Mitel MiVoice Business/MCD/3300 / Re: MiVB 8 to 10 upgrade path

Migration Guidelines document covers this scenario I think:

I still say the better way these days is to use LLPD-MED to "move" the phone to the voice VLAN, than only one DHCP scope is required in the voice VLAN.

This also speeds up the boot process and removes a point of failure.

Yeah, same here really, a dwindling number of MiVB customers left, basically only customers who are too indecisive to do anything!

Just to update this question, I have upgraded vMiVB and CX-II controller from 8.0SP3 to 10.0.2.10 in one step.

NAT. Handsets which are NATed consume licenses, so your lab should NAT the handsets if you want it to be representative of real-world Teleworker license usage.
I assume that is why IPv6 is licensed separately [that one puzzled me for years] because IPv6 eliminates the need for NAT in most cases.

Engineering suggests using Migration Tool on all MiVB

You need to run the migration tool on MiVB + vMiVB anyway to check over the config for unsupported elements before upgrading.
The Migration Tool is what updates the firmware on MiVB, it is not optional for this upgrade step.
vMiVB can be upgraded with the "restore config from running server" method, which is usually a breeze.

I don't envy you, the whole project sounds like a total ballache  :D

10.1 Release Notes
1.   For upgrades from MiVB 8.0 or less, migration tool must be used for MiVB 9.0 or higher upgrade. Note: Migration is not supported to MiVB 10.1. Migrations must be completed to pre 10.1 and then upgraded to 10.1.

That explains why there is no Migration Tool download for 10.1 but there is for 10.0.

The Migration Guidelines for 10.1 don't explicitly say, but I am inferring that it is possible to go from 8.0 to 10.1 without passing through 9.x on the way. Is that correct?

« on: July 26, 2024, 01:03:42 PM »
Maybe? Maybe not? It depends on how heavily loaded your LAN is, which nobody here knows the answer to.
In my experience, LAN bandwidth is very cheap compared to WAN bandwidth. I have never bothered with QOS on the LAN, and focused my attention on managing WAN bandwidth instead.

« on: July 25, 2024, 11:29:00 AM »
Surely you can just set-inform the Unifi devices and you're done? They then will not care about DNS entries or DHCP options [not certain about the latter - never used option 43 with Unifi].

Yes, I know we're well in to MiVCR's eleventh hour. Trying to follow HO5141, it advises the connection to the license server should be working before starting. But https://servicecenter.oaisys.com/oaisysservicecenter.asmx seems to be down and from the logs on an example server, it's been at least a day. Did they pull the plug early?

In that HO5141, what does this mean?

Prerequisites:
1. Active Internet connection to the MiVCR Licensing Server with a software lock. The license utility will not work if not initially deployed while the connection to the license server is still active.

Does it really mean it should, or shouldn't, be able to reach the license server?
