<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Based on the UCCX tech note I found, I’d say the shutdown and final modifications should be made after a full switch version is performed and you’re running
the upgrade release on your active partitions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">This differs from the official word from Cisco on CUCM, which is to adjust the virtual machine resources to match the OVA template specifications before the
upgrade is performed. However, also according to official documentation, changing the vNIC to VMXNET3 through PowerCLI should be done post-upgrade.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Personally I’ve seen all these modifications being performed after the upgrade is completed and version switched with no negative impact whatsoever, but official
documentation and TAC’s stance says the virtual machine settings should be modified first, followed by the upgrade, then wrapped up with the vNIC change to VMXNET3. I can provide documentation if needed - it seems that UCCX documentation differs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
