<p class=MsoNormal>If it is risk vs. reward I think I will make my own decision
about that. I am asking if I run the DMA process does it cause any changes to
the call manager? I need to dump out this information and load it to a vmware

<p style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>THanks alot for the help. Does anyone know or
has anyone tried to use the DMA tool and restore the information to a VMware
server just to test the upgrade? I will not have access to the hardware before
I go onsite for these customers but can get the DMA file transferred to myself.
Also can I run this in the middle of the day? Will it stop the publisher
from functioning? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Best piece of advice I can offier is to allow plenty of time to run the DMA
tool and resolve any error or warnings before your planned cutover time. I've
had upgrades with no warnings and errors, then I've had upgrades that had two
days worth of TAC cases to get it all resolved before we got a good DMA tar
file. <br>
<br>
On the Unity upgrades make sure that your Unity server is talking to the
nearest DC/GC (see the reconfiguration guide for details - <a
href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/5x/upgrade/guide/ex/5xcuruge060.html"
target="_blank">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/unity/5x/upgrade/guide/ex/5xcuruge060.html</a>).
I had one upgrade where it had attached to a server across the WAN so the
AD synch part that should have been a twenty or thirty minute deal ended up
taking five hours... not something you want to hit cancel on in the middle, but
it did mean we blew through our maintenance window.<br>

<p>We're going to use a new MCS server this new server have 2GB RAM
and 72GB HDD. However the current server only have 18GB and
unfortunately the unit C only have 2.5GB of free space. Still I don't try to
run DMA but I don't know if the 4GB is strictly necessary.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>I have to migrate a CCM from 4.1 to 6.1 unfortunately the disk C: space is
not enough, in accordance to DMA requeriments 4GB is necessary, so after of
delete CDR and others files, I have 2.5GB of free space in unit C: in D only
200Mbps. Then my question is: is it strictly necessary 4GB in unit C in order
to run DMA? or 2.5GB will be enough, because I'm thinking export the .tar file
in other unit (maybe network unit) What other things can I delete into CCM in order
to get more space?<o:p></o:p></p>
