[cisco-voip] CallManager and IPCC Express on VMWare

[Ted Nugent]

Nice write up Jonathan.. 

Another way of handling this is to ghost your MCS
server, Ghost is back to a blank VM and use P2V to
update your virtual drivers. This has worked
flawlessly for me in the past especially if I need to
recreate a customer scenario or a sticky upgrade
procedure (that is if they will give me the down time
to Ghost their servers). 

In either event you’re still stuck upgrading from
CM4.x to CM5 to get a working license as Jonathan
mentioned. If anyone has some tricks of getting around
this I'd be very interested in hearing them.

Also, just a note which has bitten me in the past,
using the P2V method don’t uninstall the HP Utility or
your DBL Monitor service will likely hang on your
SUBs. You can get by all the service control errors by
simply disabling the services.
