[cisco-voip] Migrating from CUCM 7.1.3 to CUCM 8.6.2

[Madziarczyk, Jonathan]

The word on the street is that while it does not officially "support"
79x0 phones, they will run.  Maybe one of the Cisco guys can speak to
this.

I thought 9.1 supported 7940/60 phones?

We've proposed "drive to 9.x" to many customers recently and the biggest
argument against this that we've hit was that most of our clients are
running 79x0 phones which will not be supported, all of these clients
budgeted for the upgrade, UCS and professional services but not the
phones, even with incentives from Cisco this has been a giant hurdle.
Most have decided to stop at 8.6 and will budget for phones next year.

I'm interested in migrating to CUCM 8.6.2 running on VMs considering
that 7.1.x is getting closer to the end of support.  I've been working
to determine the appropriate process to follow, but have a question that
is not addressed in the documentation that I reviewed.  Both of our
current servers are model 7835-H2, which is only supported for use in a
bridge upgrade, not for production use.  The system requirements for
8.6.x call for 4 GB RAM and 146 GB disks.  Our servers currently have 2
GB RAM and 72 GB disks.  Will I be able to use these servers for the
bridge upgrade even though they don't meet these requirements?

Thanks for any input.
