[cisco-voip] CM 8.6 to 9.1

[Tim Smith]

Hey guys,

The release notes, whats new etc are posted on CCO now.
It’s all here - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/docguide/10_0_1/CUCM_BK_C08E97F6_00_cucm-doc-guide-1001.html

My favourites..

-          CSS Inheritance for translation patterns – handy for tidying up the dial plan

-          Feature group template support for user synced from directory – automatically set some config to users as they are imported

-          Plug and play – auto config of auto reg phones (including IVR)

-          Universal line templates

I love all the automatic provisioning stuff, I think this is where it is at.
Self-care is alright, but I think the initial config should just be automatic

On the .0 stuff..
Even minor changes make room for bugs and issues. I wouldn’t necessarily avoid the .0 release all together. But I’d give it a few SU’s.
Although for BE6k, and small greenfield sites, I think some of the new features might make it worth the risk.
I got caught out with two deferrals for CWMS 1.5 MR1 and MR2 recently. They were just maintenance releases.

Cheers,

Tim

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.

The provisioning improvement in 10.0 is a single-cluster version of Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning.

We're still in the roll-out stages of the stand-alone product, and are looking at it more for allowing remote IT people to be able to provision and do MACD work on phones without having to have CUCM/UConn expertise.  Not sure what features are missing between the full-blown product and the integrated one in 10.0 however.  One of the weekly Cisco Prime Demo's covered it a few weeks ago.  http://bit.ly/PrimeDemo  probably would be a good place to attend and ask questions about it.
