This appendix contains the following sections:

Downgrading from SQL Server 2000 to MSDE 2000 on an Existing Cisco Unity 3.1 System

Downgrading from Cisco Unity Version 3.1 to 2.4(6)

Downgrading from SQL Server 2000 to MSDE 2000
on an Existing Cisco Unity 3.1 System

Licensing for Cisco Unity version 3.1 requires that you install Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Desktop Engine (MSDE 2000) on systems with 32 ports or fewer. If you installed Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition on a system with 32 ports or fewer, you need to downgrade to MSDE 2000 before Cisco TAC will provide support for the system. Note that this does not apply to a Cisco Unity system set up for failover, for which you always install SQL Server 2000, regardless of the number of ports.

To Downgrade from SQL Server 2000 to MSDE 2000


Step 1 Back up the UnityDB database by using Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager.

Step 2 Uninstall SQL Server 2000 by using the Add/Remove Programs control panel.

Step 3 Restart the Cisco Unity server.

Step 4 Install MSDE 2000 and Enterprise Manager by doing the three MSDE 2000 procedures in the "Installing SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000" section on page 2-25.

Step 5 Restart the Cisco Unity server.

Step 6 Using Enterprise Manager, restore the database that you backed up in Step 1.

Step 7 Restart the Cisco Unity server.
