Same. Check out the UCMap logs – lots of useful information on what PCD is 
doing behind the scenes in these logs. You’ll find them stored under the 
/tomcat/logs/ucmap/ directory via CLI. I’ve been able to gather lots of 
detailed info on the steps being taken for migration tasks. Combine that with a 
WinSCP session into PCD (browse through /export sub directories…) and a person 
can really get more detailed information than what’s offered in documentation.

I just want to see what is going on.  I like having a window knowing exactly 
what it’s doing under the covers.  Sort of like Java.  In Java you can pull up 
the console if you really want to know.

I’m digging up an old thread here (perhaps because of tender pain points) but 
the point you made about multi-site is spot on, Dennis… especially if the 
remote location’s connectivity to the PCD’s site is less than ideal. In this 
type of scenario, one can encounter issues with PCD where a migration task 
incorrectly reports failure on the installation step for a migration due to 
delays in the CUCM installation and PCDs built-in timers (e.g. a 60m wait time 
before determining a migrated host is unreachable).

When granular control is needed in a large cluster spanning multiple locations, 
PCD starts to show its limitations but I’m hoping additional features are added 
that focus on how PCD recovers from certain failures when multiple nodes are 
grouped within individual install/migrate steps.

PCD is a great tool for single-site installs or upgrades in a lab environment. 
Biggest limitation of PCD when multisites are involved, since it pushes all 
ISOs from the PCD server. Maybe an ability to leverage ISOs on VMWare 
datastores instead of from the PCD server.

Just a note on this.

I have just completed a direct Hardware 8.5 to VM 10.5 with network changes 
using Prime collaboration deployment. No Cop files need to be installed, No 
jump upgrades, No restoring from backup. Really was a simple process.

If you haven’t used PCD I would strongly suggest taking a look next time you 
upgrade or install a new build.

Regards

Matthew Collins

10.5 is VM only, 8.6.1 usually was MCS hardware.

To upgrade you will need to 8.6.1 upgrade to 9.1 on MCS. Then 9.1 MCS to VM, 
the upgrade 9.1 to 10.5(2)SU1.

Supported vs the system will upgrade are two different things.

Hi All

Just checking through documentation for CUCM 10.5 for an upgrade, the 
compatibility guide states that a direct upgrade is from 8.6.1 onwards as shown 
below.

However in the Read Me notes for 10.5.2 Su1 it states the following


 

Version and Description

This SU is a cumulative update that incorporates all of the fixes and changes 
from Cisco Unified Communications Manager 10.5(2) along with additional changes 
that are specific to this SU.

Note

You can only install this SU on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 
6.1(4x), 6.1(5x), 7.1(3x), 7.1(5x), 8.0(x), 8.5(1x), 8.6(x), 9.0(x), 9.1(x), 
10.0(1), 10.5(1), or 10.5(2) This SU will not install over any 10.5(2)ES’s. 
Upgrades from 6x, 7x, 8.x, and 9.x need to be requested via PUT 
(www.cisco.com/upgrade<http://www.cisco.com/upgrade>) to obtain the necessary 
license. This SU should not be installed on a Business Edition 3000 server.

I would normally always go with what is says in the compatibility matrix, 
however my colleague has just done an upgrade albeit in a lab from 8.5.1 direct 
to 10.5.2 SU1.

Anyone know if he just got lucky or if that is now supported?

Regards

Nick
