The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.
The ability to automatically switch one or more nodes in a cluster to the upgraded or inactive version is now available on clusters that contain IM and Presence Service nodes. For more information about the Switch Versions task, see the Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment Administration Guide.
The Reuse Sequence from Previous Task feature uses a previously defined task sequence in the task you are currently creating. This feature is useful for upgrade, restart, switch version, migration, and readdress tasks. It allows you to reuse a previously configured task sequence as opposed to having to rescript the sequence from scratch.
During task creation, the task wizard progresses to the sequence pane where a user can configure the ordering and pause characteristics. If there is a task in the system of similar type, the sequence from that task is presented as the default sequence.
In this case, a check box labeled Use Last Configured Run Sequence is visible just above the sequence table. You can check the check box to use the sequence from the previous task or leave the check box unchecked to use the default sequence that the system generates.
To be considered a task of similar type, the selected cluster, task type, and nodes in the task must match exactly. If multiple tasks meet the similar type criteria, the most recently created task is used and its sequence is presented as the default to the user.
In the case of an upgrade task, there is an additional requirement. The type of installation must be either ISO based or COP based. The COP and ISO installations can be performed with different sequencing.
