Data Migration

Revised July 3, 2012

This appendix describes how the Cisco TelePresence Exchange System migrates data from Release 1.0.(x) to Release 1.1, and how the administration console graphical user interface has changed between the two releases.

The following sections are included:

•About the Migration Behavior for Media Bridge Resources and Resource Groups

•About the Migration Behavior for Meet-Me and Rendezvous Meetings

•Administration Console Comparisons

About the Migration Behavior for Media Bridge Resources and Resource Groups

When migrating media bridge resources (Cisco TelePresence Multipoint Switch [CTMS], Cisco TelePresence MCU MSE 8510 [MSE 8510], and Cisco TelePresence Server MSE 8710 [TPS]) from Release 1.0(x) to Release 1.1, the system automatically creates region-specific resource groups in the following manner:

•All media bridge resources that are reserved for large meetings are contained within one resource group per region.

•All media bridge resources that are not reserved for large meetings are contained within one resource group per region.

•Up to two resource groups per region are created, where one of the resource groups contains only media bridge resources that are reserved for large meetings and the other resource group contains only media bridge resources that are not reserved for large meetings.

•Names are assigned to the new resource groups based on the name of the associated region and whether or not the resource group contains resources that are reserved for large meetings. For example, if the resource group contains resources that are placed in the San Jose region and reserved for large meetings, then the system will name the resource group San Jose Large Resource Group.

Table E-1 provides examples of the system behavior for migrating media bridge resources to new resource groups.

Table E-1 Migration Behavior Examples for Media Bridge Resources and Resource Groups 

Before Data Migration
After Data Migration

CTMS resource that was not reserved for large meetings was placed in the San Jose region.

CTMS resource that was not reserved for large meetings is placed in a resource group named San Jose Resource Group.

TPS resource that was reserved for large meetings was placed in the San Jose region.

TPS resource that was reserved for large meetings is placed in a resource group named San Jose Large Resource Group.

MSE 8510 resource that was reserved for large meetings was placed in the San Francisco region.

MSE 8510 resource that was reserved for large meetings is placed in a resource group named San Francisco Large Resource Group.


•By default, the system configures new resource groups with a guaranteed reservation type with the following dedication percentage and booking percentage settings:

–For a resource group that contains resources that are reserved for large meetings, both the dedication percentage and booking percentage are set to 100%.

–For a resource group that contains resources that are not reserved for large meetings, the dedication percentage is set to 80%, and the booking percentage is set to 100%.

About the Migration Behavior for Meet-Me and Rendezvous Meetings

Caution If you scheduled both Meet-Me and Rendezvous meetings, all the Rendezvous meetings will be deleted. Before you start the upgrade process, verify that all the Rendezvous meetings have been manually saved so that they can be created again.

When meetings are migrated during the upgrade to Release 1.1, the Host PINs and Automatic Meeting Extension meeting fields will be disabled.

For detailed information about the requirements and prerequisites to upgrade the software on the Cisco TelePresence Exchange System, see the "Upgrading the Software" chapter.
