Action Plan:
Step1: DRS Backup of all server.
Step2: Installation of 8.6 software(CUCM,CUC,IM/P) then install fresh Server C
UCM 8.6 on my new UCS BE7000M4.
and then Restore Backup on New CUCM 8.6 on UCS BE7000M4 Server and check all t
hird party integration.
Step3: Installation of 11.0 Upgradation software(CUCM,CUC,IM/P) on newly built
CUCM 8.6 (UCS BE7K)and check all third party integration.
Step 4: After verification of all application behavior I will replace new hardwa
re with Old UCSC210M2 in data center.
CUCM Version 11.X: Supported Versions of VMware vSphere ESXi = 5.0 U1, 5.1, 5.5,
6.0
Multiple versions of ESXi are supported by UC applications.
To upgrade the ESXi software on a host, you must power off all virtual machines
or migrate the virtual machine to a different host.
It is OPTIONAL to upgrade the VMV (Virtual Machine Version) version of the virt
ual machine to the newer VMV version. If you do upgrade to the newer VMV versio
n, note that your virtual machine cannot be changed back to the previous VMV ve
rsion, and that the new VMV version will NOT run on your older version of ESXi.
For example, if you are running a vmv7 virtual machine on ESXi 4.1, and you up
grade to ESXi 5.0, you can optionally upgrade the vm to vmv8. Once you upgrade
to vmv8, your virtual machine can only run on ESXi 5.0 and later. Once upgrade
d to vmv8, the virtual machine cannot be converted back to vmv7. For further in
formation see VMware documentation.
