Software Upgrade Overview

Depending on the Cisco Unity Express version you are upgrading from, different software upgrade methods are available. The following methods are supported to upgrade to Cisco Unity Express 2.3:

•Upgrade using the online installer with the software install upgrade command. For specific procedures, see the Upgrading an Existing Software Image section in the Cisco Unity Express 2.3 Installation and Upgrade Guide.

This method is designated as Process "A" in Table 11.

•A "clean" installation process upgrade using the online installer with the software install clean command. For specific procedures, see the Upgrading an Existing Software Image section in the Cisco Unity Express 2.3 Installation and Upgrade Guide.

This method is designated as Process "B" in Table 11.

•A "clean" installation process upgrade using the boot helper. For specific procedures, see the Upgrading an Existing Software Image section in the Cisco Unity Express 2.3 Installation and Upgrade Guide.

This method is designated as Process "C" in Table 11.

Table 11 provides a matrix of the upgrade processes available for the different software releases using the following conventions:

•A = Upgrade Using Online Installer

•B = "Clean" Installation Upgrade Using Online Installer

•C = "Clean" Installation Upgrade Using Boot Helper. For software upgrades where other upgrade options are available, Cisco recommends using this upgrade process only if the other methods are unsuccessful.

Caution If you upgrade using either of the "clean" installation processes, the existing configuration files on the system are not preserved. Any voice mail, greetings or passwords configured on the system are lost.

To preserve your configuration, you must first back up the existing configuration files and restore them after performing the upgrade. If the configuration files are not backed up before performing the upgrade, then Cisco Unity Express must be reconfigured.

When planning your software upgrade, consider the following:

•If you upgrade the software using the online installer, downgrading to an earlier software version is currently not supported.

•If a non-2.3.x license is installed, several null node name error messages are shown on the console display after Populating internal database.... during the bootup sequence. This can be resolved by installing a 2.3.2 version license. This is benign and can be safely ignored. The new licenses only fix the display error. Also, 2.3.x licenses are backward compatible with 2.1.3.

•When you upgrade, make sure to upgrade to the same type of license. For example, if you are running the license SCUE-LIC-50CME, make sure to upgrade to another SCUE-LIC-xxCME license. You can upgrade to a license that offers support for more personal mailboxes. To increase your mailbox license, you must purchase a new license.

•If your system is using an AIM-CUE module with 512 MB compact flash, you must upgrade to the AIM-CUE module with 1 GB compact flash before upgrading the software to
Cisco Unity Express 2.3.

•The online installer is not available on the AIM-CUE module with 512 MB compact flash.

•Downgrading to a license with support for fewer personal mailboxes is not supported. If you want to change the system to support fewer mailboxes, and you cannot restore any previous backups on the larger system, then you must purchase a new license and perform a new installation.

•If you are upgrading from a previous release with non-U.S. English audio prompts installed, you cannot upgrade to Cisco Unity Express 2.3.1, since these languages were not supported in that release. However, you can upgrade to Cisco Unity Express 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 and the languages will be supported.

Software Compatibility

Cisco Unity Express compatibility with other software application versions is described in the following sections:

•Cisco Unity Express Compatibility with Cisco Unified CallManager

•Cisco Unity Express Compatibility with Cisco Unified CallManager Express

•Voice Messaging Networking between Systems

Cisco Unity Express Compatibility with Cisco Unified CallManager

Table 12 lists the Cisco Unified CallManager software versions that are compatible with supported versions of Cisco Unity Express for Cisco Unity Express software licenses with the format SCUE-LIC-xxCCM.

Note Beginning with Release 5.0, Cisco Unified CallManager is known as Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
