[cisco-voip] VMTools - CUCM 10.5

[Ed Leatherman]

We just patched vsphere this past weekend and ran into the selinux bug with
vmtools, and have also noted some weird stuff with memory and disk space
but on Unity Connection. I'll check in with the guy that was handling it
and see if there was any other strangeness, this doesn't give me warm and
fuzzies.
