Cisco Cucm 8.6

The key thing is that you must use a 'machine' id of 'pc-1.3' or it will say your hardware is not supported.

Additionally you MUST use a virtio disk or you will get a ks_pre.sh error as soon as the install starts (a look at logs will show it can't find a disk). This is funny because even though the OS finds the disk and an fdisk -l shows it, it looks like the script looks for a /dev/vda device (virtio) and nothing else, so if you didn't use Virtio as your disk and you have a /dev/sda it won't work. Or follow the step below to change the search pattern of vd to sd

In Promxox you will have to edit your config file like this:

bootdisk: sata0
cores: 12
ide2: local:iso/Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_12.iso,media=cdrom,size=3523684K
machine: pc-1.3

You can view a listing of available Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CallManager) offerings that best meet your specific needs. If you want support. Through this video, I'll show you how to upgrade a CUCM/CUPS 8.6 to CUCM/IM&P 11.0This video is no replacement for reading the documentation on the upgrade.

The following assumes you are mounting your CUCM iso into 'cucmmount'

#we make the following directories (cucmmount is where we mount the iso and cucmeditiso is where we copy the files to so we can modify and recreate the .iso)

mkdir cucmmount

mount -o loop yourcucm.iso cucmmount

#we copy our iso files to cucmeditiso

cp -a cucmmount cucmeditiso

cd cucmeditiso
cd Cisco/hssi/server_implementation
rm -rf OpenStack VMWARE
cd KVM
rm -rf HAL RHEV
cd ./././.

Errors:

ks_pre.sh error

Normally caused by not having your VDX pattern changed as above.

The Cisco Unified Communications disc was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Cisco Unified Communications disc and press OK to retry.

Caused by lack of presence of the .discinfo text file from the root of cucmmount not being copied to your new iso root at cucmeditiso.

cp -a cucmmount/.discinfo cucmeditiso/

How To Modify the ISO to enable KVM

Tested on UCS 8.6 and 12

mkdir mountcucm
mount -o loop Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_UNRST_8.6.2.10000-14.sgn.iso mountcucm/

#we need to copy the contents because we cannot directly edit a mounted (read-only) iso

cp -a mountcucm cucmedit

cd cucmedit

# we are enabling the KVM/QEMU by changing the api_implementation.sh.proposed to .sh
