<div>This is my issue also. I also bought it up at CIPTUG this year. Historically UCCx upgrades have not been the best in the first place.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Responses I got were. put your UCCx on its own cluster. (not an option for me)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>replace hardware / do upgrade along side (no $$$s for that)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Deal with it (my default option) I told Wade (CM BU) I would like to see UCCx as +/-1 compatible. Don't know if we will see it in the near future but he was open.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So when I upgrade from CM 4.1 to 6.1 I also have to upgrade UCCx 4.0 to 5.0, Xmedius, Berbee informaCast, Arc Console, School Messenger, etc. So I feel your indigestion.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As far as Unity... it should be able to integrate to more then one CM Cluster</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ICT trunk should work fine. if codecs are anything other then G711 might need transcoding.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you have the money for Hardware...... I would do a upgrade of both CM and UCCx hardware then do the switch during a small window. may even be able to use some old hardware to make the UCCx redundant. and setup a small IPT lab ;-)

<div>We are currently running CCM 4.1.3 with CRS (IPCC-X) version 3.5.4. Looking to upgrade to release 6.1 sometime next year but understand that we would also have to upgrade to CRS 5.0 at the same time. This is more than we wish to bite off during a maintenance window.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Wondering how others are dealing with this? One idea we have discussed is to build a new 4.1.3 cluster and migrate the CRS solution to it prior to upgrading to CCM 6. This leads me to a couple of more questions:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Would the agents be moved or could they operate cross cluster using ICT?</div>
<div>If we move the agents could they continue to use our existing Unity system on the original cluster?</div>
<div>What else am I missing!</div>
