Would recommend you follow the listed process for upgrading CUCM and moving to a virtualized environment<br><a href="http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/virtual/servers.html#wp42985">http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/virtual/servers.html#wp42985</a><br>
<br>In cases where you're building out a new cluster, I'd consider the following:<br>-take DRS backup of 6x cluster<br>-install 6x from DRS backup on temporary server (non virtualized)<br>-upgrade temporary server to target version<br>
-take DRS backup<br>-install target version w/ DRS backup on virtualized server<br>-build out remainder of virtualized cluster<br><br>-matthew<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am currently attempting a CUCM upgrade from 6.1 to 8.6.<br>
<br>
I am doing this in a bridge fashion side by side with my current active environment.<br>
<br>
I am wondering if anyone has had experience with this type of upgrade?<br>
<br>
My initial plan was to build a call manager in VMware running 6.1.5(SU3) and do a restore of my active data set.<br>
<br>
This worked successfully.<br>
<br>
I am now in the process of trying to upgrade the VMware box to version 8.6 so I can extract the data set in this version.<br>
<br>
When conducting the upgrade I get the following error in the install log<br>
<br>
-------This hadware is no longer supported for "callamanger" deployment------<br>
<br>
I did however manage to upgrade to 7.1.2 as I thought by stepping the upgrade I may have more success but this did not work.<br>
<br>
Has anyone had success upgrading in this fashion?<br>
<br>
It may I am missing a requirement in the bridge process?<br>
<br>
Any assistance will be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Scott<br>
