Collapsing One CUCM Cluster into Another Cluster

[JOEALBERTINI]

I am collapsing one cluster into another cluster.  I want to know if there is an easier way, than using BAT, to migrate the phone and line data into the other cluster.  Thanks.

Not really, we don't have any tools for it.

BAT in the most recent versions can export/import almost eveything.

Well, here is the issue with BAT.  I am exporting phone data from a 5.x system and trying to import to a 7.x system.  Phone configuration in 5.x and 7.x is now different as are some of the header fields for BAT.  So, is there an easy way to export "All Phone Details" for a specific device in CUCM 5.x and convert it to a readable format for 7.x import?  Besides a manually intervention.  Thanks.

Not really, there is no tool to update the formats.

You'd need to export 1 phone model in 7.X with all details and then fill in the blanks with the info from 5.X leaving the default for the new mandatory fields in 7.X.

Other than that, it would mean you would need to some scripting to process the 5.X file and add the info to a 7.X blueprint or add the mandatory fields to the 5.X file.
