Figure 12: Browse Datastore to View Preloaded Collaboration Virtual Machines and Preloaded Software

Step 7 (Optional) Cisco recommends that you archive the OVA-ISO directory locally. If a server fails, the replacement product
does not include preloaded content.

What to Do Next
Install virtual machines.

Preloaded Files on Datastore

In addition to a number of predeployed virtual machines, Cisco Business Edition servers are shipped with
selected Collaboration application software preloaded on the datastore. Consider the following points for a
basic understanding of the preloaded file types:
ISO
An ISO file is a DVD image containing application install files.

OVA
Open Virtualization Archive (OVA) is used to package and distribute the virtual machine.
Some OVA files may include a prepared disk that includes preinstalled software (for example,
cpc-provisioning-11.2.0-523-medium.ova ).
Other OVA files do not include application software preinstalled. In this case, you must deploy the
OVA template and then install the software using the ISO file that is provided on datastore (for example,
cucm_11.5_vmv8_v1.0.ova and associated ISO file
Bootable_UCSInstall_UCOS_11.5.1.10000-6.sgn.iso ) .

Note For details of which files ship with each server, see the Build Summary PDF in the datastore OVA-ISO
directory, or download from here http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/unified-communications/
business-edition-6000/products-release-notes-list.html.

Using Predeployed Virtual Machines

To simplify the installation of the BE7000, a number of the most popular application virtual machines have
been predeployed, ready for you to add configuration information to complete the installation.
To complete this process, launch the hypervisor console for the virtual machine you wish to use, power on
and follow the instructions.
Some collaboration applications (such as Unified Communications Manager, Unity Connection, UCM Instant
Messaging and Presence Service and Unified Contact Center Express) also accept a configuration file to
automate this process. To use this feature, follow these steps:

Step 1 Create an answer file for your application using the online tool at www.cisco.com/web/cuc_afg/.
Step 2 Add this file to a virtual floppy (vFloppy) image. Name the file as UCM.flp, CUC.flp, IMP.flp or CCX.flp based
on the application.
Step 3 Copy this file to the AFG folder in the hypervisor datastore.
Step 4 Power on the virtual machine.
The application completes the installation automatically.

Deploy New Virtual Machines

Follow this procedure to deploy additional virtual machines for applications that are listed in the preloaded
files. For preloaded files in the Export Restricted or Export Unrestricted software, see the Build Summary
PDF in the datastore OVA-ISO directory, or download from here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/
unified-communications/business-edition-7000/products-release-notes-list.html.
The OVA template file defines the virtual machine for specific applications.
Note the following:
• OVA templates are deployed in seconds, while a packaged OVA may take 10-15 minutes to deploy.

• The figure below shows the view of vSphere client after deployment of various collaboration applications
virtual machines. You can also see the time that is taken to deploy the last two virtual machines.

Figure 13: Deployed Virtual Machines for Applications Viewed in VSphere Client

Note In Release 11.5 and later, seven applications are preinstalled. If you are deploying virtual machines using
any of these seven applications, you can skip the following procedure.

Step 1 On the vSphere Client, navigate to File > Deploy OVF Template.
The Deploy OVF Template screen is launched.

Step 2 Browse and select the source OVA template file on your PC. For application and filename mapping, see the Build
Summary PDF in the datastore OVA-ISO directory, or download from here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/
unified-communications/business-edition-7000/products-release-notes-list.html.
Note For some applications, the OVA that you select determines the virtual machine size and therefore the capacity.
For other applications, virtual machine size is selected during OVA deployment.
Step 3 Continue to click Next to accept license agreements if prompted.
Step 4 Select the appropriate virtual machine size for your deployment.
Step 5 Specify a meaningful name for the virtual machine.

What to Do Next
