Notes For Upgrades From Cisco Tms V11.X; Additional Notes For Upgrades From Versions 9.X And 10.X; Additional Notes For Upgrade From Versions Prior To 9.X - Cisco TELEPRESENCE MANAGEMENT SUITE Installation And Getting Started Manual

You have Cisco VCS clusters defined in Cisco TMS 12.0. See the section on clustering for
instructions on changes to cluster configuration with Cisco VCS X4.1 software.
You use Provisioning Directory and Movi, review software dependencies between Cisco TMS and
Cisco VCS.
If you participated in the Movi Beta, it is recommended you refer to their Beta Community Point of
Contact for specific upgrade instructions.

Notes for upgrades from Cisco TMS v11.x

If you are using a Cisco TelePresence Content Server (TCS) with Cisco TMS, all TCS must be running
version S2.0 or later. If you are upgrading from versions prior to S2, update all the server
configurations and update any future bookings (see the Supplement Notes for Manuals section of the
Cisco TMS v11.6 release in the Cisco TMS v11 Release Notes document available from the
TelePresence web site.
Starting with Cisco TMS v12.0, permissions underwent slight reorganization. It is recommended that
administrators who implement different user levels through permissions review their user group
permissions after upgrading to Cisco TMS v12, and adjust the permissions to their intended settings if
necessary.

Additional Notes for upgrades from versions 9.x and 10.x

Cisco TMS has gone through significant changes since these releases, and while the Cisco TMS
installer will import existing data, there are many new settings and existing settings that have changed.
Be sure to work through the Administrative Tools settings after installation to populate and update the
Cisco TMS installation. In particular, the permissions model has been overhauled and Group
Permissions and System Permissions must be reviewed and updated. Expect inconsistent behavior
between different systems until Cisco TMS has refreshed the configuration of each system – normally
this will happen automatically within 1-4 hours.

Additional notes for upgrade from versions prior to 9.x

Cisco TelePresence recommends a new installation rather than performing upgrade installations older
than Cisco TMS 9.0., although the Cisco TMS installer will still import existing data. Server
requirements have changed significantly, as well as the configuration and functionality throughout the
product making most direct upgrades significantly more complex than simply performing a new
installation on a new host server.
