© 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.CIPT1 v6.0—1-31 Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.x and 6.x Upgrades Upgrades from Release 5.x or higher is done from the Cisco Unified Operating System Administration page. Cisco Unified Communications Manager provides dual partitions. –Holds two copies of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager software and database (active and inactive partitions). Upgrade Process. –Perform a backup using Disaster Recovery System (DRS). –Start the installation of the new version (performed in the background while current version is operating). –After new version has been installed to inactive partition, reboot, switching to new version. –Cisco Unified Communications Manager will boot from partition where new version has been installed.
© 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.CIPT1 v6.0—1-32 Dual Partitions Dual partitions each have Unified Communications Manager software and database. Enables continued operation when you upgrade software. Upgrade software installs on the inactive partition. Activates the upgraded software by “switching versions” during reboot. Current active partition becomes inactive and retains current “old” software until next upgrade. If versions are switched before next upgrade, you revert to previous version. System maintains two versions of software (does not apply to Release 4.x upgrades). Inactive Partition Active Partition 5.1(1) 6.0(1) 5.1(1) 6.0(1)
© 2008 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.CIPT1 v6.0—1-33 Installation Procedures for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Upgrade Back up the existing Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 5.1(1) system using the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Disaster Recovery System (DRS). Ensure that SFTP/FTP server is available to perform the upgrade remotely or that an upgrade image is available on DVD to perform the upgrade locally. Log in to the Cisco Unified Operating System Administration page and start the upgrade. Cisco Unified Communications Manager upgrades can be done without affecting call processing, and server can be rebooted later during a service window after the upgrade. Install updated license file (if required). Reboot and switch version on publisher and wait until it is initialized and fully operational.
