As far as I can tell, the 187 are SIP only. It is SIP on my v7 cluster. 

Have you considered vg202+/vg204+?

They're basically a small density vg224 and can support all the protocols. A bit more pricey than an ATA though.

When you jump to 9.x the 187s can only do SIP (I think 7x and 8x support sccp as well) and all hell breaks loose.  From what I can tell you lose CPC disconnect and Power-denial.  That’s been my nightmare for the last 3 months.

Since the DRS backup and restore from an upgraded 9x onto a fresh 9x is acceptable in the Jump Upgrade in VMware I don’t see a problem with it on the physical side.
