Introduction

This document describes the procedure for an upgrade of a dual-sided, two-tier Unified CCMP system. The upgrade process described in this document is an in place upgrade. This means that the software remains on the same servers after the upgrade. This document is suitable for deployment of Unified CCMP Maintenance Releases, Service Releases and upgrades where dependent software versions have not been changed (for example, OS and SQL Server).

Prerequisites

Requirements

This document is intended for System Administrators with knowledge of their Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE) and hosted Unified CCE system architecture. Microsoft SQL Server database administration experience is also helpful.

Components Used

This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.

Conventions

Refer to Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.

Distributed Architecture

Unified CCMP employs a distributed architecture for dual-sided systems.

When upgrading the platform the design and architecture must be considered to ensure the minimal amount of down-time is achieved and no data loss is incurred.

Resilience is achieved by the use of a second side of the system containing the same components as the primary side:

upgrade-ds-ccmp-01.gif

SQL Server replication is used to replicate data from Side A to Side B and Side B to Side A.

Failover information for the individual CCMP components is stored in the databases on side A and B and is also replicated via SQL Server replication. This means that both sides have knowledge of primary and secondary server configuration made through the CCMP Configuration Management tool even when replication has been removed.

upgrade-ds-ccmp-02.gif

Therefore, when a replicated system is upgraded one side at a time it is possible for the individual components of CCMP to fail-over to the other non-upgraded side. This will result in data inconsistencies as some data is entered to side A and some to side B with no replication running to synchronize the two sides.

This document details two processes for upgrading dual-sided systems provided a simple process for in place upgrade where all components are updated at once, and a more complex process which aims to maximize uptime and provide a mechanism to test an upgraded side before progressing.

Upgrade Procedure

This document describes the procedure for an upgrade of a dual-sided, two-tier Unified CCMP system to a later version. The document is based on the upgrade of a Unified CCMP 8.0(1) system being upgraded to Unified CCMP 8.5(1). However, the same process and procedures can be applied to previous versions of Unified CCMP as well as Maintenance Release and Service Release deployment.

Note: Upgrading to CCMP 8.5(2) or later requires an upgrade of Operating System. This procedure is covered in detail in the Installation Guide for the associated version. This documentation can supplement its content. However, it is recommended that the procedure described in the installation manual be performed.

It is assumed that the Unified CCMP component layout for the existing system is as follows:

A Side B Side
Web/Application Server A Web/Application Server B
Unified CCMP Web Application Unified CCMP Application Server Unified CCMP Web Application Unified CCMP Application Server
Database Server A Database Server B
Unified CCMP Database Unified CCMP Data Import Server Unified CCMP Provisioning Server (not present in 7.5.x) Unified CCMP Database Unified CCMP Data Import Server Unified CCMP Provisioning Server (not present in 7.5.x)

The process described in this document is an in place upgrade. This means that the software remains on the same servers after the upgrade.

In place upgrade of dual sided systems cab be performed two ways:

  • Total outage—This involves un-installing the entire CCMP installation at once, upgrading the complete system and then restoring complete service with the new version. It is recommended to use this approach where possible as it provides a simple means to update the system without the additional complications of running two un-replicate systems side by side.

  • Split side upgrade—This mechanism of upgrade provides the customer with minimal down time and a means to upgrade and test on one side of the system before migrating over the other side. This approach should only be used when absolutely necessary, it involves a complex upgrade process and increases the chance of data loss when the systems are re-replicated at a later date.

Total Outage Upgrade

Overview and Checklist

The following checklist describes the steps involved to perform an upgrade where all servers will be upgraded at once. It can be used to track progress through the upgrade and ensure no steps are missed.

Note: Before you proceed with the upgrade please ensure you have the original cryptographical passphrase entered during the original CCMP installation as you will need it at several points during the upgrade.

Split Side Upgrade

Overview

This section describes the procedure to be performed to split a dual-sided system and run two different versions of the software side by side on either side of the system.

This configuration requires replication and communication channels to the alternate side of the system to be broken so each side may operate independently as a single sided system.

This mode of operation should be used with caution. While CCE and CCM changes committed to side B will be imported from the AW onto Side A, any CCMP specific configuration (for example, folders, users, security etc.) that is added/ changed or deleted on Side B will not be reflected on Side A, even after replication is restored.

When replication is restored configuration from the A-Side of the system will replace all configuration on the B-Side of the system.

Note: Before you proceed with the upgrade please ensure you have the original cryptographical passphrase entered during the original CCMP installation as you will need it at several points during the upgrade.

Force Failover Connections to the active side

To operate the 2 sides as independent systems, host file entries should be added to point failover connections to the current active side. This reduces the possibility that a failover will occur to the other sides DB when replication is down.

Since the failover information is held in the DB, both sides know about the other side even though they are currently not replicated or running the same version. Should a failover occur then data integrity will be lost so whilst operating in single sided mode it is advised that the failover connections be added to the hosts file on each machine to point back to the active side.

In the following deployment:

upgrade-ds-ccmp-03.gif

Host file entries must be as follows:

CCMP DBA
127.0.0.1 CCMP DBB
CCMP DBB
127.0.0.1 CCMP DBA
CCMP WEBA
<IP ADDRESS OF CCMPDBA> CCMP DBB
127.0.0. 1 CCMP WEBB
CCMP WEBB
<IP ADDRESS OF CCMPDBB> CCMP DBA
127.0.0. 1 CCMP WEBA

These entries must be removed once the upgrade is complete and the B Side is re-replicated with Side A.

Update Side B to enable Provisioning and Import

If the sides of the system are to be ran independently for a sustained period of time they it may be required to enable provisioning and import to run on both Side A and Side B at the same time.

This configuration may be achieved by performing the Manual Provisioning/Import Failover steps contained in the Administration Manual on the B Side database.
