BE6K pre-configured option gone in 11.5?

[michael mack]

Just got a new BE6K-S preloaded with 11.5 applications.  In all previous BE6K-S systems, there's been a pre-configured setup already installed on the applications.  All you really had to do was turn the VMs on, and with very little configuration work, you had a basic setup.

With the 11.5 one we just received, though, the only option was to begin the install from scratch.  Did they do away with the pre-configured options?

Its not a huge deal, honestly there was a lot about the pre-configured stuff I didn't much care for anyways.  Just surprising that its gone.

Hi Michael,

You are most correct my friend;

This guide is intended to be used by Cisco partners who are planning to install a Cisco Business Edition 6000S Unified Communications appliance. This guide contains the tasks that you must complete to install the software.

The following table outlines the ordering and deployment options that are available. Choose the option that matches your requirements.

Deployment Option	Use this guide?
Config To Order	If you ordered your server via the Config To Order Portal (CTOP), your server arrives with core UC applications pre-installed. Use this guide to install and configure additional UC applications, if required.
Customized	Manually install the appliance to your custom requirements.

Note	The Pre-configured option is not available for BE 6000 version 11.5 and later.
