/mcp• Add your subscriber nodes manually from the user interface of the Unified CM publisher, after the Unified CM publisher node installation completes. Step 7 For installation using Fresh Install with Data Import, follow the instructions as described in Attended Installation Task Flow, on page 46 from step 1 through 6 to export data from source node. See Install with Data Import, on page 75. Step 8 Once the OVA image is deployed successfully into the virtual machine, power on the Virtual Machine. You will observe that the installation is in process. Repeat step 4 for each subscriber node in the cluster by providing the IP Address and Host Name of the Unified CM publisher nodes. Subscriber nodes can be installed parallelly by opening multiple VMware Embedded Host Clients. Note If DHCP is enabled for OVA deployment, ensure that you go to the edit settings of the virtual machine and change the MAC option to manual (by default, this option is automatic) before powering-on the virtual machine. Enter the static MAC address mapped with the IP Address and Host Name for the Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service nodes. Touchless Installation Using VM Builder and VMware OVF Tools This task allows to deploy skip-install OVA using the Cisco VM Builder tool, which is a wrapper tool to inject the configurations parameters. This task is only supported with VMware Embedded Host Client or vCenter Server version 7.0 U3 or 8.0 U1. Note Before you begin • Requires a Linux server to run Cisco VM Builder and VMware OVF Tool. The Cisco VM Builder tool (VMware wrapper tool) and the dependent tool will be bundled and provided as .rpm file (platform-skip-install-ovftool-1.0.0.0-1.x86_64.rpm) or as a g-zipped tar file/tarball (platform-skip-install-ovftool_v1.0.tar.gz.) See the ReadMe guide for instructions on how to install .rpm/tar. Procedure Step 1 Install the Cisco VM Builder tool on any Linux server. It can be an SFTP server as well. Step 2 Copy the Unified Communications Manager and IM and Presence Service OVA image to the same server. Step 3 Using the Cisco VM Builder tool, pass the required Unified CM configurations, skip-install OVA, and VMware Embedded Host Client or vCenter for each node in the cluster based on the type of Install. Install can be Fresh Install or Fresh Install with Data Import. Configurations differ for the publisher and subscriber nodes. Use the “vmbuilder--help” option to know more about the parameters to be used.
