About Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment

These release notes describe new features, requirements, restrictions, and caveats for Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment. These release notes are updated for every maintenance release.

Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment is an application designed to assist in the management of Unified Communications applications. It allows the user to perform tasks such as migration of older software versions of clusters to new virtual machines, fresh installs, and upgrades on existing clusters.

Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment has four primary, high-level functions:

- Migrate an existing cluster of Unified Communications servers to a new 11.x cluster (this may be MCS to virtual or virtual to virtual)

- Perform operations on existing clusters (8.6.1 or higher). Examples of these operations include:

- Upgrade the cluster to a new version of software

- Switch version

- Restart the cluster

- Changing IP addresses or hostnames in the cluster on existing Release 10.x clusters

- Fresh install a new Release 10.x Unified Communications cluster

Note

Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment does not support internationalization or languages other than English.
