Settings On VMWare Server for CUCM Installation

Hi All,

This blogging thing catching on to me.

Anyway, I thought I share with you on some questions pondering people's mind on what VMWare Server settings are required for CUCM / CallManager 7.x installation, as a matter fact it worked for all version of CCM 6 as well.

The normal setting is as following:

1. Type of OS - Typical / Linux / Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
2. Network Set @ Host Only
3. Memory - 1024GB or more the merrier
4. Hard Disk - 72GB. Do not allocate all the space now. SCSI is OK!!!!! Why anyone bothers to change this to IDE GOD Knows.
5. Single Processor works well.

In case you are not aware CUCM 7.x does not install on AMD Processors. It is really troublesome for someone like me and Cisco comes out with a patch on this soon.
Alternative there are solutions to overcome this but frankyly I will wait till they release a version that's compatible with AMD processors.
