Yes - I was quite surprised with the amount of time exporting/importing requires. Especially because, as far as I know, there is no way to export to a locally attached storage then pop that out/in and import. It has to be done via vsphere client and pc. We
ended up putting a laptop on the same switch to speed things up a bit.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I really wish there was a quicker way. </div>
<div><br>

<div class="gmail-m_-8275142904622072772moz-cite-prefix">For a major upgrade it seems pretty reasonable to me. I'd consider doing it just for testing even if I upgraded the production servers directly rather than shut them down and start up the upgraded ones. And if I was going to do
a parallel upgrade, I'd probably upgrade once to test, then copy the production servers across again and do it for real. One thought that comes to mind is how quickly you can copy back the VMs from AWS to your production environment.<br>

Perhaps. But it’s an option.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My preference would be to use on premise resources to create the offline network. This part of the discussion was focused on how you could use VWC on AWS to accomplish this if you didn’t have resources. The CSR would, if it works, allow you to connect
devices on prem to the offline servers to do a more complete testing. But it’s not entirely necessary. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It’s all what your more comfortable with, I guess. I’d rather double the amount of prep time to complete the upgrades offline in order to reduce the downtime to the production service. Especially when both CUCM and UCCX need to be upgraded simultaneously
due to version compatibility. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">In your pre-checks don’t just check DB replication but also CUC and UCCX replication on the respective servers (utils uccx/cuc dbreplication status). Plus check from the pub and sub as on a CUC upgrade recently it kept failing, Turned out
CUC replication wasn’t set up correctly. Ran the command from the Pub and it stated everything was good, Ran from the Sub said it was failed. Ended up re-building the CUC Sub. The issue came about from a host name change years back and some of the tables where
not updated on the sub.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I will say one thing, if you have the opportunity to duplicate the environment in an off-line network and perform the upgrades there, then your migration will basically be downtime involved with shutting down old servers and turning up
new servers. This is not trivial, by any stretch of the imagination. However, once you put some thought into it, I think you’ll find this method extremely valuable.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You work out all the kinks in the offline network and repeat until you are satisfied.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You’ll need a couple of things to make this work, namely, a change freeze window and the “pre 8.0” enterprise parameter.
</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We’ve done this twice now and it’s worked like a charm.</p>
