Intalling CUCM on UCS-C200M2-VCD

     HI Everyone
     I have a new office that we just purchaed and they want to install an additional CM Subcriber onsite.
     I'm familiar with doing installs on the MCS series where you just pop in the DVD and your off and running
     but now they want go virtual and I've never done a virtual install before and I wanted to know if someone can
     point me in the right direction of how to get the software on the server because I do know that you can't install
     it directly on the box.Thanks for any help in advance and as always have a great day.

Have you read this:

Replacement for UCS-C200M2-VCD2 ??

I am working on a redundant Unified solution based on CUCM BE6000, we are using CMBE6K-UWL bundle which includes its server, but when we need to choose for redundant server , all documentation we have read recommends UCS-C200M2-VCD2 server as option.
But this UCS-C200M2-VCD2 server has EOL/EOS announcement:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/voicesw/ps6790/ps5748/ps378/end_of_life_notice_c51-701928.html
We are trying to find a proper option for our redundant server, so we would like to know if any of you would know which server will replace this model??
Thanks in advanced.

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.

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

CIsco UCS-C200M2 with Unified Communication Products

Hi,
If anybody knows what are the Unified Communication products we can install on Cisco UCS solution with EXS VMware ESXi 4.0 Standard Edition.
If any other products pls let me know that alo.
Thanks in Advance.

Yes, the DocWiki covers this on the Supported Applications page. It is worth mentioning that only there are specific hardware component requirements of the C200M2 for VTG support.
Please rate useful responses.

PXE Errors - new install of CUCM on UCS C series servers

Hi All
I'm in a middle of production install of CUCM , CUWL and IM and Presence on Cisco UCS Servers C220 and C240.
Until last friday I borught the CUCM cluster along with CUWL server online and lastly just completed the install of IM and Presence PUB left home.
Then tried logging on Sunday from home via vSphere client unable to connect to these boxes and the webURL's either of apps didn't work.
I presumed something and then tried to gain access via CIMC port and after launching KVM console I see the attached PXE errors.?
I'm not sure why this happend all of a sudden nothing changed in the boot order nor in the network.
Please send me into right direction....this structure I had up and running from last one week and phones registered too.
Thanks
Mohammed

Never mind I figured it out myself and you'll surpised how fragile the UCS C series servers are as I was running them on single power supply and the inside hardware was acting weird for this purpose and once I connected the second power supply and rebooted the server the vmware loads and everything is back online.
How strange this issue was ...
Thanks

Migration of CUCM on UCS C series to UCS B series.

Planning a move from UCS rack servers to newer blades. I was wondering what the Cisco recommended method would be. I see allot of people saying that you should vMotion things over but also that there are allot of caveats with it. I have also heard some people recommend Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment but I can't quite figure out how that would work. So I thought I would ask the community for it's opinion on the subject.
CUCM is on version 10.5, nothing will be patched or upgraded in the move just the guest OS will be moved over. Also, these platforms do not share storage, the C series have the guest stored local and the B series will have a SAN.

Yup, there it is in black and white, thanks.
By chance you wouldn't have a link to the proper method for moving a cluster do you? I know you move the pub first then the subs but I can't find a page that details the process.

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.)

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:
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Security Guide, Release 8.5(1)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/voice_ip_comm/cucm/security/8_5_1/secugd/sec-851-cm.html
The tokens are the same for any platform, they're not even used in the server.

Ucs 200 datastore setup

I have a UCS c200m2 with 4 1 tb drives.. Is there any docs thatshow how to setup the datastores. I hate to put esx-i on a 1 terab drive that would eat up two of my drives.
I have talked to peers and as far a UC running on UCS no one has any good docs or best practices on how to setup datastores on a ucs.
I know that a cucm 8.5 with under a 1000 users needs 1x80gb and I core so do I just setup the 3rd and 4th as a raid 0 and use it for CUCM and UNity? or do I install cucm on the same datastore as esx-i?
Hope this all makes sense any help would be appreciated.
Regards

Thanksfor the documnet. I was hoping for alittle more specific.. I can see on the WIKI how to setup the UC products but I don't see any docs on best practices surrounding the disks and disk setup.
In a normal ESX-i world I setup 30gig for esxi. raid "1" for redundency, the I create datastores based on number of drives etc, so my point is I can find docs around vmware best practices on how to setup the drives.. With UCS more so with the "c" models that are more likely right now to support UC products there are no real docs stating how to setup the drives. The wiki is great but still falls short in best practices around storage.
Thanks you did give me good reading

Hi guys,
This error is related to a know bugID "CSCtn46780" CUCM Cluster Overview shows component mismatch after migration to VMWare
Symptom:
After migrating from CUCM on MCS to CUCM on UCS (VMWare) then adding a subscriber, if a Cluster Overview Report is run it will show mismatch of components between the Pub and Sub.
Workaround:
The componentversion records for a provisioned server can be deleted and repopulated with the following procedure. 1) Delete the componentversion records for a specific server (the server that was migrated and restored from different hardware). Execute following from admin cli. a. run sql DELETE FROM componentversion WHERE fkprocessnode IN (SELECT pkid FROM processnode WHERE name='') 2) Repopulate the componentversion records by restarting Cisco Database Layer Monitor service from admin cli. a. utils service restart Cisco Database Layer Monitor The new componentversion records should only be pertinent to the new hardware.

Is UCCX 8.5(1) compatable with CUCM 8.6

I just checked the Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (Cisco Unified CCX) Software and Hardware Compatibility Guide and CUCM 8.6 is not listed yet.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/crs/express_compatibility/matrix/crscomtx.pdf
CUCM 8.6 addresses quite a few bugs specific to running CUCM on UCS was recommended to me by TAC.
If its not compatible yet, is there a timeframe when the compatibility guide will be updated to reflect CUCM 8.6 ?
Will it be with the upcoming SU2 for UCCX 8.5(1) ?
Thanks

Bvanbenschoten,
CUCM is not listed currently on the internal guides even for SU2. It is possible this may get updated, but it will be a while before we know this. CUCM certification generally lags the release of the product if for no other reason then it is such a quickly released product. If you would like, you can post this question back in about 2 months and hopefully we'll have some news. If I see something before then, I'll certainly let you know too.

UCS C200 M2 Servers Behind Firewall ASA

Hi,
We have a requirements that a customer will deploy two UCS C200M2 servers and I need to know what is the best practice and the recommendation for putting a UCS server behind a firewall (ASA5545) or outside the firewall( bypass FW).
Please advise.
Thanks,
Amr Sherif

This something need to be discussed with the customer
Ucs will be the server side and it's up to the requirements and security policy this server has to be places inside, outside or in the DMZ of a firewall
