMware virtual machine.



4. Restore your software configuration from DRS backup.
