[cisco-voip] CUCM on Virtual Servers

Mon Jan 12 13:22:23 EST 2009

I run 2x CUCM 7.0, Unity connection and XP pro for testing in Vmware
workstation 6.  They run fine with Quad Core and 4 gig RAM.

CM 6  will work in VM 5.

HTH,

Brion

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
<http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/compat/mcs-server-os-120
4.xls>  Unified Communications Operating System Supported Server Hardware
Compatibility Matrix

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
