Cisco MPP Migration Hardware Revision Discovery

Cisco MPP Migration Hardware Revision Discovery

Data Gathering tool for determining if Cisco 7821, 7841, and 7861 phones running enterprise firmware are compatiple with multi-platform firmware. These models are only compatible above specific hardware revisions

Reference: Convert between Enterprise Firmware and Multiplatform Firmware for Cisco IP Phone 7800 and 8800 Series Guide

Logic Flow

1. Gather CUCM version using UDS API, parse to major version
2. Use major version to inform WSDL file for AXL from schema directory. This directory should match the axlsqltoolkit.zip schema directory from CUCM plugins
3. Gather all SEP phones from CUCM using AXL listPhone API
4. Filter results to 7821, 7861, and 7841 models that are hardware revision restricted for MPP migration
5. Chunk into blocks of 900 for RISPort70 API query to avoid hitting the 1000 result max
6. Process each chunk, gathering the registration status, load information, and first IPv4 address
7. Gather the Device's hardware UDI info from DeviceInformationX. As this is timeconsuming depending on the device count, it is multiprocessed
8. Write the results to CSV for review
