While I understand the purpose and intention of a temporary DRS target; I’d be hesitant to use the ESXi server itself.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All things temporary become permanent, especially in the SMB space :).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Though, I will admit it’s an awfully convenient Linux server in a pinch ;).<br>

<div dir="auto">It was the 1GB max per transaction file size, but was then fixed. I don’t think they’ve restricted their cipher suites either, so I think it still works with CBC-Blowfish and other older/weaker suites .... which is why folks like it on CUCM;
might not be the most secure but it just works.<br>

<div>I vaguely recall something changing with FreeFTPd that specifically broke our DRS and that’s why it’s no longer supported.
<div>i don’t know if it was a max file size or something else.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Has anyone seen this lately? This thing is nuts. I've been doing upgrades for like 10 years now, and this seems a little over the top.
<div><br>

</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some Highlights:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"If you have custom ringtones or background images in the TFTP directory, you need to create a separate backup for these files. They are not included in the Disaster Recovery System (DRS) backup file."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Good to know. I must admit that I didn't know that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"Record the following login and password information: all application users credentials, such as DRS, AXL, and accounts for other third-party integration"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What? Why? What do you plan on doing with my configuration?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"Record the settings for Enterprise Parameters on both [CM] nodes and [IM&P] nodes. [T]he settings that are configured on Unified Communications Manager nodes overwrite the settings configured on IM and Presence Service nodes during the upgrade process."<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Well that's some lazy software engineering right there folks.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"Export user records using the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That's a nice list of users you got there. It would be a shame if this upgrade deleted all of them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And the list just goes on, and on, and on. The pre-upgrade is as long as the upgrade. Who legitimately is already doing 100% of these things?</div>
