[cisco-voip] CUCM on Virtual Servers

Mon Jan 12 12:42:03 EST 2009

I've installed it using the 6.0 CDs and they install fine.  You can install 6.0 CUCM and Unity Connection on a vm fine.  We've had trouble with 7.0 UC and CCM, but it looks like a known problem.  That problem is with AMD CPUs.  The installer will not install with a system that has an AMD CPU.  I have installed it on a laptop that has a core 2 duo processor, and it works fine.  My point is that you should be able to install it, unsupported with no problem.  What version are you trying to install?

I think it would be useful for training and Lab purpose if cisco supported...we are not concerned about system performance or what so ever we just need to have a couple of virtual machines on a single server to reduce lab costs and to always be able to revert to a clean machine state ...I even tried to install CM on vmware on a supported platform but the installation detects that it is a VMware and refuses to install.

Thanks,

it is more in the tradition of cisco documentation.  not stated = not supported.

There is a listing of supported platforms per version in the compatiblity section of CM documentation:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_device_support_tables_list.html
Cisco Unified Communications Operating System Supported Server Hardware Compatibility Matrix ( http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/mcs-server-os-1204.xls )

alas no virtual.

primary limiting factor so far: performance and system impact.  how does CM fare with being snapshotted, rolled forward, and rolled backward.  wo! uld those be 'supported' backup strategies?

Does Cisco have a link or statement somewhere that explains their position as to why their unified applications, in particular Call Manager, are not supported in a virtual server environment for production implementations and why specific hardware specifications must be followed? I know the answers to these questions but I am looking for a Cisco response.. 

Thanks, 

Steve
