Advice me on this upgradation steps

You can refer below upgrade guide, it will help you to plan perfectly.

You need to request the license via Product Upgrade Tool, you need to get converted DLUs to UCL/CUWL from Cisco as per your requirement, license structure has changed in 9.x and later.

CUCM 10.0 and beyond is only supported in a virtualized deployment so you need to take care of it.

Hi Siva,

If you do not have the UCSS, then ,, u need to contact Partner who could provide u with BoQ for migration.

Hi Siva,

Basically, PCD is an pplication used for migration of legacy CUCM clusters version 6.1.5, 7.1.5 , 8.x to new VM based servers.Also, to change IP address on CUCM 10, switch versions,reboot and install COP files.

In your case, u can upgrade to 10 even without PCD. Just need to check the compatibility matrix.

Hello

1-As mr/Aman , you will need to purchase UCSS for 1 or 3 years up to youfrom one of the Cisco parteners resellers , which allow you to do upgrade ,then you can purchase as optional ESW which is useful to contact TAC for any upgrade Bugs .After that we can do convert from DLU to UCL via the product upgrade tool (PUT). Keep in your mind 6 DLUs converted to 1 X UCL.

Thanks

Dear Islam,

Should i required PCD for this upgradation?

[islam.kamal]

Hello

I have a question , the upgrade will be for only CUCM or CUC , CUCX?.

You have the both ways "UCSS or PCD" // "where PCD do not need for licesnes" .PCD is a special feature for  V10.X  .

1-The PCD SW & ova should be shipped along with the CUCM 10.x bootable image.You should be able to find the OVA in www.cisco.com downloads section using the following path.

or

2-Downloads Home > Products > Unified Communications > Call Control > Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CallManager) > Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 10.0 > Unified Communications Manager Virtual Machine Templates-10.0(1).

You also need to review the RNs and new and changed documentation prior to any actual work on the servers.

You can also consider PCD
