CUC10.5 on VMware Fusion Pro 7 + Macbook Pro

Hello, I am trying to install Cisco Unity Connection 10.5.2 on VMware Fusion Pro 7 on my MBP. I read many posts before I decided to put my question here and I tried many tips, but I hope someone can solve my issue.
I installed 30-days version of Fusion, created new VM and tried to install CUC 10.5. The message I always get is
"Product not supported on current hardware : Cisco Unity Connection"
I tried many configurations. Firstly, I used:
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Virtualization_for_Cisco_Unity_Connection (to specify hardware requirements according to the manual)
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/10x/supported_platforms/10xcucspl.html
My configuration was:
1 x vCPU (in Fusion it's rather number of cores - 1 core in my case),
4 GB vRAM,
160 GB vHDD (pre-allocated, Bus type: "SCSI"),
1 x vNIC set as NAT (later tried with "Bridged" and "Host Only"). 
Every time I got the same result (see picture above). After hardware check (the initial step during installation) the installer says CUC is not supported on this HW.
I found someone succeeded with CUC 8 on Fusion: http://www.ccietalk.com/2010/11/21/installing-cisco-unity-connection-8-on-vmware-fusion
According to this I expanded my resources. Result was the same. My best configuration was 8 processor cores, 6 GB vRAM, 300 GB vHDD pre-allocated. (see files attached to this post)
Important fact - I installed Cisco Unified Communications Manager (the available product) on my hardware (with worse settings than I listed above).
Important fact - I installed Cisco Unified Communications Manager on Windows 8.1 using VMware Workstation 11. I am having the same problem trying to install Cisco Unity Connection on this W8.1 PC.
Both products are from the same .iso file.
Does anyone have a solution how to install it? I really need to sort it out...
Note - my spec: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013), 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, 500 GB SSD, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, VMware Fusion Pro 7.1.0

Someone has 10.6 running in Parallels, not Fusion under 10.7/10.8

  • VMWare Fusion on a MacBook Air?

    Does anyone know whether I will be able to use VMWare Fusion on a MacBook Air? 
    I am already using it on a MacBook Pro with great success but when I mentioned that I was going to change to an Air I was told that it wasn't possible.

    It works just fine on the MBair.  I'm running 3.1.3 but version 4 is out and has the best compatibility with Lion.

  • VMware Fusion v4 on MacBook Pro 17 vs. MacBook Air

    Hello everybody,
    I have a problem with my early 2011 MacBook Pro 17'' when running VMware Fusion v4 Trial - both the VM as well as my MBP are running annoyingly slow when I start up a VM. Switching from the VM to a Mac app takes what seems an eternity. When setting up an OS in the VM, the Mac becomes almost unresponsive. This applies to VMs running Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OS Lion.
    I just can't believe that the MBP is not powerful enough to operate on Lion OS while running a VM at the same time. I have experimented giving the VM 1,5GB RAM and 2GB RAM - doesn't make a difference.
    VWware slows my Mac down so much that both the Mac and the VM become unusable.
    Same thing happened when I installed the Parallels 7 Trial.
    I don't believe that the Mac has any hardware issue - it performs satisfyingly and is as fast as you'd expect from a current model, when not running any virtualization app.
    And here comes the real catch now: on my mid 2011 MacBook Air - which has a slightly slower CPU - VMware is blazingly fast and I can use Mac OS in parallel without hardly noticing that the VM is running.
    Yes, I am aware that because of the SSD the overall impression makes the MBA probably appear a lot snappier, but then again it has only 2 cores as opposed to the MBP's 4 cores. However, I had absolutely no issues running VMware Fusion v3 when I was still on Snow Leopard with my MBP17.
    So the machine can't be the problem, it was running fine before Lion with VM application, but the VM software is doing fine on a MBA, so the only two explanations left that I have are: the combination must be the problem (MBP17 + VM) or the MBP17 has some funny setting that I am not aware of which slows it down that much.
    Does anyone experience similar problems?
    Any solution for performance issues that anyone is aware of?
    Help greatly appreciated

    Thanks a lot! Tried what you suggested and it actually seemed to improve VMware Fusion v4 in the beginning but I soon ended up with an estimated 30% of the performance for both the VM and the Mac.
    Finally I tought - hey, the whole system (physical hardware and the VM) always becomes slow when there's acutal disk access... so I checked the disk in Disk Utility - and there it was: it needed repair. So I rebooted from an install disk and repaired my MacIntosh Hard Disk and there you go: MUCH better.
    Switched from VMware Fusion to Paralles in the end because VMware had issues with IE in the VM and seemed slower.
    Problem solved

  • How do I activate Windows 8 using vmware fusion on my MacBook Pro?

    I have a MacBook pro and there are a few Windows programs that I need to run. So I purchased VMWARE Fusion 5 and Windows 8 pro. I installed both with no issues except now I'm being prompted to activate windows. When I go to activate it with the product key, it says that the product key is only able to be used for upgrading, but not a clean install. I'm not sure what I need to do now. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Yes as with Windows 7 if you used a Upgrade Win 7 disc it won't WANT To Activate and to get around it you do another install of Win 7 over the top of the original Win 7 install and it make it look like you are Upgrading and allows you to use an Upgrade key.
    MS really screwed up with Win 8. There really isn't any FULL VERSION Windows 8 install DVDs. They are all Upgrade DVDs no matter how much you pay for it. So to do a Clean install, on real hardware or in a Virtual Machine, you have to jump through some hoops.

  • How Do I Find VMWare Fusion on my Macbook Air

    I recently bought a Macbook Air that is supposed to have VMWare Fusion installed on it. Windows XP is installed on the partitioned drive. Where do I go to open VWWare Fusion? I don't find it anywhere on the computer. Thank you.

    Hi and welcome to Discussions,
    if Fusion is already installed on your MBA, then you should find it in the Applications Folder.
    If not, look for the Fusion installation CD and install Fusion from it.
    Are you sure you have bought a Fusion license together with your MBA ?
    Apple hasn't offered such bundle in the past, so it should be an offer from the store where you bought the MBA.
    If in doubt ask them where Fusion is.
    Regards

  • VMWare Fusion on MacBook Pro using Leopard OS

    After installing VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Pro with Leapord, it does
    not want to mount my external USB hard drives. Fusion sees the drive
    and shows me that it is connected with the option to disconnect the
    drive, but it doesn't show up on "My Computer". I have seen it show
    up briefly, sometimes just after I reinstall Fusion tools, but then it
    disappears usually within a couple of minutes. The USB drive is
    formatted Mac OS extended and I have MacDrive 7 on Fusion to recognize
    Mac formatted drives.

    "If you boot natively, you need MacDrive. But Fusion has trouble with accessing other drives connected (I have four)."
    Yes, it seems very inconsistent, mounting one time then not the other. I just created a shared folder to my external USB drive in Fusion and access it that way. It's better since it doesn't
    constantly mount and dismount from the Mac OS and give those "your drive was not ejected properly" messages. I've given up with trying to get fusion to mount my external USB drives. Parallels does it much better but I find Parallels so slow compared to Fusion that I
    don't even bother with Par anymore.
    "Did you install a BootCamp partition and then let Fusion take over? and do you have Fusion 1.1?"
    Yes, I am using Fusion 1.1. I never did the BootCamp thing because I really need to work back and forth with my Mac and PC documents - can't' afford to reboot each time.
    Have you done the BootCamp partition and Fusion take over? I am not really familiar with Boot Camp. Is it worth it? Can you swap files across OS's with Fusion and BootCamp?
    Thanks for the quick reply.

  • Experiences with Oracle 10g/11g RAC on VMWare Fusion for Macbook and OEL 5

    Folks,
    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro laptop computer to use for demos and testing with Oracle RAC. I am using VMWare Fusion for Mac OS X to setup new VM machines with Oracle 11g.
    Thus far, I can setup single instance Oracle 11g database fine with OEL 5 (32 bit OS) as the guest OS. The problem that I keep running into due to the limitation with VMWare Fusion product is that I am not able to edit the VMWare network settings to allow multiple VM machines to communicate with each other. The second main issue that I currently face is that VMWare Fusion does not allow you to setup shared disks which are a requirement to install and configure an Oracle RAC environment. I came to the realization that after searching forums online that
    one must setup a third VM machine to act as an NFS or iSCSI filer system to present to the other VM hosts for the shared storage requirement for RAC. Has anyone been able to do all
    of this successfully with VMWare Fusion on a Macbook ? If so, I would definitely be interested in finding out how you did this. Specifically the following:
    1. Network configuration for each VMWare Fusion guest OS machine
    2. Shared storage ie) NFS or OpenFiler VM machine
    Regards,
    Ben

    Hi,
    I'm facing the same issue.. If your issue is fixed..could you please let me know?
    I'm trying to configure 11g RAC with OPenfiler and got stuck here.

  • VMware Fusion Issue

    Hello,
    I have recently installed VMware Fusion onto my MacBook Pro running Leopard.
    Install Process was very easy and simple. Once i installed VMware i then proceeded to install Windows XP Pro, then Norton 360, ran updates to windows, then installed Office 2003, ran updates etc..
    All of this went very well and easily. However i have two issues.
    1) USB issues
    Fusion does see a USB 4GB Memory stick inserted into the Mac, however the Windows session does not mount the USB stick so i can access the files Any ideas why?
    2) Need to increase the Virtual disk size on the VMware Fusion Windows XP session
    I only configured 20GB of space (did not allocate all at once), however i need to increase the size of this virtual disk as 20GB will not be enough once i load all my work data into the Virtual session. Any ideas on how you increase the Virtual disk size or migrate this Virtual session into another Virtual session with a larger drive size?
    Thanks
    John

    Since Fusion is not an Apple product, you should post your question on the VMWare community forums:

  • How can i use the webcam in the VMware fusion?

    I am using Windows XP with VMware fusion in my MacBook( OS X 10.5.1). Everything is good except the webcam. I have no idea how can I use the webcam(built in MacBook). Can someone give me more information about that? Thanks a lot!

    Not sure I quite understood your question? However, I am running Win XP in VMWare Fusion an all the peripherals such as Bluetooth, IR Receiver and the webcam are identified as USB device and are therefore supported. No problem to use it with Messenger, Skype or Trillian. The only thing you have to do is to click on one of the small USB symbols in the lower right corner of the VMWare status line in order to enable it for the use in VMWare. That's it.
    Hope this helps to fix your problem

  • VMware Fusion 6 (v 6.0.2), 15" MacBook Pro Retina (late-2013), and Windows 8.1

    Does anyone the best recommended settings for the items listed in the subject line?  Resolution looks so small.  I installed Windows 8.1 Pro on my late-2013 15" MacBook Pro (MBP) via VMware's Fusion 6 (version 6.0.2).
    Thanks.

    If you used VMware Fusion to install Windows, first make sure you have installed VMware Tools in Windows. Read > http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=display KC&externalId=1003417
    Then, you will be able to change the Windows resolution as usual. In Windows, right-click in the desktop and select "Screen resolution". There are other ways to do this > http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/get-best-display-monitor.
    There are not best recommended settings because it depends on the hardware of your computer: for example, if you have got 8 GB of RAM, you can assign 4 GB of RAM to the virtual machine (depending on the applications you use), or if you have got a Quad-Core processor with Hyper-Threading, you can assign more processor threads to the virtual machine so you can improve performance.

  • HT2431 How can I best run old CDs written for Mac OS 9 (Classic)on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.7 with VMware Fusion

    I have some old CDs of medical drawings and other references that were written for Mac OS 9 (Classic). These are still excellent resources but I now  have a MacBook Pro with OS 10.7. I also am running VMware Fusion.  How best can I run these programs?

    MacBook Pros & OS X Lion don't support classic operation.
    Suggest you buy an older Mac that will run OS 9 or run in classic mode while booted into OS X Tiger or below.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Help - VMWare Fusion, Macbook Pro, Vista, Graphics Cards & Games

    Help, please ... We just purchased a new MacBook Pro with an NVida 8600M graphics card. The operating system is up-to-date.
    I installed the latest version ov VMWare Fusion. Then installed Windows Vista Basic, and it is up-to-date with Service Patch 1. All the basic Vista services appear to work as it would on a PC.
    Next, I installed the game Sims 2. When I try to run the game, I get an error message that says:
    "... did not detect a hardware capable of running DirectX 9.0 ..."
    I checked NVida and the 8600M is capable of running DirectX 10.0.
    Does anyone have any idea on how I can get this game to work????
    Thanks

    VMware is software emulation and at this point cannot use your graphics card. You need to install Vista using bootcamp and run it through there to have access to the graphics card. remember to install the boot camp files and all drivers after you install Vista
