Greetings,
I'm having difficulty finding the answer to this on the cisco website. I am planning to upgrade my unity connection cluster from v 7.1.3 to 7.1(5b). My hardware is mcs-7845h2-k9-uca1. Is this ok to go to 7.1(5b)?
Thanks,
Beth

Hi Beth,
It's usually a safe bet that if your upgrading within a major release that you do not have to upgrade your hardware but you can always check in the release notes for the upgrade.
