Frequently Asked Questions About Upgrading from Cisco CallManager Release 3.2 or 3.1

Review the following questions and corresponding responses before you upgrade from Cisco CallManager Release 3.2 or 3.1.

From which versions of Cisco CallManager can I upgrade to Cisco CallManager Release 3.3(2)?

To verify which versions of Cisco CallManager are compatible for upgrade, refer to the Cisco CallManager Compatibility Matrix. See Table 1.

If your server runs Cisco CallManager Release 2.4 or 3.0, you must upgrade every server in the cluster to the latest version of Cisco CallManager Release 3.1 before you can upgrade to a version of Cisco CallManager Release 3.3. For information on upgrading to Cisco CallManager Release 3.1, refer to the latest version of Upgrading Cisco CallManager Release 3.1.

Which servers, operating system versions, and server configurations does Cisco support for this upgrade?

Cisco supports upgrades to Cisco CallManager Release 3.3(2) on Cisco Media Convergence Servers (MCS), the Cisco ICS 7750, customer-provided IBM xSeries 330/340/342/345 servers, and HP DL320 and DL380 servers that meet Cisco-approved configuration standards.

Cisco supports Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.3 or later with Cisco CallManager Release 3.3(2). You must install the operating system via the operating system CD-ROMs that ship with this version of Cisco CallManager. You cannot upgrade to Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.3 from a previous version of the operating system.


Caution Before the upgrade, Cisco requires that you remove all servers from the NT Domain or a Microsoft Active Directory Domain. Do not add these servers to a domain until you complete the installation or upgrade procedures on all servers in the cluster.

After you verify that you have a good backup of the data, you can remove a drive to save configured data; however, you must insert a replacement drive into the server before you begin the operating system procedures.

Before you begin the operating system installation, make sure that you have all drives in the server and verify that the drives are functional. For example, insert two drives for the MCS-7835 and four drives for the MCS-7845-1400. Neglecting to perform these tasks causes the failure of the Cisco CallManager installation to fail and the loss of data/configuration settings from drive-mirroring.

What CD-ROMs and information do I need for this upgrade?

Before you upgrade the publisher database server, locate the following CD-ROMs and information.

CD-ROMS

Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System Hardware Detection CD-ROM

Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System Installation and Recovery CD-ROM

Cisco requires that you install Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.3 or later with this upgrade. You cannot upgrade to Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.3 from a previous version of the operating system. This release requires that you perform a Same Server Recovery via CD-ROM.

You use only one of the server-specific Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System Installation and Recovery CD-ROMs that come in your software kit. During the operating system installation, you receive a prompt to insert the appropriate CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

Cisco CallManager 3.3 Publisher Upgrade CD-ROM

You use this CD-ROM to start the publisher database server upgrade.

Cisco CallManager 3.3 Subscriber Upgrade CD-ROM

You use this CD-ROM to start all subscriber server upgrades.

Cisco CallManager 3.3 Upgrade (Disk 2) and New Installation/Recovery CD-ROM

You use this CD-ROM to complete all Cisco CallManager upgrades.

Passwords

Before the upgrade, obtain the local Administrator account password, the SQL server SA password, and the computer name of the publisher database server.


Caution When entering passwords for the local Administrator and SA (SQL Server system administrator) accounts, enter alphanumeric characters only. The account password must match on every server in the cluster.


Caution For each of the accounts, you must enter the same password on every server in the cluster.

Use the information in Table 2 when you perform the upgrade procedures.

Table 2 Information That Is Needed During the Upgrade

LDAP (DC) Directory Manager password

(same password for all servers in cluster)

                                    

SQL server SA password

(same password for all servers in cluster)

                                  


Which server in the cluster do I upgrade first?


Timesaver After you finish the entire upgrade of the publisher database server, you can simultaneously install the operating system on all subscriber servers. This task causes call-processing interruptions.

You must perform the Cisco CallManager installation serially.



Caution When you perform the Cisco CallManager portion of the upgrade, you must upgrade one server at a time, so the subscriber servers can pull the replicas of the database from the publisher database server. For the subscriber servers to pull the replicas, the publisher database server must be running, and you must not make any changes on the publisher database server while you are upgrading the subscriber servers. After you complete the upgrade on one server and reboot the server, you can start the upgrade on the next server.

This document assumes that all servers are functional and running. If the servers are not functional and running, failover cannot occur.

You must upgrade all the servers in the cluster. See Table 3, 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 3 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 "Procedures for Upgrading the Publisher Database Server (Required)" section provides the upgrade procedure.

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

 

Upgrade the publisher database server. The "Procedures for Upgrading the Publisher Database Server (Required)" section provides the upgrade procedure.

Step 2 

Upgrade the subscriber.

See the "Procedures for Upgrading Subscriber Database Servers (Required)" section.

 

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

See the "Procedures for Upgrading Subscriber Database Servers (Required)" section.

Step 3 

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

 

Upgrade servers, one server at a time, that have only Cisco CallManager-related services (Music on Hold, Cisco IP Media Streaming Application, etc.) running on them.

Make sure that you upgrade only one server at a time.

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

See the "Procedures for Upgrading Subscriber Database Servers (Required)" section.

Step 4 

Not applicable

 

Upgrade each secondary server, one server at a time.

See the "Procedures for Upgrading Subscriber Database Servers (Required)" section.

About Oversubscribing the Secondary Servers

If you choose to oversubscribe the secondary server(s) during the upgrade, Cisco strongly recommends that you have no more than 5,000 devices that are registered to the secondary server during the upgrade and that you oversubscribe the secondary 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).

About Registering All Devices to the Same Version of Cisco CallManager

If you configured your Cisco CallManager cluster by using approved Cisco configuration standards, which include configuring four primary servers and two secondary 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; for example, you register all devices to the secondary Cisco CallManager servers or the primary Cisco CallManager servers, but not to both types of servers.

Step 5 

Not applicable

 

Upgrade each primary server that has the Cisco CallManager service running on it. Remember to upgrade one server at a time. See the "Procedures for Upgrading Subscriber Database Servers (Required)" section.


Caution When you upgrade the primary server(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.

Step 6 

Not applicable

 

Upgrade servers that have Cisco IP telephony applications running on them; for example, Cisco Conference Connection or Cisco Emergency Responder. Remember to upgrade one server at a time. Refer to the application documentation for more information.


How long does it take to upgrade the publisher database server?

To minimize call-processing downtime, Cisco strongly recommends that you perform all upgrade procedures for the Cisco CallManager and all reinstallations for Cisco IP telephony applications within a consecutive time period (within one maintenance window).

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

For the time that it takes to perform specific tasks on the publisher database server, see the "How does the publisher database server upgrade work?" section.

For the time that it takes to perform tasks on each subscriber server, see the "How does the subscriber server(s) upgrade work?" section.

How does the publisher database server upgrade work?

During the upgrade, Cisco requires that you use the Same Server functionality from Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.3 to migrate data to this release of Cisco CallManager. To successfully upgrade the publisher database server, you must perform all procedures exactly as stated in this document.


Caution Before you start the upgrade, make sure that you perform the recommended backup procedures for all co-resident software applications that are installed on the server. Failing to complete a backup causes a loss of data and configuration settings. For information on performing the backup, refer to the documentation that supports the applications.

Table 4 includes the entire upgrade process on the publisher database server.

Table 4 Required Upgrade Tasks for the Publisher Database Server 

Task
Important Information
Time It Takes To Perform Task

Remove all servers in the cluster from the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain.

See the "Remove the System From the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain and Reboot the Server (Required, If Configured)" section.

Depends on the size of the cluster

Manually disable all platform agents and Cisco-verified applications (Cisco AVVID Partner Applications) that run on the servers in the cluster. Reboot the server.

Disabling platform agents and services, such as performance monitoring (for example, NetIQ), antivirus (Cisco-approved McAfee services), intrusion detection, and remote management services, ensures that the upgrade does not encounter issues that are associated with these services.

20 minutes

Run the Cisco CallManager HealthCheck Utility.

See the "Run the Cisco CallManager HealthCheck Utility" section.

1 minute

Manually remove previous versions of the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup.

Cisco recommends that you perform this task before you insert the Cisco CallManager Publisher Upgrade CD-ROM. If the backup utility installation detects a previous version of the utility, verify that no backup utility exists under the Add/Remove Programs option in Microsoft Windows. Then, continue the installation, even if an error message states that a previous version is detected.

5 minutes

Manually install the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Server Backup Version 3.5.18 or later.

The Cisco CallManager Publisher Upgrade CD-ROM contains the utility that you must install.

About Backup Utility Configuration

When the installation prompts you to configure the Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility, be aware that you must configure the publisher database server as the Backup Server, so data and configuration migration can occur. You cannot uninstall the version of the backup software that installs with this version of Cisco CallManager because this backup utility provides a mandatory component on the publisher database server.

About the Network Directory

If you choose a network directory as the destination for the backup server, the directory must be shared in Windows 2000. To share a directory, log in on that server, right-click the directory folder icon that you want to share, click Sharing..., click Share this folder, and then click OK.

15 minutes

Manually back up the data that is on the publisher database server to either a network directory or local tape drive.

Consider the following information before you back up the server:

About the Backup Utility Version

To back up the data, you must use Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility, version 3.5.18 or later, with this release of Cisco CallManager

About Data Deletion

Do not back up the data to a local directory; the operating system installation erases all data that is stored on the local directory.

About Temporary Disk Space

If the server does not have enough temporary disk space to complete the backup, the backup fails.

About Data Preservation

Only data that is contained on the publisher database service restores.

For example, if Cisco Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) does not reside on the publisher database server, the restoration at the end of the upgrade erases all customized TFTP information, such as specific phone or gateway loads. If you want to retain this information, you must reconfigure the system, so the loads exist on the publisher database server, or you must manually save this data before the restoration.

After the backup, verify that no errors exist. Failure to successfully troubleshoot any problems could cause a total loss of data.

30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the Cisco CallManager and Call Detail Record (CDR) database

After you verify that the backup completed successfully, verify that the dbname.ini and backup.ini files exist. Copy the files to the network directory or tape device where the MCS.sti file is stored.

See the "Verify That the dbname.ini and backup.ini Files Exist for the STI_DATA drive; Copy the Files to the Network Directory Where the MCS.sti File Exists (Strongly Recommended)" section.

 

Using the Cisco-provided operating system CD-ROMs, install operating system version 2000.2.3 or later.

You must install Cisco-provided operating system 2000.2.3 or later via the CD-ROMs that ship with Cisco CallManager. You cannot upgrade to Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.3 from a previous version of the operating system.

About Removing Drives

After you verify that you have a good backup of data, you can remove a drive to save configured data; however, you must insert a replacement drive into the server before you begin the operating system procedures.

Before you begin the operating system installation, make sure that you have all drives in the server and verify that the drives are functional. For example, insert two drives for the MCS-7835 and four drives for the MCS-7845-1400.

You must also remove additional hard drives from the server. Neglecting to perform these tasks causes the failure of the Cisco CallManager installation and the loss of data/configuration settings from drive mirroring.

About Name Resolution

After installing the operating system and before installing Cisco CallManager, you must configure name resolution for the backup location.

About NT and Microsoft Active Directory Domains

Cisco requires that you remove and do not add any servers to the NT Domain or the Microsoft Active Directory Domain until you complete all installation procedures on all servers in the cluster. The installation fails if you do not perform this task.

About Data Recovery

Make sure that you choose Same Server Recovery during the operating system installation. Choosing this option ensures that the server retains the current network configuration data.

About Passwords

Make sure that you enter an Administrator password at the end of the operating system installation. If you leave the Administrator password blank, you cannot install Cisco CallManager on the server.

Ensure that this password is the same on every server in the cluster.

About Operating System Support Patches

Cisco strongly recommends that you do not install any operating support patches until you complete the upgrade on every server in the cluster.

45 to 75 minutes, depending on the server type

Use the Cisco CallManager Upgrade and New Installation/Recovery CD-ROM to install Cisco CallManager.

Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 2.0, and DC Directory automatically install when you install Cisco CallManager via the CD-ROM.

About Configuring Name Resolution on the Backup Location

After installing the operating system installation and before installing Cisco CallManager, you must configure name resolution for the backup location.

About Data Restoration

The CD-ROM that you insert for the Cisco CallManager installation also restores the data that you backed up by using backup utility 3.5.18 or later.

The restoration retains all TCP/IP configuration settings, but you lose all NIC settings that you have manually configured; for example, hard-coded Speed/Duplex settings. You must manually configure these settings after you install all servers in the cluster.

Only the data that is contained on the publisher database server restores to the destination that you specify.

For example, if Cisco TFTP does not reside on the publisher database server, the restoration at the end of the upgrade erases all customized TFTP information, such as specific phone or gateway loads. If you want to retain this information, you must reconfigure the system, so the loads exist on the publisher database server, or you must manually save this data before the restoration. Be aware that the restoration launches automatically.

During the restoration, if your location is a network directory, you must click the Browse button and manually highlight the MCS.sti file. Failure to highlight the file causes the upgrade to fail.

About Installed Services

All services that display in the Service Activation window of Cisco CallManager Serviceability install, but only the services that you configured prior to the upgrade activate after the upgrade completes and the server reboots.

If you want to run additional services, you must activate the service on each server in which you want the service to run. You must perform this task by browsing into Cisco CallManager Serviceability from a PC that does not have Cisco CallManager installed. For more information on how to activate services and for service considerations, refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide.

Cisco CallManager places services in an inactive state until the upgrade completes.

Restoring the Data— up to 70 minutes, depending on the size of the Cisco CallManager and CDR database

Installing Cisco CallManager—45 to 90 minutes


How does the subscriber server(s) upgrade work?

You perform the following procedures to upgrade the subscriber servers:

Perform pre-upgrade tasks.

Verify that you removed all servers from the NT or Microsoft Active Directory Domain.

Run the ServPrep Utility via the Cisco CallManager Subscriber Upgrade CD-ROM.

Install Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.3 by using the Same Server Recovery option.

Perform a new Cisco CallManager installation.

Install the Cisco CallManager support patch.

To complete installation tasks on each subscriber server, you should allot 60 to 120 minutes, depending on the server type. Consider the time that it takes to perform pre-/post upgrade tasks.

For procedures, see the "Procedures for Upgrading Subscriber Database Servers (Required)" section.

How does a co-resident upgrade work if I have CRS installed with Cisco CallManager?

For information on how to perform the upgrade on a co-resident server, refer to the CRS documentation that is compatible with this version of Cisco CallManager.

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

Review the following information before you upgrade.

About Minimizing Call-Processing Interruptions

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 that are running in the cluster will not interact and may cause 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.

About a Loss of Services

During the upgrade, Cisco CallManager places Cisco CallManager-related services that display in Cisco CallManager Serviceability in an inactive state. After the upgrade completes, migrated services activate and start after the server reboots. To use additional services, you must activate the service on each server on which you want the service to run. For information on activating services, refer to the Cisco CallManager Serviceability Administration Guide or to online help in the Cisco CallManager application.

To successfully complete the upgrade, Cisco strongly recommends that you manually stop the following services before you install Cisco CallManager on each server.

ALL Cisco services within the Service Control Panel (services.msc).

MS-SQL Agent

DC Directory

SNMP and its dependencies

IIS Admin and its dependencies

Network Time Protocol


Caution Do not reboot the server after you stop the services.

Do not stop the services on every server at the same time. Stop the services on the publisher database server first, perform the upgrade, and then wait for the services to restart before you stop the services on the next server. Remember to perform this process serially.


Caution Cisco strongly recommends that you perform the upgrade during a single maintenance window to minimize call-processing interruptions.

May I remove a drive before I upgrade?

You cannot remove a drive if you have the MCS-7815, MCS-7820, MCS-7822, MCS-7825, or customer-provided IBM xSeries 330 server.

After you verify that you have a good backup of the data, you can remove a drive to save configured data; however, you must insert a replacement drive into the server before you begin the operating system procedures. The "Removing a Drive, Inserting a Replacement Drive, and Drive Mirroring (Strongly Recommended)" section describes how to properly perform this task.

This task may require that you purchase a new drive.

Before you begin the operating system installation, make sure that you have all drives in the server and verify that the drives are functional. For example, insert two drives for the MCS-7835 and four drives for the MCS-7845-1400. Neglecting to perform these tasks causes the failure of the Cisco CallManager installation and the loss of data/configuration settings from drive-mirroring.

May I use Terminal Services to remotely upgrade the server?

Do not use Terminal Services to upgrade to Cisco CallManager Release 3.3(2). 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.


Caution Before the upgrade, Cisco strongly recommends that you disable Terminal Services and immediately reboot the server to prevent remote access to the server. Accessing the server via Terminal Services may cause the upgrade to fail.

After you upgrade the server, you must enable Terminal Services.

If you want to use Virtual Network Computing (VNC) to remotely upgrade the publisher database server, see Table 1 to obtain the latest version of the VNC document.


Caution If you have installed VNC but do not plan to use it to perform the upgrade, disable it to prevent remote access to the server. If you do not disable VNC and a user/administrator accesses the server during the upgrade, the upgrade will fail.

May I configure a server in the cluster as a Domain Controller?

Do not configure any server in the cluster as a Domain Controller. If you configure any server in the cluster as a Domain Controller, you cannot upgrade or reinstall Cisco CallManager on the server.

May I perform configuration tasks during the upgrade?


Caution Do not attempt to perform any configuration tasks during the upgrade. Before the upgrade begins, disable all services that allow any administrator to perform remote configuration tasks. For example, disable Terminal Services or VNC before the upgrade to prevent an administrator from browsing into the server during the upgrade.

Notify all users that the upgrade is occurring, so users do not browse into the server during the upgrade.

Performing configuration tasks during the upgrade causes an upgrade failure.

Which third-party, Cisco-verified applications may I install on the Cisco CallManager server?


Caution Cisco supports a limited list of applications on the servers where Cisco CallManager is installed. If you are uncertain whether a third-party application is supported, do not install it on the server.


Caution Installing or using Netscape Navigator on the Cisco MCS or the Cisco-approved, customer-provided server causes severe performance problems.

Disabling Third-Party, Cisco-Verified Applications (Required)


Caution To successfully complete installation, upgrade, or restoration procedures, you must disable all Cisco-verified applications/services on every server in the cluster.

Disabling platform agents and services, such as performance monitoring (for example, NetIQ), antivirus (Cisco-verified McAfee services), intrusion detection, and remote management services, ensures that the installation does not encounter issues that are associated with these services.

Which Cisco IP telephony applications may I install on the Cisco CallManager server?

Consider the following information before you install other software besides Cisco CallManager on the Cisco MCS or the customer-provided server:

You can install a compatible version of Cisco Customer Response Solutions (CRS), which you must purchase separately from Cisco CallManager.

Do not install Cisco Unity, Cisco Conference Connection, Cisco Personal Assistant, or Cisco Emergency Responder on the server where Cisco CallManager is installed.

Cisco recommends that you install the Cisco IDS Host Console on a standalone server that is designated for that software. You can install Cisco IDS Host Agents on servers where Cisco CallManager is installed. To access information on Cisco IDS Host Sensor, see Table 1.


Caution If you are uncertain whether a Cisco IP telephony application is supported on the Cisco CallManager server, do not install it.

What post-upgrade tasks should I perform?

Do not perform any post-upgrade tasks until you complete the upgrade on all servers in the cluster. See the "Procedures for Post-Upgrade Tasks" section for more information.

What additional information should I know before I upgrade?

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

About Service and Enterprise Parameters in Cisco CallManager Administration

If you configured customized values that are not between the minimum and maximum range of values, the customized value changes during the upgrade to the maximum or minimum value. For example, if the maximum value equals 10 and the value that you configured is 12, Cisco CallManager automatically sets the value to 10. This rule applies for numeric values only.

If your customized value exists between the range of minimum and maximum values, Cisco CallManager does not change the customized value.

If you never changed the suggested value, Cisco CallManager automatically updates the value during the Cisco CallManager 3.3 upgrade to match the new suggested value.

During the upgrade, some non-servicewide parameters may change to clusterwide parameters (formerly known as servicewide parameters). For clusterwide parameters, if you configured the same customized value on every server in the cluster, Cisco CallManager does not change the value on any server in the cluster if the value exists between the range of minimum and maximum values. If the customized values are not the same on every server in the cluster, Cisco CallManager automatically updates the value to the suggested value. This rule applies for numeric values only.

About Server Names

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 a 800-MHz processor, and the MCS-7825-1133, which contains a 1.2-GHz processor.

About H.323 Intercluster Trunks

A registration problem occurs when multiple Cisco CallManager clusters have the same device name assigned to H.323 intercluster trunks in Cisco CallManager Administration. You must assign a unique device name to each H.323 intercluster trunk. Refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide for information on the trunk configuration procedure.

About H.323 gateways

Cisco no longer provides the Run H.225D On Every Node option in Cisco CallManager Administration for H.323 gateways. Before you upgrade, verify that all H.323 dial-peer(s) point to a Cisco CallManager server in the device profile for which they are assigned. If the session target statements in the dial-peer(s) do not point to the appropriate Cisco CallManager server, calls fail.

About Migrating Cisco CallManager Attendant Console

For your migrated version of Cisco CallManager Attendant Console to work, you must check the Call Park Retrieval Allowed check box for the ac user that you configured in the Global Directory. The attendant console does not initialize if you do not check this check box. For more information on how to perform this task, refer to the Cisco CallManager Administration Guide.

About the Database

After you upgrade Cisco CallManager, the database name automatically increments; for example, from CCM0300 to CCM0301. Third-party CDR software may have SQL triggers that are hard coded to the original database name. The triggers may point to the previous database name and cause all CDR flat files to write to the BAD directory on the publisher database server. If you need technical assistance with this issue, contact the third-party software vendor directly.

What if I encounter problems during the upgrade?

Cisco recommends that if you encounter problems during the upgrade, take the following actions:

1. During the upgrade if you receive an error message that displays in a dialog box, see the "Installation Error Messages" section and perform the recommended corrective action.

2. Obtain and review the log file, ccminst <data/time stamp>.log, from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Cisco\Logs.

Be aware that not all error messages that display in the log file are catastrophic. MSI generates error messages in the log file for many reasons; for example, attempts to access a service that is not used by Cisco CallManager.

Error enumerating registry keys on <Server Name>

Open file request returned Not Enough Space

Step 5 After the backup completes and you verify that no errors occurred, remove the Cisco CallManager Publisher CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive.



Caution If you have not backed up co-resident applications on the server, you will lose the data when you perform the operating system installation. Back up these applications now.

Verify That the dbname.ini and backup.ini Files Exist for the STI_DATA drive; Copy the Files to the Network Directory Where the MCS.sti File Exists (Strongly Recommended)


Caution Cisco strongly recommends that you verify that the dbname.ini and backup.ini files exist on the publisher database server. Cisco IP Telephony Applications Backup Utility, Version 3.5.18 (or later), creates these files during the backup. If these files do not exist, you cannot restore the MCS.sti file.

The files exist in the Recovery directory on the STI_Data drive. Depending on the system, these files exist on the D: or E: drive. For example, the files may exist on the publisher database server in one of the following locations: D:\recover\<name of file> or E:\recover\<name of file>.

After you locate the files, Cisco recommends that you copy the files to the network directory where the MCS.sti file exists.

Removing a Drive, Inserting a Replacement Drive, and Drive Mirroring (Strongly Recommended)

You cannot remove a drive if you have the MCS-7815, MCS-7820, MCS-7822, MCS-7825, or the customer-provided IBM xSeries 330 server.

After you verify that you have a good backup of the data, you can remove a drive to save configured data; however, you must insert a replacement drive into the server before you begin the operating system procedures. This task may require that you purchase a new drive.

This process may take between 30 minutes to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the drive.


Note You must always mirror drives in the MCS-7845-1400 in pairs.


Perform the following steps to remove a drive, to insert a replacement drive, and to mirror the drives:

Procedure


Step 1 Power off the publisher database server.

Step 2 For all servers except the MCS-7845-1400, remove the hard drive from Slot 0 and label the drive with the machine name, slot number, and current version of Cisco CallManager.

For the MCS-7845-1400, remove the drives from slot 0 and 2.

Step 3 Power on the system.

Cisco MCS

Step 4 Perform the following procedure for the Cisco MCS (The MCS-7845-1400 requires two spare hard drives):

Note The Windows 2000 SNMP agent provides security through the use of community names and authentication traps. All SNMP implementations universally accept the default name "public." Cisco sets the community rights to none for security reasons. If you want to use SNMP with this server, you must configure it.


Step 13 To ensure security within the Windows 2000 SNMP agent, Cisco recommends that you change the default public community name. Enter a new name; then, click Next.

Step 14 The installation process automatically enables Terminal Services. If you want, you can disable these services; then, click Next.

Step 15 The CD-ROM drive automatically opens. Remove the hardware detection CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive and insert the server-specific Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System Installation and Recovery CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The configuration process continues automatically after detection of the appropriate CD-ROM. The server begins an installation and reboot process that takes about 10 minutes to complete.

Step 16 The CD-ROM drive automatically opens. Remove the operating system CD-ROM; if prompted, press any key to reboot. If you do not receive a prompt, the server reboots automatically.

Windows 2000 setup begins and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Do not power down the server or press any keys during setup.


Caution If you receive a message that the configuration file is not found, manually enter the information and continue the installation.

Step 17 When the dialog box displays, enter an administrative password in the Password field; enter the same password in the Confirm Password field and click OK.

If you leave the password fields blank, you cannot install any Cisco IP telephony applications on the server.


Tip Make sure that you enter the same password on all servers in the cluster.


Step 18 Log in to the server by using the local Administrator account and password.

Step 19 Continue the upgrade by performing the procedure in "Install Cisco CallManager (Required)" section.



Caution After installing the operating system installation and before installing Cisco CallManager, you must configure name resolution for the backup location.

If you have subscriber servers that you need to install, see the "Procedures for Upgrading Subscriber Database Servers (Required)" section. Then, install the support patch on all servers in the cluster.


Back Up the Current Database (Required)


Caution When you back up the entire database on the publisher database server, do not overwrite the data that you backed up before the migration. To retain the backup file, you must archive or rename the existing MCS.sti file before you perform this backup.

For procedures and more information on backing up the database, refer to Using the Cisco IP Telephony Backup Utility, Version 3.5.18 (or later).

Procedures for Upgrading Subscriber Database Servers (Required)

Table 4 describes how to upgrade the subscriber database servers.

Table 6 Required Upgrade Tasks for the Subscriber Servers 

Step
Task
Important Information and Resources

Step 1 

Perform pre-upgrade tasks.

See the "What pre-upgrade tasks should I perform?" section.

Step 2 

Verify that you removed all servers from the NT or Microsoft Active Directory Domain.

See the "Remove the System From the NT Domain or Microsoft Active Directory Domain and Reboot the Server (Required, If Configured)" section.

Step 3 

Verify that you have disabled and stopped all third-party Cisco-verified applications that run on the server. Make sure that you have rebooted the server.

See the "Disable and Stop Third-Party Cisco-Verified Applications and Reboot the Server (Required)" section.

Step 4 

Verify that you have run the Cisco CallManager HealthCheck Utility on every server in the cluster.

See the "Run the Cisco CallManager HealthCheck Utility" section.

Step 5 

Run the ServPrep utility.

See the "Run the ServPrep Utility (Required)" section.

Step 6 

Manually stop Cisco services, and do not reboot the server.

Manually stop the following services:

All Cisco services within the Service Control Panel (services.msc)

MS-SQL Agent, MS-SQL Server, and other SQL dependencies

DC Directory

SNMP and its dependencies

IIS Admin and its dependencies

Network Time Protocol

Step 7 

Using the Cisco-provided operating system CD-ROM, install Cisco-provided operating system 2000.2.3 (or later).


Caution Make sure that you choose Same Server Recovery when you perform the operating system installation. This choice ensures that you save configured data.

See the "Install the Operating System By Using Same Server Recovery (Required)" section. Consider the same guidelines for the subscriber servers that you used for the publisher database server.

Step 8 

Start the MS-SQL Server service on the server.

You must start the MS-SQL service before you start the Cisco CallManager upgrade.

Step 9 

Perform the Cisco CallManager installation on one server at a time.

Refer to Installing Cisco CallManager Release 3.3(2). See Table 1.


Caution You must perform the Cisco CallManager installation serially; that is, on one server at a time. After you reboot the server and after you verify that the server pulled the subscription from the publisher database server, you can begin the upgrade on the next server.

Step 10 

After each subscriber installation, verify that the subscriber server pulled the subscription from the publisher database server.

See the "Verifying and Reinitializing Subscriber Connections" section.

Step 11 

After you complete the installation on all servers in the cluster, perform post-upgrade tasks.

See the "Procedures for Post-Upgrade Tasks" section.


Run the ServPrep Utility (Required)

Before you install Cisco CallManager, you must run the ServPrep Utility and install Cisco-provided operating system version 2000.2.3 or later by using the Cisco-provided operating system CD-ROMs.

The ServPrep utility, which you run on subscriber servers, updates the network configuration by creating the file, STISys.inf, which contains network information. The utility saves TCP/IP settings, but you lose manually configured NIC settings; for example, hard-coded Speed/Duplex settings. After you complete the installation on all servers in the cluster, you must manually configure previous NIC settings.


Caution This utility supports all Cisco Media Convergence Servers, customer-provided HP DL320 and DL380 servers, and customer-provided IBM xSeries 330, 340, 342, and 345 that meet Cisco-approved configuration standards. Do not run this utility on any other servers, including the Cisco ICS 7750 or any other customer-provided servers.

Procedure


Step 1 Insert the Cisco CallManager Subscriber Upgrade CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive as soon as you are able to do so.

Step 2 When the Upgrade Warning window displays, carefully read the information and click the ServPrep Utility link at the bottom of the window.

Step 3 Run the program from the current location; follow the prompts that display.

Step 4 See Table 4 to continue the subscriber server installation.


Verifying and Reinitializing Subscriber Connections

If the connections between the publisher database server and the subscribers within a cluster are broken for any reason, you cannot replicate the database to the subscribers.

Verifying the Status of the Subscription

In the Enterprise Manager, a red X icon next to the subscription indicates that the subscription is broken.

Reinitializing the Subscription/Starting the Replication Snapshot Agent

If you determine that one or more subscription connections are broken, as indicated by the red X icon next to the subscriptions, reinitialize the subscriptions and start the replication snapshot agent on the publisher database server.

Procedure


Step 1 Open SQL Server Enterprise Manager by choosing Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 7 > Enterprise Manager.

Step 2 In the following path, choose the name of the publisher database that you are configuring: Microsoft SQL Servers/SQL Server Group/<this server's hostname>/Databases/<the publisher database name>Publications.

Step 3 In the main window, right-click the subscription name and choose Reinitialize all Subscriptions. Click Yes to confirm.

Step 4 In the following path, choose the Snapshot Agents folder: Microsoft SQL Servers/SQL Server Group/<this server's hostname>/Replication Monitor/Agents.

Step 5 Right-click the publication name that matches the database name that you are configuring; then, click Start.


In rare cases, the reinitialization of the subscriptions may not work. If you determine that the previous procedure did not work as expected, contact the team that provides technical assistance for this product; for example, your Cisco AVVID Partner or the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).

Viewing the Component Versions That Are Installed on the Server

The stiver.exe program reports the current version of all installation components, including such components as the operating system, upgrade, and backup and restore utility. Be aware that Cisco does not report the actual Cisco CallManager version through this program. Recognize that most of these components, which run from the installation CD-ROMs during the initial installation, no longer exist on the system.

The version for OS Image equals your operating system CD-ROM version number. The version of OS Image will change only if you do a new installation with the Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System Hardware Detection CD-ROM (CD #1).

The version for stiOSUpg.exe equals the version of the operating system upgrade that you last ran either via CD-ROM or via the web. When Cisco updates and releases the Cisco IP Telephony Server Operating System OS/BIOS Upgrade CD-ROM (CD #2), the version of stiOSUpg changes.

Perform the following procedure to view the component versions that are installed on the server:

Procedure


Step 1 Use Windows Explorer to browse to the following folder:

C:\sti\stiver

Step 2 View the versions of the components that are running on your server.


Upgrading TAPI, JTAPI, and Cisco Telephony Service Provider (TSP)

You must upgrade the Telephony Application Programming Interface and Java Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI/JTAPI) client software on any application server or client workstation on which TAPI/JTAPI applications are installed. If you do not upgrade the TAPI/JTAPI client, your application will fail to initialize.

The following information applies if you have integrated a Cisco Unity system with Cisco CallManager. TSP makes the voice-mail ports available to Cisco Unity. To ensure that Cisco Unity integrates properly with Cisco CallManager, you may need to upgrade the TSP that is integrated with the voice-mail system. To ensure that you upgrade to the appropriate TSP release, refer to the Cisco CallManager Compatibility Matrix.

You can use the Cisco TAC website 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 website, go to this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/tac

All customers, partners, and resellers who have a valid Cisco service contract have complete access to the technical support resources on the Cisco TAC website. Some services on the Cisco TAC website require 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 this URL to register:

http://tools.cisco.com/RPF/register/register.do

If you are a Cisco.com registered user, and you cannot resolve your technical issues by using the Cisco TAC website, you can open a case online at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/support/index.html

If you have Internet access, we recommend that you open P3 and P4 cases through the Cisco TAC website so that you can describe the situation in your own words and attach any necessary files.

Cisco TAC Escalation Center

The Cisco TAC Escalation Center addresses priority level 1 or priority level 2 issues. 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 automatically opens a case.
