Hi,
I'm trying to do the following:
I have the Cisco Unified Communication Manager 8.0(3a) DVD that I want to use to do an upgrade from 6.1(4). Well I need to convert that as an ISO so I can do the upgrade through "Remote Filesystem" instead of "DVD/CD" since the server is physically in a different state.
I tried to convert an ISO, but going through the Software Upgrade wizard and selecting "Remote Filesystem" it's unable to locate any accpetable files to install/upgrade.
What can I do to accomplish what I need done?
Thank you!

Hi Rya,
Hope all is well my friend
For this upgrade you can use the .iso's available via CCO;
Because of its size, the UCSInstall iso file, UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso, comprises two parts:
•UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso_part1of2
•UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso_part2of2
Procedure
Step 1 From the Software Download page on Cisco.com, download the two UCSInstall files.
Step 2 To combine the two files, execute one of the following commands.
a. If you have a Unix/Linux system, copy and paste the following command into the CLI:
cat UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso_part1of2 UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso_part2of2 > UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso |
b. If you have a Windows system, copy and paste the following command into the command prompt (cmd.exe):
COPY /B UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso_part1of2+UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso_part2of2 UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso |
Step 3 Use an md5sum utility to verify that the MD5 sum of the final file is correct.
eb2126b16c8ff5912fa0ebd0f8802d42 UCSInstall_UCOS_8.0.3.20000-2.sgn.iso
Step 4 Continue by following the instructions in the "Upgrading from a Local Source" section or the "Upgrading from a Remote Source" section.
To upgrade the software from a network location or remote server, use the following procedure.
Note Do not use the browser controls, such as Refresh/Reload, while you are accessing Cisco Unified Operating System Administration. Instead, use the navigation controls that are provided by the interface.
Procedure
Step 1 Put the upgrade file on an FTP or SFTP server that the server that you are upgrading can access.
a. If you have a Cisco-provided upgrade disk, copy the contents of the disk to the remote server.
b. If you downloaded the upgrade files, copy the files you downloaded to the remote server.
Step 2 Log in to Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration.
Step 3 Navigate to Software Upgrades > Install/Upgrade.
The Software Installation/Upgrade window displays.
Step 4 From the Source list, choose Remote Filesystem.
Step 5 In the Directory field, enter the path to the directory that contains the patch file on the remote system.
If the upgrade file is located on a Linux or Unix server, you must enter a forward slash at the beginning of the directory path. For example, if the upgrade file is in the patches directory, you must enter /patches
If the upgrade file is located on a Windows server, remember that you are connecting to an FTP or SFTP server, so use the appropriate syntax, including
•Begin the path with a forward slash (/) and use forward slashes throughout the path.
•The path must start from the FTP or SFTP root directory on the server, so you cannot enter a Windows absolute path, which starts with a drive letter (for example, C:).
Step 6 In the Server field, enter the server name or IP address.
Step 7 In the User Name field, enter your user name on the remote server.
Step 8 In the User Password field, enter your password on the remote server.
Step 9 Select the transfer protocol from the Transfer Protocol field.
Step 10 To disable throttling, check the Disable I/O throttling check box.
If you want to reenable throttling after you start the upgrade, you must cancel the upgrade, reenable throttling, and then restart the upgrade.
Step 11 To continue the upgrade process, click Next.
Step 12 Choose the upgrade version that you want to install and click Next.
•If you are upgrading from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.x or 7.x, the upgrade file has the extension sgn.iso.
Step 13 In the next window, monitor the progress of the download.
Note If you lose your connection with the server or close your browser during the upgrade process, you may see the following message when you try to access the Software Upgrades menu again:
Warning: Another session is installing software, click Assume Control to take over the installation.
If you are sure you want to take over the session, click Assume Control.
If Assume Control does not display, you can also monitor the upgrade with the Cisco Unified Real Time Monitoring Tool.
Step 14 If you want to install the upgrade and automatically reboot to the upgraded partition, choose Reboot to upgraded partition. The system restarts and runs the upgraded software.
Step 15 If you want to install the upgrade and then manually reboot to the upgraded partition at a later time, do the following steps:
a. Choose Do not reboot after upgrade.
b. Click Next.
The Upgrade Status window displays the Upgrade log.
c. When the installation completes, click Finish.
d. To restart the system and activate the upgrade, choose Settings > Version; then, click Switch Version.
The system restarts and is running the upgraded software.

If you have a Mac or Linux machine to hand, you can put the DVD in the machines drive, then do something like:
$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/tmp/cucm.iso bs=1m
(The exact path of /dev/cdrom will depend on your machine & O/S.)

Hi Rob, I'm doing well trying to finish up this upgrade.
But yeah those are the files I was really after, however, through PUT we only got the physical CDs and not eDelivery.
Where would I go (using my Cisco account) to download these UCS files instead for 8.0?
Thank you!

Ugh. I didn't even think to check for the 8.0 Upgrade ISO files on CCO.
But yeah they were right there and worked liked a charm. I now have CCM 8.0(3) installed to the inactive partition.
Thanks for the help, again!
(note: I rewarded points for all. I do appreciate it!)
