Unified CCX OVA Support for Different Hardware
CCX 8.5(1) supports 3 OVAs:
- 100-agent OVA is supported on C200M2 C210M1/M2, B200M1/M2.
Note: On the C200M2, CCX supports up to 3 CCX VMs - 300-agent OVA is supported on C210M1/M2, B200M1/M2
- 400-agent OVA is supported on C210M1/M2, B200M1/M2
Co-residency guidelines for CCX are described on UC Virtualization Sizing Guidelines.
Unified CCX-Specific Details for VMWare Requirements
See VMware Infrastructure Feature Support .
Virtual Machine(VM)-Specific Unified CCX Hardware Requirements
The following Unified Communications System Hardware are the newly added servers for Unified CCX 8.5(1):
- Unified Computing System B200 M2 Blade Server (UCS-B200M2-VCS1)
- Unified Computing System C200 M2 Server (UCS-C200M2-VCD1)
- Unified Computing System C210 M2 Server (UCS-C210M2-VCD2)
See Unified Computing System Hardware for detailed information on these hardware models.
VM-Specific Unified CCX Software Requirements
See Hypervisor Support for Virtualized UC (Vendors, Products, Versions, Editions.
Unified CCX-Specific Information for OVA Templates
See OVA Templates Information for Unified CCX. Click here to download the latest Cisco Unified CCX 8.5(1) software.
As support for VMware vSphere ESXi 4.1 as hypervisor on Cisco Servers and boot from SAN have been enabled for Unified CCX 8.0(2) SU2 and Unified CCX 8.5(1), you can host Unified CCX 8.0(2) SU2 and 8.5(1) Virtual Machine (VM) on ESXi 4.1.
Follow the procedure mentioned below if you are using Unified CCX 8.0(2) currently:
- Upgrade to Unified CCX 8.0(2) SU2 or higher
- Disable the LRO (Large Receive Offload)
- Download the appropriate OVA version 2 files from OVA Templates Information for Unified CCX depending on the sizing guidelines and requirements mentioned at Unified CCX OVA Support for Different Hardware
- Upgrade VMware tools using the cop file ciscocm.vmtoolsUpgrade4.1-8.3.2-257589-v14.cop.sgn
Follow the procedure mentioned below if you are using Unified CCX 8.5(1) or higher currently:
- Disable the LRO (Large Receive Offload)
- Download the appropriate OVA version 2 files from OVA Templates Information for Unified CCX depending on the sizing guidelines and requirements mentioned at Unified CCX OVA Support for Different Hardware
- Upgrade VMware tools using the following CLI commands in Unified CCX 8.5(1) or higher:

Unified CCX-Specific VM Installation Information
Migrating to Unified CCX Release 8.5(1) from Physical to Virtual Server
To migrate to Unified CCX Release 8.5(1) from a physical server to a virtual server, follow the steps in the table below.
| Task | Reference |
|---|---|
| Perform a complete backup of Unified CCX 8.5(1) on bare metal server and store the backup TAR file at a safe SFTP network location. Shutdown the server. | Refer to the Managing Backup Devices section in the Disaster Recovery System Administration Guide for Cisco Unified CCX and Cisco Unified IP IVR. |
|
Install ESXi on any one of the Unified CCX Supported Hardware for Virtualization as mentioned above. See ESXi_Support_for_Contact_Center_Applications for ESXi version support information. |
Refer to the VMware documentation to install VMware ESXi. See ESXi_Support_for_Contact_Center_Applications for ESXi version support information. |
| Deploy VMs from the templates mentioned above. | Refer to the Readme with the Unified CCX virtual machine template. |
| Perform fresh installation of Unified CCX 8.5(1) on the VM with the same network and platform settings of the baremetal server. | Refer to the Installation Guide for Cisco Unified CCX and Cisco Unified IP IVR. |
| Log in to the Disaster Recovery System with Platform Administrator credentials and perform the restore using the backup TAR archived in the first task. | Refer to the Restore Scenarios section in the Disaster Recovery System Administration Guide for Cisco Unified CCX and Cisco Unified IP IVR. |
Note: For detailed information on Supported Virtualization Upgrade Paths to Unified CCX 8.5(1), see Software and Hardware Compatibility Guide for Cisco Unified CCX and Cisco Unified IP IVR.
Virtualization Support for Cisco Unified Workforce Optimization (WFO) in Unified CCX 8.5
Cisco WorkForce Management (WFM) and Compliance Recording (CR)/ Quality Manager (QM)/ Advanced Quality Managers (AQM) in Unified CCX 8.5 are certified to run on the Cisco UCS C210M1 or M2 platform, either as a standalone or in a co-residence configuration.
The following combination of VMs are supported for Cisco Unified Workforce Optimization (WFO) in a co-residence deployment with Unified CCX 8.5 only:
- Unified CCX and Compliance Recording (CR)/ Quality Manager (QM)/ Advanced Quality Managers (AQM)
- Unified CCX and Cisco WorkForce Management (WFM)
- QM and WFM
- Unified CCX, QM, and WFM
