I am upgrading a Unity Connection from
Version '7.1.5.33900-10 Unrestricted' to '8.5.1.13900-5 Unrestricted'
It fails with hardware validation (error below)
My hardware is a VM on a C210M2
Memory: 6144
CPU: 2
HD1: 146gb
HD2: 146gb
Do I need a special version of CUC for VM?
Any Help appreciated.

That's weird, my lab config is:
4096 RAM
1 vCPU
160 GB HDD
Which ova are you trying to use?

Exactly which one are you trying to configure??
You don't need special media, it's one and only.
In case you're doing the upgrade with 7.X already on a VM that is not supported, the only supported method is to upgrade on MCS servers up to:
a) the 1st release officially supported on VM, then on VM upgrade to target release.
b) target release if server supports it.
Fresh VM install and then just do a backup from MCS and restore on VM.

I have a MCS that is being used as a subscriber that I can 'borrow' and use as a bridge server.
So am I correct with this procedure
Is this correct ??
10-18-2011 10:56 AM
yes, that would be the supported way to upgrade and move to UCS.

I will do that so and let you know if it works.

Here is the procedure I am following
The problem I have having is installing CUC 8.5.1 onto a VM - I keep getting 'hardware not supported'
I have used OVF/OVA Templates when that didnt work - I upgraded the Processor to 3, Memory to 8gb and Disks to 2 X 146gb.
I still got the same error -
Am I missing something simple here ???

OVA Template is
CUC_1000_user_v1.0_vmv7.ova
So hardware is the same
The Disks I have are -
CUCM 8.5 - CODE 80-9927-02
CUCM 8.5 - CODE 80-9928-01
CUCM 8.5 - CODE 80-9929-01
CUCM 8.5 - CODE 80-9842-02
I also have these
CUCM 8.6.1a - CODE 80-9986-02
CUCM 8.6.1a - CODE 80-9988-02
CUCM 8.6.1a - CODE 80-9989-02
I get options to install CUCM but it says CUC is not available on current hardware ??
what disk are you using ?
10-20-2011 08:42 AM
I am trying the CUC_8.6_vmv7_v1.5.ova Template now (5000 users) - will let you know how it goes
My Hardware is UCS C210M2
10-20-2011 08:46 AM
Same Error again - 80-9928-01- CUCM 8.5 Installation disk.
10-21-2011 01:41 AM
Any ideas why I am getting 'hardware not supported'
10-21-2011 06:51 AM
Any ideas as to why this install is failing

Right - after much testing - found out the solution to this problem.
The Cisco OVA Templates dont work for CUC for certain install disks (well for at least 7 that I tried !)
Tested Disks (with VSXI version 4.1)
CUCM 8.5 - 80-9842-02
CUCM 8.5 - 80-9927-02
CUCM 8.5 - 80-9929-01
CUCM 8.5 - 80-9842-02
CUCM 8.6.1a - 80-9986-02
CUCM 8.6.1a - 80-9988-02
CUCM 8.6.1a - 80-9989-02
You need to load the OVA template and make the following changes -
Memory : 6gb (can be set to 8gb if required)
CPU : 2 (can be set to 3 if required)
Video : 16mb (hard set)
VMCI : Unrestricted (enable checked)
SCSI : LSI Logic Parallel
HD : 200gb - independent persistent
Network : needs to be 'connect at power on'
FD : Client Device 'Connected' but I dont think this setting matters.
Now Cisco Unity Connection appears at as part of the installable product suite.
I think the OVA templates are extremely poor - clearly untested.
eg - its names your VM - ALIGNED_500User-UnityConnection1CPU160GB.ova etc
Anyway - hope this information help other people from wasting a lot of time.
