Frequently Asked Questions about the Cisco CallManager Upgrade

Review the following questions and corresponding responses before you upgrade.

From which versions of Cisco CallManager can I upgrade to Cisco CallManager Release 3.1(4b)?

Cisco supports upgrading to Cisco CallManager Release 3.1(4b), a full version of Cisco CallManager, from Cisco CallManager Releases 3.0(12) or any version of Cisco CallManager Release 3.1. To verify whether other versions of Cisco CallManager are compatible for upgrade, click the following URL to refer to the Cisco CallManager Compatibility Matrix, which provides compatibility information and workarounds for applications integrated with Cisco CallManager:

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/voice/c_callmg/index.htm

If your server runs Cisco CallManager Release 2.4, you must upgrade to the latest version of Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 before you can upgrade to a version of Cisco CallManager Release 3.1.

How long does it take to upgrade a cluster?

Cisco strongly recommends that you perform all upgrade procedures for the Cisco CallManager and Cisco IP telephony applications within a consecutive time period (within one maintenance window) and that you allot adequate time to perform the upgrade. Cisco strongly recommends that you perform the entire upgrade during off-peak hours.

Before you perform an upgrade, consider the time that it takes to perform pre-/post-upgrade tasks and Cisco IP telephony application upgrades.

Many factors, such as the size of the Cisco CallManager or call detail records (CDR) database or the number of Cisco IP telephony applications integrated with Cisco CallManager, affect the time that it takes to upgrade the cluster.

Upgrade Consideration: Allotting Time to Upgrade Cisco CallManager

If you have three servers with 900 devices and no CDRs, the upgrade process takes approximately 3 hours to upgrade Cisco CallManager (excluding Cisco IP telephony application upgrades). The size of your Cisco CallManager or CDR database may increase the time that it takes to complete the upgrade process.

Which server in the cluster do I upgrade first?

Caution Be aware that the order for upgrading a cluster changed; Cisco recommends that you upgrade the backup servers before you upgrade the primary servers. Review the following information carefully before upgrading the cluster.

You must upgrade all the servers in the cluster. See Table 1, which describes the upgrade order for the following cluster configurations:

•The Cisco CallManager service runs on the publisher database server (two server cluster).

•The Cisco CallManager service does not run on the publisher database server.

Table 1 Cluster Upgrade Order

The Cisco CallManager Service Runs on the Publisher Database Server.

The Cisco CallManager Service Does Not Run on the Publisher Database Server.

Step 1

Upgrade the publisher database server. The "Performing the Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 Upgrade" section provides the upgrade procedure for all servers.

When you perform an upgrade, the Cisco CallManager service automatically stops, and the devices homed to the publisher fail over to the subscriber.

Upgrade the publisher database server. The "Performing the Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 Upgrade" section provides the upgrade procedure for all servers.

Step 2

Upgrade the subscriber.

Upgrade the Cisco TFTP server, if it exists separately from the publisher database server.

Step 3

You completed the Cisco CallManager upgrade. Perform post-upgrade tasks.

Upgrade servers that have only Cisco CallManager-related applications (Music on Hold, Cisco IP Media Streaming Application, Cisco Customer Response Applications, etc.) running on them.

Make sure that the Cisco CallManager service does not run on these servers.

Upgrade Consideration: Simultaneously Upgrading Backup Servers and Application Servers in the Cluster

If you choose to do so, you can upgrade the backup server(s) and Cisco CallManager-related application servers at the same time. Before you attempt to perform the upgrades, consider the number of people that are needed to complete the tasks.

Step 4

Not applicable

Upgrade the backup servers.

Upgrade Consideration: Oversubscribing the Backup Servers

If you choose to oversubscribe the backup server(s) during the upgrade, Cisco strongly recommends that you have no more than 5,000 devices registered to the backup server during the upgrade and that you oversubscribe the backup server(s) for no more than a few hours. Cisco strongly recommends that you perform the upgrade during off-peak hours when low call volume occurs (less than 1,000 busy hour call attempts).

Upgrade Consideration: Registering All Devices to the Same Version of Cisco CallManager

If you configured your Cisco CallManager cluster using approved Cisco configuration standards, which include configuring four primary servers and two backup servers in the cluster, you can minimize call-processing interruptions if you register all devices to servers that are running the same version of Cisco CallManager during the entire upgrade process; i.e., you register all devices to the backup Cisco CallManager servers or the primary Cisco CallManager servers, but not to both types of servers.

Step 5

Not applicable

Upgrade the primary servers that have the Cisco CallManager service running on them.

Caution When you upgrade the primary subscriber(s), call-processing interruptions may occur for up to 30 minutes while the devices attempt to obtain the device loads and register to the upgraded version of Cisco CallManager.

How does the upgrade work?

Using this document, you can upgrade the operating system, BIOS, and Cisco CallManager via CD-ROM or the web. To upgrade via CD-ROM, locate the Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System OS/BIOS Upgrade CD-ROM (CD #2) and the appropriate version of the Cisco CallManager 3.1 Installation and Recovery CD-ROM.

Cisco CallManager Components

The Cisco TFTP server, database, and Cisco CallManager service automatically install. When you install the Cisco CallManager service, you automatically install the following services/features/applications:

•Cisco CallManager Serviceability Application

•Cisco Telephony Call Dispatcher

•Cisco CTI Manager

•Cisco RIS Data Collector

•Logout Service (associated with Cisco CallManager Extended Services)

Cisco CallManager Web Components

You install Cisco CallManager Administration and the database. This web-based graphical user interface (GUI) allows you to perform tasks such as adding users or installing and configuring plugins associated with Cisco CallManager.

If you want a standalone database server only (does not have Cisco CallManager installed), check only the Cisco CallManager Web Components check box. With this option, only Cisco CallManager Web Components and the database install on the server.

If you choose not to install Cisco CallManager Web Components at this time, be aware that you will have to reinstall Cisco CallManager if you want Cisco CallManager Administration on the server.

Optional Components

You install the database, Cisco Messaging Interface, and the Cisco IP Voice Media Streamer, which contains the Media Termination Point (MTP), music on hold (MOH), and conference bridge services.

Cisco CallManager places services in a stopped state until the upgrade completes. After the upgrade completes, the services activate and start after the server reboots. For information on starting and stopping services, refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide or to online help in the Cisco CallManager application.

Will I experience call-processing interruptions and a loss of services during the upgrade?

When you upgrade a cluster, you have two separate versions of Cisco CallManager running in the cluster at the same time. Be aware that the different Cisco CallManager versions running in the cluster will not interact, causing call-processing interruptions to occur.

If you configured your Cisco CallManager cluster by using approved Cisco configuration standards, which include configuring four primary servers and two backup servers in the cluster, you can minimize call-processing interruptions if you register all devices to servers that are running the same version of Cisco CallManager during the entire upgrade process; i.e., you register all devices to the backup Cisco CallManager servers or the primary Cisco CallManager servers, but not to both types of servers.

Cisco CallManager places services in a stopped state until the upgrade completes. After the upgrade completes, the services activate and start after the server reboots. For information on starting and stopping services, refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide or to online help in the Cisco CallManager application.

May I use Terminal Services to remotely upgrade the cluster?

Cisco installs Terminal Services, so Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) can perform remote administration and troubleshooting tasks. Cisco does not support upgrades through Terminal Services.

What tasks should I perform before I upgrade the cluster?

Before you begin the upgrade, complete the following tasks that are described in Table 3:

Table 3 Pre-Upgrade Tasks

What additional information should I know before I upgrade?

Caution Be aware that installing or using Netscape Navigator on the Cisco CallManager server can cause severe performance problems. Cisco strongly recommends against installing Netscape Navigator or any other application software on the Cisco CallManager server.

Cisco strongly recommends that you do not run a web browser on the Cisco CallManager server (the server that is running the Cisco CallManager service). Running a web browser on the server causes CPU usage to surge.

Be aware that Cisco does not support third-party software that is installed on any Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) or customer-provided server that meet approved Cisco configuration standards.

This document assumes that all servers in your cluster are currently in an operational state.

If you have CDR Analysis and Reporting (CAR), formerly known as the Administrative Reporting Tool (ART), running on your system before the upgrade, the upgrade process automatically upgrades CAR. For more information about CAR, refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide.

If you changed the default value of a service parameter while you were running Cisco CallManager, the default value does not change during the Cisco CallManager 3.1 upgrade process. If you never changed the default value while a previous version of Cisco CallManager was running, Cisco CallManager updates the parameter value during the Cisco CallManager 3.1 upgrade to match the suggested value seen in Cisco CallManager Administration.

Unless otherwise specified in this document, all further references to the MCS-7835 apply to the MCS-7835, which contains a 733-MHz processor, the MCS-7835-1000, which contains a 1-GHz processor, the MCS-7835-1266, which contains a 1.26-GHz processor, and the customer-provided DL380. All further references to the MCS-7825 apply to the MCS-7825, which contains an 800-MHz processor, and the MCS-7825-1133, which contains a 1.13-GHz processor.

What tasks should I perform after the upgrade?

To ensure that your Cisco CallManager system and Cisco IP telephony applications function properly, Cisco strongly recommends that you review the "Performing Post-Upgrade Tasks" section.

Obtaining Device Default Load Information for Cisco CallManager Release 3.0

Caution Device loads in Cisco CallManager Release 3.0 exist in .cnf format whereas device loads in Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 exist in .xml format. If you choose to revert to Cisco CallManager Release 3.0, the devices will not boot properly unless they are running the 3.0 loads prior to the Cisco CallManager reversion. To revert your system, you must have the device default load information for Cisco CallManager Release 3.0.

To obtain the device default load information that is associated with your Cisco CallManager 3.0 system, perform the following procedure:

Procedure

Step 1 On the publisher server, choose Start > Programs > Cisco CallManager 3.0 > Cisco CallManager 3.0 Administration and log in with administrator privileges.

Step 2 From the CallManager Administration window, choose System > Device Defaults.

Step 3 While you are viewing the Device Defaults Configuration window, write the load information for the devices that are currently associated with your Cisco CallManager 3.0 system in Table 4, which already includes the first four digits of the eight-digit load. This information reflects the device default load information that is associated with the Cisco CallManager 3.0 version that is currently running on your system.

Step 4 File this information, so you can easily access it in the future.

Note To revert from Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 to a previous Cisco CallManager 3.0 release, you must retain the device default load information that is associated with the Cisco CallManager 3.0 version that is running on your system. See the "Reverting to the Previous Configuration after an Upgrade Attempt" section for more information.

Use Table 4 in conjunction with the "Obtaining Device Default Load Information for Cisco CallManager Release 3.0" section.

Backing Up Cisco CallManager Data and Preserving the Hard Drives

After you write down the device default load information, you perform the backup. Cisco CallManager comes with the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility. This utility provides a reliable and convenient way to perform regularly scheduled, automatic backups of Cisco CallManager data.

Note Cisco recommends obtaining a spare hard drive before completing the following procedure; however, you do not have to use a separate drive to preserve the hard drive.

Perform the following steps to back up Cisco CallManager data and preserve the hard drives:

Procedure

Step 1 Perform a Cisco CallManager backup on the publisher server.

For instructions on backing up Cisco CallManager data, refer to latest version of Backing Up and Restoring Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 or the Cisco CallManager installation guide that matches your Cisco CallManager installation CD-ROM.

Step 2 Save the MCS.sti file from the backup server to a tape drive or network directory.

Step 3 If you backed up the MCS-7820, MCS-7822, MCS-7825, MCS-7815-1000, or customer-provided IBM xSeries 330 server, begin the upgrade by completing the steps in the "Performing the Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 Upgrade" section.

Step 4 If you backed up the MCS-7830, MCS-7835, or customer-provided IBM xSeries 340 or 342 server, power off the publisher server and continue to Step 5.

Step 5 Remove the hard drive from Slot 1 and label the drive with the machine name, slot number, and current version of Cisco CallManager.

Step 6 Power on the system. If you have the MCS-7830 or MCS-7835, the system automatically prompts you to press F1 or F2. If you have the customer-provided IBM xSeries 340 or 342 server, the system automatically prompts you to press F2, F4, F5, or F10.

Step 7 To enable interim recovery mode on the MCS-7830 or MCS-7835, press F2 and go to Step 8; to enable interim recovery mode on the customer-provided IBM xSeries 340 or 342 server, press F5 and go to Step 9.

Step 8 This step applies only for the MCS-7830 or MCS-7835. When prompted, press F1 to continue.

Step 9 If a spare hard drive is not available, go to Step 11. If a spare hard drive is available, perform the following steps:

a. After Windows 2000 finishes booting, insert the spare hard drive in Slot 1.

b. For the MCS-7830 or MCS-7835, choose Start > Programs > Compaq Systems Tools > Compaq Array Configuration Utility. When the Array Configuration Utility Warning window opens, click OK.

Note If you cannot find the Compaq Array Configuration Utility, go to the Control Panel by choosing Start > Settings > Control Panel.

For the customer-provided IBM xSeries 340 or 342 server, choose Start > Programs > ServeRaid Manager> ServeRaid Manager.

c. Watch the status bar in the lower, right corner to determine when the drive-mirroring process completes.

Step 10 Repeat Step 3 through Step 9 for each server in the cluster.

Step 11 Begin the upgrade by completing the steps in the "Performing the Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 Upgrade" section.

Performing the Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 Upgrade

Note During the upgrade process, Cisco CallManager services automatically stop, so the software can be upgraded. The services then restart at the end of the process. Because of this brief interruption, call-processing services temporarily stop. You should notify your users that telephone service will be interrupted during this time. Close all programs before proceeding.

After you finish the Cisco IP Telephony Applications backup, you choose to upgrade via the web or CD-ROM. The following sections apply to the upgrade:

Figure 1 CallManager Components Window

Choose the services that you want to activate; then, click Next.

To add or remove services after you complete the upgrade, refer to the "Activating Cisco CallManager Services" section in the latest version of Installing Cisco CallManager Release 3.1.

Note If you activate the Cisco TFTP service (during the upgrade) and the Cisco MOH Audio Translator service (after the upgrade through Cisco CallManager Serviceability) on two separate servers in the cluster, see "Configuring Cisco MOH Audio Translator and Cisco TFTP" section.

Note The publisher database serves as the master database for all servers in the cluster. All servers except the publishing database server maintain subscriber databases, which are copies of the publisher database. If you are configuring a subscriber database server, make sure that the server that you are installing can connect to the publishing database server before the installation can continue. The installation process necessitates this connection, so the publisher database can be copied to the local drive on the subscriber. To make sure a good connection exists between the servers, issue a ping command from the subscriber server to the publisher server before you try to authenticate to it. If you are using Domain Name System (DNS), use a fully qualified domain name (for example, `hostname.cisco.com') with the ping command. If the ping command is not successful, you must exit the installation program, fix the problem, and begin the installation process again.

Step 7 Cisco CallManager autodetects whether you are upgrading the publisher database server or subscriber database server. If you are upgrading the publisher database server, Cisco CallManager automatically chooses I am upgrading/installing the CallManager Publisher. Click Next and go to Step 9.

Figure 2 demonstrates Cisco CallManager autodetection of the publisher.

Figure 2 Cisco CallManager Publisher Autodetection

If a publisher database already exists and you are configuring a subscriber database server, Cisco CallManager automatically chooses I am upgrading/installing the CallManager Subscriber. By default, the publisher database server that is associated with the subscriber displays in the hostname publisher field. You may choose another publisher by clicking Browse. After you choose the appropriate publisher, click Next and go to Step 8.

Step 8 If Cisco CallManager chose I am upgrading/installing the CallManager Subscriber, an authentication window opens and prompts you to enter usernames and passwords for a Windows 2000 user with administrative privileges and a SQL Server username and password with SQL Server administrative privileges on the publishing database server. Enter the account information in the appropriate fields as prompted and then click Next. The system then connects to the publishing database server.

Figure 3 shows an example of the authentication window.

Figure 3 Authentication to Publishing Database Window

Step 9 You have completed the configuration of Cisco CallManager and the database server. Now that the Cisco CallManager and other included software are ready to be installed, click Next. This part of the installation takes about 30 minutes.

Note When entering passwords for the local Administrator and SA (SQL Server system administrator) accounts, do not use the apostrophe. Enter the same Administrator password for the publisher and all subscribers in the cluster, so Cisco CallManager database replication occurs.

Step 10 A prompt asks you to enter a new password for the SA (SQL Server system administrator) account. Enter a new password of at least 5 characters in the New Password field and then enter it in the Retype Password field. Click OK.

Step 11 A message indicates the passwords changed successfully. Click OK.

Step 12 When prompted, click Yes to reboot the system.

Changing the Password for the SQLSvc Account

The Cisco CallManager installation creates the SQLSvc account. At installation, the account receives a unique and encrypted default password that is unique to the cluster. This identical password applies on all servers in the cluster because the servers use the SQLSvc account as the core account for server-to-server interaction in the Cisco CallManager system. If you decide to change the password, make sure that the password for the SQLSvc account is identical on all servers in the cluster.

Caution Each time that you upgrade Cisco CallManager, the SQLSvc passwords reset to the original default. To retain your custom password, you must change the passwords again on all servers in the cluster after each upgrade.

Changing the password for the SQLSvc account includes performing the following tasks:

•Changing the SQLSvc user account password (Step 1 through Step 5)

•Changing the password for all services that use the SQLSvc account (Step 6 through Step 11)

Using the Cisco CallManager Attendant Console

Cisco strongly recommends that you download and use the Cisco CallManager Attendant Console with this version of Cisco CallManager.

Like Cisco WebAttendant, Cisco CallManager Attendant Console, a client-server application, allows you to set up Cisco IP phones as attendant consoles. Employing a graphical user interface, the attendant console uses speed-dial buttons and quick directory access to look up phone numbers, monitor line status, and direct calls. A receptionist or administrative assistant can use the attendant console to handle calls for a department or company, or another employee can use it to manage his own telephone calls.

The attendant console installs on a PC with IP connectivity to the Cisco CallManager system. The attendant console works with a Cisco IP phone that is registered to a Cisco CallManager system (one attendant console for each phone that will be used as an attendant console). Multiple attendant consoles can connect to a single Cisco CallManager system.

The application registers with and receives call-dispatching services from the Cisco Telephony Call Dispatcher (TCD) services on the Cisco CallManager.

For information on downloading and using Cisco CallManager Attendant Console, refer to the latest versions of the following documentation:

•Cisco CallManager Attendant Console Installation and Administration Guide

•Cisco CallManager Attendant Console User Guide

Step 3 Power on the system. If you have the MCS-7830 or MCS-7835, the system automatically prompts you to press F1 or F2. If you have the customer-provided IBM xSeries 340 or 342 server, the system automatically prompts you to press F2, F4, F5, or F10.

Step 4 To enable interim recovery mode on the MCS-7830 or MCS-7835, press F2 and go to Step 5; to enable interim recovery mode on the customer-provided IBM xSeries 340 or 342 server, press F5 and go to Step 6.

Step 5 This step applies only for the MCS-7830 or MCS-7835. When prompted to do so, press F1 to continue.

Step 6 Repeat Step 1 through Step 5 for each server in the cluster.

Step 7 Verify that all services in your Services window are running properly. See the "Performing Post-Upgrade Tasks" section for information on verifying services.

Step 8 Replace the hard drive in Slot 0 and allow the drive-mirroring process to complete.

Reverting the Hard Drive After Driving Mirroring Completes

If you want to revert a hard drive after drive mirroring is complete, you must remove the server from the domain and then add it back to the domain. You must have rights to join the server to the domain before you perform this procedure.

Procedure

Step 1 Choose Start > Settings > Control Panel > System.

Step 2 Click the Network Identification tab.

Step 3 Click the Properties button.

Step 4 Click the Workgroup radio button and enter WRKGRP in the corresponding field.

Step 5 Click OK.

Step 6 When prompted to do so, reboot the server.

Step 7 Log in with administrative privileges.

Step 8 Perform Step 1 through Step 3.

Step 9 Click the Domain radio button and enter the domain name for the server.

Step 10 Click OK.

Step 11 When prompted to do so, reboot the server.

Reverting Upgraded Cisco IP Telephony Applications After You Revert Cisco CallManager

If you reverted the cluster to a previous version of Cisco CallManager, you must revert upgraded Cisco IP telephony applications that are integrated with Cisco CallManager to the appropriate version that is compatible with the reverted Cisco CallManager. To revert the application, perform the following procedure:

Procedure

Step 1 Locate the version of Release Notes for Cisco CallManager that matches the version to which you reverted the cluster.

Step 2 Identify the appropriate telephony product and version in the Compatibility Matrix of the release notes.

Step 3 From the application server or client workstation, if applicable, browse into the reverted server that is running Cisco CallManager Administration and log in with administrative privileges.

Tip To browse into the server, enter http://<CM-server-name>/CCMAdmin/main.asp, where <CM-server-name> equals the name of the server, in the Address bar in the web browser.

Step 4 From the Application menu, choose Install Plugins.

Step 5 Click the appropriate plugin, as seen in the following list:

•Cisco WebAttendant for Cisco WebAttendant

•Cisco Telephony Service Provider for Cisco SoftPhone

•Cisco JTAPI for any application that interfaces with Cisco CallManager by using JTAPI

Step 6 Follow the prompts in the window to complete the installation.

Technical Assistance Center

The Cisco TAC is available to all customers who need technical assistance with a Cisco product, technology, or solution. Two types of support are available through the Cisco TAC: the Cisco TAC Web Site and the Cisco TAC Escalation Center.

Inquiries to Cisco TAC are categorized according to the urgency of the issue:

•Priority level 4 (P4)—You need information or assistance concerning Cisco product capabilities, product installation, or basic product configuration.

•Priority level 3 (P3)—Your network performance is degraded. Network functionality is noticeably impaired, but most business operations continue.

•Priority level 2 (P2)—Your production network is severely degraded, affecting significant aspects of business operations. No workaround is available.

•Priority level 1 (P1)—Your production network is down, and a critical impact to business operations will occur if service is not restored quickly. No workaround is available.

Which Cisco TAC resource you choose is based on the priority of the problem and the conditions of service contracts, when applicable.

Cisco TAC Web Site

The Cisco TAC Web Site allows you to resolve P3 and P4 issues yourself, saving both cost and time. The site provides around-the-clock access to online tools, knowledge bases, and software. To access the Cisco TAC Web Site, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco services contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC Web Site. The Cisco TAC Web Site requires a Cisco.com login ID and password. If you have a valid service contract but do not have a login ID or password, go to the following URL to register:

http://www.cisco.com/register/

If you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC Web Site, and you are a Cisco.com registered user, you can open a case online by using the TAC Case Open tool at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac/caseopen

If you have Internet access, it is recommended that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC Web Site.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses issues that are classified as priority level 1 or priority level 2; these classifications are assigned when severe network degradation significantly impacts business operations. When you contact the TAC Escalation Center with a P1 or P2 problem, a Cisco TAC engineer will automatically open a case.

To obtain a directory of toll-free Cisco TAC telephone numbers for your country, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml

Before calling, please check with your network operations center to determine the level of Cisco support services to which your company is entitled; for example, SMARTnet, SMARTnet Onsite, or Network Supported Accounts (NSA). In addition, please have available your service agreement number and your product serial number.
