<font size="3" face="Lucida Grande">I've installed it using the 6.0 CDs and they install fine. You can install 6.0 CUCM and Unity Connection on a vm fine. We've had trouble with 7.0 UC and CCM, but it looks like a known problem. That problem is with AMD CPUs. The installer will not install with a system that has an AMD CPU. I have installed it on a laptop that has a core 2 duo processor, and it works fine. My point is that you should be able to install it, unsupported with no problem. What version are you trying to install?</font> </p>

 <br>I think it would be useful for training and Lab purpose if cisco supported...we are not concerned about system performance or what so ever we just need to have a couple of virtual machines on a single server to reduce lab costs and to always be able to revert to a clean machine state ...I even tried to install CM on vmware on a supported platform but the installation detects that it is a VMware and refuses to install.<br><br><br> </p>

Does Cisco have a link or statement somewhere that explains their position as to why their unified applications, in particular Call Manager, are not supported in a virtual server environment for production implementations and why specific hardware specifications must be followed? I know the answers to these questions but I am looking for a Cisco response.. </p>
