Upgrade CUCM 8.6.2 to 9.1

[Greg Sleszynski]

Hello,

We were looking into setting up CUPS so that we can deploy Jabber/Presence to our users and then discovered that CUCM 9.1 has Cisco IM & Presence built in as a service. My question is, if we upgrade to 9.1, can we leave Unity Connection at 8.6 or does that need to be upgraded as well? Also, what package needs to be downloaded to perform the upgrade? We are currently running 8.6 on a VM and I read that it is an L2 upgrade.

Thanks for your help.

No, IM&P is not built in as a service in CUCM, you do need to install and configure your IM&P server.

Yes, you can keep your CUC on that release.

Review the upgrade guides for CUCM as well as the Release Notes, all the info you need is there.
