I need to migrate CUCM 8.6.2 from 6.0.1 but don't have any DVD of old 6.0.1

Dear Experts,

I have new project which has been abandon for long and assigned to me recently.

I know what is the steps we need to work.

1. DRS from current CUCM version

2. Install same version of 6.0.1 to new Server

3. Backup from step1.

4. Upgrade to 8.6.2(it is not direct support, so I have to upgrade to middle version first)

But customer doesn't have current CUCM(6.0.1) version of DVD and I cannot find the version from Cisco site as well.

1. Can I export BAT from old version and import BAT to new version ? will it work ?

2. I don't have any bootable version either of old or new, so I need to make bootable after download from Cisco site.

I googled and some site said I can copy bootsector from bootable DVD and copy to new DVD, in this case even though  it is not same version, for example, if I copy from 10.5 version and copy to 8.6.2, does it make bootable DVD ?

3. How can I remove all configuration on CUCM ? is it CLI command if I can ?

Thanks in advance

Jason

1. It's only as easy as export -> import if you use it on the same release, on any other release, you'll need to massage the data as necessary

2. That is NOT SUPPORTED for production environments, we won't support your deployment.

Get in touch with TAC for older releases or order recent ones via PUT

3. There's no way to do that, besides having a blank DRS and restore it.

Hi Jason,

There is a way, however if you got into any bad situation or needed any help during the process TAC WILL NOT be able help.

Try this method, and you should be able to create bootable DVDs from non-Bootable ones.

Secondly, you may raise a TAC SR and request them to release the Bootable media for 6.0.1
