Appliance Upgrade2

• Facilitates upgrades and reversion.

• During an upgrade (e.g. 8.0 to 8.5), configuration and historical data is migrated.

• However, any reversion (e.g. 8.5 to 8.0) does not preserve configuration and historical data updates made after the upgrade.

Provide site redundancy for disaster recovery

Latency: 80 ms RTT between Unified CCX nodes (same as Unified CM CoW)

Bandwidth: 3 MB between sites

1.5 MB for Unified CCX intra-cluster communication and external communication with other components

Primary Engine/Preferred Master

First Node in the Cluster

Apply to Island Mode Merge and Re-elect Master from AppAdmin. Engine on Preferred Master does not lose mastership during Island Mode merge.

Separate by LAN or WAN

Failover detection time based upon deployment type:

For LAN, heartbeat is sent every 0.5s and failover if missing 5 heartbeat

For WAN, heartbeat is sent every 1s and failover if missing 10 heartbeat

HAoWAN – Database Redundancy

First node in cluster is publisher, second is subscriber.

Data is written from database master and then replicates to the standby database

Database mastership follows the engine master

If one of the database fails, data is written to the surviving database except for Configuration Database Services

Data can be written to CDS only if both database publisher and subscriber are up

HR are generated from database where standby engine located

HAoWAN - Bandwidth Detail

CCX HA over WAN Bandwidth includes the traffic for:

Database Replication

Heartbeat and RMI Status between Nodes

JTAPI Call Signaling

Agent Sync via AXL

Real-time Report

Master Standby

Unified CM CoW Bandwidth (extra on top HAoWAN BW):

ICCS and database replication

Agent Bandwidth (extra on top HAoWAN BW)

© 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKCCT-2861 32

HAoWAN - Node Based Configurations

Unified CCX 8.0 introduces the following node-based configurations. It is recommended that each node connects to a local provider whenever possible to minimize the WAN traffic.

AXL Service Provider

JTAPI Provider for CM Telephony Subsystem

JTAPI Provider for RmCm Subsystem

Note: In small deployment, it might not be possible to have 2 Unified CMs local in

each data center to provide redundant configurations for AXL and JTAPI. It is

recommended that at least the first entry of AXL and JTAPI providers should point to a

local Unified CM.

Platform Virtualization

New Deployment Building BlocksThinking outside the (MCS) Box

Deployments have been based on single application MCS servers

Virtualization allow multiple Virtual Machines to access common HW resources

Solution capacity and deployment models do not change

Building blocks change from physical „servers‟ with CPU/MEM/HDD to VMs

The number of required „servers‟ remains the same, but the HW will vary

Virtual Machine specification

Number of VMs typically the same as physical MCS‟s

But Virtual Machines are measured by:

-vCPU

-vRAM

-vDisk

-vNICs

A VM solution can be deployed on any “supported” UCS server that meets the specified resource

Migrating from MCS to UCS2

In case you are running UCCX v5 or 7:

Use Cisco Pre-Upgrade Tool on the engine master to backup your Unified CCX cluster on MCS

Perform fresh installation of Unified CCX 8.5(1) on VMWARE

Choose “Upgrade from a previous UCCX release” during the initial setup

You will then be prompted to enter the Backup TAR location

In case you are running UCCX v8.0 or 8.5:

Upgrade UCCX 8.0 to 8.5 on MCS if you need to

Use Cisco DRS to backup your Unified CCX cluster

Perform fresh installation of Unified CCX 8.5(1) on VMWARE

Use DRS to restore your system on this new UCCX cluster
