Preparing for a Possible Downgrade to Cisco Unity Version 3.1(5)

Back up the system by using the Cisco Unity Disaster Recovery Tool before beginning the upgrade process. Because the Disaster Recovery Tool only restores to the exact version of Cisco Unity that you backed up, you back up a Cisco Unity version 3.1(5) system.

To prepare for a possible downgrade to Cisco Unity Version 3.1(5)


Step 1 Upgrade Cisco Unity to version 3.1(5), if applicable. Refer to Release Notes for Cisco Unity Release 3.1(5), available on Cisco.com at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/prod_release_notes_list.html.

Step 2 Download the Cisco Unity Disaster Recovery Tool. The tool is available at http://ciscounitytools.com/.

Step 3 Back up the Cisco Unity system by using the Disaster Recovery Backup tool. Refer to the tool Help.


Converting from the System Key to License Files

Cisco Unity has changed its license-control process from using a physical system key to using electronic license files. License files are now required for installing Cisco Unity software, for some upgrades, and for changing licensed features. A system key is no longer required.

When you upgrade from Cisco Unity version 3.x to version 4.0, you must complete registration information on Cisco.com. Shortly after registration, Cisco e-mails the license file(s). The e-mail from Cisco contains instructions on how to save and store the files. The Cisco Unity Installation Guide provides specific instructions later in the upgrade process on the use of the license file(s) and when to remove the system key.


Note If the system is using failover, install the license file(s) on only the primary server.


The following information is required during registration:

The MAC address (physical address) for the network interface card (NIC) in the Cisco Unity server.

The serial number of the currently installed system key.

The currently installed system key code.

The product authorization key (PAK), which is listed in the Cisco Unity Software Keys booklet that is shipped with the software discs.

Do the following four procedures in the order listed.

To get the MAC address of the Cisco Unity server


Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server, on the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

Step 2 In the Command Prompt window, enter ipconfig /all, and press Enter.

Step 3 Write down the value of Physical Address, excluding the hyphens, or save it to a file that you can access during online registration. (For example, if the physical address is 00-A1-B2-C3-D4-E5, record 00A1B2C3D4E5.)

If the server contains more than one NIC, one value will appear for each NIC. Use the value for the primary NIC.

Step 4 Close the Command Prompt window.


To get the serial number of the currently installed system key


Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server, on the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Cisco Unity > Key Dump.

Step 2 Write down the value for Serial Number, or save it to a file that you can access during online registration.

Step 3 Click Exit to close the Key Dump window.


To get the currently installed system key code


Step 1 On the Cisco Unity server, on the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Cisco Unity > Upgrade License.

Step 2 Click Generate Current System Code. Do not change the code type.

Step 3 Click Save to File, and save the system code to a file that you can access during online registration. (The default name of the file is AvSysCode.txt.)

Step 4 Click Exit to close the Generate Current System Code window.

Step 5 Click Exit to close the Upgrade License window.


To register and obtain the license file(s)


Step 1 Browse to the applicable software registration site (URLs are case sensitive):


Step 2 In the Voice Products section, under Cisco Unity Software, click 4.0 Upgrading from 2x/3x.

Step 3 Enter the requested information.

Step 4 When you are ready to enter the Currently Installed Key Code, double-click the key code file you saved in the procedure "To get the currently installed system key code." (The default name of the file is AvSysCode.txt.)

Step 5 Copy the value for EncryptionData, and paste it into the Currently Installed Key Code field.

Step 6 When you have completed the form, click Submit.

Step 7 Shortly after registration, you will receive an e-mail with the Cisco Unity license file(s).

If the license file(s) are lost, it can take up to one business day to get another copy.


If you do not receive the license file(s) within 1 hour or to get another copy of a license file, call the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) and ask for the Licensing Team:

In the U.S.

800 553-2447

Outside
the U.S.

For your local Cisco TAC phone number, refer to the website http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/687/Directory/DirTAC.shtml.


Or send e-mail to licensing@cisco.com.

You will need to provide information to verify Cisco Unity ownership—for example, the purchase order number or the PAK (which is listed in the Cisco Unity Software Keys booklet that is shipped with the software discs).


Note Cisco Unity software comes with a default license file that has a minimal number of settings. The license file allows installation of a Cisco Unity demonstration system. For information and instructions on installing a demonstration system, refer to the "Cisco Unity Demonstration System" section of the Cisco Unity release notes.


Setting Security-Monitoring Software Before Running the Installation Programs

Before you run the programs that prepare the system for Cisco Unity software installation and install the Cisco Unity software, confirm that no processes are running that might interfere with the system preparation and software installation programs. Do the following two subsections, if applicable.

Disabling Virus-Scanning Services

Before running the Cisco Unity System Preparation Assistant, disable any virus-scanning services on the Cisco Unity server. Running virus-scanning services during the Cisco Unity installation process may slow down the system preparation and software installation programs or even prevent them from running.

The Cisco Unity Installation Guide alerts you when to re-enable the virus-scanning services later in the installation process.

To disable virus-scanning services


Step 1 Refer to the virus-scanning software documentation to determine the names of the virus-scanning services.

Step 2 On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.

Step 3 Disable each virus-scanning service:

a. In the right pane, double-click the service.

b. Click the General tab, and click Stop.

c. In the Startup Type list, click Disabled and click OK.

Set the IDS Host Sensor Agent to Run in On-Warning Mode

Before running the Cisco Unity System Preparation Assistant, set the IDS Host Sensor Agent on the Cisco Unity server to run in On-Warning mode. If the IDS Host Sensor Agent is running in On-Protecting mode during the installation, the agent will prevent files from being copied to the Cisco Unity server, and the installation will fail.

The Cisco Unity Installation Guide alerts you when to reset the IDS Host Sensor Agent to run in On-Protecting mode later in the installation process.

To set the IDS Host Sensor Agent to run in On-Warning mode


Step 1 On the server where the IDS Host Console is installed, on the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Cisco HIDS > Cisco HIDS Console.

Step 2 In the left pane of the Console, click Agents. The Agents view appears in the right pane.

Step 3 In the right pane, right-click the name of the IDS Host Sensor Agent on the Cisco Unity server, and click Set to Warning Mode. Note that it may take several minutes for the Current State to match the Requested State.

Resetting Security-Monitoring Software After the Installation Programs Have Been Run

If virus-scanning services or the Cisco IDS Host Sensor Agent is installed on the Cisco Unity server, they must be reset now that you have run the Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant. Do the following two subsections, if applicable.

Re-enabling Virus-Scanning Services

Re-enable any virus-scanning services on the Cisco Unity server that you disabled in the "Disabling Virus-Scanning Services" section.

When you re-enable virus-scanning services, you need to exclude from scanning the directory in which Cisco Unity is installed so that the Cisco Unity Administrator and the Cisco Unity Assistant will work properly. If the Cisco Unity system is using Cisco IDS Host Sensor, you also need to exclude from scanning the directory in which the Cisco IDS Host Sensor Agent is installed, so that Cisco IDS Host Sensor will work properly.

To re-enable virus-scanning services and exclude two directories from scanning


Step 1 Refer to the virus-scanning software documentation to determine the names of the virus-scanning services.

Step 2 On the Windows Start menu, click Programs > Administrative Tools > Services.

Step 3 Re-enable each virus-scanning service:

a. In the right pane, double-click the service.

b. On the General tab in the Startup Type list, click Automatic, and click OK.

c. In the right pane, right-click the service, and click Start.

Step 4 When all virus-scanning services have been re-enabled, close the Services MMC.

Step 5 Exclude from virus scanning the directory in which Cisco Unity is installed (the default directory is CommServer). Refer to Help for the virus-scanning software for information on excluding directories from scanning.

Step 6 If the Cisco Unity system is using Cisco IDS Host Sensor, exclude from virus scanning the directory in which Cisco IDS Host Sensor Agent is installed.


Resetting the IDS Host Sensor Agent to Run in On-Protecting Mode

After you have run the Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant, reset the IDS Host Sensor Agent on the Cisco Unity server to run in On-Protecting mode.

To reset the IDS Host Sensor Agent to run in On-Protecting mode
