Next Community,



Nutanix开发了在Nutanix上设计和部署Cisco Unified Communications的最佳实践。我想在社区中与您分享这些资源,并利用这个空间来谈论这个主题。

Please feel free to reach out to me via this community post. I have nearly a decade of experience designing, installing, and troubleshooting Cisco Unified Communications systems of all sizes.



I want to make sure your virtual deployment of Cisco UC on Nutanix is successful!



Here are some example questions:


  1. Will Cisco support this? (Yes
  2. 第X页的Cisco Docwiki第3.2节如何适用于Nutanix?
  3. 我正在考虑实施Nutanix Metro可用性,如何将其用于Cisco UC?
  4. Cisco recommends processor X, what models of Nutanix servers meet this requirement?
您可以在上面的所有文档中找到许多此类问题的答案 - 但是您需要澄清的任何内容都可以在此处询问。

Is UCCX also supported ?

I've read a lot of the documentation on Cisco and Nutanix. Simple question that is not even addressed on the eBook from Nutanix that I can find;



Can you run the Cisco UC on the AHV hypervisor yes or no?



Much of the documentation implies ESX, but if a UC platform is a combination of RHEL and Windows servers, shouldn't it run on AHV with no problems?

Filip,UCCX将与ESXI一起在Nutanix上运行。您可以在此处从Cisco找到UCCX文档:https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/en/en/td/td/docs/voice_ip_ip_comm/uc_system/virtualization/virtualization/virtualization-cisco-unified-contact-contact-center-center-center-express。html

Today, you cannot run Cisco UC on Nutanix AHV (Or Hyper-V, or XenServer) while also being supported by Cisco.



This is not a technical limitation, it is a support limitation. Cisco requires that their UC VMs run on very specific versions of ESXi that they perform full regression testing on.



There are some bits and pieces in the Cisco UC VMs that perform hardware checks at install time and boot time to verify you're running on an approved hypervisor. Typically this just presents a disclaimer that you have to acknowledge before the VM will boot. That often looks a bit like the following.

Appreciate any feedback.

As of May 12th, 2020 the support status from Cisco has not changed. Please contact your Cisco account team to ask them about supporting hypervisors other than ESXi.
