Cisco CallManager and Presence: which versions on which Cisco UCS platforms?

[raziel78kain]

Hello.

We would like to virtualize a Cisco Callmanager and a Cisco Presence on a Cisco UCS Platform.

We have few users (about 50), which will use both a Cisco IP Phone and a Cisco Personal Communicator.

Our questions are:

• Which CallManager and Presence versions are virtualizable?
• On which UCS platforms are they virtualizable? In particular, are UCS-C platforms supported?
• Is it possible to have a Cisco CallManager and a Cisco Presence on the same UCS platform? If yes, on which platforms? In particular, are UCS-C platforms supported?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards.

For CUCM you need 8.0(2) and above.

AFAIK currently CUPS cannot be co-res, should be in a future release.

Hello all,

I too, am looking to install UCSInstall_CUP_8.5.2.10000-49.sgn on UCS B200 M2 hardware. 

The release notes for 8.5.2 (located here) state that UCS M1 and M2 hardware is supported:

< From the linked doc >

–Cisco Unified Computing System B-series blades or Cisco Unified Computing System C-series rackmount servers. For information about these Cisco Unified Computing System servers, see the Hardware and Software Compatibility Information for Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x.

So on to the Hardware and Software Compatibility Information for Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x  (located here) :

Well, we know the hardware is release... (I have that running).  Once you insert the CD/DVD in the virtual CDROM, the application suggests it cannot find a driver.  I can only assume this is due to the CD/DVD not knowing about the B200 M2 hardware (probably raid card).

Can anyone suggest where I might find a driver disk for this server that will work with the UCSInstall_CUP_8.5.2.10000-49.sgn installation DVD?
