<p class="MsoNormal">Howdy. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking at the UC Virtualization requirements on the Cisco Site (<a href="http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements">http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements</a>) and specifically
investigating ESXi 5.5. I see references to ESXi 5.5, however it is not listed specifically within the table labeled as “<span class="mw-headline"><span lang="EN">VMware vSphere ESXi Version Support for Call Processing and System Management Applications</span></span><span lang="EN">”.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" width="651" height="105" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01CEEFFD.549C3210"><span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">I would assume this means that it is currently not supported, however the table is sized properly for an additional column which in my mind would say “VMware vSphere ESXi 5.5” which leads me to believe that it is coming
soon, just like all the documentation appearing for CM 10.x leads me to believe we should have downloadable media “soon”.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">Can anyone here who might know a little more comment on this? I am smack in the middle of a project upgrading our UC environment from 6.x and 7.x to 9.x and would like to make sure that I am moving to the latest supported
versions the whole way through. I would rather push off a week and go directly to 5.5 opposed to going through a maintenance window to upgrade hosts a week after deployment. We currently only have Call Manager, Unity (soon to be Connections) and Emergency
Responder, which for the individual Virtualization pages each list full support for 4.0, 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
