[cisco-voip] UC on UCS Installation

[Matthew Loraditch]

You can download ESXi ISOs from VMware.com. I'm pretty sure you can get them just by registering.
Have you ever used VMware before? You pretty much just import the OVAs and mount your isos/DVDs and it's off to the races. If you haven't used VMWare I'm not sure what to tell you.
I can't recall having seen a start to finish guide that's both VMware and UCS, but here's a just VMWare part: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/sw/os/vmware/install/VMWARE-esxi-install.html
If you have or develop any more specific questions please let me know.

Subject: [cisco-voip] UC on UCS Installation

I am the proud owner of a couple of UCS-C210M2 boxes but now I have to figure out how to make these work. Trying to initially install these in my lab and install Call Manager on them. Got one of them unboxed and used the quick start and C210 server install guides to power up, connect to the network and configure the CIMC so I can web access it. So far so good but where do I go now? I have been unable to find any good Cisco docs on next steps.

I assume I have to register my ESXi activation codes but where does the Vmware software come from to install. Then what? -  looks like I need to download and register the appropriate OVAs. I have found the wikis but they seem short on details. Is there any comprehensive document on how to build and configure  UC on UCS?

Thanks,
Steve
