Prerequisites and software dependencies
Cisco VCS and Cisco TMS software dependency
There is a software dependency between VCS X6.n and TMS 12.6 or later. If you are running
Cisco TMS with Provisioning or FindMe, or your Cisco VCSs are clustered and you want to
upgrade your Cisco VCS to X6.n or later, you must also upgrade Cisco TMS to TMS 12.6 or
later.
Cisco TMS with Provisioning or FindMe, or your Cisco VCSs are clustered and you want to
upgrade your Cisco VCS to X6.n or later, you must also upgrade Cisco TMS to TMS 12.6 or
later.
The “Cluster creation and maintenance” deployment guide (document D14367) contains full
instructions on how to upgrade to VCS X6.1 and TMS 12.6 or later. Please use these instructions
accompanied by the TMS upgrade procedures found in the relevant Cisco TMS Installation and
Getting Started Guide.

If you are running TMS 12.5 you must upgrade it to 12.6 or later before upgrading to VCS X6.n.
You must use the procedures in the preceding documents if you use any of the following
features:

Clustering, or
Device provisioning, or
FindMe (with Cisco TMS managing Cisco VCS)
For other Cisco VCS deployments you may follow the Basic Cisco VCS X6.n upgrade procedure
below.
below.
Note that if you are running a single Cisco VCS with FindMe (without clustering or Cisco TMS) you
can follow the Basic Cisco VCS X6.1 upgrade procedure below. Note, if you configure FindMe on a
single VCS with no replication to TMS and at a later date you include this Cisco VCS in a cluster you
will have to re-enter your FindMe accounts as they will be overwritten by Cisco TMS. To avoid this
problem you are recommended to use Cisco TMS 12.6 or later and Cisco VCS X6.n and replicate your
Cisco VCS FindMe accounts with Cisco TMS.

Basic VCS X6.1 upgrade procedure
Follow this procedure for upgrading Cisco VCS to X6.1, only if all of the following apply:
The Cisco VCS is not part of a cluster, and
Provisioning is not in use, and
Cisco TMS is not managing the Cisco VCS
Cisco VCS is currently X5.1.1 or later
Note: It is recommended that if FindMe™ is used that it is replicated with Cisco TMS. This allows a
standalone Cisco VCS to be clustered in the future and the FindMe™ data kept. (If the FindMe™ data
is not replicated with Cisco TMS, if the Cisco VCS is ever clustered the FindMe™ data from the Cisco
VCS will be lost).

This procedure upgrades the Cisco VCS:
1. Backup the Cisco VCS.
Note: You should backup your system before upgrading. If you later need to downgrade to an
earlier release you will have to restore a backup made against that previous release.
