Server replacement

[j.huizinga]

Hi,

I want to replace a server with a new server.

The CM version is 6.0.1 and it is a publisher only; no subs

I have restored several times a backup and normally this doesn't give a problem because I have all the information.

In this case I don't have the following information:

DNS server (if any)

DNS domain (if any)

NTP server (if any)

SMTP server (if any)

Time zone

Anything related to the web-security (Organization, Location, State etc)

All other information (username/password, network parameters) I have, plus new licenses.

Is this information enough to restore the publisher?

Thanks,

JH

Hi JH,

The only info that might trip you up is the lack of the DNS/NTP

settings. If the old box is still active you should be able to pull off those

settings. The steps are described in the link below;

Hello Rob,

Thank you for your reply.

The issue is that the server has crashed, and I haven't installed this box.

Normally when I do the installation I take all info and file it.

Do you know if in the CCM backup file  (the tar files) I might find this info?

Thanks,

Jan

JH,

Please have a look at: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/install/6_1_1/cluster/clstr611.html

You will also need a new license for the Publisher since the License is based on the MAC address of the Publisher.

Sorry, I didn't read the whole thread.

Hi Jan,

I'm not sure about the .tar files and I have no access right now

Is there any person on site who does any admin? You may be able to determine

from them if they accessed CUCM via Hostname or IP address. This would

answer part of the DNS question. You may have to kick off the re-build to see

if and when it fails along with the errors that are generated.

Cheers!

Hello Rob,

I think I will just start rebuilding and we shall see.

The issue is that I have to install a 6.0.1.2000 and then upgrade to 6.0.1.3000

And this will take hours

As for the admin people, they don't really exist at this site 

Thanks for your help,

Jan

Hey Jan,

Don't forget that you can install the patch to 6.0.1.3000 during the build This

may save you some time at least.

Best of luck!

Cheers!
