CUCM & Exchange on UCS

Hi,
Apologies for noob question but is it possible to run CUCM & MS Exchange on the same UCS C server? Is there a sizing tool that will help me spec this?
Rich

CUCM is such a business critical application, that as far as I remember, will not tolerate any sharing of other applications, specially not MS Exchange !

CUCM encryption on UCS

Hi everyone:
I need to order a migration of CUCM from 6.x to 8.x, and my customer wants encription in that new CUCM using UCS. I not sure what items I must purchase.
CUCM migation Licences (CUCM-USR-LIC )
UCS (UCS-C210M2-VCD2)
VM ware license (VMW-UC-STD-K9-1A)
Tokens (KEY-CCM-ADMIN-K9=), at least two.
My questiona are:
Is the encryption supperted UC on UCS?????
Is the last part number (KEY-CCM-ADMIN-K9=) valid for UCS platform??????
Is KEY-CCM-ADMIN-K9= only valid in MCS infraestructure????
Francisco Arias Reyes

As long as you have a restricted version you can have encryption.
All the details are here:

The tokens are the same for any platform, they're not even used in the server.

PRIME Infrastructure OVA co-residency with CUCM on UCS

Hallo All.
Has anyone installed the PRIME Infrastructure OVA alongside CUCM on a UCS?
I've been looking at this document
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization_Sizing_Guidelines but it is vague on PRIME Infra.
Also, the CUCM I am installing alongside is v8.5
Any thoughts?
Cheers
David

The PI documentation is lagging a bit - the only requirements for the current release are what's in the Quick Start Guide here.
There is no requirement for dedicated cores. As long as your VM meets the hardware specification of the QSG, your installation should be OK. (Of course, it doesn't hurt to provide more than the minimum requirements.)

If you want/expect a link that covers whether a particular app is supported on UCS, there isn't one. You won't find a doc explaining on which scenarios Exchange will work and how to size, etc.
We provide guidelines for ALL the 3rd party apps, only special case which has particular considerations is the 6K as which set of applications can be deployed is limited.

No users are being migrated to the Unified Contact Store (UCS) for Lync 2013 - Exchange 2013

I'm having difficulty getting the unified contact store to work on a migrated Lync/Exchange environment. Both servers have been upgraded to 2013 CU2, and almost everything appears to be working properly...except UCS.
By default the global CsUserServicesPolicy has UcsAllowed set to True. In that mode, none of the Lync users were being migrated to UCS, so I set the global policy to False and created a new Policy called "AllowUCS" and set UcsAllowed to True. I then
assigned that policy to myself and a couple other test accounts. Still, my contacts are not being migrated to the UCS after logging in with Lync 2013.
Other Lync/Exchange integration features are working properly. I have set up OAuth, and it tests successfully, and Lync integration with OWA is working successfully, so I know at least some communication is happening properly between the servers.
Here is what I'm getting when I run some diagnostics from the Lync server:

Anyone know what I am missing?

Hi,
Please make sure the user has been provisioned with an Exchange 2013 mailbox and has signed into the mailbox at least once.
If the user logs in with a Lync 2010 or earlier client, or if the user is not connected to an Exchange 2013 server, the user services policy is ignored and the user's contacts remain in Lync Server.
Please also check the registry key on the client computer:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\<SIP URL>\UCS
If the user's contacts are stored in Exchange 2013, this key contains a value of InUCSMode with a value of 2165.

Exchange 2013 SP1 and CUCM 9.1.2 - Exch not recognizing called extension

I think I'm almost there in getting Exchange 2013 SP1 UM working with CUCM 9.1.2...I've got two issues at the moment that I need a little help with.
1) When I dial my VM pilot (6040) from a UM enabled extension it prompts to enter an extension. When I dial the same extension and let it ring to VM, Exchange picks up and says "the person you are trying to reach does not have a valid voice mail box
on our system".
2) This just started happening this afternoon, when I dial my VM pilot (6040) exch3 picks up as thats what I have my route pattern pointing to. If I enter the extension of a mailbox on exch2, I get stuck in a endless loop.
I've followed this post as a guide but it hasn't resolved my issue.
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11914031/exchange-2013-um-and-cucm-86
My Exchange environment looks like this:
Site 1:
exch1 - CAS/Mailbox, used for mainly utility type work, journal, dedicated SMTP flows etc
exch2 - CAS/Mailbox, part DAG13
exch3 - CAS/Mailbox, part of DAG13
Site 2:
exch2dr - CAS/Mailbox, part of DAG13
exch3dr - CAS/Mailbox, part of DAG13
DAG13 is stretched between two sites, there are no users at our DR site so CUCM is pointing to Site 1 for UM. Each site has an internet facing CAS-only server for OWA/EAS etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'd love to get rid of Unity.
EDIT:
I just found this event in the event logs:
The Microsoft Exchange Unified Messaging service on the Mailbox server received a diverted call with ID "d51600-3a3140c5-9b8-c1414ac@EXCH3-IPADDR" for extension "4099" on UM dial plan "CUCM" from UM IP gateway "CUCM IP",
but no UM-enabled mailbox for the corresponding extension could be found. Please check the extension and make sure that the corresponding mailbox is enabled for UM and associated with the correct UM dial plan.

9.1.2 I think it is, we upgraded to avoid the known DNS bug
I cant see how to PM you either
The crux of it was outlined below with some tweaks
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2014/04/30/step-by-step-integration-between-exchange-2013-um-and-cisco-unified-communication-manager.aspx
As we have multiple combined role servers, our trunks are set up as follows:
1. 1 x CAS Trunk - contains all CAS Servers on port 5060
2. 4 x MBX Trunks - contains Maibox Server with ports 5062-5068
On top of that, we had to Allow "Redirecting Diversion Header Delivery - Inbound (and Outbound)" on the CAS Trunk but DISABLE it on the Mailbox Trunks
Also, make sure that you are using Telephone Extension Dial plans in Exchange 2013 (Despite them being unable to be associated with a 13 Server - EX13 answers for all calls anyway)
Lastly, the MS documentation is a little strange - it says that as your last step of UM migration, you should point your Call Manager to 2013 - I don't agree with that statement, EX13 routes calls back to 2010 UM Servers perfectly fine, so treat it the same
as any other CAS based service - point to 2013, and it will handle the rest

Maintenance contracts required for CUCM on UCS

Hello All,
I have a CUCM Ver 8.5 clustrer running on UCS C210M2 server. I would like to know is there is a single maintenance contract I can purchase from Cisco to cover both UCS hardware and CUCM software. Also CUCM is running on top of VMWare ESX server, should I require to get a separate maintenance for VMWare as well ?
Thanks in advance for the reply.
Mohsin

First, let me make sure we're using the same terminology before I answer:
Contract - The contract number that is tied to your CCO user ID and your equipment
Maint Agreement - Your hardware or software coverage.
My understanding is that you cannot put your hardware and software on the same agreement for a number of reasons. But there is no reason that all of your agreements can't be put under the same contract number. Often, hardware and software will be on seperate POs, etc. and will end up under separate contract numbers, making things a pain. I would work with your Cisco rep to see if you can combine all of your agreements under a single contract number. I don't see why it would be an issue. If they can't do this with existing contracts, then in the future I would talk with my rep about ensuring that all future purchases get tied to the same contract number.

Migrate CUCM 8.5 to 10.X from MCS server to UCS

Dear All,
Can you please explain me how can I migrate my current CUCM 8.5 running on MCS server to newly purchase UCS server on CUCM 10.x.

Best option would be to use Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment

CUCM 7.1.2 and Exchange Server 2010

Hi,
I have a cucm 7.1.2 installed and configured and an exchange server 2010 box as mail server on another system.
If I want to send voice mail from Cisco IP phone through the cucm to the exchange server, do I need an external voice mail like Cisco Unity, or the cucm should have everything I need.
Thank you!

Hi -
If you want to use Exchange 2010 as your voicemail system, you need an Exchange server hosting the Unified Messaging server role. Microsoft has specific requirements for using Exchange unified messaging as well as licensing for your voicemail subscribers. Here is a good review - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125141.aspx. Plus there should be an integration document for voicemail functionality, I found the CUCM version 7 integration doc here - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=d5db0297-7850-4f52-b965-b8006b4c05f5&displaylang=en

UCS-CUCM Swicthport configuration

Hi There,
I just wanted to ask for best practice port config on BE6K servers.
The BE6K(UCS) is only hosting CUCM server. The switch port is configured as ether-channels.
Below is the config that I am planning to apply. I am just wondering whether we should apply the qos trust command as well " mls qos trust dscp". No other servers will be running on this UCS.
Config:
interface Port-channel1
description ****** UCS1 ports ******
switchport access vlan 18
switchport mode access
speed 1000
duplex full
spanning-tree portfast
Interface gig 1/0/1
description ****** UCS1 port1 ******
switchport access vlan 18
switchport mode access
speed 1000
duplex full
spanning-tree portfast
Interface gig 1/0/2
description ****** UCS1 port2 ******
switchport access vlan 18
switchport mode access
speed 1000
duplex full
spanning-tree portfast

Hi David,
Yes add the mls qos trust dscp command to set these ports to trust the dscp markings coming from your CUCM server. Also set the trunk links to trust as well to propagate the dscp markings over the network.

Can CUCM 8.5 version be installed on a DL 380 G5 server in Virtual environment (Vmware Esxi 4.0 or 4.1)? Or does it have to be only installed in UCS boxes for VMware?

Can CUCM 8.5 version be installed on a DL 380 G5 server in Virtual environment (Vmware Esxi 4.0 or 4.1)? Or does it have to be only installed in UCS boxes for VMware?
1. If the installation is possible for the Vmware instance on a DL 380 G5/G6 server , will that be supported by Cisco ?
Similary is the case with CUIC 8.5. Has anybody worked on these do suggest ideas.

Virtualized UC applications from Cisco are only supported on the UC on UCS platform using ESXi 4.0, 4.0 Update 1, or 4.1 - hypervisor support may vary based on application.

Update hadrware resources for CUCM in UCS

Hello all,
We have CUCM 8.6 running in UCS.
The ova file used before installing CUCM 8.6 on UCS was for less number of resources ( 1xvCPU, 1x80GB, 4GB RAM ).
I need to increase resources of VM, so instead of 1=vCPU & 1x80GB, 4GB RAM i want 2 vCPU and 2 x 80 GB, 6GBM RAM.
If i increase the number of vCPU, RAM & HD from vSphere Client manually, what is the risk in CUCM database, will it effect or it will be safe ?
Is there any way to upgrade the ova file in running VM instead of building new VM with new OVA file ?
Kindly help.
Regards,

Hello bernhardczapp,
We were upgrading CUCM 8.6 to 10.5 but unfortunately it failed with an error saying there is no disk space available, we opened case wtih cisco & we were advised to perform following tasks to free disk space:
Clear the logs is from RTMT tool, download the old log/traces and delete them from the server with this process:
1)      Login to RTMT
2)      Go to Trace & log central
3)      Select Collect File
4)      Select All service checkbox and All server checkbox, click next.
5)      Select a period of time. Select all the time frame for the logs that you do not need anymore, example from January until July. (Also there is a drop down so you can clear the ones from the inactive partition.)
6)      Select the Delete file Checkbox.
7)      Click finish
We followed procedure & after 8 hours it made 6495 MB space free. Before was 36444MB & after process 29949MB.
Reason i mentioned about new ova file for CUCM 10.5 is that while creating VM i will have option to select 7,500 users (this will give me 2x80GB, 2xvCPU, 1x6GB RAM)
I will try installing your suggested cop files & will update you. Do i need to restart Servers after cop file installation ?
But if you have alternate solution please share.
Kind Regards

Trunking Cisco CUCM 9.0 with UCS 500

In one of our branch offices use Cisco UCS-500 for local IP telephony and PRI. Now we would like to integrate this system to our main offices so that we dial all the 4-digit extensions.
Is it possible to trunk Cisco UCS 500 with CUCM 9.0. ?

Hi
Seems you have codec negotiation problem when you are making calls from UCS to CUCM
. Can you post your UCS config here.
Maybe you have logging buffered enabled on your UCS as a result of which logs are not displayed on screen over telent session.

CUCM - UCS Server Replacement

Hi All,
We have installed CUCM 9.1.2 on UCS 220-M3 server (standby hardware). Now we are going to replace the UCS server.
Has any other vmware method or tool available to migrate the virtual machines one UCS to another UCS ? { VM's are resided in DAS) ?

Technically, Cisco only supports it if using shared storage- http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_VMware_Requirements#VMware_vMotion
But it usually works fine from a technical standpoint. Just might not get support if something goes wrong with the migration.
