[cisco-voip] CUCM on Virtual Servers

Mon Jan 12 12:58:34 EST 2009

Cool.  Yeah, you can hack 4.x to make it work, but it not nearly as
clean as 6/7 is.  Maybe you can install 5, but i'm not sure.  I skipped
that version. 

I have unity connection on vmware and it seems to work fine.  I only
have about 2 accounts on it, but no major problems with it.  That's 6.1
of Unity Connection by the way.

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.

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.

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 explainManager, 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,
