Does UCCE 8.5 support VM with HP platform "Blade"

[sidris-sid]

my client plan to upgrade to UCCE 8.5 and to replace Cisco MCS Servers with virtual environment but with HP platform for all UCCE servers “ICM,CVP, CUIC 7 CUCM” does Cisco support virtualization with HP blade Server or only UCS servers if yes, its mean that TAC will be also support any issue related to UCCE.

Thanks in advance,

Saeed

You can run CUCM 8.5 as Virtual Machines on "spec hardware".

You can run PGs as Virtual Machines on "spec hardware", but that's the only component at this stage. If you wish to have router, logger, AW/HDS, CVP etc running on Virtual Machines, at the moment you must use UCS hardware. We look forward to the future when the other ICM/CVP components can run on VMs on "spec" hardware.

Saeed,

about " can you provide with link which highlight the current support VM for UCCE. " not sure if I understood you right, but if you wanted to know which are all the UCCE components can be virtualized on VM, then please refer " Contact Center Applications " section of http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Unified_Communications_Virtualization_Supported_Applications

Pls remember to rate helpful posts.

Docwiki shows that PGs are not supported on spec hardware.  Is your source more recent?

Yes, that's the updated DocWiki from Cisco.
