[cisco-voip] Real World UC VM

[Tim Smith]

The links provided  will tell you to do it in a maintenance window, when the machine is not doing anything.
So it's not like you are going to vMotion it during busy hour with 1000 calls in progress :)

We  would usually just shut down the machines and migrate them. It doesn't take a lot longer.
It can be shared storage, or change data stores in this case as well.

I'm not too fussed about vMotion. But I'd love to be able to use something smarter to do the backups.

Cheers,

Tim

Here's the info on support... I'm not sure I've got any customers using vMotion on CUCM so not sure about realworld at this time.

Scott,

My understanding is moving with vmotion is fine as long as the datastore doesn't change.  I'm fairly sure it's supported that way as well.  Will have to find some documentation to back that up though.

OK, just got off a call with SE saying that you can not  (not supported, can brake things) migrate UC apps from blade to blade in VMware with vmotion.

What is real world experience showing with VMware 5.x and UC 9.x?

Comments ? thoughts? opinions?  Tac Engineers?

TIA

Scott
