I will show you here how to install the Cisco Unified Communication Manager 8.6 in a very small step. I have a small lab that contain VMWare Machine with ESXI 5.0, Cisco Router that act as an NTP Server you could exchange this by your laptob windows timer and a Switch that all this item connected too. First prepare your VMWare. I'm trying to set up a long term lab for CUCM. It's my understanding that CUCM 8.6 is the last version that the eval license didn't expire. The company I work for wants me to build a lab of one CM running on 8.6. I have a Cisco log in but I can't for the life of me find where I go to download an eval license. Can someone help this lost person.
- As noted in our Cisco CallManager Express introduction page (INSERT LINK), the CallManager Express service is embedded inside the Cisco IOS. The newer IOS, the newer CallManager Express version you get. Remember that up to version 12.4.26, only the following IOS's have the CallManager Express capabilities embedded: - SP Services - Adv.
- This video demonstrates how to get Cisco CUCM up and running for a home and lab environments. I also include some tweaks to bypass hardware checks when run o.

The prerequisites (hardware and software) are the following:
- 2x UCSC-C220-M3SBE
- VMWare ESXi 5.1
- CUCM (two Subscriber nodes, Publisher, version 8.6.2.25900-8)
- CUCM (up to 1000 users)
- CUCM Guest: 2vCPU, 4096Mb vRAM, 80Gb virtual disk
- UCCX: one node, version 8.5.1.11004-25
Upgrading the Publisher
The Subscriber should be alive.
1. Take a Backup (1) – shut down the VM and make a copy.
2. Install V3 RSA keys via SFTP: Software Upgrade > ciscocm.version3-keys.cop.sgn
3. Use the following command to shut down CUCM: utils system shutdown
4. In this example the hardware was 2vCPU, 4096Mb vRAM, one 80Gb virtual disk. The following Guest VM Settings changes were required in order to upgrade to CUCM 11.5 (with 1000 users): https://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/voice_ip_comm/uc_system/virtual..
a. Guest OS: switch to 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
b. vRAM settings: increase the RAM size to 6 Gb
c. Configure the Network Adapter:
- Take a screenshot of the MAC address
- Browse the datastore. Locate the *.vmx file and download it
- Edit it. Add the following string at the end: ethernet0.virtualDev = 'vmxnet3'
- Upload the modified vmx file to the VMWARE folder
- Remove the machine from the inventory
- Add it to the inventory again
- The network adapter parameters will be updated:
5. Run the Virtual Machine with the new settings. Wait for about 20 minutes for the machine to start all the services, so the CPU stabilizes.
6. Upload the new ISO image and map it to the CUCM VM.
7. Make sure that now you have 6 Gb RAM:
8. Open the operating system administration panel. Proceed to Software Upgrades > Install / Upgrade.

- Choose ''Do not switch to new version after upgrade'
- A refresh upgrade takes about 3 hours (Publisher: Started at 11.47, Completed at 13.35; Subscriber Started at 15.15)
9. Take a fresh Backup (2) – shut down the VM and make a copy.

Recently I was working with a customer that wanted to ensure that remote sites that used SRST enabled routers had access to the same corporate Music On Hold (MoH) audio file whether they were in SRST mode or not. Unfortunately, they did not have an electronic version of the MoH audio file readily available. I found a way to download the MoH file from the existing CUCM cluster for distribution.

Lgo exam guide book. With CUCM 5.x and later, you no longer use the TFTP service to distribute MoH files to the MoH servers. Instead, you have to upload the MoH files to the publisher node and any subscriber nodes that are used as MoH servers.
Files can be uploaded using the CCMAdmin portal on each node that requires the file. However, you cannot download the files already on the server from the CCMAdmin page. Instead, you have to use the CLI to download the file.
Preparation
You must have a SSH client (to remote terminal to the CUCM node) and you need to have an SFTP server available. NetCraftsmen recommends either Titan or copSSH on Windows based systems and openSSH on *nix systems. Titan is a package that must be purchased while copSSH is a port of cygwin and openSSH for Windows systems.
Procedure
- Connect (using SSH) to the CUCM node that has the MoH audio server role or the publisher node.
- To list the music files use the command: file list activelog mohprep.
- You will see a list of MoH files in various formats (ulaw, alaw, g729, etc.). Identify the file(s) you would like to download.
- Retrieve the file using the command: file get activelog mohprep/
- You can use specific filename: e.g. mohprep/mymohfile.ulaw.wav
- You can use a mask: e.g. mohprep/*.ulaw.wav
During the file retrieval process you will be asked to specify a SFTP server, SFTP user ID, and location. Keep in mind that the file will be retrieved using the following convention:

////mohprep/
Cucm 8.6 Ova Template Download
From here you can edit and/or distribute the files as is required to suit your needs. In my case, I used TFTP to upload them to the SRST router flash and then configured the SRST router to use the appropriate file.
