[cisco-voip] UC Apps on Unsupported ESXi Versions

[Anthony Holloway]

All,

I'm planning an upgrade to UCCX 8.5(1)SU3 to 10.5(1)SU1 by way of
8.5(1)SU4.  My ESXi is on 4.1 and I am planning to upgrade it to 5.5.

The virtualization guide does not list ESXi 5.5 as supported for UCCX 8x.

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Virtualization_for_Unified_CCX#Version_8.5.28x.29

And, the virtualization guide also does not list ESXi 4.1 as supported for
UCCX 10x.

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Virtualization_for_Unified_CCX#Version_10.5.28x.29

I am wondering if anyone has experience with this and if it really matters
what order I do the upgrades in, considering that at the end of the
maintenance window, I will be on UCCX 10.5(1)SU1 and ESXi 5.5; which is
supported.

My biggest concern is with the UCCX upgrade to 8.5(1)SU4 halting because of
a hardware/software compatibility check while on ESXi 5.5, or likewise,
UCCX 10.5(1)SU1 halting because of ESXi 4.1.

This is also why the subject of this email says "UC Apps" and not "UCCX."
 I would suspect all UC Apps (VOS based ones anyway) upgrade in the same
manner, when it comes to hardware/software checks.

Actually, do UC Apps even check your version of ESXi?  Or do they just see
"VMware" and the hardware resources allocated?

Thank you.
