[cisco-voip] Upgrading CUCM from 8.5 to 10.5

Thu Mar 26 15:26:34 EDT 2015

Hmmm… Subject line says “from 8.5” but message body says “from 8.6”. Perhaps he’s referring to 8.5?

If you are then keep in mind the upgrade will require not only the version3-keys.cop file, but you’ll need to install the refresh_upgrade file as well. See the ReadMe:

I don't understand your question/concern.

Both documents are saying the same thing: you can direct upgrade from 8.6(1).

Hi All

Just checking through documentation for CUCM 10.5 for an upgrade, the compatibility guide states that a direct upgrade is from 8.6.1 onwards as shown below.

However in the Read Me notes for 10.5.2 Su1 it states the following

Version and Description

This SU is a cumulative update that incorporates all of the fixes and changes from Cisco Unified Communications Manager 10.5(2) along with additional changes that are specific to this SU.

Note

You can only install this SU on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.1(4x), 6.1(5x), 7.1(3x), 7.1(5x), 8.0(x), 8.5(1x), 8.6(x), 9.0(x), 9.1(x), 10.0(1), 10.5(1), or 10.5(2) This SU will not install over any 10.5(2)ES’s. Upgrades from 6x, 7x, 8.x, and 9.x need to be requested via PUT (www.cisco.com/upgrade<http://www.cisco.com/upgrade>) to obtain the necessary license. This SU should not be installed on a Business Edition 3000 server.

I would normally always go with what is says in the compatibility matrix, however my colleague has just done an upgrade albeit in a lab from 8.5.1 direct to 10.5.2 SU1.

Anyone know if he just got lucky or if that is now supported?

Regards

Nick
