If you are staying on the same Cisco Unified Communications Manager release and are just migrating
hardware, you should order “bare-metal” product IDs (end in -IPC1 or -IPC2) and not product IDs with other
suffixes, because these will ship you factory-installed software copies.
●
If you are upgrading your Cisco Unified Communications Manager release and you are migrating hardware,
order the product ID corresponding to the destination Cisco Unified Communications Manager release (e.g.,
suffix of -CMB2 for 6.1, -CMC1 for 7.0, etc.).
Customers who are on Cisco MCS 7800 servers provided by Cisco and are migrating to another Cisco MCS 7800
provided by Cisco and want trade-in credit for the old hardware should work with their account team to see if the
Cisco Technology Migration Program (TMP) applies. No trade-in is available for migrating from or to customer-
provided “Software-only” hardware.
Server Migrations may require ordering a Hardware Migration SKU to cover royalties Cisco owes to its suppliers
when licenses for new major releases are transferred to new hardware (Table 14).
Table 13. Server Migrations
Upgrading via…
Hardware Migration SKU Required?
UCSS
Only if migrating to a release prior to 7.1(5) or 8.0(1)
CUCM SW Upgrade SKU
Only if upgrading by <2 Major Releases and to a release prior to 7.1(5) or 8.0(1)
Re-purchase new CUCM Major Release
NO
Major releases are the first digit of the version number. E.g., a major release changes if you upgrade from 4.0 to 6.0
or later. A major release does not change if you upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1.
Examples of “<2 Major Releases” are 3.3 > 4.3, 4.2>4.3, 5.1>6.0, 6.1(2) > 6.1(3), 6.0>6.1, 6.0>7.1.
Examples:
●
Hardware Migration SKU is required for:
◦ Migrate to different server, no software upgrade
◦ Migrate to different server, upgrade via UCSS
◦ Migrate to different server, upgrade 6.0 to 6.1 via upgrade SKU
◦ Migrate to different server, upgrade 6.0 to 7.1 via upgrade SKU
●
Hardware Migration SKU is not required for:
◦ Any upgrade to 7.1(5) or 8.0(1) or higher
◦ Migration from MCS 7800 to UC on UCS
◦ Migrate to different server, upgrade 5.0 to 7.1 via upgrade SKU or repurchase of 7.1
◦ Migrate to different server, upgrade 4.0 to 6.0 or later via upgrade SKU or repurchase of 6.0 or later.
◦ Keeping same server, no software upgrade
◦ Keeping same server, upgrade 6.0 to 6.1 or later
◦ Keeping same server, upgrade 6.0 to 7.0
◦ Keeping same server, upgrade 5.0 to 7.0
To determine which Hardware Migration SKU you need, do the following:
a. Order your replacement server as if it is a new system - see instructions in Cisco Unified Communications
Manager and Media Convergence Server sections. Pay special attention to “hardware add-ons” and
“component changes”.
b. Get prefix of Hardware Migration SKU for your version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
