[cisco-voip] Unity Connection 8.0.3 to 8.6

[Tim Smith]

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
