ASA AnyConnect and SSL VPN for IP Phones with CUCM

This one may seem a bit like a very involved configuration but in reality is not. The process is easy, if you know how to set up AnyConnect in an ASA, you will be able to crack it. I have also included few links that show the process and the important things that you need to consider, as well as licensing requirements Useful Links: ASA Sample Configuration: (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/security/8_5_1/secugd/sec-851-cm/secuvpn.html#wp1054676) Configure AnyConnect VPN IP Phones with Certificate Authentication on an ASA (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/unified-communications/unified-communications-manager-callmanager/115785-anyconnect-vpn-00.html)

Upgrade CUCM 9.1 to 10.5 - Procedure (No Prime Collaboration Deployment)

So with the introduction of Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment, now upgrade any of your UC applications its easier and quicker than before. One of the big advantages that I see with this new product is that the product can have control of the overall infrastructure, starting from VMware all the way to the UC applications. For a better understanding of this product you can use the following link: (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/pcdadmin/10_0_1/CUCM_BK_U9C58CB1_00_pcd-administration-guide-1001.html) - The previous is the one for version 10.x – I don’t see too many changes from version to version.

Upgrading CUCM from 9.1.2 to 10.5 – Issues

Hi there, today I have a customer that wanted to upgrade from CUCM 9.1.2 to 10.5 - which sounds pretty easy… think again, so this is a BE6K deployment where CUCM instance was configured with the recommended OVA from CCO. When starting the upgrade I found that the upgrade didn’t wanted to proceed as expected. and I was getting the following error: Installation of UCSInstall_UCOS_10.5.1.10000-7.sgn.iso failed An error has occured but no messages are available. This can happen when another administrator is working on the system at the same time and triggers an error.
