Upgrading to 7.0.1.1

Over the weekend I upgraded the UC520 to the latest IOS and CME (UC520-7.0.1.1-ea.zip). I ran into the same problems others have had regarding the Compact Flash out of space error. Tried the Cisco Tech note, with no success. Card still did not have enough space. (Note: I did not try to copy the file from the CLI, just CCA 1.9 per step 3) Did the usual searching on info regarding whether or not third party CF can be used. Didn’t really find a good answer. So, I tried it.

Turned off the system. Pulled the CF (Cisco 128Mb) card out. Using a card reader, copied the files to my hard drive. Removed card. Plugged in a 2Gb SanDisk Type II. Formatted it by using the command prompt (format f: ) Copied the files to the new CF. Plugged it back in and turn the system on. Seems to work fine.

After the system booted back up, I continued with the upgrade. No problems. It took a little over an hour, as predicted by CCA. During which, new firmware was pushed to the phones (7965).

In CCA 1.9, I noticed that before the upgrade it did not show Call Blast Group under Voice Features. And after the upgrade, it appeared. Nice that it hides features not available with the system that you have. I have also noticed that the version numbers are not shown correctly in CME GUI (http://10.1.10.1). Not sure why.

CUE goes offline in upgrade if it doesnt complete

by savitas - 04/10/2009 - 12:01

If you get an error not being able to get the CUE version, CUE if probably offline from the upgrade, and since it failed, it didnt come back online.

Hi everyone,

I can't find the EA anywhere on the Software Download section of Cisco's website....at best I can download the stand-alone IOS image but no EA!

Bug in 7975 loads

by ejonassen - 01/29/2009 - 06:43

Just a update, there's also a bug with the phone loads for the 7975 in this EA pack. When using a headset, the sound from the other party of the call is heard through the handset, which basically means that everyone around you can hear the whole conversation, hehe. I downloaded the new CME packackge; cme-124-22T2.zip and loaded the 7975 phone loads and that seems to have fixed the issue. The other models may have the same bug, but I haven't had the time for testing.

I got my UC500 upgraded

by babul - 01/28/2009 - 19:02

I got my UC500 upgraded finally.

I've monkeyed around with mine quite a bit, so I cannot say that my tinkering didn't get in my own way.

My biggest problem (the CUE error) was because the PC I was running CCA from wasn't able to talk to the 10.1.x.x networks. Once I static routed those to my UC500, the upgrade went find - took about 25 minutes.

I like how they cleaned up the flash directory structure - MUCH nicer.

All of my phones got their new phone loads and seem to be working just fine.

No matter what I do CCA 1.9 says "Cannot retrieve CUE version information." when I attempt the upgrade.

I manually upgraded the IOS and that didn't help.

Will have to work on it more this weekend.

I didn't realize a new EA was posted. Thanks for your notes.

I went to OfficeDepot and picked up a SanDisk Ultra II CF 2gb card ($20) and did the same steps as you, easy upgrade. One of those things I was meaning to get to.

I just started my upgrade. Will check on it again when I get home. Ice storm coming in.

Mine wasn't as easy to upgrade.

by Jaydien - 04/15/2009 - 07:49

What steps did you take to perform your compactflash upgrade?

I recently tried to replace my card by popping it into a card reader and copying over the files, but when it came back up, things were all weird.

IOS would boot up with my config but phones would not register and it seemed as though I couldn't copy files to flash using CLI.

Very wierd and buggy. Is there a special way to format the flash card?

Thanks.

Brian.

Brian - I don't believe I had to format mine for the UC500, but for other IOS routers, I've formatted them as FAT from Windows without issue.

Maybe your CF card is too advanced? I think leaning towards older/slower cards (and usually cheaper) is the safest route.

I bought the same card that

by Jaydien - 04/15/2009 - 14:35

I bought the same card that you posted earlier, and this time around, I popped it into my UC, booted up and issued a format flash: command. Hoping that formatting it through the CLI would do something different with the file system.?

Then I put it in my vista laptop, copied all my files over to the new card and then booted back up again.

But when I boot from this new card, my voice vlan shows an up/down state. Even though all my BVI's are up/up. Since that happen, my phones don't register..

So I then pop in my old 128MB card, bott up and everything works magically like it should???

I don't get it? What changes when the new card is inserted?

Oh! Add the command 'vtp mode

by babul - 04/15/2009 - 14:55

Oh!

Add the command 'vtp mode transparent' to your config on the old flash.

Or else you will need to recreate the vlans (lookup 'vlan database') and everything will come up.

Nothing wrong with the cf card

Sorry plane taking off in minutes
