[kennedymacharia]

I an trying to install this ova file cup_8.6.2_vmv7_v1.1 in vmware 6.0 but when I run it I get an error "missing operating system" is there something else that I should add

Hi,

VMware 6.0 is not supported for this version. Please check the following

http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Virtualization_for_Cisco_Unified_Presence#Version_8.6.282.29

The max esxi version you can go with CUPS 8.6.2 is ESXi 5.0

Are you still getting the same error?

[kennedymacharia]

yes

Are you installing it on ucs or some other server?

If the ISO is already loaded to the VM, simply hit enter.

you mean I should still have an iso image for this I deployed a virtual wireless controller with just an ova file and I thought this was like that . I am trying to set up a lab for CCIE collaboration. I have the cucm set up just missing cups and I dont have the iso image for it. Can I get a trial one from cisco? thank you

OVA just provides the settings for the application that needs to be installed. A bootable ISO is needed for the install. If this is the first time you are trying to create a VM and install a UC application you can refer one of the numerous videos on youtube for UC app install on a VM.

Yeah, for some applications, you should be able to tell a small file like the OVA from CUPS, which is very small, would not be the whole app, just the VM specs.

You can only get bootable images via PUT with a valid sales order.

If you're with a partner, you could buy the NFR kit, but I'm not sure they're selling still one for 8.x

ova file cup_8.6.2_vmv7_v1.1 this one is simply an OVA to create the Virtual Machine and after deploying this, you should be able to see one VM created. After this, you also need a bootable ISO for Presence server as well in your datastore for the installation to go through.
