CUAC 10.5.1 Physical to VM migration

vijit kumawat · ‎04-27-2017

Has anyone used Vmware P2V converter ?

I planning to migrate CUAC 10.5.1 from a physical box to a VM, wanted to confirm if there are any risk in using vmware P2V converter to migrate CUAC.

Please let me know if it is safe.

Thanks in advance

Hi Vijit,

As per the following link

http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/virtualization/virtualization-software-requirements.html#converter

VMware vCenter Converter

P2V tools are not supported. To migrate from bare-metal servers (e.g. Cisco 7800 Series Media Convergence Server) to UC on UCS, the supported procedure is:

upgrade to 8.x software version on the bare-metal server
take a software backup
fresh install 8.x software on VMware / UC on UCS
restore from backup

Attendant Console you would be fine. You will have to rehost the license. I've done this before. Its not technically supported but its not a big deal and you can always go back to using the physical if something does happen.
