Upgrading from CUCM 7.1(3) to 7.1.5b(SU3)

[zzbronski]

This upgrade is downloaded in two parts. Are they supposed to be combined into one ISO or just burned separately once they are downloaded?

[David Hailey]

Most all of the upgrade files are contained within 2 or more files.  They are intended to be combined into a single file.  The release

notes for the upgrade will give the exact command line syntax based on your platform (Win vs. Linux) to combine the files into a single file.  Make sure you verify the checksum of the file when you are done as well.  It should match what it listed in the release notes as well.

I checked the readme for my platform and

it only mentioned the MD5 checksum, there was nothing about combining the two parts.

I will look again but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Each part is about 1.7gb

in size.

It would be in the release notes but should be along these lines:

On a Unix/Linux system, copy and paste the following command from this document into the CLI to combine the two files:

cat UCS_Install_UCOS_7.1.2.30000-3.sgn.iso_part1of2 UCS_Install_UCOS_7.1.2.30000-3.sgn.iso_part2of2 >

UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.2.30000-3.sgn.iso

•On a Windows system, copy and paste the following command from this document into the command prompt (cmd.exe) to combine the two files:

COPY /B UCS_Install_UCOS_7.1.2.30000-3.sgn.iso_part1of2+UCS_Install_UCOS_7.1.2.30000-3.sgn.iso_part2of2

UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.2.30000-3.sgn.iso

This is an example from a 7.1.2 document so you would replace the filenames based on your specific upgrade files.

This is exactly what I was looking for but I get an error "The system cannot find the

file specified".

[zzbronski]

Yes, there is in fact version 7.1.5b(SU3). It is listed under

Cisco Unity Connection Updates.

[zzbronski]

I got it to work after all. My problem was I had to capitalize the /B instead of /b.

Problem resolved. Thanks

Hi Z,

Just to add the link to the awesome tips from my friend Hailey (+5 H-Man)

I'm guessing you are referring to 7.1(5b) which just came out on Jan.11 (there is no SU3 for 7.1(5)

Upgrading from Unified CM 6.x or Later by Using the UCSInstall File

---

Note Release 6.x customers can install this version, but the ccm.exe will not run unless 7.0 software licenses exist on the system.

---

Because of its size, the UCSInstall iso file, UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1.sgn.iso, comprises two parts:

•UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1.sgn.iso_part1of2

•UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1.sgn.iso_part2of2

Procedure

---

Step 1 From the Software Download page on Cisco.com, download the two UCSInstall files.

Step 2 To combine the two files, execute one of the following commands.

---

Note Because the UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1 build specifies a nonbootable ISO, the build proves useful only for upgrades. You cannot use this build for new installations.

---

a. If you have a Unix/Linux system, copy and paste the following command into the CLI:

cat UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1.sgn.iso_part1of2 UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1.sgn.iso_part2of2 > UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1.sgn.iso

b. If you have a Windows system, copy and paste the following command into the command prompt (cmd.exe):

COPY /B UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1.sgn.iso_part1of2+UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1.sgn.iso_part2of2 UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.30000-1.sgn.iso

Step 3 Use an md5sum utility to verify that the MD5 sum of the final file is correct.

Step 4 Continue by following the instructions in the "Upgrading from a Local Source" section or the "Upgrading from a Remote Source" section.

Hi Z,

My bad! I didn't even see that. Here is the new info;

Because of its size, the UCSInstall iso file, UCOS_7.1.5.32900-2.sgn.iso, comprises two parts:
#

•UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.32900-2.sgn.iso_part1of2
#

•UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.32900-2.sgn.iso_part2of2
#

Procedure
#

Step 1 From the Software Download page on Cisco.com, download the two UCSInstall files.
##

Step 2 To combine the two files, execute one of the following commands.
#

Note Because the UCSInstall_UCOS_7.1.5.32900-2 build specifies a nonbootable ISO, the build proves useful only for upgrades. You cannot use this build for new installations.

#

Step 3 Use an md5sum utility to verify that the MD5 sum of the final file is correct.

The MD5 for the Restricted combined download is: 24ade072e20504510d9493e12b8b8ef7
