Hi all,
I am running into a problem when instaling CUCM 11.5.1 as every time that I create the VM and include the ISO file, I can include all installation details, but as soon as the installation starts I am getting a message saying "Error processing drive. device may need to reinitialize. Reinitialize will cause all data to be lost. This action may be applied to all other disks needing re-initialization."
In my scenario we are building VMs and installing CUCM automatically using vRO as our orchestration tool, however with this issue we can't install the CUCM automatically and it requires for a person to manually go into the VM and selete the option to re-initialize all the disks manually.
Surprisingly, this issue doesn't happen if I build the VM using the OVA provided by Cisco, hence I would like to understand if there is any customization that is being done within the OVA, so that we can replicate this with vRO during the process of the automatic creation of VMs that we have designed.

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for your answer. However, I would still like to understand what is being done with the disks when using the OVA so that it works when we are doing automated deployments.
As far as I understand, if we respect the values that Cisco are providing in terms of HW that is needed for a certain VM to work, we should be able to build the VMs by our own without depending on external files such as OVAs and the system would still be supported.
