[cisco-voip] Testing Disaster Recovery of 7.x to a VM.

[Ryan Ratliff]

Yes this should work, but as you said isn't supported.

The error you are getting means the DRS Master or Local services isn't reachable on CCM-NODE1.  If that's your publisher then make sure both of those are running, and try bouncing them if they are.   If that's the sub, then make sure you choose to restore only the server(s) that are built and configured as VMs.

Dear All.
 
In the interest of forward planning and Disaster Recovery, I have been attempting to restore our weekly backup from CUCM  to a Virtual vMware ESXi host.
 
The host is built and on an identical version
 
It’s networked away from the main network to prevent any ISSUES…
 
I can connect fine to the restore point , select the file, select to restore CCM, select the publisher node.
 
Then hit restore.
 
It immediately baulks with
 
“Error: At least one of the servers which was requested to be restored is not connected CCM-NODE1. This may be due to master or local Agent being down. ….”
 
I think the ipsec serials check out  and I have checked the Agents are running..
 
Has anyone else ever tried this, I know production only supports 8.x on vMware but thought it may at least be possible to do DR-Restore for testing…
 
Any ideas?
