<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#3A3A3A">i.e. build your virtual machines as mirror images of production environment, take DRS backup, restore to virtual environment (from 7 to 9 – this would be a jump upgrade)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#3A3A3A">CUCM in 6k is the same as a full CUCM (same with the other products) – this is not the same as BE3k or BE5k which are different builds / products.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#3A3A3A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#3A3A3A">Unity Connection also allows you to install 7 on virtual for upgrade purposes, and them upgrade to 9 (the original jump upgrade!)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#3A3A3A"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#3A3A3A">If for some reason, you couldn’t go that route, you could look at BAT export / imports for CUCM, and COBRAS for Unity Cxn.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#3A3A3A">Hope that helps!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
