MCS to UCS C240 M4

[ciscovoipsupport]

Hi Guys,

We have a customer production platform running on 8.6 and local internal IT platform running on 8.6. both are running on MCS sever.

We wish to upgrade to BE7k which runs on C240 M4 rack mount servers. But we would like to segrigate IT from Production as we did before. We want to buy/run only one server.

Question: Will i be able to install 2x different instances of CUCM on this one server. Is this supported?

Yes, as long as you have enough resources to do so.

does this mean i need two different CUCM linceses to run two different servers (VMs)?

In fact every CUCM installation comes up with a component called Prime License Manager. You're free to use it or leave it without any configuration.

A Prime License Manager can manage licensing for multiple clusters of CUCM, Unity Connection and CER. (like for your example, one CUCM cluster for production and one other for internal IT)

So, if you don't mind using a single Prime License Manager (for example the Publisher of production cluster) to manage licensing of both your clusters, you're ok.
