Hi,

X7.1 is released!

Please read the release notes before uprading!

http://ftp.tandberg.com/pub/software/vcs/x7/Cisco_VCS_Release_Note_X7-1.pdf

Extract of the new features of X7.1:

X7.1

TMS Provisioning Extension support

VCS X7.1 supports the Provisioning Extension mode introduced into Cisco TMS v13.2.

In X7.0 and earlier, the provisioning, FindMe and phonebook services on the VCS were provided by the legacy TMS Agent module. From X7.1, the new Provisioning Extension services mechanism supports large-scale deployments and provides a more flexible upgrade path for both VCS and Cisco TMS.

You are recommended to switch from using the TMS Agent legacy mode to the new Provisioning Extension mode as soon as is practicable.

Call processing

* Improved interworking between VCS and Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM). VCS now always stays in the call signaling route for calls to neighbor zones that are configured with the Cisco Unified Communications Manager or the Infrastructure device zone profiles.

Virtual appliance support

* The VCS can run on VMware on Cisco UCS C200 M2, UCS C210 M2, or UCS B200 M2 servers. Other enhancements and usability improvements

  • *  Improved status reporting of NTP server synchronization.

  • *  The lower and upper source ports in the range used for sending DNS queries can now be

    configured on the DNS page.

  • *  Automatically uploaded CRL files are now included when checking the validity of client certificates on the Client certificate testing page.

  • *  System snapshot:

    • The snapshot process now runs in the background. This means you can navigate away from

      the snapshot page and return to it later to download the generated snapshot file.

    • Snapshot filenames are distinct for each type of snapshot.

  • *  Default incident reporting server is now https://cc-reports.cisco.com/submitapplicationerror/

  • *  The VCS Starter Pack Express supports device provisioning for MX200 endpoints.

  • *  An optional free-form description of a B2BUA transcoder can be specified.

  • *  Alarms status page now shows when an alarm was first raised.

  • *  The VCS web interface now supports Internet Explorer 7, 8 or 9, Firefox 3 or later, or Chrome. Later versions of these browsers may also work, but are not officially supported.

Hi Dante,

I downloaded the OVA file and I put in Vmware Workstation

Note that it is only for testing purposes not for production enviroment because Cisco doesn't support this solution.

In some servers you have to enable in BIOS setup to use x64 in Virtual Machines: VT enable/disable in the BIOS.

Regards.
