Upgrade CUCM 8.6 to 11 Using PCD April 22, 2016 Root Cisco , collaboration , cucm , Prime Collaboration Deployment 12 Comments Performing upgrades and migrations of CUCM has always been a long, manual process that required lots of staging and prepping as well as after-hours work. Now i test run Cisco CUCM, and can not run CUCM on VirtualBox 4.2.4r81684 ver. (Cisco Unified Communications Manager 8.6) by AfroNinja » 27. Mar 2013, 16:15 . Hi i have a running CCUCM inside VBOX with web access lots of start / shutdown When i am trying to install CUCM 8.6 i am unable to use the ISO file in the Storage TAB. It gives I considered this video my "crowning achievement" because of how long it took me to figure out the issue wasn't getting the .iso to boot, but actually making a change in the virtualization engine configuration itself :-) : I have received a ISO file "Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_8.6.2.23900-10.sgn.iso" from Cisco presales support to install it on UCS C210M2. I have successfully installed CUCM 8.6. Cisco has asked me to use the same iso file to install CUC8.x. When I mount the ISO file to install I could not see CUC software, I could only see only CUCM software. Just thought I'd post a log file from a recent CUCM 8.6.2.21900-5 to 9.1.1.10000-11 upgrade. I had the ISO uploaded to the ESXi datastore, mounted it to the virtual CD drive, and ran the upgrade from the OS Administration GUI.
BBigford, That will be my last resort since downloading this software from cisco.com, one must Log In and have a valid service contract associated to your Cisco.com profile, it will take me a long time to get the service contract, thus i thought if it was possible to download/copy the iso image from a running CUCM. This is part of the reason for the extra steps in moving to CUCM 8.6. Firstly, Cisco wants you to install a special Cisco Options Package (COP) file on 8.5(1) systems. This file is ciscocm.refresh_upgrade_v1.0.cop.sgn. The 8.6 installer checks for the presence of this file and won’t kick off unless it’s present. When autocomplete results are available use up and down arrows to review and enter to select Software Download - Cisco Systems CUCM version 8.6 likes to see 2 processors and 4GB ram to install. Once you have it installed you can cut back to 2GB to save resources. With 2Gb RAM the startup will bark at you that the system is not compliant to the required resources but you can simply acknowledge to continue. Hi . does anyone tired to install the CUCM 8.6.2 on vmware workstation 7 or 8. when i tried to install it is geting failed am using intel core i7 processor. i have allocated 4 GB ram and 160 GB hdd with 2 processor , but still instaltion geting failed. you can convert them to bootable using the well known method.
At Last!!! I finally found/interpreted enough information to make a video that shows all the "ends and outs" of making the CUCM 8.6 .ISO file bootable and installable in VmWare! :-) DISCLAIMER: FOR LAB USE ONLY!!! Please let me know if this was of use to you if you are/were a CCNA Voice candidate, because I'm one (voice candidate) myself! Solved: Hi, I wanna download a ISO image for fresh install of CUCM 8.6 on UCS, I have ordered the Kit but not yet delivered. Before going live i want to test in the lab environment. I have read many thread that there is no download ISO for the 8.6, Gossamer Mailing List Archive.

Is Hi Jai, I saw the video however for the upgrade you do not need to use bootable. Also, as i said if you upgrade your system sitting on 8.6 to 11.5, you will have a 11.5 system with all the configuration from 8.6 and you can then take the backup of the 11.5 system.. if you are migrating (building new system of 11.5, leaving existing 8.6 system untouched), then the procedure would be different.
