[cisco-voip] 8.0 or 8.5

[Bill Riley]

I am at CUCM 6.1 and UCCX 5.0. So in order to go to 8.5 I have to go

UCCX 7.02 ->CUCM7.1 -> UCCX 8.0 -> CUCM 8.0 -> UCCX 8.5 -> CUCM 8.5

Also the end users are not allowed to have local admin rights so the CAD will not auto upgrade. Plus we are 24x7 and have thousands of calls an hour. 

I am thinking about building a new cluster offline of CUCM 8.5 and UCCX 8.5 and then swinging the sites over one by one.

I have heard through the grapevine that there are a number of defects on CCX 8.0 that are not resolved until 8.5. I've been meaning to spelunk the bug toolkit to try and identify them for my own planning.
Supposedly the bugs are HA related.

What is a pain though is you'll need to upgrade UCCX to 8.0, then upgrade CUCM to 8.0, THEN upgrade UCCX to 8.5 (assuming you are on some version less than 8 for both apps).
