Rob,

Thank you for info.

I've made a little investigation after your answer to research is it possible

to upgrade from 6.0(1) to 6.1(1) without accessing PUT or requsting Cisco Sales.

The answer seems to be YES.

* 1st evidence

a) Go to CCO

b) Visit the category:

- Voice and Unified Communications >

- Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 6.1 >

- Unified Communications Manager Updates > 6.1(1)

c) You'll see 2 (two) .iso files and a remark:

"Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.1(1) part X of X (non-bootable) - for upgrade from 6.0(1) and 6.0(1a)"

* 2nd evidence

a) Go to URL

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/ccmcompmatr.html#wp40074

b) You'll also see there, that "Direct upgrade" is supported from 6.0(1)

Please, comment, what do you think about it.

Rob, are you there ?

Hey Tobivan,

Sorry mate, was celebrating with family and friends! Happy Holidays!

I'm still going with this most important note;

***Caution: Use the ISO files that are mentioned in the "Upgrading from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0.(1a) or higher to Release 6.1(2) by Using the UCSInstall File" section for upgrades from ***6.1(1x)only.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/rel_notes/6_1_2/cucm-rel_note-612.html#wp396032

I am 99% sure of this caveat. This is still considered a direct upgrade like the matrix mentions, but the Media Kit is required :)

Hope this helps!

Rob

Rob,

To my shame I still cannot understand your answer clearly: can I

upgrade my 6.0(1) to 6.1(1) using the method I've described, or not ?

Thank you.

Hi Tobivan,

No worries my friend, this is my fault for not reading carefully :) In your first post you mentioned upgrading to 6.1(x) and I assumed (I know!) you meant 6.1(2). You **can do the upgrade you were actually talking about with the method you referred to as well. This was CCM 6.0(1a) to 6.1(1). This is shown below.

Use the iso files mentioned in the "Upgrading from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0(1a) or 6.1(1a) to Release 6.1(1b) Using the UCSInstall File" section for upgrades from 6.0(1a) or 6.1(1a) to 6.1(1b) only.

I wrongly was still talking about the upgrade path from 6.0(1a) to 6.1(2) which is not supported using the ISO Files.

***Caution: Use the ISO files that are mentioned in the "Upgrading from Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 6.0.(1a) or higher to Release 6.1(2) by Using the UCSInstall File" section for upgrades from ***6.1(1x)only.

Hope this helps! Sorry about that.

Rob

PS: I would still think about going to 6.1(2) as this is a very good, stable build.
