[cisco-voip] upgrade path question

[Nate VanMaren]

I don't see anything wrong with the stated plan.

Here is the doc

Okay,

I was under the impression that the following wasn't supported but a Cisco partner put this in their upgrade plan for moving from 6.1.3 to 8.6(2a).

"Install an exact VM copy of the current Call Manager including the ES/SRs on the new UCS Hardware.
Export a copy of the current Call Manager Publisher database and restore it on the new VM. Change the
IP Address of the new virtualized Publisher to match the new IP scheme and clean up any IP Addresses &
Service URLs that pointed towards the old environment. Proceed to upgrade the Publisher to version
8.0(3) then to 8.6(2a)."

I've never seen this in any of the supported upgrade methods in any Cisco document.  It would also seem you'd run into licensing issues.  I also thought someone here wanted to do something similar and the finding was the database would still be marked as unsuppoted.  Maybe I'm remembering incorrectly.

Thanks!
