[cisco-voip] CCX 11.5 Upgrade Issues

Wed Oct 26 05:18:32 EDT 2016

I saw something similar with a fresh install / upgrade (from 11.0 to 11.5 -
didn't have a bootable 11.5 ISO) I attempted last week.

Found that the upgrade via GUI wouldn't successfully complete.  It would
get to the section that mentions releasing the upgrade lock but never
actually does so.  I posted on the cisco forums and it was suggested to do
the upgrade via cli.  This did complete successfully, but like you
encountered, services wouldn't start on the first boot following upgrade.
I completed a subsequent reboot and things came up as expected.

Was in between moving employers so haven't managed to get back to the home
lab to take any further look at logins unfort.
