[cisco-voip] CUCM Export

[Jason Faraone]

Wouldn't you lose CDR data from the initial backup while the upgrade was being performed?

Do you have an extra MCS available?

I know it is a lot of steps but it would provide minimal disruption:  What I would do is backup the current 6.1.3 and restore to the 'spare' MCS.  Upgrade on that to 8.0, backup and restore to VMWare. Upgrade to 9.1.   With all required penalty trips to licensing, of course.

All MACs would need to be done twice until you flip the switch on the DHCP option 150 settings.  I might upgrade the phone firmware to match 9.1 before flipping the switch on option 150.  You can minimize downtime if you use peer firmware sharing, provided you have phones that support it.

Maybe someone else has a simpler solution.

Hi all,

Have a query regarding building a Call Manager from scratch using a BAT export from another. Basically have to upgrade a 6.1.3 cluster on hardware to 9.1 an VMware. This site is a 24/7 operation using Extension Mobility. To do the upgrade it will need to be in 3 steps.....upgrade 6.1.3 to 8.0.3....backup to VMware....refresh upgrade to 9.1. This is going to cause more outages than the site can tolerate.

My question is can anyone see any issues with taking a BAT Export of the config on 6.13 and then importing it on the a new build of 9.1 with same IP details / Hostname - then making sure all configuration is the same between the two and unplugging old and plugging in new?


1)      I would assume all user / application passwords / PINs would be lost

2)      Possible certificate issues (but as verion 6 doesn't have Security by Default) should be ok?

Anyone done an upgrade like this?

Thanks
Russell
