Cisco Unity Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide


This chapter should be used in conjunction with the Cisco Unity Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide. New features are described in individual sections. Information that has changed in the Cisco Unity Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide—either because Cisco Unity functionality changed or because the information is incorrect—is described in the "Errors" section at the end of the chapter.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Changing the Accounts That Cisco Unity Services Log On As (Failover Configuration Only)

When Cisco Unity is configured for failover and you are changing the accounts that Cisco Unity services log on as, you must do the following procedure to ensure that both the primary and secondary Cisco Unity servers are configured correctly.

To Change the Accounts That Cisco Unity Services Log On As (Failover Configuration Only)


Step 1 Create the new accounts, and run the Cisco Unity Permissions wizard. If Exchange is the message store, set Exchange permissions.

For more information, refer to the "Creating Accounts for the Installation and Setting Rights and Permissions" chapter of the applicable Release 4.0(5) and Later Cisco Unity installation guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_installation_guides_list.html.

Step 2 If the primary server is active skip to Step 3.

If the secondary server is active, fail back to the primary server:

a. On the secondary server, on the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Cisco Unity > Failover Monitor.

b. Click Failback.

c. Click OK to confirm that you want to fail back to the primary server. The primary server becomes active, and the secondary server becomes inactive.

d. Close the Failover Monitor.

Step 3 In the Cisco Unity Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide, refer to Appendix B, "Cisco Unity 4.x Services," and make a list of the services that log on as the applicable account(s) for your configuration:

Table 1 Accounts that Cisco Unity Directory and Message Store Services Log on As

Message Store
Partner Exchange Server
Make a List of the Services that Log on As the Following Accounts

Exchange

Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2000

Directory services account, UnityDirSvc

Message store services account, UnityMsgStoreSvc

Exchange

Exchange 5.5

Directory and message store services account, UnitySvc

Upgrading to Cisco Unity 4.1(1) Is Not Supported on a System Using a Language Other Than U.S. English

Cisco Unity version 4.1(1) is available only in U.S. English (ENU). You cannot upgrade an existing Cisco Unity system that is using a language other than U.S. English to version 4.1(1).

All other languages, including TTY English (ENX), are not available for use with Cisco Unity 4.1(1).

Using the Intel Dialogic D/120JCT-Euro Rev 2 Voice Card

Some Cisco Unity versions require additional Intel Dialogic software when the D/120JCT-Euro Rev 2 voice card is installed. Table 2 indicates whether the .prm files are required for a newly installed, upgraded, or existing Cisco Unity system.

A procedure for installing the .prm files, if applicable, follows the table.

Table 2 Compatibility of Cisco Unity and Dialogic D/120JCT-Euro Rev 2 Voice Cards 

Cisco Unity Version
Compatibility with D/120JCT-Euro Rev 2 Voice Cards

New Cisco Unity 4.0(5) system

Automatic.

Cisco Unity 4.0(5) system upgraded from Cisco Unity 4.0(1) through 4.0(4)

Requires additional Dialogic software. See the "To Install Additional Dialogic Software for the Dialogic D/120JCT-Euro Rev 2 Voice Card" procedure.

The upgrade process documented in the Cisco Unity Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide does not require reinstalling Dialogic software. Therefore, the required .prm files, which are installed automatically with the rest of the Dialogic software when you install the Cisco Unity 4.0(5) software, are not installed when you upgrade a 4.0(x) system to 4.0(5).

Cisco Unity 4.0(5) system upgraded from version 3.x

Automatic.

The upgrade process documented in the Cisco Unity Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide requires reinstalling Dialogic software. Therefore, the required .prm files are installed automatically with the rest of the Dialogic software when you install the Cisco Unity 4.0(5) software.

Cisco Unity 4.0(1) through 4.0(4) system

Requires additional Dialogic software. See the "To Install Additional Dialogic Software for the Dialogic D/120JCT-Euro Rev 2 Voice Card" procedure.

Cisco Unity 3.x system

Not compatible. The system must be upgraded to Cisco Unity 4.0(5).


To Install Additional Dialogic Software for the Dialogic D/120JCT-Euro Rev 2 Voice Card


Step 1 On a secure server, go to the Other Cisco Unity Components Software Download page at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/unity, and download the file DialogicD120JCTEuro.exe.


Note To access the software download page, you must be logged on to Cisco.com as a registered user.


Step 2 Click the file DialogicD120JCTEuro.exe.

Step 3 When the download is complete, copy the file DialogicD120JCTEuro.exe to the Cisco Unity server.

Step 4 On the Cisco Unity server, in Windows Explorer, double-click DialogicD120JCTEuro.exe.

Step 5 Follow the on-screen prompts to extract the following three files to the directory Commserver\Dialogic\Data:

nz_120jr2.prm

au_120jr2.prm

eu_120jr2.prm

Step 6 Right-click the Cisco Unity icon in the status area of the taskbar, and click Stop Cisco Unity.

Upgrading a Cisco Unity 2.x System to the Shipping Version

The "Upgrading a Cisco Unity 2.x System to the Shipping Version" chapter of the Cisco Unity Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide implies that you can upgrade directly from Cisco Unity 2.x to the shipping version. However, if you are upgrading from Cisco Unity 2.x and you want to export subscriber data from Cisco Unity 2.x and import it into Cisco Unity 4.x, you must:

1. Upgrade to Cisco Unity 4.0(4) and import the data as documented in the "Upgrading a Cisco Unity 2.x System to the Shipping Version" chapter.

Cisco Unity4.0(4) is available on the Cisco Unity Archives download page at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/unity-archives.

2. Upgrade to the shipping version as documented in the "Upgrading Cisco Unity 4.x Software to the Shipping Version" chapter, also in the Cisco Unity Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide.

The application that imports data from Cisco Unity 2.x works correctly only through version 4.0(4).

If you want to upgrade without exporting subscriber data from Cisco Unity 2.x, you can follow the documentation in the "Upgrading a Cisco Unity 2.x System to the Shipping Version" chapter to upgrade directly to the shipping version.
