MiVB 9.0

[PC77375]

I have a VMware prod lab system that I will be upgrading soon. Bit of red tape to navigate on getting a new ova deployed, but I will let you know when I get that going.

So upgraded my demo system... Smaller MXe III with E2T, setup with full blown MiCollab, about 15 programmed phones (mix of 6900 and 5300 series), and a PRI. Pretty small setup, but it still took almost two hours:

But everything is up and running as it was... Time to play around a bit now

Mitel issued a revised support statement for the 5200 series sets under bulletin PB20170185. This bulletin clarified that, whilst we expect the phones will operate as normal, the 5200 sets will not have the normal support level. Specifically, this means that, should issues arise after the upgrade to release 9.0, Mitel reserves the right to not fix specific issues isolated to the 5200 series sets operation. In effect, this is a very similar position as Mitel undertook on the Peripheral Node as we transitioned away from the older technology to the newer product variants.

... so does this mean we can no longer install and use the 5485 Paging Unit? It needs to boot up as a 5010 handset?

The 5485 should work find, it doesn't pull firmware from the controller., like the 5020 or 5240 sets of NuPoint.. But remember it does require the "old" DHCP options of 128+, and setting those up in the "new" Server-Manager is troublesome.

That said, I have yet to test it.
