[cisco-voip] Unity Connection 8.0.3 to 8.6

[Mike]

Tim.

 

I want to jump to 8.6.2(a) with minimal steps and I was hoping I could
export from 8.0.3 and import to 8.6.2(a) is that not possible?

 

 

Thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike,

 

Just to understand, what are you trying to gain by using COBRAS?

Maybe a phased migration of users?

 

Why not just the straight DRS server replacement method below?

You would only have a small window between when you take backup and when you
get restored version online where voicemails would not be taken.

 

Is it a HA pair or just single box?

The other method with HA is to setup a new box and let it replicate.

 

All the details on the server replacement are here

Cheers,

 

Tim

I have to move from an MCS to  UCS in VMware and wondered if I could cut
some steps using Cobras.
 
I could build same version in VMware with the same IP address then DRS ,
change IP address then upgrade to 8.6.
 
With Cobras I should be able to build 8.6 with new IP address on UCS and
then export from 8.0.3 and import to 8.6
 
But..what am I losing using Cobras?
 
Thanks,
Mike
