color:#1F497D'>If you are using the OVF and standard Cisco 8.0.2c bootable
media, there are only a couple other things to check. Make sure you are using
ESXi 4.0 or later (ESX is not supported). Also, I would run through a media
check if you haven’t already (the option that comes up pre-install after
booting from DVD). And the other item would be the hardware you are running it
on. Maybe a driver or some other incompatibility. You might want to try ESXi
4.1 to see if it helps or try running ESXi on a different hardware setup?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

processor, motherboard, and NIC problems using any of the VMware ESX/ESXi
versions that require 64bit. You can try giving it more than 80 GB and
try 2GB of RAM or larger as well.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone been able to install CUCM 8.0(2c) in ESXi for lab
purposes? I am having a heck of a time trying to get this installed with
the Cisco media. I've tried on both ESXi 4.0 and 3.5. Tried several
variations of 72GB, 73GB and 80GB hard drives. Tried with 1 and 2
processors. Also tried with RHEL 3, 4 and 5 (32 bit). It typically
makes it through the initial OS and application install, and then goes to a
blue screen with a blinking cursor at the bottom and just sits there. If
I restart the VM at this point, it goes through it's bootup, detects VMWare,
installs VMWare Tools, then gives an Installation Failed error stating 'The
installation has failed and must be restarted to recover from the failure'.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I've also tried deploying with the OVF template using the
ova file from CCO, same problem. Last night, I let it sit at the blue
screen overnight thinking it just needed more time, same blue screen in the
morning. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Just to clarify, it's not the typical Windows
"blue screen", just a screen of blue color with a blinking cursor at
the bottom. <o:p></o:p></p>
