Yep. Besides the steps in docs above, The expand space cop file if the upgrade needs you to change the disk space for new version per OVA template specs. The RTMT low watermark trick works very well, but sometimes doesn't free up quite enough so then you need to manually go find files to clear.

I should have looked at that link a bit closer, it doesn't mention the cop file: http://www.cisco.com/web/software/282204704/18582/CleanupCommonCOPfilev1.4.pdf Which is the 3rd method, but there is a caveat, so read it closely. On Sun, Aug 27, 2017 at 11:25 PM, Charles Goldsmith

I've done a few dozen inplace upgrades of CUCM, Unity, UCCX with existing VMs with no real issues over the past few years. Talking 8.x to 10.x or 11.x or 9.x to 10/11.x. Issues encountered: Freeing up disk space on existing VM for the RU/SU to install on a few upgrades (more of a slow down)

1. I'm guessing we are 10% True bugs and 90% environment, but I will agree with other comments about DNS and NTP being a dumb reason to fail 2. as for time, over the years we used to spend over 6 months on upgrades.. we are down to about 2 months. in our enviroment we have to document all

1. That's kind of a loaded question. 90% bugs where bugs also includes the system is "functioning as designed". Most failures I've encountered, as a partner, occur as a result of the applications heavy reliance on DNS (if configured) and NTP. Would be nice if there was an option to bypass

I would tend to agree that the overall installation process could improve (not that I want to give up my ANSI art or anything). Most of the installation process today is merely an extension of the underlying Linux kernel. I would settle for more verbose feedback when errors are encountered,
