Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] ucm 10 upgrade
I just used Prime Collaboration Deployment (PCD) and product worked great but was also full of bugs. The biggest issue we faced was on the night of the cutover a lot of things didn't work like Ringlists, Extension Mobility, and Corporate Directory. TAC had to gain root access to CCM and PCD was the primary account listed for all the services. TAC had to change each entry to CCM and then things started working. I spent about 8hrs with Cisco TAC working on various issues listed with PCD. I think PCD is a great concept but Cisco needs to work out the bugs. I would use caution if you are going to use PCD. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have done a few 10.x upgrade from 7.x and 6.x. I didn't use the prime collaboration. One thing you may want to do is, one you upgrade the systems to 10.x, take a DRS backup and restore it on a 10.x OVA HTH Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 21, 2014, at 1:14 PM, Scott Beauton wrote: > > > I just used Prime Collaboration Deployment (PCD) and product worked great > but was also full of bugs.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] ucm 10 upgrade
Agree with Wilson, I Upgrade the machines to 10.x, backup with DRS, restore the the publisher in the new OVA with 10.x and install subscribers as needed. The cutover must be clean if you dont upgrade the firmware for all the phones at the same time, just make a controlled upgrade for the phones later. I did this a couple of times and the downtime is just how long the equipments take to swap from publisher to subscribers.

Re: [OSL | CCIE_Voice] ucm 10 upgrade
Thanks Mateo and Wilson, Can you elaborate more detail the steps when you upgrade 7.x to 10.x before DRS ? tks, k On Saturday, July 26, 2014 2:11:56 AM, Abel Mateo wrote: Agree with Wilson, I Upgrade the machines to 10.x, backup with DRS, restore the the publisher in the new OVA with 10.x and install subscribers as needed.
