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

[Philip Walenta]

I've actually installed a 2-node CUCM 7 under VMware with NTP operational
(for what I'm doing synced time for traces is a neccessity).  I had some
initial DB sync problems but I got them sorted out.  Both under the free
version of VMware.  One platform is WinXP (subscriber), the other Ubuntu
with a few timer/CPU fixes (publisher).

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.

How are you licensing the second node?

It's not supported, but Murphy's Law in my lab environment after I install
fresh copies of both on same machine install went fine and they sync fine.

Hi,

I have successfully built a CUCM7 first node (publisher) in VMware Server
(Linux) with the following configuration:
Static IP/network info, no NTP, no SMTP, no DNS.

I am now trying to add a second node (subscriber) to the cluster (same
VMware, same bridged network), and I keep getting an installation failure
when the second node tries to synchronize with the NTP server on the first
node.  The second node passes the first part of the installation, and then
reboots and continues installation until the NTP sync part where it fails.

On the first node I have tried all types of installation configurations
(using NTP, DNS) and I have verified network connectivity between the first
node and second node (ping) using the CLI.  I have also changed the first
node config from hostname to IP address and added the second node under
ccmadmin->system->server before starting the second node installation.

Has anyone experienced this or can tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks.
