is stored in the /OVA-ISO directory.

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
OVA
An ISO file is a DVD image containing application install files.
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_11.5.1.13900-1.sgn.iso) .
