Introduction to ciscocm.preUpgradeCheck-00045.k4.cop.sha512
This pre-upgrade validation tool automates system health checks for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) and IM & Presence Service (IMPS) environments prior to major version upgrades. Designed under Cisco’s 2024 Software Assurance Program, this COP file (Cisco Options Package) ensures compliance with NIST SP 800-193 platform integrity guidelines while verifying 23 critical upgrade prerequisites.
Compatible with CUCM 11.5(1) SU4 and later versions, the utility addresses common upgrade failure points including insufficient disk space (minimum 10GB free on /common partition), invalid database replication states, and security certificate expirations. The “_00045” revision released in Q2 2025 introduces enhanced TLS 1.3 cipher suite validation for hybrid cloud deployments.
Key Features and Improvements
-
Comprehensive System Diagnostics
- Validates free disk space across 15 critical partitions including /var/log and /common
- Checks database cluster synchronization status with <2ms tolerance thresholds
- Detects expired security certificates 30 days before expiration
-
Security Enhancements
- SHA512 checksum verification prevents file tampering during transfer
- PCI-DSS compliant audit trail generation for compliance reporting
- TLS 1.3 cipher suite validation for Webex Cloud Connect integrations
-
Performance Optimizations
- 40% faster diagnostic execution compared to v00041 (2023 release)
- Multi-threaded resource analysis reduces CPU load by 25% during checks
-
Cloud Readiness Verification
- Validates DNS SRV records for hybrid CUCM/Webex Calling configurations
- Checks API gateway connectivity to Cisco Control Hub
Compatibility and Requirements
| Component | Supported Versions | Minimum Specifications |
|---|---|---|
| Cisco Unified CM | 11.5(1)SU4+ / 12.5(1)+ | UCS C220 M7/C240 M8 Servers |
| IM & Presence Service | 12.5(1)SU2+ | 16GB RAM allocated |
| Virtualization Platform | VMware ESXi 8.0 U3+ | 150GB thin-provisioned storage |
| Operating System | RHEL 8.9 | Intel Xeon Silver 4314+ CPU |
Critical Compatibility Notes:
- Requires Cisco Prime Collaboration 12.9(1) for full reporting functionality
- Incompatible with third-party backup solutions using LVM snapshots
- UCS C-Series servers require BIOS 4.3(2d) for secure boot validation
Limitations and Restrictions
-
Diagnostic Coverage
- Does not validate third-party SIP trunk configurations
- Limited to checking first-level dependencies in multi-cluster environments
-
Execution Constraints
- Requires root privileges for full filesystem analysis
- Cannot run concurrently with CUCM Disaster Recovery System (DRS) backups
-
Version Compatibility
- Must uninstall pre-v00040 COP files before deployment
- Cluster-wide execution requires sequential node-by-node installation

End-of-Support Notice
Legacy preUpgradeCheck COP files below v00043 will reach end-of-life on December 31, 2025. Transition to v00045 is required for environments upgrading to CUCM 15.x releases.
This utility aligns with Cisco’s 2025 Zero-Downtime Upgrade Initiative and implements FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic modules for enterprise security compliance.
