[cisco-voip] CM 8.6 to 9.1

[Stephen Welsh]

Hi Lelio,

I believe the provisioning improvement you are referring too is the ability for end users to ‘self-provision’. My understanding it enables end users to setup a fresh phone on their desk as part of an initial deployment etc. basically a replacement for TAPS. They login to their phone using their UCM User details (aka AD user if integrated) and a pre-loaded profile is deployed to the phone.

ASAIK it’s a phone firmware level feature that as long as the phone is on the desired software level it uses the new User Data Service (UDS) API to authenticate and configure the device.

Personally I’m keen to see how this feature is implemented, i.e. will the user have to login twice if extension mobility is enabled ;)

Kind Regards.

Stephen Welsh

Yup, I totally hear ya there. It did sound genuine though. They basically said they've done themselves a disservice with their new numbering scheme, with people staying away from "dot oh". Oh well. What are ya gonna do?

Apparently there are going to be some provisioning improvements in v10, but I'm not sure what those will entail. No data sheet out yet, but the front page of v10 mentions: "Offering end-user self-provisioning and self-care"

I've heard that speech from Cisco AMs and SEs every X.0 release and I end up having to talk reality to customer that had a bit to much coolaid for the week .. I learned my lesson with 4.0...
My clients don't need to be a test bed for Cisco, we'll wait until a few SRs are out or until 10.1

We are planning on moving from v7 to v9 in April, ahead of the UCCx v7 EOS date.

I'm planning on using a modified jump upgrade, going from MCS (equivalent) servers to MCS (equivalent) servers.

I've prepared my offline network with the servers required, i.e. NTP, DNS, sFTP, etc. I don't have AD, so I will simply turn on AD sync.

I'm currently working on a rough migration and blackout test plan. Once I've got those hammered down, I will share with the list for comment.

We were strongly encouraged to go to v10, but third party interoperability (as well as CUE) prevents us from doing so. I had the same concerns of going to a dot oh release, but our account team commented that the versioning has changed the concept, ten dot oh, is not necessarily a rewrite, or has huge changes. I was 'this' close to asking, then why do I need UCSS for it? ;)
