Also note that CUCM 7.x and later is based on RHEL 4. There's also a 
bug where your 7.x filesystems can go into readonly mode. 
Note it affects any voice product based on the RHEL 4 VOS (voice 
os). This includes CUPS, CUC, etc.

The RPM with the fix will be in 7.1(3) and later. TAC will not be 
able to assist you with getting this fix.

I setup a few CUCM7s in workstation and configured them to 
dynamically allocate the disk space. After the initial install I 
recall the VM took up around 15-20 GB of diskspace on the host 
machine. After leaving the CM7 VMs running 24/7 for a month or so, 
the size of the VMs grew to somewhere around 40-50 GB due to log 
files, etc. This was in a small lab environment with very little 
active call processing. 

At least these are the numbers I recall, I no longer have the VMs to 
verify the size. Keep that in mind when you're planning out how many 
VMs you can fit on your host machine.

Thanks Tanner. Looks like I'll need some large disks in order to run 
a few machines. 

Or do I have it wrong. Does VMware dynamically assign disk space? If 
I give a VM 72 gb, does that have to physically exist on the VMServer?

You'll need at least 1GB (ram) and 72GB (disk) to install UCM (and 
most other cisco products..) 

ESXi runs with less overhead than workstation (no host overhead). 

Make sure to select Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 for the VM type when 
installing a Linux based appliance.

i'm looking at building or cannibalizing a couple of servers to run 
VMWare ESX or workstation so I can get my three CUCM nodes up and 
running. 

What are people using as their VMWare configs? disk/memory etc. 

Are there any advantages to going with ESXi vs workstation?
