Installing or using any non 8.0.3 CUCM version on VMware is unsupported. I've personally seen issues with the license manager service when putting a pre 8.0.3 CUCM version on VMware as you're looking to do, even after upgrading it to 8.x! The supported method requires an upgrade on the current MCS server to an 8.0.3 or later version, backup, restore to a VM running the same exact version. That's why we created bridged upgrades, so that you can install 8.x on hardware that doesn't support it, simply to take a backup to move to VMware. <div><br></div><div>Adding to Abebe's reply, also remember that any custom TFTP files or MoH files will be lost using the rebuild method for the subscribers and letting them replicate. Remember to put back MoH files on the subscribers and custom TFTP files, and even certificate loaded on the OS admin page for secure LDAP connections, etc.</div><div><br></div><div>Again, I'd highly recommend not using the 6.x on VMware method.</div><div><br></div><div>Joe<br><div><br><div><div>On Dec 5, 2012, at 6:40 AM, Abebe Amare <<a href="mailto:abucho@gmail.com">abucho@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">you can install the subscriber directly on new hardware it will replicated the DB from the publisher.<br><br>regards,<br><br>Abebe<br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 2:26 PM, Alice Borgo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bertacco.alessandro@alice.it" target="_blank">bertacco.alessandro@alice.it</a>></span> wrote:<br>
