7. Check that the expected FindMe entries exist on this Cisco VCS (Maintenance > Login
accounts > User accounts).
8. Check that other configuration (including zone configuration, transforms configuration and other
configuration for items from the System Configuration, VCS Configuration and Application menus)
is as expected.

9. Disable maintenance mode – from the Cisco VCS command line type:
xconfiguration SystemUnit Maintenance Mode: Off
10. Repeat these steps for each non-master peer.
Note: It is recommended that while Cisco VCS peers are running different versions of code,
configuration changes to any Cisco VCS in the cluster are limited to the changes needed to complete
the upgrade. Configuration changes will not be replicated across Cisco VCS peers that are not
running the same version of software as the Master Cisco VCS.

Note: If problems are observed with Cisco VCS peer configuration replication, ensure that all the
functionality defined in “Create a new cluster of Cisco VCS X5 peers” has been performed on the
cluster, especially the running of the relevant “cluster” script from the root login on each Cisco VCS in
the cluster (including the master).
