Firmware Upgrade Issues for SCCP
Note the following firmware upgrade issues:
•
If you are currently running firmware earlier than 6.0(2) on a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7911G and 7906G and want to upgrade to 8.0(x), you must first install an intervening 7.0(x) load to prevent upgrade failure. Cisco recommends using the most recent 7.0(3) load as the intervening load to avoid lengthy upgrade times.
•
If you are currently running firmware 6.0(2) to 7.0(2) on a Cisco Unified IP Phone 7911G and 7906G and want to upgrade to 8.0(x), you can do so directly. However, expect the upgrade to take twice as long as usual.
