Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center Enterprise & Hosted Editions, Release 7.5,
Hardware and System Software Specification

The documented procedures for upgrading to Unified ICM/Contact Center Release 7.5(1) require a starting
baseline of Unified ICM/Contact Center 7.0(0) SR4, running on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (or R2) SP2
operating system with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 (SP4). Upgrade customers currently deploying releases earlier
than release 7.0(0) will need to provide a transitional upgrade to 7.0(0) SR4 as a staging release before upgrading
to 7.5(1). These steps require a database migration from the earlier release to the destination release; for that
reason the upgrade requires stabilization on the transitional release and is thus not a multi-step process
accomplished in a single maintenance window. You must perform an upgrade of the operating system to
Microsoft Server 2003 once the 7.0(0) SR4 upgrade is stabilized (assuming upgrade from release prior to 7.0(0));
only after the operating system is upgraded to Windows Server 2003 (or R2) can one install the Unified
ICM/Contact Center 7.5(1) release. Finally, once the system is stabilized on the target 7.5 release, upgrade SQL
Server 2000 to SQL Server 2005.

Customers on a 7.0(0) service release prior to SR4 need to apply SR4 to their current deployment before
upgrading to release 7.5(1).
4.2 Installing Unified ICM/Unified Contact Center 7.5(1)
Cisco Unified ICM/Contact Center 7.5(1) is distributed on new media and can be installed directly from the distribution
media on new deployments. Although upgrades require a base installation of 7.0(0) SR4, new deployments do not; for
new deployments, install the 7.5(1) release as you would any major release.
