Guidance for BE6K hardware refresh and upgrade

[Mujeeb Shaik]

Hi all, 

Trust you are doing well, 

I am tasked to perform the following actions for one of my customers:

Migrate cucm 11.5 BE 6K from their old UCS c200 server to a new hardware platform UCS c220 M4.

Facilitate hardware server level redundancy by recreating the same subscriber , cuc , I'm & p VMs on another new c220 M4 server and place it at a geographical location , and finally cluster them over the WAN.

Kindly let me know what licencing and right to use and perform requirements should I verify, consider and validate before starting on this.

Secondly, if there are any guides, tools or a resource which can help me simplify and understand the process of the complete activity and assist me getting it done, please direct me to them.

With Immense gratitude,

Mujeeb shaik

To move the VMs from one server to other you have the same options, no matter the HW you will use.

DRS, vMotion or manually moving the VM files. For CUC, you can also use COBRAS.
