[cisco-voip] OVA files

[Nate VanMaren]

FYI ESX 5.1 is not supported for virtualized UC.  The latest last time I checked was ESX 5.0

Cool, thanks guys, I am using ESXi 5.1 and it installed successfully.
Now need to get around the damn 60 day eval, unlike the 7.x where you get the 50 DLU's to Lab with without limitation.
I am slowly getting to the point of considering evaluating other UC solutions due to licensing and support difficulties with Cisco.

Looks like the major difference is ESXi 5.0 support on the vmv8 one.  Which do you have ESXi 4 or 5?

Here's a table that shows vmx-08 supports ESXi 5.0 and vmx-07 supports ESXi 4.0/4.1:

This what I went through out of my own curiosity...

Here's a diff on the read me's (Shows support for ESXi 5.0):

Here's a diff on the OVF's (vmx-07 to cmx-08 change):

Here are the diffs on the vmdks (Shows only the CIDs are different):

*Note: I did a hex dump on the vmdks first

Here is the diff on the mf file (Shows the hashes have changed; as they should since the files are different):

All, have looked around, but can anyone tell me the difference between these two files -
cucm_9.0_vmv7_v1.5.ova
cucm_9.0_vmv8_v1.5.ova
I am getting ready to install 9.0 and trying to figure out which template to use-

Thanks
