<div dir="ltr"><div>Nick,</div><div><br></div>It's actually pretty common, when doing upgrades, that minimum RAM requirements go up, and you have to increase the allocated RAM and reservation.<div><br></div><div>Example:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Virtualization_for_Cisco_Unified_Communications_Manager_(CUCM)#Version_10.x">CUCM 10x 2,500 OVA requires 4GB RAM</a></div><div><a href="http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Virtualization_for_Cisco_Unified_Communications_Manager_(CUCM)#Version_11.x">CUCM 11x 2,500 OVA requires 6GB RAM</a></div><div><br></div><div>Therefore, an upgrade on a 2,500 OVA from 10x to 11x causes a RAM increase</div><div><br></div><div>And it's stated as having changed in the <a href="http://www.cisco.com/web/software/283088407/126036/cucm-11.0.ova.readme.txt">OVA for v11x Read Me</a></div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0);word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap">The following are changes from the OVA in the previous (CUCM 10.x) release:</pre></div><div><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0);word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap"> 1) vRAM size has been increased by 2GB for 11.0(1) and above releases.</pre></div></blockquote><div>The procedure is also thinly covered in the OVA Read Me as well:</div><blockquote style="margin:0 0 0 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0);word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap">Upgrades from previous release:</pre></div><div><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0);word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap"> 1) Power off the VM.</pre></div><div><pre style="color:rgb(0,0,0);word-wrap:break-word;white-space:pre-wrap"> 2) <span style="background-color:rgb(255,242,204)">Modify the vRAM</span>, CPU, <span style="background-color:rgb(255,242,204)">reservations</span>,and OS based on the changes listed above via the vmware-viclient.

Mostly...</div><div><br></div><div>Because, a negative issue I've seen come of this, is a UCCX system where it was originally deployed for 100 Agents, and someone increased the RAM, and then the system started complaining that it was a 300 Agent system with insufficient resources (everything except RAM). The system was working fine, mind you, it was just the annoying warning banner in AppAdmin. So, get the warning to go away, that person just dropped the RAM back down to the original value.<br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 10, 2016 at 8:35 AM, Barnett, Nick <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Nick.Barnett@countryfinancial.com" target="_blank">Nick.Barnett@countryfinancial.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Are there any negative issues that arise from increasing the RAM on a CUCM 10.0 or CUC 10.5 VM? I haven’t ever seen anyone talk about it. I assume that is because there is typically an underlying issue that should be resolved rather than
just increasing RAM. Does anyone have any input on this?<u></u><u></u></p>
