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 midga...@gmail.com 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. 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.
