<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>A customer of ours is requesting an upgrade from CUCM 6.1.2 &#8211;
CUCM 8.x. I have not seen CUCM 8.x, and according to the Cisco&#8217;s
Compatibility Matrix, there is an upgrade for this. Has anyone had a similar
request, or maybe did this already?<o:p></o:p></p>

patch? Re-install from scratch, and restoring? DMA?<o:p></o:p></p>
