cucm server cisco mcs 7835
i have a old cisco mcs 7835 at work thats been catching dust. It has a Intel Xeon 3.40 GHz 2 MB L2, 2gb of ram, i dont remember the hard drive size. It is running a call manager havent checked what version but figure i could incorporate this into my ccnp voice lab. Would this older server be any use in a ccnp voice lab running vmare images of cucm, cup, cuc, and etc if i upgrade it to 12gb and add a 1tb hard drive.

It shouldn't be any issue as long as you are running VMWare. The version that I'm using to lab (8.5.1) callmanager_product.conf file shows that you can't run UCx on that hardware. As long as you use VSphere 5 (I think ESXi 4 can run it too...I'm pretty sure it can), and have the resources (which it look like you will). you will be goodReading: What ever is on my desk that day :study: -

It's essentially an appliance (physical or virtual). No, you can't run VMware from within it's 'NIX OS.CCNP:Collaboration, CCNP:R&S, CCNA:S, CCNA:V, CCNA, CCENT -

What if you gain root access and then install KVM? I just might try that...lol. *walks off whistling*It's essentially an appliance (physical or virtual). No, you can't run VMware from within it's 'NIX OS.Reading: What ever is on my desk that day :study:
