In general you should be fine there. Make sure you do your phone loads prior to the upgrade so you don't get stuck with all the phones upgrading when you are trying to come back into production.<div><br></div><div>If you can do everything with the UCS cluster in a dead-net it will be less stressful watching that DRS restore go since you can leave the MCS servers up.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I sincerely hope you aren't planning to stay on 8.0(3) for any length of time. If you are a partner you should look into the migration scenarios for the Drive 2 Nine program (<a href="https://communities.cisco.com/community/partner/collaboration/migration" target="_blank">https://communities.cisco.com/community/partner/collaboration/migration</a>) for more info and how 9.1(2) will make this upgrade process easier for you. There is a customer portal with similar info in the works.</div>
