CUCMBE 6000

[shahidzafar1977.ccie]

Dear Community,

Can you please help me to understand that if i want to use CUCMBE and UNITY in same box what are the basic requirements for this setup in production network. Is it possible or i have to use 2 device or 2 VM instance for this configuration.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

With or without CUCMBE you can run Cisco UC on VMware, and host multiple servers on a single physical host. I.e. you can use the 'full' or standalone products...

See this for guidelines: http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_in_a_Virtualized_Environment

There's lot to read and consider, but basically each server comes in predefined 'sizes' of CPU/memory etc, and you cannot oversubscribe the physical platform's capabilities in terms of disk/memory/CPU. Best to consult your Cisco partner if you are not sure; if you are doing this for a lab or your own education with the products then you'll generally want to break all the rules for cost reasons. In production you would not.

In addition to what Aaron has said,u need to have

For Unity Connection VM one CPU core must be idle/unused (it is actually being used by ESXi scheduler).
