Migrating three CCM clusters into One single CCM Cluster

[4octet]

I have a site that has 3 seperate CCM clusters. One is on 6.x another is 7.x and the new Cluster is 8.x. We want to migrate the exisiting two seperate CCM clusters into the single 8.x cluster.

My question is has anyone had any experiance exporting the data from a exisiting CCM cluster and importing into a different version of CCM. What I'm trying to avoid is having to go through all the upgrade licensing headache of upgrading the exisiting severs just to export the data. I would like to just export the device pools, route patterns, phones ect into CSV's and import them into the new CCM 8.x that is currently in development so we can get that system up and running before we convert the existing callmanagers to the new cluster to minimize downtime.

Has anyone had any experiance consolidating multiple clusters into a single cluster?

This is possible, however the import/export capabilities from each version are a little different and so are the configuration for some stuff as new capabilities are added and new mandatory fields are necessary.

BAT will give you a lot of info, you'll need to do an export from 8.X and compare it to the 6.X/7.X files to make sure all the fields 8.X needs are there. If not, you'll need to add them in order to make them valid files for 8.X
