[cisco-voip] CUCM on Virtual Servers

[Jason Aarons (US)]

You've been able to install 6x/7x on VMWare for awhile.  When you SSH in
you get a big message about VMWare being unsupported platform, etc.

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,
Ahmed Elnagar

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_sup
port_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..
