CUCM BE5K Migration To BE6K v.10

Mohd SaberUddin — Tue, 19 Mar 2019 15:15:11 GMT

Hi All,

currently we have CUCM BE5K and we are migrating to BE6K v10. Currently the version of the call Manager is 6.1.5.11900-13.

so in order to migrate , can i follow the below the steps:

First can we installed the same version of CUCM 6.1.5.11900-13. in UCS Server, take the backup from existing cucm and restore it in New Installed CUCM.
If we restored the Backup on New CUCM, then the procedure for migration to CUCM v. 10

kindly let me know the procedure is correct , or any document/link for migrating.. that would be helpful

thank you...

Hi,

I think you can follow the Jump Upgrade procedure in non-production hours.

You can also refer the link for software compatibility matrix

If someone has more clarity on BE ,please share.

hey aman,

Yes there is direct upgrade form version 6.1.5 to 10.x , so can we install be5k on UCS Server c220 ??

then restoring the data to new installed cucm ? and proceed for migration...

No, jump upgrade does NOT

Jaime Valencia — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 14:15:49 GMT

No, jump upgrade does NOT apply for 5K, 5K is ONLY supported on MCS. PCD is also not supported on 5K

5K to 6K involves taking as much info as possible using the import/export ability from BAT, then taking that into your 6K CUCM. A CUCM backup from 5K, can only be used on another 5K install.

Aman, please refrain from posting the docs directly, and direct them to the location of the doc on the communities to make sure only those who are entitled to it, can use it.

The doc outlining the 5K to 6K upgrade is here

Hi jamie,

can we take the backup with import/export BAT of 5k cucm v6.1.5 .. and then Can we restore it on BE6K v10.x ??..

Or do we need to make changes in import/export BAT file to match the v10.x..

The import/export as is, with

Jaime Valencia — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 21:25:17 GMT

The import/export as is, with no changes required, is like DRS, same version.

You can use it with any other version, but manual adjusts to make it compliant with the other release have to be done.

Upgrade as far as you can on MCS (8.0(2) minimum), then build the same version on UCS, use export/import. Or go directly to 10, and massage the export file as necessary.

thanks a lot that's good info

Mohd SaberUddin — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 21:38:59 GMT

thanks a lot that's good info..

is it possible can we install 5k on UCS server ???

how can we take the backup of CUC...

NO, I've already stated 5K is

Jaime Valencia — Mon, 02 Jun 2014 21:42:04 GMT

NO, I've already stated 5K is an MCS ONLY solution.

Only 6K, 7K and standalone products are supported on UCS.

Use COBRAS for CUC.

jamie, just to confirm, on

Mohd SaberUddin — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 15:03:26 GMT

jamie,

just to confirm, on BE5k cucm 6.1.5 can we upgrade to 10.5 ??

you can also check the below hardware details also if 10.5 will support or not.

HW Platform       : 7828H3
Processors        : 1
Type              : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU            3050 @ 2.13GHz
CPU Speed         : 2133
Memory            : 6144 MBytes
Object ID         : 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.1.901
OS Version        : UCOS 3.0.0.0-101

NO, anything above 10.X is

Jaime Valencia — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 15:14:18 GMT

NO, anything above 10.X is virtual only.

5K can only go as far as 9.X, and you can check HW compatibility on the online documentation, easily found on cisco.com, or by searching CSC.

And the name is Jaime.

If you want to go to 10, you need to go to 9.x, export info using BAT, import on 9.x on ESXi, then upgrade to 10. Have you reviewed the 5K to 6K documentation?????

i have gone through the be5k

Mohd SaberUddin — Wed, 04 Jun 2014 15:33:25 GMT

Thanks a lot Jaime for your answers
