For instructions on upgrading a Cisco Unified CMBE server, see the “Software Upgrades” chapter
of the applicable version of the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration
Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7273/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
Note that when upgrade files are available for download on Cisco.com, the files can be used to
upgrade Cisco Unity Connection, Cisco Unified Communications Manager, and Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Business Edition. The files can be downloaded from the Connection or
Cisco Unified CM downloads page. (For download instructions from the Connection downloads
page, see the “Downloading Software for an Upgrade to Cisco Unity Connection <Version>” section
of the applicable release notes at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_release_notes_list.html.)
Caution
If you are upgrading from Cisco Unified CMBE version 6.x or 7.x or 8.x and any languages
other than U.S. English (ENU) are currently installed and in use on the 6.x or 7.x or 8.x
system, you must install the Connection 8.6 versions of the same languages after the Cisco
Unified CMBE upgrade. Otherwise, the Connection conversation will not function properly
for users who are configured to use non-ENU languages. For information on downloading and
installing languages, see the “Downloading Connection 8.x Language Files” and “Installing
Connection 8.x Language Files” sections in the “Adding or Removing Cisco Unity
Connection 8.x Languages” chapter of the Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide for
Cisco Unity Connection at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/upgrade/guide/8xcucrugx.

Significant Changes to Connection Upgrade Process Result in New
Requirements
The upgrade process from earlier versions of Connection to version 8.6 is significantly different from
previous upgrades.
In addition, the following requirements have been added:

Documentation Update
Caution
•
You must download and install a Cisco Options Package before you upgrade to Connection 8.6.
•
You must attach a 128-GB USB drive to the Connection server if you are upgrading a Cisco MCS
7825-H3 server, the equivalent HP DL320G5, or a Cisco MCS 7828-H3 server (for Cisco Unified
Communications Manager Business Edition). This is because the upgrade converts these servers
from hardware RAID to software RAID, and the hard disks are reformatted. The USB drive is
required so Connection data and voice messages are not lost during the upgrade.
The upgrade process has changed significantly from earlier versions of Connection. To successfully
upgrade to Connection 8.6, you must refer to the applicable upgrade chapter in the Reconfiguration and
Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/upgrade/guide/8xcucrugx.html.
Documentation Update
Omissions
This section lists new and additional information that is not included in the current documentation for
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition. The new and additional information will be
incorporated in a future documentation release, or as otherwise noted.
Changing the Name of a Cisco Unified CMBE Server
1.
Note
If you created and installed an SSL certificate on the server that you are renaming: Create a new
certificate signing request, and get a new signed certificate before you begin to rename the server.
If you do not get a new signed certificate before you rename the server, when you use web
applications to access the Cisco Unified CMBE server, a security alert displays and explains that
there is a problem with the security certificate.
a. Use the CLI command set web-security to assign an alternate host name to the server that you
are renaming. See the set web-security command in the Command Line Interface Reference
Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Solutions Release 8.0(2) at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/cli_ref/8_0_2/cli_ref_802.html.
b. Create a certificate signing request. Then download the certificate signing request to the server
on which you installed Microsoft Certificate Services or another application that issues
certificates, or download the request to a server that you can use to send the certificate signing
request to an external certification authority (CA). Do the “To Create and Download a
Certificate Signing Request” procedure in the “Securing Connection Administration,
Cisco PCA, and IMAP Email Client Access to Cisco Unity Connection 8.x” section in the
“Using SSL to Secure Client/Server Connections in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x” chapter of the
Security Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/security/guide/8xcucsecx.ht
ml.
c. If you are using Microsoft Certificate Services to export the root certificate and issue the server
certificate, do the procedure in the “Exporting the Root Certificate and Issuing the Server
Certificate (Microsoft Certificate Services Only)” section in the “Using SSL to Secure
Release Notes for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Business Edition 5000 Release 8.6(1)

Documentation Update
Client/Server Connections in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x” chapter of the Security Guide for
Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/security/guide/8xcucsecx.ht
ml.
If you are using another application to issue the certificate, see the documentation for the
application for information on issuing certificates.
If you are using an external CA to issue the certificate, send the certificate signing request to
the external CA. When the external CA returns the certificate, continue with Task 2.
2.
Rename the server. See the “To Rename a Cisco Unified CMBE 8.x Server” procedure on page 5.
3.
If you created and installed an SSL certificate on the server that you are renaming: Upload the root
certificate and the server certificate to the Connection server. Do the “To Upload the Root and Server
Certificates to the Cisco Unity Connection Server” procedure in the “Securing
Connection Administration, Cisco PCA, and IMAP Email Client Access to Cisco Unity Connection
8.x” section in the “Using SSL to Secure Client/Server Connections in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x”
chapter of the Security Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/security/guide/8xcucsecx.html.
4.
If you created and installed an SSL certificate on the server that you are renaming: Restart the
Connection IMAP Server service so that Connection and the IMAP email clients use the new SSL
certificates. Do the “To Restart the Connection IMAP Server Service” procedure in the “Securing
Connection Administration, Cisco PCA, and IMAP Email Client Access to Cisco Unity Connection
8.x” section in the “Using SSL to Secure Client/Server Connections in Cisco Unity Connection 8.x”
chapter of the Security Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 8.x at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/security/guide/8xcucsecx.html.
5.
If you are using Cisco Unified CM cluster security mode: Update the CTL file, then restart the
server.
For information on updating the CTL file, see the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security
Guide Release 8.0(2) at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/security/8_0_2/secugd/sec_802_cm.html
.
Note
Cluster security mode also configures the security capability for a standalone server.
6.
In Cisco Unified Reporting, generate the Unified CM Database Status report, and check for any
errors or warnings in the report.
7.
Reconfigure the netdump server and clients by using the utils netdump CLI commands. For more
information, see the Command Line Interface Reference Guide for Cisco Unified Communications
Solutions Release 8.0(2) at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/cli_ref/8_0_2/cli_ref_802.html.
8.
Run a manual DRS backup. For more information, see the Disaster Recovery System Administration
Guide for Release 8.0(2) - Business Edition at
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucmbe/drs/8_0_2/drsagbe802.html.
Note
9.
You must run a manual DRS backup after you change the name of the server because you cannot
restore a server with a DRS file that contains a different host name. The post-change DRS file
will include the new host name.
Update all relevant IP phone URL parameters.
