CUCM 11.5 on vmware 6.5?

[vipclubber]

Is CUCM 11.5 supported on vmware ESXi/vCenter 6.5?

I upgraded from older vmware to 6.5, does it matter?

Some of the posts are outdated on this topic from 2016 and 2017.

The below updated page seems to say that it is supported on 6.5?

https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/virtualization/virtualization-cisco-unified-communications-manager.html#v11.5

What does this mean "6.5 (For application fresh installs on ESXi 6.5 (VMFS5 or 6) and/or vCenter 6.5, use minimum OVA file version cucm_11.5_vmv8_v1.1.ova. Does not apply to ESXi version upgrades.); HX TRC 6.0 only"

I was able to deploy OVA (default 7500 users) but having difficulties booting from iso image.

Is there anything specific i should do?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

hello friend 

yes cucm 11.5 is supported on vmware vsphere 6.5

1.u have to use this OVA

cucm_11.5_vmv8_v1.1.ova

2.and this iso

UCSInstall_UCOS_11.5.1.14900-11.sgn.iso

3.but this iso comes not bootable 

inorder to make it bootable google:

Make a non-bootable ISO image bootable CUCM

follow the steps and thats it fully tested !!

have a great day
