As mentioned in my previous blogs, Fresh install of CUCM, IM applications can be done using data export from old cluster.
Fresh install with Data export are supported by 12.5Su5/14+ versions and supported source release are 10.5, 11.5, 12.5, 14.
In this blog I explain how to export the data from an old cluster to SFTP which can be used for Fresh install. To learn more about Touch less VM instalaltion please Refer my previous blog Touchless VM installation .
Required COP File
ciscocm.DataExport_v1.0.cop.sgn cop file is available on cisco portal for downloads. Install this cop file on the source cluster.

you need to install the cop to support the command. After you install the COP from cli you will see utils system upgrade datexport command

No command you have to do Install with Data Import. When installing the new node during Platform Installation wizard you have to select Import to import data from the SFTP server.
