NOTES:
1. After the OSV Single Load Line (SLL) introduction, the following two images will be released instead
of one:
• V9_R4_48_UCV7R3_IMG.iso is to be used ONLY by simplex deployments that use SLL, i.e to
upgrade from OSV V8 or V9 to latest V9, while Applications remain on V7R3. – NOTE this IMG
will not be released as UCV7R3 is no longer supported
• V9_R4_48_UCV9R4_IMG.iso is for all the rest deployments (i.e. simplex deployments that will
not use SLL and standard duplex deployments irrespective of whether they will use SLL or not).
For more information on the OSV SLL concept please see the Appendix
2. A USB stick (>= 16GB) is required for physical server installations. For Virtual systems no USB is
needed, the ISO file can be directly connected to the VM. More details on this can be found in the
IUG.
Notes:
¹ ONLY delivered with the OSV image. This MOP is not available separately in SWS..
Prior to an upgrade, from a previous release, it is recommended to have all MOPs installed (f/w and
OS updates).
2.1 Installation
2.1.1 RapidStat report
A RapidStat report must be generated before and after performing any upgrade or downgrade of the switch.
This will help identify any problems that may be caused by the upgrade.
- NOTE: If the IBM x3550 M4 is rebooted with the USB drive in the server, the server may attempt to boot
from the USB device. It is recommended that the USB device be removed from the server when
operations with the USB device are completed.
- The Image contains English languages for announcements. If any other languages are needed for the
Integrated Simplex deployment, they must be installed from the Applications DVD after the completion of
the OSV installation
Installation Time:
Hints:
IMPORTANT! Consult chapters 2.5 and 4 for important information on settings and restrictions.
1. V9 customers updating to PS48 and onwards must update using the image & the Toolkit; this method of
updating is required in order to pick up MOPs that are included on the PS48 (or beyond) images.
2. If UC version is below V9R3, do not use the Common Repository location; use OSV Node1 instead. In
this method the cumulative patch must be placed under directory /software/patch/<release name dir> of
node1.
Updating from a previous V9 patch level to the current level should be done as per the OpenScape Voice V9,
Installation & Upgrade Guide (IUG). If necessary, patchsets may be removed using the procedures described
in the same document.
If updating both the OpenScape Voice Server and OpenScape Voice Applications (CMP, Assistants,
MS), the OpenScape Applications should be updated first, before the OpenScape Voice Server.
Note: emergency patchsets are cumulative. E patchsets that are included in a cumulative patchset will show
as “Patchset – Packaged” in the Assistant; you cannot roll forward to or roll back to a “packaged” patchset –
the option will be grayed out. See this example (taken from V5 but valid also for V6 and beyond):

• NOTE: OptiPoint 410/420 SIP devices are not longer supported, even for backward
compatibility purposes. OpenStage or Deskphone IP phones or supported soft clients are
the alternatives. *
• OpenScape Mobile Connect is no longer supported, even for backward compatibility purposes.
OpenScape Mobility is the replacement solution. *
• Comdasys proxy is no longer supported, even for backward compatibility purposes. OpenScape
Branch is the replacement solution. *
• RG2700 is no longer supported, even for backward compatibility purposes. Use a supported
gateway shown in Section 6, below. *
• OptiClient-S is no longer supported, even for backward compatibility purposes. OpenScape
Personal Edition or one of the OpenScape UC clients are replacement options. *
* To protect customer’s investment in older technology, Unify will continue to support solutions containing
such products on a best effort basis. However, while basic functionality can still be expected from these
products, if any faults/problems occur it may not be possible to address them. Customers will then have the
choice of either tolerating those issues or purchasing a replacement product.
• Customers must use the HW models specified in Section 6 of this document.
• Regarding OpenStage Video calls (FRN5571): this is released only for OpenStage to OpenStage
calls. Interworking with other video equipment is not released
• Directory numbers for OpenScape Contact Center agents should NOT be configured on multiple
devices; that is, OSCC agent DNs should not use the "multiple contacts" or "multiple prime lines"
feature.
▪ Regarding Concierge V3:
o While a Concierge V3 attendant is busy in a call, 4K users cannot invoke these features
(over SIP-Q) towards the attendant: emergency override, camp-on override or forced
release; attempts to do so will fail. No workaround.
• Regarding OSV integration with HiPath Cordless devices:
o In the OSV subscriber settings for Cordless devices, the secure media setting should be
set to “SRTP disable”. Cordless IP devices will not be able to complete a call to another
device that is “SRTP only”, either MIKEY or SDES“.
o "Call Transfer on Ringing" by a Cordless device in a branch office that goes into
survivability mode is not supported.

For details on the each system’s configuration, please consult the OpenScape Voice V9 Installation &
Upgrade Guide.
The official firmware version is listed in the Version column. However, depending on the method used to get
the firmware in a running system (BIOS, RSA, ASU), the same firmware may return a different number, listed
in the Alternative Version column. The Build Id can also be used for additional confirmation.
Notes:
¹ Items recently released are marked with a star ().
2 The OpenScape Voice Server Images are comprised of OpenScape Voice V9 R4.48.0 and OpenScape
Applications V9R4.27.0; however, administrators should update their systems to the latest HF level
available in SWS.
3 When performing an upgrade on an Integrated Simplex, the source system must have a smaller or equal
OpenScape Applications version compared to the target system. In case you want to upgrade to a higher
version of OSV and the OpenScape Applications version is lower than the one you have, perform steps
described in Chapter 7 of OpenScape Voice V9, Service Manual: Installation and Upgrades, Installation
Guide
4At least ESXi 5.5 and the vSphere Web Client 5.5 are required because the OSV vApp is built with VM
hardware version 10. Review the VMware vSphere 5.5 Documentation Center before proceeding;
• The vSphere Web Client has specific browser requirements. Review the “vSphere Web Client
Software Requirements”
• The Client Integration Plug-in provides access to a virtual machine's console in the vSphere Web
Client, and provides access to other vSphere infrastructure features. Refer the “Install the Client
Integration Plug-In in the vSphere Web Client” section
See Sections 2 and 4 for an important workarounds related to image installation, upgrades or migrations.
