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 14 ReadMe file contains important information about installation procedures and resolved caveats for Cisco Unified Communications Manager release 14. 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.

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:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/products-installation-guides-list.html

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.

For a list of all supported upgrade paths and the supported upgrade method, please see the Compatibility Matrix at:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/products-device-support-tables-list.html

For details about the features included in this release, refer to Release Notes for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM & Presence Service, Release 14 at:

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/products-release-notes-list.html

Compatibility between collaboration products is detailed at the following link. You must insure your versions are compatible before beginning your upgrade:

https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/unified/communications/system/Compatibility/CSR-Compatibility-Matrix-InteractiveHTML.html

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.

To view documentation that supports Cisco Unified CM Release 14, go to:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/products-documentation-roadmaps-list.html

Before you upgrade the software version of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, verify your current software version.

To do that, open Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration. The following information displays:

Cisco Unified CM Administration System version: x.x.x

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:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/products-installation-guides-list.html

Note	Because the 14.0.1.10000-20 build is a non-bootable ISO, it proves useful only for upgrades. You cannot use it for new installations.

Release 14 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

The file names and hash values you will use for this upgrade are:

Note	Revert to the previous version on all servers in the cluster in the same order in which you performed the upgrade.

Refer to the “Switch to Previous Version” section in the Upgrade Procedures chapter at Upgrade and Migration Guide for Cisco Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service, Release 14 for detailed instructions on “Reverting to a Previous Version.”

Open Caveats

Open Caveats for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 14 describes a few of the possible unexpected behaviors still remaining in Cisco Unified Communications Manager Release 14.

CUCM Caveats 14 Complete List

For a complete list of caveats applicable to 14, use the following Bug Search Tool link:

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/search?kw=*&pf=prdNm&pfVal=268439621&rls=14.0(1.1&sb=afr&bt=null

To determine the caveats that were open for a specific release, download the results to Excel and use the Known Fixed Release values to filter out the applicable releases. The Known Fixed Release for base CUCM 14 is 14.0(1.10000.20). Once the filters are applied, additional sorting / filtering can be applied for Bug Severity, Bug Status, and keywords. Here are some examples of how to generate lists for a specific release:

All Base Version Unresolved Caveats: To get a list of caveats that are applicable to CUCM 14 but are not fixed in the base release, use an Advanced Filter in Excel with an AND condition on the Known Fixed Releases column with the following values:

<>*CCM.14.0(1.10000.20)*
