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.
