Upgrade 9.1 to 10.5 using PCD advice

[Jorge Alberto Largaespada Gonzalez]

Hi everyone,

Today i have a upgrade  one cluster  of CUCM, i have some question:

I need to upload to PCD all of the cop files (ciscocm.vmware-disk-size-reallocation, ciscocm.free_common_space, elm_Elm_v9_1_1_PlmUpgrade, ciscocm.version3-keys) and the  PCD  automatically install?

i need to edit the machine with the new version of RH6, network adapter and change the size of the storage after the upgrade task?

what happen with the license from ELM to the PLM is automatic or i need to do another step?

The simple answer is that the only thing PCD will do for you in an upgrade scenario, is load the UCSInstall_UCOS_10.5.2.12901-1.sgn.iso file for you, and kick the upgrade to start, absolutely nothing else.

All the pre-reqs, VM changes, etc, YOU need to take care of, manually. PCD does not assist with cop installation, all PCD can use, are the fresh install, and bootable ISO files.

Yes, review the upgrade guide for all the pre-upgrade tasks and the post-upgrade tasks, none of them change because you use PCD. They already explain when to do each change, and how to.

Assuming you're using the co-res ELM, it will upgrade automatically to PLM.
