[cisco-voip] VMWare

[Matt Slaga (US)]

To minimize support issues, Cisco has pre-selected particular server
hardware that they will support.  

 

They have not approved UCM for any type of virtual or blade servers.
Blade server support may come out in the future with the heavy
integration work HP is doing with Cisco, but virtual servers I would be
surprised to see in the next 5 years.  Virtual servers and real-time
communications do not really go well together.

I'm not familiar at all with this licensing.  The only answer I've had
out of Cisco is... "just buy the Cisco approved servers."

 

Can you buy Callmanager for anything other than their approved servers?
Yes I understand that is not recommended.  I am just curious... like a
blade server maybe.

Your problem will be with licensing.  Cisco will not provide you a
license file for a system with a VMWare mac address.

All:

I'm curious about the legality of running Callmanager in a production
environment on VMware.  

1)  Is it legal if you have a license for Callmanager?

2)  Is Callmanager crippled in anyway when installed on VMware?

I know that Cisco will not provide support for it, but I'm OK with that.

Thanks!
