[cisco-voip] Upgrading CUCM from 8.5 to 10.5

Mon Sep 14 16:52:05 EDT 2015

I don’t know why this failed to connected when reading the release notes. Quite the brain fart… No OS = no SFTP = local mounting of ISO.

I believe the installs have to be on a NFS share for VMware.

Upgrades are just sftp from the cucm side.

I’m digging up this old thread once again.

With PCD v11 released, it’s great to see that remote SFTP sources can now be used, but it’s also disappointing to see it restricted to upgrades only. Does anyone know if there are plans to support migrations using a remote SFTP server? Is the issue of not supporting migrations that PCD can’t source an ISO from an external source while simultaneously storing and exporting UFF and DB data locally?

Thanks ahead of time.

Hi Adam,

Can you elaborate on this yet ?  :)    I never see any PCD software posted to cisco.com<http://cisco.com>, it always seems to require E-delivery download.     I'm not sure why that is, since all the other Prime Collaboration (Provisioning & Assurance) can be downloaded from cisco.com<http://cisco.com>

Thanks,

Justin

PCD is a great tool for single-site installs or upgrades in a lab environment. Biggest limitation of PCD when multisites are involved, since it pushes all ISOs from the PCD server. Maybe an ability to leverage ISOs on VMWare datastores instead of from the PCD server.

Just a note on this.

I have just completed a direct Hardware 8.5 to VM 10.5 with network changes using Prime collaboration deployment. No Cop files need to be installed, No jump upgrades, No restoring from backup. Really was a simple process.

If you haven’t used PCD I would strongly suggest taking a look next time you upgrade or install a new build.

10.5 is VM only, 8.6.1 usually was MCS hardware.

To upgrade you will need to 8.6.1 upgrade to 9.1 on MCS. Then 9.1 MCS to VM, the upgrade 9.1 to 10.5(2)SU1.

Supported vs the system will upgrade are two different things.

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
