CUCM 6.1.3 upgrade and clustering

[mljevakovic]

We have CUCM ver. 6.1.3.100-16 on  platform 7825I3. We would like to buy a new server do clustering and upgrading to 7.1  version. What we have to order ? Are these are correct?

UNIFIED-CM7.1
       CUCM 7.1 top level part number
   MCS7825I4-K9-CMC2
     Unified CM 7.1 7825-I4 Appliance, 0 Seats
   CAB-ACE
      AC Power Cord (Europe), C13, CEE 7, 1.5M
   Included: CCX-70-CM-BUNDLE
      CCX 7.0 UCM 5 Seat ENH Bundle - ONLY with NEW UCM
   Included: CUCMS-EVAL-K9
      CUCMS Monitoring Bundle Evaluation

LIC-CM7.1-7825=
     License Unified CM 7.1 7825 Appliance, 1,000 seats

Do  we have to upgrade existing CUCM with version 6.1.3? And do we have to  order CUCM ver. 7.1  or we can use from above order? We don't need  devices license, do we (we use existing)?

I would suggest you start by taking a look at the UCM ordering guide.  http://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/partner/WWChannels/technology/ipc/downloads/uc_sol_og_ucl_final.pdf

When you go from 6.1 to 7.1, you will actually be ordering User Connect Licenses (UCL), so the ordering is going to be a bit different.

We have a special promotion going on right now in which you can order UCLs for $3 per user.  You must also by three years of UCSS when you take advantage of the promotion.  Hence we call it the "3 and 3" promotion.

You start with top level part number of CUCM-USR-LIC.

You will need to count the number of Enhanced and Basic Users you have and select the approrpriate Migration SKUs.  Note these are list price of $3.

You will need to select the mandatory 3 yr UCSS for the users you selected.

You can then select the number of servers you have in your 7.1(5) cluster and order the appropriate number of node licenses.

In the end for 1000 users you will get something like:

CUCM-USR-LIC      Top Level Sku For User License		1
MIG-CUCM-USR       Upgrade ala carte CM to ENH USR, 1 User		1000
UCSS-UCM-3-1       UCSS for UCM User for three Year - 1 users		1000
UCM-7845-71       CUCM 7.1 7845		5
Included: CUCM-PAK       Include PAK Auto-expanding PAK for CUCM		1
Included: CUCM-USR       Include PAK Auto-expanding User for CUCM		2000
Included: LIC-CUCM-USR-B       Unified Communications Manager Enh Single User-1000 to 10K		1000
Included: UCM-7845-71-UKIT       CUCM 7.1 7845		1
Included: UCSS-UCM-PAK       Include PAK Auto-expanding UCSS PAK for CUCM		1

I'm little in doubt. What does it mean user? Are these numbers of my real users (DLU license)  in system or number of seats (1000 seats).Also can we just bought new CUCM version 7.1 as I specified in my post and make clustering?

[whamblin]

I strongly suggest you reference the ordering guide I pointed you to.

The number of seats.  1000 phones typically means 1000 users.

You can not purchase the SKUs that were listed in your original SKUs.  All ordering is now UCL based.
