<DIV dir=ltr>I know you're asking about gotchas, but I threw in an extra comment or two as well.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Evidently OpenSSH is the only TAC supported SSH server for the migration. I've heard of issues when using other ssh servers.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I don't recall if this was clear in the training video from ciscounitytools.com (I think it was), but if you have multiple subscriber templates, make sure you create them on the new server prior to importing subscribers, otherwise you'll have to bulk edit the subscribers afterwards. You'll also have to import users assigned to each template separately, so you'll have to take the source csv file from the migration tool and parse out users associated with each template into a separate, identical file and run the import for each template group individually.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I installed Unity Connection 1.2(1) in vmware and restored the original server from the last backup and referenced it for recreating the call handlers, etc. and for recovering any greetings or messages I missed.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>I imported old messages, but none of them were delivered to the end users, so make sure you test that. I haven't spent a lot of time investigating the reason though.<BR><BR>HTH.</DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Planning to upgrade Unity Connection at a regional campus from 1.2 to 2.x next month, curious if anyone has run into any gotchas with it. The documentation on doing a migration seemed to be kind of "lite" out on <A href="http://cisco.com/" target=_blank>cisco.com</A>.<BR><BR>As part of the upgrade I also need to upgrade CM from 4.1.3 to 4.2. Unfortunately I don't have the time to plan a full blown migration to version 6, it will have to wait till next summer. I'd just wait and do it all at once next summer, but they are going to need more mailbox licenses at some point this year and UC 1.x is EoS already.<BR><BR>I'm aware that I can migrate user accounts and messages but not any call handlers, distro lists, etc. and found the migration tool out on CiscoUnityTools.com. What a pain :) My hardware appears to be supported for this upgrade (7835H-H1 server).<BR><BR clear=all>Thanks!<BR>-- <BR>Ed Leatherman<BR>Senior Voice Engineer<BR>West Virginia University<BR>Telecommunications and Network Operations<BR></DIV></DIV><pre>
