Pb to install CUC 8.02 on ESXi (on a PC DELL optiplex 755)

[rahaman.abdoul]

Hi,

I'm really surprised to not be able install Unity connection 8.02 on ESXi 4.0 update 1. I have the message : "product not supported on current hardware : Cisco Unity connection". So it's possible to install CUCM 8.02 and Business Edition version on VMware ESXi 4.0 update 1.

Is it an hardware problem with Host PC : a DELL Optiplex?

What I have to do to be able to install CUC on my ESXi?

Thanks for answers :-)

You may be able to install it, but it would not be supported.  We (Cisco) only currently support CUCM 8.0 on VMWare on specific Cisco UCS platforms.  All other 3rd party equipment is not supported.

I cannot speak to the specifics for Unity, however I would recommend engaging your Cisco SE for further information if you're interested in running Cisco UC applications in virtualization.

Hi Matt,

first of all, thank you for your answer ;-)

I'm ok on the fact that I will not be supported. The problem I have actually is I cannot continue to install : I have only 2 choices. I can only install CUCM or CUCM business ed. So the question is how to get the option to install Unity connection, since I have the message : products not supported on current hardware".

I have attached a screen copy to show you what is exactly the problem.

If you're installing this for a lab, I would encourage you to look at the disk size requirements for Cisco Unity Connection and modify your VM accordingly.

Again, Cisco will not support this install.
