Re: [cisco-voip] Unity Connection 8.0.3 to 8.6
Tim, I did the migration few days ago and used the following steps without issue and converted very quickly 1) Built 8.0.3 on VMware 2) DRS from production and rehosted license 3) Upgraded to 8.6 4) Ran message shuttle prior to cut over 5) Cut system over during the day 6) Ran message shuttle again to clean up any missed files From: cisco-voip [mailto:cisco-voip-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of Tim Frazee Sent: Friday, July 18, 2014 11:52 AM To: Mike Cc: cisco-voip@puck.nether.net Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] Unity Connection 8.0.3 to 8.6 I beleive Unity Connection 8.0(3) is supported in vmware. you could install that on your image, perform a restore, fix your licensing, then upgrade to 8.6 in place.

Re: [cisco-voip] Unity Connection 8.0.3 to 8.6
Hi Mike, Just to understand, what are you trying to gain by using COBRAS? Maybe a phased migration of users? Why not just the straight DRS server replacement method below? You would only have a small window between when you take backup and when you get restored version online where voicemails would not be taken. Is it a HA pair or just single box? The other method with HA is to setup a new box and let it replicate. All the details on the server replacement are here http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/upgrade/guide/8xcucrugx/8xcucrug040.html Cheers, Tim From: cisco-voip [mailto:cisco-voip-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of Mike O Sent: Tuesday, 1 July 2014 12:27 AM To: cisco-voip@puck.nether.net Subject: [cisco-voip] Unity Connection 8.0.3 to 8.6 I have to move from an MCS to UCS in VMware and wondered if I could cut some steps using Cobras. I could build same version in VMware with the same IP address then DRS , change IP address then upgrade to 8.6. With Cobras I should be able to build 8.6 with new IP address on UCS and then export from 8.0.3 and import to 8.6 But..what am I losing using Cobras?
