<div>You're definitely going to want to use BAT Export/Import instead of screenshots or copy paste. Look at this small example:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the top, this is the default layout of the web page and we cannot see the full firmware filename. On the bottom, I have manipulated the HTML DOM to increase the size of the text input fields to show you the hidden portion.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><img src="cid:ii_14ac017701ab653d" class="x_i4" style="max-width:100%"></div>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div>In short, BAT Export/Import eliminates typing and thus typos, and it's faster.<br>

What I have done in some past upgrades is to copy/paste everything on Device Defaults page (or screen shot it). Deactivate TFTP service on all nodes - so it can't even start following any necessary reboots. Install the upgrade. Go back to Device Defaults page
and set everything back how you like it. Activate TFTP service on all nodes where you had previously deactivated it.

<div dir="ltr">Correct, ordinarily that would be what I would do as well. In this case though, I am trying to avoid upgrading the firmware on anything, other than the devices I am trying to get support for.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I need to install a device pack on a 2 node 9.1(2) CCM cluster to get support for some 88xx phones but I do not want to update the loads for anything else.<br>
<br>
The approach I am going to use is:<br>
<br>
Drop the publisher out of the CM Group, forcing all phones to the subscriber. Install the device pack on the publisher and reboot the publisher. Once the publisher is backup, set all the device defaults back to what I want them to be then add the publisher
back to the CM Group. Then drop the subscriber from the CM Group forcing all the phones on the publisher and start the install process over for the subscriber. Once everything is back up add the subscriber back to the CM Group.<br>
<br>
Does that sound reasonable or is there an easier way?<br>

<br>
Any time I've needed device support I just install it on all the nodes then reboot them one at a time during a maintenance window. As long as both nodes are running call processing, they'll fail over when the node reboots. Not sure about on 9.X, but on 10.X
this just shows as a blip on the phones of them reregistering, not a full reboot. Obviously if you install new software for those phones, they'll upgrade software when they reboot.<br>
