About Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment, Release 10.0(1)

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 Communication 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 Communication (UC) servers to a new 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 10.0 clusters

- Fresh install a new Release 10.0 Unified Communication cluster

Note

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

New and Changed

This is the first release of Prime Collaboration Deployment. For details on the features, refer to Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment Administration Guide, Release 10.0(1) at Click Here .

Deployment

Cisco only supports virtualized deployments of Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment. Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment is deployed using an OVA that contains the pre-installed Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment application. This OVA is obtained with a licensed copy of Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.5(1) software. For information about how to extract and deploy the PCD_VAPP.OVA file, see topics relating to the installation of Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment in the Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment Administration Guide.

For more information about the deployment of Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment in a virtualized environment, see:

Virtualization Software License Feature Level Compatibility

Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment is not compatible with all license feature levels of VMware vSphere ESXi, as some license feature levels do not enable required VMware APIs.

The following are compatible with Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment:

- Cisco UC Virtualization Foundation (appears as "Foundation Edition" in vSphere Client)

- VMware vSphere Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, or Enterprise Plus Edition

- The evaluation mode license feature level

The following are not compatible with Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment:

- Cisco UC Virtualization Hypervisor (appears as "Hypervisor Edition" in vSphere Client)—preloaded on Cisco Business Edition 6000 and Business Edition 7000

- VMware vSphere Hypervisor Edition

DNS

If you require DNS on a Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment system, be sure to administer the DNS during Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment install.

Upgrades

For information about upgrading Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment, as well as requirements for hardware and software, see the latest release of the Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment Administration Guide here Click Here .

Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment supplements but does not replace native application install and upgrade functionality. Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment does not have 100% feature parity with native install and upgrade functionality. When troubleshooting upgrade or install issues on Cisco Unified Communications Manager or Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service nodes, the upgrade (or install) logs will need to be retrieved from node being upgraded. Use normal upgrade and install troubleshooting actions.

Upgrade Caveats

Auto-switch version - When creating an upgrade task, if the cluster contains Cisco Unified Presence or Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service nodes, there will not be an option to Automatically Switch to New Version after Successful Upgrade.

Readdress

Readdress Caveats

- Readdress tasks that require gateway and subnet changes may cause the readdress task to fail.

Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment can lose the communication with Cisco Unified Communications Manager due to network issues, even after the readdress task is completed successfully on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. Users may need to complete post network change steps outlined in the Changing the IP Address and Hostname for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Guide before proceeding to the next step.

- Cisco Unified Communications Manager IM and Presence Service readdress is not available on Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment. The Readdress feature can only be used to change hostnames and IP Addresses for Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers. In a cluster with both Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service nodes, the readdress feature can be used to change the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server hostname and IP addresses, but not the IM and Presence Service nodes for that cluster.
