Downloading CUCM from one VMware to another VMware

[ysanadiga01]

Hi there,

I installed and configured CUCM 8.5 on Cisco UCS C210 M2. Now we got some issues with our Cisco UCS C210 M2 and I want to move my CUCM 8.5 to the new Cisco UCS C210 M2. I tried to "download" the CUCM 8.5 folder to "local machine" but it's like taking hours and hours. I cancelled the process.

Is there anyother way to move my CUCM 8.5 from one machine to another one?

Thanks.

If it's running as a VM and you have shared storage, you can just vMotion it. Without shared storage you can't just copy the contents of the folder because the files are locked while the VM is running. Shut down the VM first then copy the files over to the other server. Browse the folder on that server, right-click the .vmx file and register the VM.

Hello,

Please refer to following doc for CUCM limitations on host / storage vmotion.
