Using Predeployed Virtual Machines

To simplify the installation of the BE7000, a number of the most popular application virtual machines have

been partially for fully preinstalled, 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:

Procedure

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.

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.
