[cisco-voip] UCCX 8.5.1sr3 to sr4 to Refresh Upgrade 10.5.1

[Anthony Holloway]

Wow.  Are you going MCS to UCS too?  If not, I'm doing that exact upgrade
very soon and no documentation I have reviewed indicated how long upgrades
would take, let alone 5 hours.  Right now my plan has a time budget of 3
hours for the same, which does not include moving ISOs to the datastore (I
like doing local upgrades) nor upgrading clients.

Which portion is taking 5 hours?  Could you break it down by task for us?
E.g., L2 to SU4, Switch Version to SU4, RU COP, RU to 10.5, Switch Version
to 10.5.

Did you disable IO Throttling first?

Based on my research here are the summary steps to this exact upgrade (sans
client upgrades):

1. Upload ISOs to DataStore
2. Disable IO Throttle on Publisher
3. Mount 8.5(1)SU4 ISO
4. Upgrade Publisher to 8.5(1)SU4
5. Switch Version to 8.5(1)SU4
6. Patch Publisher with RU COP
7. Shutdown Publisher
8. Modify VM Settings: RAM from 4GB to 8GB
9. Power On Publisher
10. Mount 10.5(1)SU1 ISO
11. Upgrade Publisher to 10.5(1)SU1
12. Switch Version to 10.5(1)SU1
