(1 of 5) Cisco Unified Communications Manager on the Unified Computing System C-Series

The goal of this lab video is to show the viewer a UCS C-Series server, installation of VMware ESXi, and migrate a "Physical" CUCM server to a virtual machine. This video will also show the configuration of the redundant array of independent disks (RAID) array controller on the C-Series server as well as setup an EtherChannel on the Cisco switch and NIC Teaming on the VMware side

This lab exercise is broken up into five videos.

PART 1: In part one the viewer will see a phone call made between two phones that are registered to the physical CUCM server. This phone call will demonstrate that the phone system is up and operational at the start of the lab. After the phone call the Disaster Recovery System (DRS) built into CUCM will be used to perform a back of the CUCM database. Next the lab will use the Cisco Integrated Management Console (CIMC) on the UCS C-Series server to configure the RAID Array controller on the UCS C-Series server. The C-Series server in this lab has five hard disk drives (HDD), which two will be configured into a raid 1 or mirrored set. The last three HDD will be configured into a RAID 6 configuration.

PART 2: In part two the viewer will see the install of VMware ESXi 4.1 and the initial configuration of ESXI on the UCS C-Series server.

PART 3: In part three the viewer will see the configuration of NIC Teaming, which is configured from vSphere client on the ESXi host, and Etherchannel which is configured on the Cisco Catalyst switch. Etherchannel/NIC teaming allows the system to bundle together the two Ethernets together to aggregate the bandwidth and allow for redundancy.

PART 4: In part four the viewer will see the use of OVA templates to create a virtual machine (VM) onto the C210 ESXi host. Once the VM is created CUCM will be installed onto the VM

PART 5: In part five the viewer will see a restore of the CUCM database on to the newly created VM using DRS. Once the system has been restored a phone call will be made between two Cisco IP Communicator (CIPC) phones to prove that the new VM is operational
