[cisco-voip] CUCM on Virtual Servers

Mon Jan 12 14:14:32 EST 2009

Every CUCM version past 5.0(4) I believe will install in VMWare.  I  
don't believe 5 has demo licenses and 7 now has specific vmware  
licenses that are a bit more useful than the 6.x demo license.

I run 2x CUCM 7.0, Unity connection and XP pro for testing in Vmware

CM 6  will work in VM 5.

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

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,
