Cisco Unity
So I have a CUCM on VM going on but failed to install "Cisco Unity" at the time due to hardware issue. Is "Cisco Unity" crucial for the exam? If I want it, can I only install "Cisco Unity" or do I have to install the whole thing again? If so, what should be the hardware settings to make this work? Thanks.
