Correct, ordinarily that would be what I would do as well. In this case though, I am trying to avoid upgrading the firmware on anything, other than the devices I am trying to get support for.

Thanks,

    I need to install a device pack on a 2 node 9.1(2) CCM cluster to
    get support for some 88xx phones but I do not want to update the
    loads for anything else.

    The approach I am going to use is:

    Drop the publisher out of the CM Group, forcing all phones to the
    subscriber. Install the device pack on the publisher and reboot
    the publisher. Once the publisher is backup, set all the device
    defaults back to what I want them to be then add the publisher
    back to the CM Group. Then drop the subscriber from the CM Group
    forcing all the phones on the publisher and start the install
    process over for the subscriber. Once everything is back up add
    the subscriber back to the CM Group.

    Does that sound reasonable or is there an easier way?


Any time I've needed device support I just install it on all the nodes then reboot them one at a time during a maintenance window. As long as both nodes are running call processing, they'll fail over when the node reboots. Not sure about on 9.X, but on 10.X this just shows as a blip on the phones of them reregistering, not a full reboot. Obviously if you install new software for those phones, they'll upgrade software when they reboot.

You shouldn't need to install the whole device pack update, just the cmterm-88xx-sip.10-2-2-16.cop.sgn file. That's all we did when we needed support for the 8831 conf phones. You don't need to install the whole cmterm-devicepack file to get support for one phone, that just makes it more convenient to get all of them upgraded at once.
