<p class=MsoNormal>Hi<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I have been struggeling with this upgrade
for some some now. I hope someone can cast som light on the matter<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We are running an MCS-7835 with 6.1.3.3190
on. This server does not support 8.0. We also have a new IBM Server that now
has a clean install of 8.0.0 on it. The server supports 8.0, and is ordered to
Cisco spec. But it will not support 6.1.3 nor 7. So I have a gap between 6.1.3
and 8.0 here.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>This I hoped to resolv by installing a
clean 6.1.3.3190 server in vmware, restoring the DRS backup from our production
server, and then upgrade this to 8 and do a DRS backup again. Restore to the
new server and voila :D. Sounds like a good plan ? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><br>
I tought so too, but its not as easy as it seems…..<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I did a DRS, that went fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Made my 6.1.3.3190 clean install in vmware,
that went fine aswell.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Made a separate VLAN so that I could use
the actual IP’s without interfering with the production server.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>And did a DRS restore. All this went fine.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Now then. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>My ISO image of the upgrade file is called Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.0.99121-8.sgn.iso<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

SFTP with the same result. NO GO </span><span lang=EN-US style='font-family:

process. Failing on the Disks in vmware. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Does anyone have any good ideas for me ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I have been thinking of this bridged
upgrade, but my current hardware MCS 7835 with 6.1.3 will not recognize the ISO
