Migration from CUCMBE 6.1 to CUCM 7.1 & Unity Connection 7.1

[veeramaniarumugam]

Hi,

we are plannig to upgrade our existing CUCMBE 6.1 to Call Manager Cluster CUCM 7.1 & unity Connection 7.1.

call Manager cluster with 2 servers.one as publsiher/backup subscriber in MCS-7845 & 1 deticated Subscriber in MCS-7845.

One server for untiy connetion 7.1 in a MCS-7845 server and other server for Unity Presence.

In cisco website i can find out the upgradation path for CUCMBE 6.1 to CUCMBE 7.1 etc , but no where cannot find a document for migration CUCMBE server to a Call Manager cluster.

Could any one can guide me, how can I do the upgrade from CUCMBE(CUCM 6.1 & Unity Connection 2.1 on a single server) to CUCM 7.1 in one server & unity connection in another server.

Thanks & Regards,

veeramani..

Migration path is documented in the ordering guide.

MCS7828 server can be reused as the server for UCM if needed.

Unity Connection requires a separate server.

Data migration is manual. We currently do not have an officially support method to migrate the configuration data.

For licenses and software - you need to purchase 3x3 migration licenses for the users (both UCM and Unity Cn)  on BE and purchase any additional user licenses for UCM and Unity Cn.

You can then send a note to licensing@cisco.com to ge the licenses rehosted to UCM and Unity Connection by providing proof of purchase for the 3x3 upgrade SKUs.

Hope this helps.
