Please refer to the system requirements for running CUCM in a virtualized environment:

Hi Harmit,

I have the config and spaces as mentioned in the above links. But Still getting the same error. Is there any other step to fix this issue?

Thanks,

Hi Bala,

The specs you mentioned are not enough:

HDD Size - 40G

Memory - 1 G

Double both of them and it should hopefully go through fine. Refer to the table at the bottom about the memory and disk requirements for different server models just to give you an idea:

Hi Harmit,

Yeha, I have chnaged to 80G for HDD and and 1.5GB for RAM, Still i am getting the same error.

Also for your information that, Same ISO image is working fine on another Virtual machine that is PUB01.

Am trying to install PUB02. I am getting the error in the subject,,

Thanks!!

Hi Bala,

That error normally points to a bad image. Try deleting the VM and creating it again with 80GB HDD and 2GB RAM. Make sure you have enough resources on the machine where you are trying to install this VM.
