Drive to upgrade from cluster 8.6.x to 11.x

[dsobrinho]

Hello 

We have a customer with collaboration version 8.x that will upgrade to version 11.x. This customer applied a wrong upgrade version CUCM 8.6.2.25900-8 Unrestricted cluster,  so now he request a upgrade version from 8.6.x to 11.x.

I would like to know the specifc details that is not mentioned in the cisco docs, something like:

1. how change the ova template to support RED HAT Version 6;
2. how to change the vmxnet to vmxnet3;
3. how to support sha  with ciscocm.version3-keys.cop.sgn
4. how to realocate disk space from vmware;
5. how to improve security for bash (ciscocm.bashupgrade.cop.sgn)

Following the version of hardware and app runing:

• 3x UCS C220 M3 with vmware 4.1 / 5.0 
• 3x CUCM 8.6.2.25900-8 Unrestricted cluster; 
• 3x CUPS 8.6.4.10000-28 cluster; 
• 1x UCCX 8.5.1.11004-25 Premium standalone; 
• 1x UCCX 8.5.1.11004-25 Standard standalone ;

Best regards,
Daniel Sobrinho

And I'm guessing you have not reviewed the documentation on how to upgrade, because the documentation DOES cover what you're asking. 

How to install the RSA version 3 keys, how to modify the specs of the VM and related COPs are covered in the documentation.

ciscocm.bashupgrade.cop.sgn has a README that covers all you need to know about it.

You need to read

A) Upgrade guide

B) Release notes

I suggest you read the documentation, and then, you come back with questions.

I'm not exactly sure of what you mean in #4
