<div><div>I would probably consider this so that my publisher is on real hardware and subscribers are on VMware sessions. The reason I say this is because of so many dependencies with VMware, network device and storage device, if anything happens to the shared storage, worse comes to worse, I just restore a pub and wait for a sync to complete. <br>

<div style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Having a single CUCM cluster split between virtualized on UCS and running on MCS servers is supported. As long as CUCM is installed on supported platforms, it can run in a hybrid appliance and
virtualized configuration.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have a customer where we recently deployed a CUCM solution, They are running CUCM 8.5.1 on two MCS7825 I4 servers. This deployment is no more than a year old, 14 months tops. Now they are looking to virtualize their DC servers and deploy
a DRS DC on one of their remote locations, It is too soon to change out those servers but I was wondering if it is possible to deploy a second subscriber which would run on one of the UCS servers or chassis they acquire. Can you have such a hybrid layout.
I’m sure TAC will probably won’t support but this would be a better option than having them split the SUB/PUB via a 10MB WAN link that they have to the site.<u></u><u></u></p>
