Task List for Upgrading Connection 7.0(1) Software to 7.0(2) Without a Connection Cluster
1.
Download the upgrade software. See the "Downloading the Connection 7.0(2) Software for the Upgrade from 7.0(1)" section.
2.
Note any applicable items in the "Installation and Upgrade Notes" section.
3.
Upgrade the software on the Connection server. See the applicable section:
•
"Upgrading the Software from a Local DVD" section

4.
If you chose to do a later restart at the end of the software upgrade in Task 3.: Switch to the upgraded partition. See the "Switching to the Upgraded Software" section.
(If you chose to automatically restart at the end of the software upgrade, the switch to the upgraded partition is complete.)
Task List for Upgrading Connection 7.0(1) Software to 7.0(2) in a Connection Cluster
As the upgrade software is installed, the publisher and subscriber servers continue answering calls and replication occurs. When the publisher server is switched to the upgraded software, the subscriber server answers all calls, but replication does not occur and messages may not be available. When the subscriber server is switched to the upgraded software, the publisher server answers all calls, but replication does not occur and messages may not be available. About 15 minutes after both servers are switched to the upgraded software, both servers answer calls, replication resumes, and messages are available.
Note the following considerations about the upgrade process:
•
Installing the software upgrade requires approximately two hours for each server—a total of about four hours for both servers.
•
Switching to the upgraded software requires a few minutes for each server.
•
Messages that are recorded when switching to the upgraded software will not be replicated. Depending on the Connection server to which a user is logged on, the user may not be able to access new messages. Messages will be replicated after the upgrade process is complete.
•
MWIs and notifications may not be sent. MWIs and notifications synchronize only after the upgrade process is complete.
•
After the upgrade process is complete, the servers require about 15 minutes to renegotiate their server status and to replicate messages.
The following tasks reference these release notes and the Cluster Configuration and Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 7.x, which is available at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/cluster_administration/guide/7xcuccagx.html.

Downloading the Connection 7.0(2) Software for the Upgrade from 7.0(1)
Revised April 02, 2012The upgrade application posted on Cisco.com can be used only to upgrade to Cisco Unity Connection 7.0(2). It cannot be used to install a new Connection 7.0 system, or to migrate from Connection 1.x to 7.0.
Because of the size of the upgrade application, the file has been divided into two parts. Do the following procedure to download the two parts and to recombine them into a single file.
To Download the Connection 7.0(2) Software for the Upgrade from 7.0(1)
Step 1
Log on to a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, and go to the Voice and Unified Communications Downloads page at http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/pub/Redirect.x?mdfid=278875240.
Note
To access the software download page, you must be logged on to Cisco.com as a registered user.
Step 2
In the tree control on the Downloads page, expand , and click Cisco Unity Connection Version 7.0.
Step 3
On the Select a Software Type page, click Unity Connection Software.
Step 4
On the Select a Release page, click 7.0(2), and the download links appear on the right side of the page.
Step 5
Confirm that the computer you are using has sufficient hard disk space for the downloaded files. (The download file sizes appear below the download links.)
Step 6
Click UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part1, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the download. Make note of the MD5 value.
Step 7
Click UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part2, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the download. Make note of the MD5 value.
Step 8
For each downloaded file, use a checksum generator to confirm that the MD5 checksum matches the checksum that is listed on Cisco.com. If the values do not match, the downloaded file is damaged.
CautionDo not attempt to use a damaged file to install software or the results will be unpredictable. If the MD5 values do not match, download the file again until the value for the downloaded file matches the value listed on Cisco.com.
Free checksum tools are available on the Internet, for example, the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility. The utility is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 841290, Availability and Description of the File Checksum Integrity Verifier Utility. The KB article also includes a link for downloading the utility.
Step 9
Execute one of the following commands, depending on the operating system, to reunite the two parts of the file:
•
On a Unix/Linux system, cut and paste the following command from this document into the CLI to combine the two files:
cat UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part1 UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part2 > UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso•
On a Windows system, cut and paste the following command from this document into the command prompt (cmd.exe) to combine the two files:
COPY /B UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part1+UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part2 UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.isoStep 10
If you are installing from a DVD, burn the DVD, noting the following considerations:
•
Choose the option to burn a disc image, not the option to copy files. Burning a disc image will extract the thousands of files from the .iso file that you created in Step 9 and write them to a DVD, which is necessary for the files to be accessible for the installation.
•
Use the Joliet file system, which accommodates filenames up to 64 characters long.
•
If the disc-burning application that you are using includes an option to verify the contents of the burned disc, choose that option. This causes the application to compare the contents of the burned disc with the source files.
Step 11
Confirm that the DVD contains a large number of directories and files, not just the .iso file that you created in Step 9.
Step 12
Delete unnecessary files from the hard disk to free disk space, including the two .iso files that you downloaded and the combined .iso file that you created in Step 9.
Upgrading the Software from a Local DVD

Upgrading from Cisco Unity Connection 2.x to 7.0(2)
CautionIf any languages other than U.S. English (ENU) are currently installed and in use on the Cisco Unity Connection 2.x system, you must install the Connection 7.0 versions of the same languages during the 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 and Installing Cisco Unity Connection Languages" section.
A change that was made to Connection in version 2.1(3) prevents upgrades from version 2.1(3) to Connection 7.0(1) or 7.0(2). To upgrade from Connection 2.1(3), you will need to wait for Connection 7.1(2) to be released, in the second quarter of 2009.
For instructions on downloading software that can be used to upgrade a Connection 2.x system to version 7.0, see "Downloading the Connection 7.0(2) Software for the Upgrade from 2.x" section.
For instructions on upgrading a Connection 2.x system to version 7.0, see the "Upgrading Cisco Unity Connection 2.x or Later to the Shipping 7.x Version" chapter of the Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 7.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/upgrade/guide/7xcucrugx.html.
Downloading the Connection 7.0(2) Software for the Upgrade from 2.x
Revised 02 April 2012The upgrade application posted on Cisco.com can be used only to upgrade to Cisco Unity Connection 7.0(2). It cannot be used to install a new Connection 7.0 system, or to migrate from Connection 1.x to 7.0.
Because of the size of the upgrade application, the file has been divided into two parts. Do the following procedure to download the two parts and to recombine them into a single file.
To Download the Connection 7.0(2) Software for the Upgrade from 2.x
Step 1
Log on to a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, and go to the Voice and Unified Communications Downloads page at http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/pub/Redirect.x?mdfid=278875240.
Note
To access the software download page, you must be logged on to Cisco.com as a registered user.
Step 2
In the tree control on the Downloads page, expand Products>Voice and Unified Communications>IP Telephony>Unified Messaging>Cisco Unity Connection, and click Cisco Unity Connection Version 7.0.
Step 3
On the Select a Software Type page, click Unity Connection Software.
Step 4
On the Select a Release page, click 7.0(2), and the download links appear on the right side of the page.
Step 5
Confirm that the computer you are using has sufficient hard disk space for the downloaded files. (The download file sizes appear below the download links.)
Step 6
Click UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part1of2, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the download. Make note of the MD5 value.
Step 7
Click UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part2of2, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the download. Make note of the MD5 value.
Step 8
For each downloaded file, use a checksum generator to confirm that the MD5 checksum matches the checksum that is listed on Cisco.com. If the values do not match, the downloaded file is damaged.
CautionDo not attempt to use a damaged file to install software or the results will be unpredictable. If the MD5 values do not match, download the file again until the value for the downloaded file matches the value listed on Cisco.com.
Free checksum tools are available on the Internet, for example, the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility. The utility is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 841290, Availability and Description of the File Checksum Integrity Verifier Utility. The KB article also includes a link for downloading the utility.
Step 9
Execute one of the following commands, depending on the operating system, to reunite the two parts of the file:
•
On a Unix/Linux system, cut and paste the following command from this document into the CLI to combine the two files:
cat UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part1of2 UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part2of2 > UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso•
On a Windows system, cut and paste the following command from this document into the command prompt (cmd.exe) to combine the two files:
COPY /B UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part1of2+UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.iso_part2of2 UCSInstall_UCOS_7.0.2.10000-18.sgn.isoStep 10
If you are installing from a DVD, burn the DVD, noting the following considerations:
•
Choose the option to burn a disc image, not the option to copy files. Burning a disc image will extract the thousands of files from the .iso file that you created in Step 9 and write them to a DVD, which is necessary for the files to be accessible for the installation.
•
Use the Joliet file system, which accommodates filenames up to 64 characters long.
•
If the disc-burning application that you are using includes an option to verify the contents of the burned disc, choose that option. This causes the application to compare the contents of the burned disc with the source files.
Step 11
Confirm that the DVD contains a large number of directories and files, not just the .iso file that you created in Step 9.
Step 12
Delete unnecessary files from the hard disk to free disk space, including the two .iso files that you downloaded and the combined .iso file that you created in Step 9.
Migrating from Cisco Unity or from Cisco Unity Connection 1.x to Cisco Unity Connection 7.0
For information on migrating from Cisco Unity 4.0(5) or later to Connection 7.0 or from Connection 1.x to Connection 7.0, see the applicable migrating chapter of the Reconfiguration and Upgrade Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 7.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/upgrade/guide/7xcucrugx.html.

Downloading and Installing Cisco Unity Connection Languages
Revised September 1, 2009You need to download and install Connection 7.0 languages in the following situations:
•
If you are installing a new Connection 7.0(2) system.
•
If you are adding languages to an existing Connection 7.0 system.
•
If you are upgrading from Connection 2.x or Cisco Unified CMBE 6.x to 7.02.
(If you are upgrading from Connection 7.0(1) to 7.0(2), you do not need to download or install new languages. During the upgrade, the languages currently installed on the Connection 7.0(1) partition are automatically copied to the 7.0(2) partition.)
CautionDepending on your license settings, you may not be allowed to use English-United States and, therefore, must install other languages for Cisco Unity Connection to function. For more information, see the "License Tag Required to Use the U.S. English Conversation and Personal Call Transfer Rules" section.
For language installation instructions, see the "Software Upgrades" chapter of the applicable guide:
•
Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 7.x at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/7x/os_administration/guide/7xcucosagx.html.
•
Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide for Cisco Unified CMBE 7.0 at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps7273/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
If you are installing Japanese because you want Cisco Unity Connection Administration to be localized, you must also install the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Japanese locale. See the "Locale Installation" section in the "Software Upgrades" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide.
If you are installing other languages because you want the Cisco Personal Communications Assistant to be localized, you must also install the corresponding Cisco Unified Communications Manager locales. See the "Locale Installation" section in the "Software Upgrades" chapter of the Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Administration Guide.
To Download Cisco Unity Connection Languages
Step 1
On a computer with a high-speed Internet connection, go to the Voice and Unified Communications Downloads page at http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/pub/Redirect.x?mdfid=278875240.
Note
To access the software download page, you must be logged on to Cisco.com as a registered user.
Step 2
In the tree control on the Downloads page, expand Products>Voice and Unified Communications>IP Telephony>Unified Messaging>Cisco Unity Connection, and click Cisco Unity Connection Version 7.0.
Step 3
On the Select a Software Type page, click Cisco Unity Connection Locale Installer.
Step 4
On the Select a Release page, click 7.0(1), and the download links appear on the right side of the page.
Note
Connection 7.0(1) language files are also used with version 7.0(2).
Step 5
Confirm that the computer you are using has sufficient hard disk space for the downloaded files. (The download file sizes appear below the download links.)
The filename for each language is uc-locale-<two-letter language abbreviation>_<two-letter country abbreviation>-<version>.cop.sgn.
Step 6
Click the name of a file to download.
Step 7
On the Download Image page, make note of the MD5 value.
Step 8
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the download.
Step 9
Repeat Step 6 through Step 8 for each Connection language that you want to install.
Note
You can install up to five languages on a Connection server.
Step 10
For each downloaded file, use a checksum generator to confirm that the MD5 checksum matches the checksum that is listed on Cisco.com. If the values do not match, the downloaded file is damaged.
CautionDo not attempt to use a damaged file to install software or the results will be unpredictable. If the MD5 values do not match, download the file again until the value for the downloaded file matches the value listed on Cisco.com.
Free checksum tools are available on the Internet—for example, the Microsoft File Checksum Integrity Verifier utility. The utility is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article 841290, Availability and Description of the File Checksum Integrity Verifier Utility. The KB article also includes a link for downloading the utility.
Step 11
Either copy the downloaded files to an FTP or SFTP server, or burn the files to CDs or DVDs. If you burn discs of the files, note the following considerations:
•
Use the Joliet file system, which accommodates filenames up to 64 characters long.
•
If the disc-burning application that you are using includes an option to verify the contents of the burned disc, choose that option. This causes the application to compare the contents of the burned disc with the source files.
•
Label the discs "Cisco Unity Connection 7.0(1) languages."
Step 12
Delete the downloaded files to free disk space.
License Tag Required to Use the U.S. English Conversation and Personal Call Transfer Rules
If you want to use English-United States for the Cisco Unity Connection conversation or you want users to be able to create personal call transfer rules, the Connection license must include the license tag LicRegionIsUnrestricted. If your Connection licenses do not include the LicRegionIsUnrestricted tag and you want to use these features, install a license that includes the tag. After you install the license, you must restart Connection. (Licenses without this tag are intended only for use outside the United States.)
If you choose not to install a license that includes the LicRegionIsUnrestricted tag, you must install one or more Connection languages.
Connection demonstration licenses include the LicRegionIsUnrestricted tag, so you can use English-United States on demonstration systems.
To Determine Whether the LicRegionIsUnrestricted License Tag Is Present
Step 1
In Cisco Unity Connection Administration, under System Settings, click Licenses.
Step 2
On the Licenses page, click the name of the first license file.
Step 3
On the View License page, in the File Content box, search for the text "LicRegionIsUnrestricted."
Step 4
If you do not find the text in the first file, search all of the other license files listed on the Licenses page.
Step 5
If "LicRegionIsUnrestricted" does not appear in any of the license files, get a license that contains the tag before you install Connection.
Important Notes
Connection IMAP Server Service Should Not Be Stopped or Disabled For An Extended Period of Time
Added October 19, 2010The Connection IMAP Server service processes events that are placed in the IMAP queue table in the Connection database when voice messages are created, updated, or deleted, even if you do not have active IMAP users. If the service is disabled or stopped, the table continues to grow, and can eventually fill available disk space and cause database instability. Do not stop the service for more than a day at a time or disable the service indefinitely. If you have previously stopped or disabled the service, try restarting the service. If the service does not start, contact Cisco TAC to apply the workaround for caveat CSCti68395.
Limitations and Restrictions
Connection Cannot Be Installed or Operated in IPv6 or Dual-Stack (IPv4 and IPv6) Networks
Revised November 9, 2010Connection 7.0 does not support IPv6, and cannot be installed or operated in a pure IPv6 network. To install or operate in a dual-stack (IPv4 and IPv6) network, a workaround for CSCtj93659 is required. See the caveat information for CSCtj93659 for more details.
Media Master Cannot Open WAV Files Saved on a Workstation in G.729a Format
The Media Master cannot open WAV files prerecorded in the G.729a audio format and saved to a workstation.
This limitation has the following workarounds:
•
Convert the WAV file to another audio format (for example, convert it to the G.711 audio format).
•
Use a WAV file that is recorded in a supported audio format other than G.729a.
•
Make the recording by using a phone or a computer microphone.
Note that when Cisco Unity Connection is configured to record in the G.729a audio format, the Media Master functions correctly for recording and playing by using a phone or a computer microphone.
Replacing Disks in a RAID
Connection supports only replacing a defective disk in a RAID with a blank disk to repair the RAID. Replacing disks in a RAID for any other reason is not supported.
CautionDo not replace a disk in a RAID with a disk that contains data, even if the replacement disk was originally a disk in the same RAID in the same server.
ViewMail Limitations Regarding Secure Messages
Added February 22, 2010•
Secure messages cannot be forwarded by using Cisco Unity Connection ViewMail for Microsoft Outlook or ViewMail for IBM Lotus Notes.
•
ViewMail for Outlook and ViewMail for Notes support only playing secure messages.
•
Messages that are composed or replied to by using ViewMail for Outlook or ViewMail for Notes are not sent as secure, even when users are assigned to a class of service for which the Require Secure Messaging field is set to Always or to Ask.

User Moves, Adds, and Changes Guide for Cisco Unity Connection: Integrating Existing Cisco Unity Connection User Accounts with LDAP User Accounts
Added March 9, 2009The following text should be included as the "Integrating Existing Cisco Unity Connection User Accounts with LDAP User Accounts" section in the "Creating User Accounts from LDAP User Data" chapter of the User Moves, Adds, and Changes Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 7.x.
When you configured Cisco Unity Connection to integrate with an LDAP directory by using the procedures in the "Integrating Cisco Unity Connection with an LDAP Directory" chapter of the System Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection, you synchronized Connection data with data in the LDAP directory. That process invisibly imported the LDAP data into a cache on the Connection server.
When you use the Bulk Administration Tool to integrate existing Connection users with LDAP users, you:
1.
Export the data from the cache into a CSV file.
2.
Remove from the CSV file any users who you do not want to synchronize with users in the LDAP directory.
3.
Import the updated CSV file into the Connection database, which synchronizes Connection users with LDAP users and sets the LDAP flag in the Connection database.
CautionWhen you import LDAP user data into the Connection database, existing values for the fields being imported are overwritten with values from the LDAP database.
If you have configured Connection to periodically resynchronize Connection data with LDAP data, new values in the LDAP directory are automatically imported into the Connection database during the next automatic resynchronization. However, if new users have been added to the LDAP directory, this resynchronization does not create new Connection users. You must manually create new Connection users by using either the Import Users tool or the Bulk Administration Tool.
To Integrate Existing Cisco Unity Connection Users with LDAP Users
Step 1
Log on to Cisco Unity Connection Administration as a user that has the System Administrator role.
Step 2
Expand Tools and click Bulk Administration Tool.
Step 3
Export the data that is currently in the cache on the Connection server:
a.
Under Select Operation, click Export.
b.
Under Select Object Type, click Users from LDAP Directory.
c.
In the CSV File field, enter the full path to the file in which you want to save exported data.
d.
Click Submit.
This exports LDAP user data from the cache and sets the LDAP-integrated flag in the CSV file.
Step 4
Edit the CSV file to remove any Connection users who you do not want to synchronize with users in the LDAP directory. For more information, see the "Using the Cisco Unity Connection Bulk Administration Tool" appendix in the User Moves, Adds, and Changes Guide for Cisco Unity Connection Release 7.x.
If you want every user in the LDAP directory to be a Connection user, you skip this step.
Step 5
Import the data that you edited in Step 4:
a.
Log on to Cisco Unity Connection Administration as a user that has the System Administrator role.
b.
Expand Tools and click Bulk Administration Tool.
c.
Under Select Operation, click Update.
d.
Under Select Object Type, click Users with Mailbox.
e.
In the CSV File field, enter the full path to the file from which you want to import data.
f.
In the Failed Objects Filename field, enter the full path of the file to which you want Connection to write error messages about users who could not be created.
g.
Click Submit.
Step 6
When the import is complete, review the file that you specified in the Failed Objects Filename field to verify that all Connection users were successfully integrated with the corresponding LDAP users.
