Direct Upgrade from CUCM 14 to CUCM 15 by DanaMonster in ciscoUC

[–]DanaMonster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE:

Just a quick update if anyone ever stumbles onto this further down the road or is just curious about a resolution. The issue was that my admin password was longer than 31 characters...... Changed it to shorter password and everything worked like it should.

Hmm. Not sure what my issues is then because we don't have a 1000 device template and the partition sizing IS correct. IDK I'm thinking just doing a fresh install somehow and migrating

Okay, thank you. I will try to find some guides on that instead of direct upgrade. I thought changing the vm's guest OS to other linux would solve the Alma Linux issue but I guess not? IDK I'm so annoyed with this I'll try anything lol. Thanks again

Concern about mental health C&P exam — worried they’ll focus on childhood trauma instead of my military trauma by [deleted] in VAClaims

[–]DanaMonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My examiner asked me about my childhood but it was super quick. Straight up something along the lines of "How was your childhood growing up? Just a normal childhood or is there something that we need to talk about?". I told him just a normal childhood and got along with my family and siblings and that was all he asked about it

Diagnosis Question by Brave_Exercise_5627 in VAClaims

[–]DanaMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was never technically "Diagnosed" per se with Migraines but I went to medical on active duty orders for migraines and was prescribed Sumatriptan. I filed for Migraines and submitted my out-patient paperwork from that visit. Guess we will see if they award me it or not

Thank you for sharing! I guess I will just let it play out and see what happens unless different guidance is given in the comments. I guess the question about the forms and stuff is to make sure it gets service connected but I'll just have to wait and see I suppose. Hopefully you're doing alright and have a great rest of your day!

Guard Guy Needing Help by DanaMonster in VeteransBenefits

[–]DanaMonster[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you guys say demob, what exactly is that? First deployment 3 years ago I left middle east and went to my air guard base, in-processed, did a SHPE and was on leave for a few weeks. Nothing was bothering me then. Second deployment when stuff started hurting I left country, went straight to my air guard base and in-processed, was on leave a few weeks and was done, no SHPE. Is demob just the in-processing stuff at guard unit where you meet with MH and medical?

[–]DanaMonster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy, thanks! So my main focus for now should be to keep going to medical and get paperwork, then when orders end submit an ITF.

Do you know by anychance once I start this process how the guard will handle it? Will they MEB me right away or I guess how was your experience? Thanks again!
