CUCM 12.5 on third party ESXi with version 6.7

[Andreas Wittemann]

Hi guys,

our before used BE6K UCS-Servers will definitely run out of service in november 2020, so no service contract possible anymore after this date.

We plan to move our 4 UC-VMs which are CUCM Publisher/Subscriber and IM&P 1&2 (all at the moment on version 10.5, on ESXi 5.1) to our existing ESXi-servers, which have lots of space since quite a bunch of VMs moved to the cloud recently. My problem now, these run already ESXi 6.7, because they are quite up to date. I couldn´t easily figure out IF 12.5 is supported by ESXi 6.7, i always see 6.5 mentioned.

For sure we don´t want to end up with an unsupported system, but due to the vast free space and resources on our existing ESXi-servers also not to buy new UCS-servers, just because Cisco ends service for the old ones.

Simple question:

CUCM/CUPS on 12.5 (after the upgrade from 10.5, AFTER we moved the VMs) possible on ESXi 6.7?

Is someone running this constellation already?

Many thanks in advance,

Andreas
