Backup restore question

You can make a backup of 6.3 and (force) upload in 8.1. I’d skip the security files from the backup and assign new accounts after the upgrade. Just to keep things clean.

Yes you can. But that does not mean you do not need to adjust the config. For istance, private- versus public numbering needs attentention for it is changed since R7. In all my projects I do a test migration first, just to see if the xln will load. When that works that step of the migration is confirmed. During the actual Go Live, make sure you have a solid testplan and let the customer execute it. So test Fax, modem, call center, attendant, etc. and also check if names and numbers are sent correctly. Saving and transferring security settings is i my opinion not a good idea but is possible.

You install the new CM on VMware first. You can use new IP addresses, FQDN. whatever you want. That is Linux. The next step is to save the backup ofthe old CM and import it to the new CM. Make all the needed changes if you switch IP addresses and after go live, add the G450’s and remove the G650’s. But these are just a few steps! There is much more to it, please make sure you have a solid plan with all steps defined!
