[cisco-voip] MeetingPlace express VMware ESX (Solution)

[Hughes, Scott GRE/MG]

FYI, I have installed MeetingPlace Express 2.0.3 on VMware ESX natively (no conversion needed)

My procedure is here: http://www.scotthughes.org/mpe-vmware

It involves altering a couple scripts on the installation media slightly. I was also able to upgrade my 2.0.3 installation to 2.1 with no issues.

Hope this helps someone..

Scott

You have to load it in VMware workstation. Convert the IDE disks to SCSI disks. Then import the VM using VMconverter into ESX. LONG process.

There is a document on VMware on how to convert the IDE to SCSI disks.

What did you have to do to load this into ESX?  I'm getting the same GRUB loader error 18 that you mentioned...

Thanks,
Brian

I finally have this working on my ESX server. I converted the vmware image that comes with the NFR kit. I also upgraded it to 2.03.

Anyone one else? Does anyone know if the next version of MPE will be on the same OS as CUCM so that it can detect VMware?

Thanks but I said that I have already converted it in my original e-mail. I did use the VMware tool . The problem is that the server image that is shipped uses IDE drives and ESX does not support IDE. So during the conversion proccess it converts it to SCSI and then when I start the vm the GRUB loader does not boot the system.

Hi

try to import the image with the VMWare Converter. http://www.vmware.com/products/converter/
you can set source and destination and it converts the Image from VMServer to ESX.

Has anyone found a way to install Meetingplace 2.x in Vmware ESX? I know you can order the NFR from Cisco and they will send you a VMware image already configured. The problem is all I have at my company. ESX and not vmware server. I have tried to convert it and it will not boot.
