[cisco-voip] CUCM on Virtual Servers

Mon Jan 12 12:53:53 EST 2009

Actually yes, a friend of mine was installing 7.0 on VMware and it works and we were shocked for this but seems that it is working normally, but as I am preparing for CCIE current blueprint and I am using 4.1 version but anyway it is a good thing that Vmware is working with current version.

Regarding the Demo version I think it is the NFR that is orderable for Advanced unified communication partners and it is really amazing it includes a lot of software pack. (software only) with only 275$; yet I think same cisco restriction regarding the platform is still the same.

Anyone tried unity connection, IPCC, presence server on VMware??

Note: for information about NFR see the below link

Actually, I believe you can install v7 on VMware now. It installs with special demo licenses and everything. I have not tested this, but this is what I heard.---Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.Senior Analyst (CCS) * University of Guelph * Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1(519) 824-4120 x56354 (519) 767-1060 FAX (JNHN)^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^"Bad grammar makes me [sic]" - Tshirt----- Original Message -----From: "Ahmed Elnagar" <ahmed_elnagar at hotmail.com>To: wsisk at cisco.com, scasper at mtb.comCc: "VOIP Group" <cisco-voip at puck.nether.net>Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 12:37:32 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada EasternSubject: Re: [cisco-voip] CUCM on Virtual Servers

 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.

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,
