<div dir="ltr">I think the most important thing to know is, upgrading your apps via PCD is no different than you upgrading them yourself. That is, unless you plan to be asleep while it's happening, and just wake up in the morning on 11.5.<div><br></div><div>If instead you plan to babysit the PCD process, you really are not gaining anything by using PCD to do the upgrade for you. You still have to plan for the upgrade as if PCD were not involved: read upgrade guides, release notes, read mes, install COP files, clear disk space, plan the phone firmware upgrade, check compatible phones (and yes you're going to lose phone support in 11.5), check gateway compatibility, upgrade Jabber, and the list goes on.</div><div><br></div><div>PCD is going to save you zero time and effort, and in fact, it will increase your work effort, because on top of everything you are already responsible for in planning and executing the upgrade normally, now you need to read the PCD guides and cross your fingers you don't hit a PCD bug in the process.<div><br></div><div>So, like I said, unless you're going to let PCD run all by itself while you're away, I wouldn't bother with it. But really, who is ready to trust PCD to an unattended upgrade, to include a switch version?</div><div><br></div><div>That's my opinion on the matter. Let's hear from you, why you are using PCD for this task in the first place, and what benefits you think it brings to your project.</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 6, 2016 at 8:17 AM, Michael Voity <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mvoity@uvm.edu" target="_blank">mvoity@uvm.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72"><div class="m_2777028261194182293WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">This weekend I am going to be upgrading our CUCM, CUC and CUPS cluster from 10.5.2 to 11.5.1.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I will be using PCD to execute and switch the upgrade.
