Description |
||
---|---|---|---|
Basic installation |
This option represents the basic Cisco Unified Communications Manager installation, which installs the software from the installation disc or from an ISO file stored in a virtual machine. This option does not use any imported data. You can use this option to install the software manually, or you can use an answer generator file to perform an unattended installation. You can also use this option when you have a server on which the software is pre-installed. |

Apply a patch to upgrade during an installation (available on Unified Communications Manager nodes only) |
This option allows you to upgrade the software version that is contained on the installation disc with a later release. You can only apply one patch during the installation process.
