[cisco-voip] vmware support on BE7K - painful - tips on reducing ?

[Ryan Ratliff (rratliff)]

What syslog level are you trying to set? The main esxi syslog is a collector, debug levels are set at the individual service in vSphere.

Once the entitlement was confirmed, it's not been so bad.

Then again, I'm still trying to get them to help me set syslog level to error and they have no idea how to do that. <OutlookEmoji-☹.png>

VMware support is a total joke.

aha! that will likely do the trick. i did not use that technology. i guess the serial number is not enough to identify it as a BE7K product.



I will open the next one using that technology selection.



thanks for the tip!

The trick is when choosing the Technology for the case you must pick "UC Hypervisor and VMware Foundation on Cisco Business Edition Servers (Non ISV1)” under "Voice - Communications Manager”. If you pick any of the Data Center ones they are looking for your ISV1 contract number.



If that’s what you picked and you are still getting pushback send me the SR number please.

I had a few outstanding, but rather simple issues, with our BE7K deployment, so I thought I'd try my luck with TAC. These were specifically vmWare issues, so I was pessimistically optimistic (or optimistically pessimistic) about the whole thing.



Turns out, my expectations of entitlement issues were spot on.



Anyone have any tricks to speed things along?



I provide the serial number which should have the original vmware hypervisor support attached. But they just don't seem to acknowledge that. They're looking for data centre SKUs.



I wish there was html support in the case open tool, I'd write it in big fonts.
