[cisco-voip] applying a second restore to a newly built cluster - license files?

[Tommy Schlotterer]

Lelio,

Once you install the latest refresh.cop file you do not have to rehost your licenses to upgrade to 9. You can do the following: (per the jump upgrade guide):

Install fresh 7.X server on Vmware (Using the same IP addresses and hostnames)
Install upgrade.cop
Restore your DRS Backup
Upgrade to 9.x
DRS Backup


Create fresh 9.x server – To align your partitions
Restore DRS backup

Thanks

Tommy

OK, so here's where I'm at. Probably not a recommended or common activity, but it's where we're at. I've accepted the fact I might have to start over again.

I've (1) rebuilt a v7 CallManager cluster in the lab, (2) restored from backup, (3) applied new re-hosted licenses, (4) applied the Refresh COP file and (5) upgraded successfully to v9. That process has been tested a few times.

In order to test the rebuild/restore process for IPCCx v7, we stopped at step (3). Unfortunately, we found we had to make a few changes, so to speed things along, I restored a more recent backup to the lab cluster.

I'm just wondering, what the chances are of me being able to upgrade the v7 CallManager cluster to v9 after I completed another restore between steps (3) and (4). Should I apply the rehosted license file again? It's there, listed in the license files.

Also, I noticed that after I upload the rehosted license files, the old ones are still there. Should I remove those?

Thanks everyone.

Lelio
