[cisco-voip] Unity 4.x Upgrade to 5

[Go0se]

Ah. I agree that it isn't big enough. I didn’t think 8gb was enough back in
the day when Unity 4 was current.

I've read the documentation fairly thoroughly and never saw an actual
requirement.

There is no such requirement, and as far as I can tell it is a
disaster in the making.

First off, it is too small for a modern OS install (especially with
4GB of RAM, your pagefile.sys is going to be that big...); second,
Unity, Exchange, SQL all default to install on C: (and cannot be
changed ever again after installl without blowing everything away and
starting over).

Which is why I have been wondering why the Unity OS disks install a
12GB partition and then the rest as D:

On new G5s with 146GB drives, this gives you a massive drive for the
data files, and no where near big enough for the OS.

So, do this.

Get a copy of Windows 2003, install it on the server as one big
partition (disable UDDI and IE Security crap, enable SNMP, NNTP, SMTP,
etc). Use the key from the Unity OS disks to activate Windows, and
instlal everything on C:
