Introduction
Note |
To view the release notes for previous versions of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, choose the Cisco Unified Communications Manager version from the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/prod_release_notes_list.html |
Note |
Please review all sections in this document pertaining to installation before you install this version. Failure to install this version as described may result in inconsistent Cisco Unified Communications Manager behavior. |
This 14SU4 ReadMe file contains important information about installation procedures and resolved caveats for Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 14SU4. This version can be applied to Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Session Management Edition.
Note |
Before you install Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco recommends that you review the Important Notes for information about issues that may affect your system. |
System Requirements
The following sections comprise the system requirements for this release.
Server Support
In this release, you cannot install or run Cisco Unified Communications Manager on server hardware; you must run these applications on virtual machines. Please refer to the “Hardware” section of the Upgrade and Migration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service, Release 14 for additional details:
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Ensure that you connect each node to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to provide backup power and protect your system.
Caution |
Failure to connect the Cisco Unified Communication Manager nodes to a UPS may result in damage to physical media and require a new installation of Cisco Unified CM. |
Version and Description
This SU is a cumulative update that incorporates all of the fixes and changes from Cisco Unified Communications Manager 14 through 14SU3 along with additional changes that are specific to this SU.
Note |
You can only install this SU on Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 10.5 through 11.x, 12.0(1x), 12.5(1), 14 through 14SU3, or any 14ES from 14.0.1.11001-1 to 14.0.1.14056-2. Upgrades from any earlier supported versions require a PCD migration. If you are upgrading from a version prior to 14, ensure you have the proper licensing prior to doing the upgrade. |
For a list of all supported upgrade paths and the supported upgrade method, please see the Compatibility Matrix at:
Caution |
Please note that if you install an SU it may contain fixes that are not included in the newer Unified CM releases. For example, a fix in an 12.5(1)SU, 12.5(1)SU5, may not be included in 14 because the fix was not available prior to the release of 14. In this example, an SU or ES on the 14 branch may be required to retain the same fixes. |
New to this Release
For details about the features included in this release, refer to Release Notes for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM & Presence Service, Release 14SU4 at:
In addition to the features listed in the Release Notes, the following changes were introduced in 14SU3:
-
Log4j upgrade to 2.19
In addition to the features listed in the Release Notes, the following changes were introduced in 14SU1:
-
This release is signed with a new 2021 signing key. See the Important Notes section for more details.
Important Notes
Compatibility between collaboration products is detailed at the following link. You must insure your versions are compatible before beginning your upgrade:
Cisco provides the following guidance to help you successfully upgrade Cisco Unified Communications Manager software:
-
To minimize call-processing interruptions during the upgrade process, register all devices to servers that are running the same version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager software. Make sure that you register all devices to the backup Cisco Unified Communications Manager server or to the primary Cisco Unified Communications Manager server, but not to both the backup and primary servers.
Warning for Upgrades to 15
Warning |
This SU adds support for Smart Receiver Transport for licensing. This feature is not found in the CUCM 15 base or 15SU1 releases, as those versions were released prior to development of this feature. Upgrades from this SU to any CUCM or IM&P 15 versions lower than 15SU2 are not allowed and will not be displayed as valid upgrade options. Customers upgrading from this SU should choose 15SU2 or higher as their target upgrade. |
Warning for Upgrades from 10.5(2)
Warning |
Per the Supported Upgrade and Migration Paths in the Compatibility Matrix, direct upgrades from any 10.5.2 release to any 14 release are not supported (PCD Migration or Fresh Install with Data Import are the only supported upgrade options from 10.5.2). In previous releases of 14, this upgrade path was not blocked in the code even though it is not supported. Starting with 14SU2, upgrades from release 10.5.2 are now blocked in the code so a direct upgrade attempt will now fail as an usupported upgrade. |
Warning for Upgrades with FIPS Enabled
Warning |
If you are upgrading with FIPS enabled and/or using PCD with FIPS enabled, see the CiscoSSL7 COP File Readme for information on the COP file ciscocm.ciscossl7_upgrade_CSCwa48315_CSCwa77974_v1.0.k4.cop. This document details the pre-requisites required for direct upgrade or direct migration to the 14SU2 or higher destination versions when FIPS is enabled. |

Installation Instructions
Note |
Apply this SU to all of your Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers, beginning with the publisher server and TFTP server |
Refer to the Upgrade and Migration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service, Release 14 for detailed information about doing this upgrade:
Note |
Because the 14.0.1.14900-94 build is a non-bootable ISO, it proves useful only for upgrades. You cannot use it for new installations. You may however install with the base version 14.0.1.10000-20 and apply 14.0.1.14900-94 as a patch during the installation. |
Release 14SU4 is available in both restricted (which is the release type that has always been available from Cisco) and unrestricted versions of software to comply with import / export restrictions to various countries. The unrestricted version is available in limited markets. Please refer to the “Export Restricted and Export Unrestricted Software” section in the Understanding Upgrades and Migrations chapter, of the Upgrade and Migration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service, Release 14 referenced above, for a more detailed description.
Note |
Once installed, UNRST releases can never be converted or upgraded to releases which support full encryption capabilities |
