Running CUCM 6.1.3 and Unity 4.2.1.

Unity is 4.x is running on MCS7835-H1-ECS1 server.

Hi Murthy,

When we first started with UC 7.x during the EFT testing we wanted to use 2 spare 7835-H1 servers that we had in the lab. The Cisco engineers verified that no H1 series servers would be supported for this build. The implication was that only MCS servers listed as supported would install the build properly and that H1 series would not pass the Hardware verification checks that are done during the initial install.

As you can see the H1 is not in the "Supported Platform" list;

Cisco Unity Connection 7.0 Supported Platforms List

Hope this helps!
