[cisco-voip] Adding second CUCM7 node in VMware? - problems with NTP sync

[Stephen Greszczyszyn]

I eventually solved the problem.  I'm guessing that there was some sort of
conflict with the NTP client/server installed on the underlying Debian
operating system.  I'm not really sure how that happened since the VMWare
guest should be isolated from the host.

Anyway, I have now successfully installed 2 CUCM7 nodes on VMWare ESXi
(running on old MCS servers) and also on VMWare Server 2 running on Ubuntu
8.10 server 64-bit (without NTP installed).  This is with the default 3
node/150 DLU license.  Installed with static IP, no DNS, no NTP, no SMTP.
