/mcp• If you are installing from a data store ISO file located on the local ESXi host or on a storage area network (SAN), edit the CD or DVD drive on the virtual machine to select the data store ISO file. Select the option to connect at power on, and restart the virtual machine. If you have configured the virtual machine to use the ISO at the same time that you created the virtual machine using the OVA file, skip this step and complete the rest of the procedure. Note If you are installing Unified CM or IM and Presence Service from a Cisco Business Edition 6000/7000 appliance with the software pre-installed, go directly to the Installation Guide for Cisco Business Edition 6000 and 7000 for more information. After the server completes the boot sequence, the DVD Found window displays. Step 2 Click Yes to perform the media check. Or click No to skip the media check. The media check verifies the integrity of the DVD or ISO. If the DVD or ISO has passed the media check previously, choose to skip the media check. Step 3 If you click Yes to perform the media check, the Media Check Result window displays. a) If the Media Check Result displays Pass, click OK to continue the installation. b) If the media check fails, either download another copy from cisco.com or obtain another DVD or ISO directly from Cisco. Step 4 In the Product Deployment Selection window, specify which product you want to install: • Unified Communications Manager—Choose the product and click OK. • IM and Presence Service—Select OK. Note The window displays the products that are supported and not supported by your hardware. If only one product is supported, you do not choose which product to install. Step 5 If the Unified CM or IM and Presence Service software is pre-installed on the server, the Overwrite Hard Drive window opens and displays the current software version on your hard drive, DVD or ISO file. Click Yes to continue with the installation or No to cancel. Caution If you choose to continue with the installation, all existing data on your hard drive gets overwritten and destroyed. The Platform Installation Wizard window displays. Step 6 In the Platform Installation Wizard window, choose one of the following options: • To continue with the basic installation process, choose Proceed and continue. Allows you to configure the basic installation process. Use this installation method first-time setup or during restore from backup. • To continue with Install with Data Import, choose Import. Use this installation method for direct migrations (Fresh Install with Data Import) from the older versions of Unified Communications Manager or IM and Presence Service. • If you want to install the software first and then configure it later, click Skip. The installation process installs the software and then prompts you to configure it after the installation is complete. This method may increase the total time for the installation. Step 7 In the Apply Additional Release window, if you have a newer Unified Communications Manager SU version on the same major release than your install image, you can elect to upgrade the installation to the newer release. This option is not available for the IM and Presence Service.
