BCM 3.7 to 4.0 upgrdae 1

[adamandamy]

Running the precheck tool in advance of the upgrade and it's telling I need to remove some CDR files to ge within the 200MB limit.
How do I do that? The customer doesn't use the CDR function so it doesn't have to be pretty.

BCM 4.0: Upgrade gives error "existing call detail recording storage exceeds 200 MB"
Problem Description
When upgrading BCM 3.6 or BCM 3.7 to BCM Version 4.0 upgrade wizard gives error:"existing call detail recording storage exceeds 200MB".

The combination of factory default configuration for CDR defaults to Status "Up", Startup on reboot defaults to Enabled-Automatic, and the CDR Disk Space Limit defaults to 400MB can create this issue even when the user is not utilizing CDR records for call accounting purposes.
Problem Resolution
The recording files can be deleted if not in use as follows via telnet or the serial port on command line. If CDR is set to "Up" when performing this procedure, the "Active" clip file will give an error that it is in use but will not affect the ability to delete the older CDR files (see example below):

Thankyou for the reply. It worked like a charm.
I do have a related follow up question. Once I complete the upgrade, do the desktop clients have to be upgraded at the same time (immediately after the BCM upgrade) or can I use the clients associated with 3.7 with 4.0 until such time as I get around to upgrading them?

Many Thanks again.

Most of the client applications should work but Nortel suggest to update them all.
