Upgrade from CCM 4.23 to UCM 8.62a Business Ed. 6000 ??

[tcekada]

                   I am upgrading from CCM 4.23 to UCM 8.62a Business Edition 6000.  Since I am doing a bridge upgrade, I am going to run the Data Migration Tool to import the data from CCM 4.23.  The question is what version of UCM 7.15b do I import the CCM 4.23 data into,  UCM 7.15b or UCM/BE 7.15b ??  Then upgrade to UCM 8.62a Business Edition and restore to a virtualized server.   Right?

Thanks in advance,

Tony C.

You need to upgrade to standalone CUCM version, before we had the 3K/5K/6K releases they were co-res, and there's no upgrade from co-res to standalone.

6K is a "regular" install, just downsized, so yes, upgrade to 8.6 and then restore on your CUCM 6K machine

I am curioous about the 6k. We are working on a new VoIP system and Cisco BE6k is one in there with Mitel and Shoretel. Any advice or commentary from anyone?

We are a small Manufacturing company with 115 phones. pretty standard. I am concerned about the HW refresh cycles that Cisco has. 5-6 years to totally refresh??
