Upgrading from Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003 on a Bridge 3.1 or Later Server

Task List: Upgrading From Windows 2000 Server to Windows Server 2003

1. Review the requirements:

–For Cisco Unity Bridge system, hardware, and software requirements, see the Cisco Unity Bridge System Requirements, and Supported Hardware and Software, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Caution Cisco Unity Bridge version 3.0(x) and earlier do not support Windows Server 2003. You must upgrade to Bridge version 3.1(1) or later at the same time that you upgrade to Windows Server 2003.

Caution Cisco Unity Bridge does not support Brooktrout TR114 voice-fax cards when the Bridge server is running Windows Server 2003. If you are upgrading Windows on an existing Bridge server with which you are using TR114 cards, you must replace the TR114 cards with TR1034 cards during the Windows upgrade.

–For related networking requirements, see the "Bridge Networking Requirements" section in Cisco Unity Networking Options Requirements, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_device_support_tables_list.html.

Plan ahead to do the following tasks after normal business hours, or when voice message delivery between Cisco Unity and Octel subscribers is least critical.

2. Stop Bridge services. See the "Stopping Bridge Services" section.

3. Back up Bridge data. See the "Backing Up Bridge Data" section.

4. Disable and stop services for virus-scanning software and Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unity Bridge. See the "Disabling and Stopping Virus-Scanning and Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unity Bridge Services" section.

5. Reinstall all software on the Bridge server and, if the server or expansion chassis contains TR114 voice-fax cards, replace the cards. See the Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide for Bridge version 3.1 or later, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

6. Restore Bridge data. See the "Restoring Bridge Data" section.

7. If you did a staged shutdown of Bridge services: Restart the Interop Gateway service. See the "Restarting the Interop Gateway Service" section.

Stopping Bridge Services

To Stop the Bridge Services

Step 1 If the Bridge server is still processing messages, we recommend that you continue with Step 2 to do a staged shut down of the Bridge services to make sure that there are no messages left on the Bridge server when you upgrade.

If the Bridge server is not processing messages, on the Bridge server Windows Start menu, click Programs > Administrative Tools > Services, and stop the following services:

•Digital Networking

•Unity Bridge

Any calls that are in progress are allowed to finish before the services are stopped.

After the services stop, skip the rest of this procedure.

Step 2 On the Cisco Unity server on which the Interop Gateway service is running, click Programs > Administrative Tools > Services, right-click CsDomInteropGty, and select Stop. Messages from Cisco Unity subscribers and from the Bridge will be held in the Interop Gateway mail file until you restart the service.

Step 3 Confirm that there are no more messages queued in the following directories on the Bridge server:

•VPIM\Xcode\Inbound

•VPIM\VM\In

•IN

Messages pass through these directories quickly, in the order listed, before reaching the analog queues.

Step 4 In the Bridge Administrator, click Queue Status to see if there are outgoing messages in the analog queues. Wait for all messages in the queues to be sent before proceeding. You can view call progress on the Line Status page to determine when the outbound calls have finished.

Step 5 On the Bridge server, on the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Administrative Tools > Services, right-click Unity Bridge, and select Stop. Any incoming calls that are in progress are allowed to finish before the service is stopped. When the Unity Bridge service has been stopped, the Bridge is unable to accept calls from the Octels.

Step 6 Confirm that there are no more messages queued in the following directories:

•Starfish\Out

•Out

•VPIM\Xcode\Outbound

•VPIM\Internet\Out

Messages pass through these directories quickly, in the order listed, before being sent via SMTP to Domino.

Step 7 When you are sure that there are no more messages on the Bridge server, in the Services window, right-click Digital Networking, and select Stop.

Step 8 Close the Services MMC.

Backing Up Bridge Data

To Back Up Bridge Data

Step 1 Back up the following files and directories either by copying them to a network drive or by using third-party backup software:

•SN (include all files and subdirectories)

•Starfish\Db\StarFish.mdb

•VPIM\Vpim.cfg

•VPIM\Propagation (include all files and subdirectories)

Note The paths above are relative to the drive and directory in which the Bridge software is installed. The default is D:\Bridge.

If you are using third-party backup software, refer to the manufacturer documentation or Help for detailed instructions.

Disabling and Stopping Virus-Scanning and Cisco Security Agent for Cisco Unity Bridge Services

To Disable and Stop Virus-Scanning and Cisco Security Agent Services

Step 1 Refer to the virus-scanning software documentation to determine the names of the virus-scanning services.

Step 2 On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.

Step 3 Disable and stop each virus-scanning service and the Cisco Security Agent service:

a. In the right pane, double-click the service.

b. On the General tab, in the Startup Type list, click Disabled. This prevents the service from starting when you restart the server.

c. Click Stop to stop the service immediately.

d. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.

Step 4 When the services have been disabled, close the Services MMC.

Reinstalling All Software on the Bridge Server

Reinstall all software on the Bridge server and, if the server or expansion chassis contains TR114 voice-fax cards, replace the cards. (The Bridge does not support TR114 cards when the server is running Windows Server 2003.) See the Cisco Unity Bridge Installation Guide for Bridge version 3.1 or later, available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Restoring Bridge Data

Do the following procedure to restore Bridge data that you backed up in the "To Back Up Bridge Data" procedure.

To Restore Bridge Data

Step 1 On the Bridge server Windows Start menu, click Programs > Administrative Tools > Services, and stop the following services:

•Digital Networking

•Unity Bridge

Step 2 Restore the following files and directories either by copying them from a network drive to the Bridge server or by using third-party backup software:

•SN (include all files and subdirectories)

•Starfish\Db\StarFish.mdb

•VPIM\Vpim.cfg

•VPIM\Propagation (include all files and subdirectories)

Note The paths above are relative to the drive and directory in which the Bridge software is installed. The default is D:\Bridge.

If you are using third-party backup software, refer to the manufacturer documentation or Help for detailed instructions.

Restarting the Interop Gateway Service

If you stopped Bridge services using the staged shutdown method in the "To Stop the Bridge Services" procedure, you must restart the Interop Gateway service manually. Do the following procedure.

To Restart the Interop Gateway Service

Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server on which the Interop Gateway service is running, click Programs > Administrative Tools > Services, right-click CsDomInteropGty, and select Start.

Step 2 Close the Services MMC.
