[cisco-voip] 8.0 or 8.5

[Jason Aarons (US)]

I hope you have H323/SIP dial peers and not MGCP, or are you setting up a Intercluster Trunk, etc?

Is your IOS high enough to have the SCCP 8.0+ keyword for sccp resoucrce registration (mtp, cfb, transcoding) ?

I've done what your doing before, it has it's own set of headaches.  I once had two clustesr, one got upgraded and everybody got moved, other got upgraded, everybody moved, never really stopped as back in the 4x days we had so many bugs you didn't want to just upgrade production..

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).
