I am going to upgrade to CUCM 8.6 (UCS210M2 ) to CUCM 11.0 (BE7K) through Refresh Upgrade.
License Requirement:
As I will found Cisco License Count Utility I will fetch license data and share with Cisco Team for DLUs to UCL/CUWL conversion.
Action Plan:
Step1: DRS Backup of all server.
Step2: Installation of 8.6 software(CUCM,CUC,IM/P) then install fresh Server CUCM 8.6 on my new UCS BE7000M4.
and then Restore Backup on New CUCM 8.6 on UCS BE7000M4 Server and check all third party integration.
Step3: Installation of 11.0 Upgradation software(CUCM,CUC,IM/P) on newly built CUCM 8.6 (UCS BE7K)and check all third party integration.
Step 4: After verification of all application behavior I will replace new hardware with Old UCSC210M2 in data center.
Now my Question are?
1) Is I need any extra COPS file except upgrade file only?
2) What will be procedure for upgrade first will update all PUB(CUCM,CUC,IM/P)?
3)Most important when I install new CUCM 8.6 on new hardware which OVA template I use 8.6 OVA or 11.0?
4)Is we need to upgrade IP Phone Versions?
