These pre upgrade tasks have been the same for awhile I think. Here is the 10.5 
guide that shows these.

Subject: [cisco-voip] CUCM Pre-Upgrade Checklist

Has anyone seen this lately?  This thing is nuts.  I've been doing upgrades for 
like 10 years now, and this seems a little over the top.

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/upgrade/11_5_1/cucm_b_upgrade-guide-cucm-115/cucm_b_upgrade-guide-cucm-115_chapter_010001.html<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cisco.com%2Fc%2Fen%2Fus%2Ftd%2Fdocs%2Fvoice_ip_comm%2Fcucm%2Fupgrade%2F11_5_1%2Fcucm_b_upgrade-guide-cucm-115%2Fcucm_b_upgrade-guide-cucm-115_chapter_010001.html&data=02%7C01%7Ckwinstrand%40hcr-manorcare.com%7C1b4f30f2556f45c4b44b08d597825f20%7C053af594947149639f1553432d540084%7C0%7C0%7C636581508558768969&sdata=aN9ySOTKYfdk0ni6KmqO8yh7P7uXfVr29imCVX9YOHE%3D&reserved=0>

Some Highlights:

"If you have custom ringtones or background images in the TFTP directory, you 
need to create a separate backup for these files. They are not included in the 
Disaster Recovery System (DRS) backup file."

Good to know.  I must admit that I didn't know that.

"Record the following login and password information: all application users 
credentials, such as DRS, AXL, and accounts for other third-party integration"

What?  Why?  What do you plan on doing with my configuration?

"Record the settings for Enterprise Parameters on both [CM] nodes and [IM&P] 
nodes. [T]he settings that are configured on Unified Communications Manager 
nodes overwrite the settings configured on IM and Presence Service nodes during 
the upgrade process."

Well that's some lazy software engineering right there folks.

"Export user records using the Bulk Administration Tool (BAT)."

That's a nice list of users you got there.  It would be a shame if this upgrade 
deleted all of them.

And the list just goes on, and on, and on.  The pre-upgrade is as long as the 
upgrade.  Who legitimately is already doing 100% of these things?
