Prime Collaboration Deployment for Migration?

[richb1971]

Is using PCD an option for migrating phones from a CUCM8.6 cluster to a 10.5 cluster?

Cheers

Rich,

I am not sure I understanding you. PCD is used for the followings:

Migrations i.e from bare metal solutions to virtualized environment

Upgrades

Admin tasks such as switch version, restart, ip address/host name change etc

It is not used solely to migrate phones neither does it do BAT related tasks

Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment is an application designed to assist in the management of Unified Communication applications. It allows the user to perform tasks such as migration of older software versions of clusters to new virtual machines, fresh installs, and upgrades on existing clusters.

Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment has four primary, high-level functions:

• Migrate an existing cluster of Unified Communication (UC) servers to a new cluster (this may be MCS

to virtual or virtual to virtual)

• Perform operations on existing clusters (8.6.1 or higher). Examples of these operations include:

◦Upgrade

◦Switch version

◦Restart

• Changing IP addresses or Hostnames in the cluster on existing Release 10.x clusters

• Fresh install a new Release 10.x Unified Communication cluster
